THE CARBON DIOXIDE TREAT.
 MENT OF CRI.

l THE CARBON DIOXlDE TREAT. MENT OF CRI. A reader submits this interest ing suggestion:
 I, like everybody else, have al- ways been subject to colds and have had my share of them. Not withstanding the remedies I took, like everybody else I seldom started the remedies soon enough and the cold was quite likely to run its course regardless of the | remedies.
 Four times the past winter had all the symptoms of cold, and beat every one in half an hour or an hour without taking single remedy.
 After getting into bed I merely pulled the bed clothes up over my head and stayed thus about half an hour, and within that time all the symptoms of the cold has dis. appeared. Nose cleared up, heavi- ness went out of my head and tingling went out of my throat in half an hour.
 Is it possible that breathing dead air or air that has been par- | bAdAy O@AhSdSIV0 AA1o O tSA0ShSC " will the cold germ? What do you think? (L. F. S.)
 Quoting from the Cri booklet (copy mailed on receipt of 10 cents in coin and stamped envelope bear ing your address):
 You may have noticed when you had coryza or sore throat that when you got snug in bed the trou- ble seemed alleviated. All the symptoms are abated. Why? Be- cause the circulation is capitalized, more blood in the surface vessels, less in the congested or inflamed tissues.
 The query of L. F. s. concerning the effect of dead air or rebreathed air on the "cold germ" is not a matter of fact. No one has as yet identified such germ. If the cri happens to be, say, diphtheria, measles, scarlt< fever, or any other specific infection, it is not reason able to imagine that rebreathing for any length of time could des- troy the germ that his invaded the tissues. Of course 1t wouldn't help the victim much to destroy germs that might be free in the | SSCTSllOuS Ol IlOSSs IlOulIls luIOdI or breathing passages or germs on the surface of these mucous mem
 branes. Those germs are not doing the patient any harm. It is the germs that have invaded the tis- sues that are making him sick. You can't accomplish much with any germ destroying remedy against germs so entrenched.

 is universally recognized as the most effective way to cope with any

 Provided you choose a good brand and a fairly conventional scent, perfume makes the perfect present for almost every woman on your Christmas list. It is the gift de luxe and one that will be re- memBered long after the holiday season is only a memory. You should try to select odors that suit the personalities of the recipients. For instance, single flower varieties generally are best for young girls; heavy, spicy types are good for sophisticated and n1a- ture women; while delicate, bou- quet scents are for those who like only a suggestion of perfume about them. Remember, of course, that a diminutive fiacon of an experi-
 sive brand is better than sump-
 tious bottle of an inferior perfume. If you feel 'extravagant send col ogne or toilet water to match the perfume. You can get sets, you
 know-beautifully boxed and con | taining perfume and toilet water.
 These save you the trouble of wrap ping each bottle separately and l packing them so they won't break | In transit.
 Next to perfume, a handsome l powder case is a wise choice. The | popular as they were last season. They take up too much space in a | bag. Buy compacts early atld have them monograHmed. If you know the exact shade of rouge a woman
 uses, by all means give her a dou-
 ble compact. If you aren't at all sure about the color of her skin,

