FARGO cLEANLlNEss.

Fargo is healthy city. The health
officials report there is less contagion
now than at this season for years.
The city has made a great deal OF
progress in sanitation. Much has
been done during the past FIVE years.
OF course there is room for a great
deal more-if a proper and a united
effort could be made. There has been
constant war against the backyard
rubbish pile-the breeding place OF
disease. The health officials have done
much toward teaching the people how
to protect themselves. The local pa
pers have printed many columns of
matter urging general clean-ups.
The work should not cease. There
is still a great deal to be done. The
microbe has wonderful recuperating
powers and the health officials and
citizens must keep everlastingly
after it.
Nature has been kind to Fargo. No
better climate need be sought. But
climate needs some assistance-and
citizens cannot neglect sanitary pre-
cautions without paying the penalty.
Cleanliness is a big factor in the de-
velopment of greater and better
city.

President Button in Address Hints at
Shocking Disclosures. Of Recent q,
, .,,, Investigation. ~. - 3,

MILWAUKEE, Mis- Aug: 2.-SeVeral1n-
dustrial health and accident insurance COM
panies were severely criticise dby President
Joseph Button of Virginia In his annual
address today before the forty-second ma
tional convention Of state insurance COM
missioners which will continue through
Friday.
President Button said an investigation by
a committee of fourteen or fifteen com.
panies doing a health and accident busi-
ness resulted in disclosures that were
shocking in the extreme.
Instead OF basing the adjustment OF
claims on equitable principles" said Mr..
Button, some Of the companies examined
resor ed 10 every form of trickery and de-
ceit and even forgery and theft in order
TO escape their honest obligations. This
was all the more outrageous In view OF the
fact that those frauds were perpetrated
on the poorer classes, who, IN the very
nature OF things should be given every
possible protection.
"As the committee which maos the in
vestigation has It's report nearly ready, /
shah not anticipate the remedies they will
suggest for the conditions there disclosed,
except to say that II Is incumbent on US
to root out this evil without mercy"
President Button pointed to the success
fthe uniform bill for the regulation Of
fraternal companies, commonly known as
the Mobile BILL" which. he stated, had
been adopted by thirteen states. He also
spoke in advocacy of civil service in con-
nection with insurance business.
