Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 1.-THE SOW
ereign state Of North Dakota is
breaking its own laws. The last ses-
sion of the legislature enacted q law
which became effective Sept. l, which
outlawed the public drinking cup in
this state. This new law bars tho
public drinking cup from trains run
ming in this state and from all sta
lions, public and and parochal schools,
educational institutions Of any de-
scription whatsoever, and all pubic
buildings no matter by whom owned
or operated. This is a general law
which is being enacted by many states
in the union and is considered by all
health authorities as q step in the
right direction. Each and every viola.
ton Of the law is to be treated - a
misdemeanor and is punishable by q
fine not to exceed $25.
In conjunction with this law is a
federal statute barring public drink
ing cups on interstate trains, so that
the state ought to be in a pretty good
position to wage 4 successful war or
the festive bacteria.
While the schools of the city and
the hotels generally have compiled

it is not decided yet who ought t
suffer for the violation Of the law.

SCHOOL BOARD
PAYS WARRANT IS

Treasurer W. e. Bryant, Of the local
school board, has been a busy man the
last few days. He has been so busy
looking after the interests of the Dew
lis Lake school district that he has
had no chance to attend to his own.
The reason for this is that he has
been figuring interest on and paying
off about $4,000 worth Of outstand-
ing scool warrants.
These warrants were owned not only
in this city but in different parts Of
the state, and their payment involved
an extra large amount of labor. The
cleaning up Of these warrants puts tho
local board of education for the COM
