John T. Charmley, editor Of The

Fargo yesterday afternoon between
trains on his way home from a three
weeks trip through the eastern states.
Immediately following the Cowan i'm

Charmley went to New York, where
he spent week or ten days and from
there he went to Washington, visiting
Philadelphia and Baltimore en- route.
Mr.. Charmley's visit at the national
capital was an enpoyable one. He was
entertained by members Of the North
Dakota congressional delegation and
was caller at the White House and
also on several portfolio heads.
During his stop off in this city he
was caller at The Forum office. Mr..

SANITATION IN
The FARM HOME
TUBERCULOSIS COMES FROM
POOR VENTILATION IN SLEEP
ING RooMs-ESkIMos NEVER
HAVE CONSUMPTION UNTIL
BROUGHT SOUTH.

Living in the country should, Of
right, be the panacea against all dis
eases arising from impure air, inn
food, says c. r. Barns in The Min
nesota University Bulletin. But, pop
ulation considered. there would appear
to be little difference in the extent to
which such diseases prevail in coun-
try or city. AS says a contemporary:
Every case OF tuberculosis, city
or country, proves that with pure air
forty miles deep over our heads we
have chosen to breathe impure air.
Ever case of typhoid fever--and we
cannot deny that the farm home has
them--proves that the drainage from
stables or outbuildings has somehow
gotten into the well. or that our worst
enemy, the common housefiy, has
washed his dirty feet in our food.
Every case of diphtheria proves that
filth is not far off,
Lack Of ventilation in sleeping and
living rooms-a superstitious dread Of
cold airs probably responsible for a
large majority Of the cases of tuber-
culosis occurring on the farms. Peo-
pie who sleep practically out of doors
that Is, with windows wide open-sel-
dom contract tuberculosis. So long as
the bed is warm 1t matters little how
cold the room is. The artic traveller.
ensconsed in a fur sleeping bag, and
with no canopy but the stars, takes his
rest under almost ideal conditions. The
eskimos never have consumption I'M
til brought south and compelled to
live in houses like ours.
Typhoid fever will never originate
on farm II the water supply is kept
pure. Such purity is assured by the
driven well" sunk deep enough to be
secure against the contamination of
surface drainage. And it often hap
pens that such a well is cheaper than
dug we'll the security of which
against seepage from barns and out
houses is always matter Of doubt un-
less tests have proven that the drift Of
contaminated under surface waters Is
away from and not toward the well.
AS for the house-fy, the protection
Of the house by screens over doors and
windows and the quick removal to the
fields of the manure heaps of which it
breeds, will add not only to the health
fulness but to the general comfort of
the home.

BARLOW, N. D. SAID TO HAVE
HAD A DISASTROUS STORM

New Rockford Provost An infant
tornado swept over this county early
Friday morning.
New Rockford was again fortunate
In being included in the outskirts Of
the storm, only slight damage being
done to small buildings and gardens
pounded fat by hail and wind, but
many of our terrified citizens feared
much more and sought refuge in cell
lars and other places of security. Rain
fell in torrents, followed by an abund-
ance Of wind-d driven hail, and for half
an hour the air was filled with flying
debris clearly visible to the watchers
by the continuous lightning.
Reports from the eastern part Of the
county state that many granaries and
barns have been tipped over and de-
stroyed, while houses suffered broken
windows from the hail.
To the south, the storm was still
worse and from Barlow the following
damage is authenticity reported:
Acme elevator. blown over.
East side Of the schoolhouse blown
down.
Powers elevator, driveway blown
away.
Congregational church, blown from
foundation.
Six barns blown over
Glass fronts of all stores blown in.
Three houses tipped over.