 You were at the Blue Jug?"
 "Yes!"
 "Who took you?' roughly. "Dick Randall" "That tea hound!" Tony laughed, amused. He was not jealous of Dick then. Well, who could be jealous of a gabby idiot like Dick?
 Mac brought him along. Dick asked him to get him a blind date"
 Tony laughed. Dick probably bribed Mac with tickets for the show. Macs Scotch. you know!
 "Well, anyway I think I prom ised Dick a date this week." Ann said. She glanced at Tony and saw his eyes darken. He drew the car to the side of the road. took the cigaret from his lips and turned to Ann.
 "No funny business, Ann" He laughed a little unsteadily. Then he threw the cigaret aside, pulled her into his arms and kissed her violently.
 Irony, you're almost breaking my bones!"
 "You will break that date?"
 "Of cOurse." She could never have gone through with it any way.
 Tony settled back in his seat and started the car. ]
 "Who was that girl you spoke to?" Valeria asked Peter Kendall on the way home from the night club.
 Ann Hollister."
 Where did you meet her?",
 "I haven't really met her."
 "But I saw you speak,"
 Peter told her about Ann's visit to his grandfather. Ann had left her card, otherwise he would never have known her name though he had talked to her,
 He neglected to tell Valeria just how he happened to talk to Ann. He failed to mention also that he had gone to the bat with k,s grandfather for her. And he said nothing about the brief visit in Ann's home in Georgia.
 Valeria might not understand his interest in helping the other girl.
 "so she works" valeria said. She was thinking that it wasn't likely Peter would be even mildly interested in a girl who didn't move in his social circle. It>was strange how upset Valeria had been after she saw this girl wave to Peter. There was something arresting about her an unusual quality in her beauty. She had charm and personality. Unexpectedly Valeria returned to the attack. You two seemed on very friendly terms"
 "Nice girl" Peter said.
 Evidently you think so."
 Peter turned. Valeria's curved lips were compressed into 2 angry. He threw an arm about her affectionately, pulling her head against his shoulder. sweet heart. don't tell me you're jealous"
 "Don't be silly, Peter. It's only that it seemed queer for you to be interested in a girl you don't know"
 "Who said I was interested ?"
 "You aren't not the slight est?"
 "Well. of course not, little idiot" Peters tone was vehement.
 well, why didn't you say so in the beginning?"
 Valeria lapsed into silence. She had just remembered Peter hadn't explained why perfectly strange girl had waved to him. Or was she perfectly strange, in spite of what Peter had said?

Once the carefree days of his f1ancee's girlhood were behind her he was sure she would show the womanly qualities he had missed at times - missed in all the girls he knew. They didn't realize that another side of life existed-the side he saw sometimes when he was at Kendallwood talking to the men who worked in his grand fathers immense factory.
 His grandfather assured him that workers in the Kendall fac- tory were paid more than workers in any other factory nearby. Old Peter Kendall had equipped a large playground for the children and done many things to improve conditions for those who worked for him. ..

Q. What kind of work am I best
Presented by INSTITUTE OF CHARACTER ANALYSIS

Q. What kind of work am I best suited for?
 A. You will delight in respon- sibility, and during your life will be very truthworthy, but in spite of these two desirable traits, you will often be lacking in self es- teem. Watch this because it may have a tendency to make you feel of little consequence, and you may lose heart to the extent of giving up ambition, and efforts 10 seek a high place in this world where you rightfully belong. When your type recognize and overcome their inherent weaknesses, they be- come the very salt of the earth. A great deal depends on your asso- dence indiscreetly in strangers or new acquaintances. You would be most favored as a dentist, sur geon, business man, especially suc- cessful in foreign commerce, ship ping, etc. Get plenty of exercise and do not drink intoxicants.
 Q. What will my vocation be regarding music teaching and nursing?
 A. Here is a line from your personal Analysis - (your type make good instructors, artists, mI- sicians and teachers) = nursing rarely ever plays a part in their makeup, but benevolence and a hospitable nature are strong characteristics, and would come in handy were you to take up nurs- ing. Music should be adhered 10, although I emphatically advise a practical business education along with it. You would be surprised to know the leaders in politics, science, business, etc, that are fin- ished artists with extreme talent. There will be no trouble taking music on the side and becoming qualified or teaching or what you will. I myself have studied music both singing and instrumental, and played a church organ for years. I have also sung in public, and it has never interefered with my other work in any way. am trying to place you safely, ard that should be an easy matter at your age. There is no reason why you cannot progress actively along more than one line. When you are older you can pick the vocation that shows the best paying results. In the meantime the pleasure and popularity good musicians attract to themselves, is worth the extra energy it takes to cover more than one talent. You are young, and study will bring out versitality. An ability greatly appreciated.

