NEEDLESS LOSS OF LIFE.


Now that the winter season Is APP
preaching something should be done
to prevent the needless waste OF life
from asphyxiation in North Dakota.
Every winter brings accounts Of tragic
deaths by gas from stoves that have
been Improperly handled.
The public has habit Of making a
great noise when deaths occur FREE
quently in manner more or less spec
tacular.
A death on the rail-. or as the result
Of a motor accident is sure to arouse
a prompt remonstrance from the pub
lie. But little attention is paid to the
number of deaths that occur each year
from coal gas asphyxiation. The dan
ger is greater in North Dakota than In
some other states because the living
rooms. in the winter time, are usually
closed so tightly there is no way fol
the gas to escape.
The greatest care should be exer.
cised in handling stoves, closing the
doors and regulating the hampers.

From the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast-how the means of making the
Journey have been increased since the
days Of '49l
Then the choice lay only between
the prairie schooner and the overland
route, with It's dangers of wild beast,
hunger and hostile Indians-and the
ocean schooner and the long voyage
around Cape Horn, with its intensified
perils Of the sea. At best 1t was q
choice between hardships.
For decades thereafter the situation
so remained. Then came the first
trans-continentaa railroad, followed at
comparatively short intervals by 9TH
ers-until now seeing the west from a
car window may be made the acme OF
comfort and luxurious living. Then
came the automobile and good roads

with proper ordinances at this time
our buildings will be found In far bet

The things we have mentioned
above, together with sanitation, which
Is whole subject within itself, need
very thoughtful and grave considera-

not be taken into consideration when
we realize the good these ordinances
will do for Fargo.

hen broke all previous records. states
Wheeler, when she laid eight eggs in
one day. This is how the hen was
inveigled into the egg laying race. A
nest with false bottom was placed
at the hens disposal Each time she
laid an egg Wheeler pulled string
which in turn pulled a slide allowing
the egg to drop from view. The hen
would look around for the egg for a
moment, further stated Wheeler, and
not finding It would lay another The
trick worked beautifully until the
eighth egg, when the hen. becoming
