The resolution of the Jefferson county

hard fight led by DIR. Russell NJ Cum
ningham of Ensley. The vote in favor
OF the resolution was almost insgnif-
cant.
When the senior censor, DIR. w. FL.
Sanders, reached that section of his re-
port he read the findings of the board,
stating that the resolution which would
give every member of any county So
ciety the right to membership and the
right to vote in that body was impos-
s.ble; that 1t would make the state body
unwieldy and that Jefferson county, with
its 300 members, would predominate on
all matters
DIR. r. NJ Cunningham and DIR. d. M.
Tally OF Jefferson, members of the board
of censors, sent in a minority report to
the effect that the present system was
not democratic or representative; that the
representation as allowed by the state
association was not fair and that no con-
sideration was given to population or
membership of the county societies choos-
ing delegates Dr. Cunningham made a

new SERVICE TO
500 IS SOUGHT
Grand Forks Shippers Favor
Plan of Placing Through
Car From Here
WOULD BETTER THE
ACCOMMODATIONS
Give Local Houses More
Opportunity to Compete
For Business There

1t is practically certain that the
proposal to establish "a through
freight service from Grand Forks 10
points OH the Wheat line of the 500
railroad, by way of the Northern Pa
cific from here to Forest River, will
be approved by the freight department
of that company.
r. For some time w. Il. Handy, the
agent in Grand Forks of the Northern
Pacific. has been interviewing local
shippers on the proposition, and he
has found that they are quite anxious
to secure such service.
Under the plan proposed a car
would be shipped out of here regular
~ to points on the 500 line. This car
would be loaded on the station sys-
tenn: that is, it would be loaded to go
directly through, and would %necessi-
tate no other change at Forest River
except the transfer of the whole car
from the N. P. lines to the 500 lines.
BY the adoption of this service,
Grand Forks shippers would be able to
get their goods onto the 500 line
about twenty-four hours faster than
they now are able to do. 1t would
place Grand Forks on an equal footing
with any other point in the handling
OF the business in that district, and
Grand Forks shippers believe the adj
vantages would be. many.
Sufficient business has been guar
anteed to make it almost certain that
the new service will be adopted.

LITTLE FAITH IN
FRIEDMAN CURE
Grand Forks Physicians
Place it on Basis With
Other Patent Medicine

Grand Forks medical physicians do
not take a great deal of stock in the
tuberculosis serum discovered by DR..
Friedmann.
BY selling the right to the American
sale of the serum to a private cor
poration, Grand Forks physicians con-
tend that I~rriedmann's cure has been
placed on the same basis as the aver
age patent medicine.
That DR.. Friedmann's name of
handling the question has, at least.
been far from professional. is one
point made by local physicians. They
hold little hope for tuberculosis suf-
ferers through the Friedman cure.
Up to this time" said one Grand
Forks physician, D Friedman has
failed to show us any results that
justify confidence in his discovery.
And it surely would seem that by this
time we should have some knowledge
of the actual value.
THE manner in which the right Of
sale of the cure has been sold t. a
corporation can hardly be cited as an
argument in favor Of the discovery;
in fact, medical journals have charg-
ed that the whole scheme has been
worked out on a commercial basis
from the first, and that the wide
spread advertising given the stuff has
only been a part Of the campaign of
the hackers of the affair."

AMERICAN B /
Let it be Known Just What
Spring Bath Treatments
Are Good For

II mineral springs, particularly
tnose located on government reserva-
lions. n advertised extensively as
possessing great medicinal values, do
actually possess such properties, the
North Dakota Medical society believes
the government should give thorough
information on the subject.
Resolutions to that effect were
adopted at the annual meeting of the
North Dakota Medical society, which
was brought to a close at Minot yes
terday after Grand Forks had been
selected as the place for the 1912
meeting.
1t Is proposed that a full investiga-
ton Of the medicinal prophecies of
the mineral springs be made. and a
fair and unbiased report thereon be
made. sc that the public may know
Just what 1t may look for in the way
of benefits from the use of such wa
ters.
Other resolutions adopted include
condemnation Of the feet splitting
plan. support OF the federal health
bureau and placing of life insurance
examinations on a better basis.
With reference to life insurance 1t
is pointed out that some companies
pay a very small fee. and the result
is that they have to cast about for
the physicians to make the examina-
ton at the figure allowed. The med
les question the value Of such exam
nations.
Another matter discussed during
the convention was that of having an
attorney for the association who would
he able to give his time to questions
having to do with the profession in