CHAPTER VII
 Evidently Sarah had heard and recognized Tony's laugh - that Ann's pulses throbbing. Perhaps Mac had heard it, too. He and Sarah began talking animatedly, all at once, giving Ann time to re- gain her composure.
 Later, when they were alone, Sarah said to Ann, Pity grand fellow like Peter Kendall couldn't have chosen a nice gal like you and let that double-crossing Val eria tie up with someone like Tony',.
 Aims eyes flashed as she flew to Tony's defense. You might wait for his explanation. Sarah. Tony may have a good one."
 I'll bet he has" Sarah replied dryly. She was applying cold cream to her gamin-like face. Her dark eyes looked wisely out Ut Ann from the thick, white mask.
 Ann turned away. She couldn't meet Sarah's gaze.
 ''Any way" Ann said indig- nantly. there's no reason to com- pare Tony with Valeria Bennett, who, seems to be a cheat, judging from the way Dick Randall talked"
 s'She is cheat" corrected Sarah. Everyone knows it except Peter Kendall. Why, if some of the things that girl has pulled ever got out! You see, Peter Ken ing abroad. He really doesn't lr vpho chn,Ss lilyn ho I've heard, they knew each other as kids and she got her hooks into him early. Evidently she keeps foot on the brake when he's around
 Ann was only half-interested. She was thinking about Tony. Ann felt sick with jealousy and fury and disappointment. Now she knew that she was capable of be- ing shrewish. It was horrid feel ing this way. She felt cheap and debased and frightened.
 Don't spend the rest of the night in stew over Tony" Sarah advised from the bathroom door, where she was wiping away the cold cream. why girls fall for men who keep them upset all the time Is beyond me! I'll take more peake and security and less ex- citeinent every time.
 Ann did not reply. She was not telling Sarah, but there was plenty she would say to Tony tomorrow. Plenty!
 When Ann returned from lunch ne5t day she found note on her desk which read, "Howdy. What are you doing? Wasn't that swell moon last night? Tony"
 Ann clenched the note in her hand and dropped the tight little wad into a waste-paper basket. night ?" When he'd been seeing the moon with Eileen! We'll, he'd soon know how Ann was feeling.
 And then after she Eeached home there was the usual call, and Ann said, yes, of course, she'd like to go for a drive.
 The busy morning had been helpful. She was glad she would be able to raise a calm face and friendly eyes to Tony. It would be much better to talk things out quietly. without letting him know the storm of emotion that had swept her.
 She was ready when Tony came at seven. Soon they were spin ming along the street in his bat tered blue roadster.
 "You look pale. Busy to-day?"
 "Yes," Ann said. "Awfully."
 "Sorry about last night. worked late on a rush order and then bunch of fellows dropped by with Eileen and another girl and dragged me out to the Blue Jug"
 "Yes."
 It was hard to keep the glow of happiness from her voice. If Tony had deceived her about last night she would never have forgiven him. But he hadn't tried to cover up. He had come through with everything. What an idiot she had

Q. What does the future hold for me?
 A. At your age, my child, the future rests almost in your own hands, as God has favored you with the gifts of a genius. Your rearing and training require the highest degree of judgment. Some- times you are difficult to manage, because of over sensitiveness, and if handled without discrimination you become moody, irritable and melancholy. But let your type be understood and treated with reason and love, this seeming stubborn ness, is transformed into a will ingness to cooperate. You should strive for an artistic career. Your kind are meant to be students in | professional and educational pur- suits. Travel will form no small part of your future.
 It is fully understood in advis- ing you on any subject True Re- flection, the Institute of Character | Analysis and Associates make no claim to supernatural powers. And this advice for which (no charge is made) must be regarded as per- sonaI opinions as it is given us such.

You may be sure, your city and the doctors concerned will lend you their very best aid. Nat urally your husbands small pay cannot at present give you what is required since it is hardly enough to cover the expense of food. Go immediately to the clin- ic and you may obtain informa- tion that will tighten your cares and worries to a great extent. The best is none too good. In taking care of yourself you are fostering health for the good foy uor family and the life of the little soul com ing. The doctors at the clinic will explain the rules that are in reach of all you may be sure.

Here In North Dakota. the Repub-
lican party as an effective instrument
to control principles died in 1917.
Both the Nonpartisans and their OPP
ponents discarded all party principles
then and reduced party action merely
to the quest for office. The name Re-
publican now Is being used merely q

label could not define what Re-

had fusionists under several labels
who have sought to combat the lar
ceny Of the party label and restore
some semblanoe Of concerted political
action in behalf OF certain principles.
But for the most part these efforts
have only been partially effective In
this state. Since 1917, the Republican
party has been under the control OF the
Nonpartisans, many Of whose leaders
fight the Republican national party
and its principles in and out Of sea-

election day.
