TO BUILD
TEACHERS
COTTAGE

Two weeks ago it was announced
that the National Lumber Manufacture
ers had decided to sponsor a campaign
for the building of a teachers cottage
for every rural school in the state of
North Dakota it was announced that
the association was figuring on hav-
it might make its offer to assist in this
work practical.
A way has been found to give prac-
tical assistance for this social service

subject you will be as much surprised
as / was to find how many cottages
have already been built in such states
as Washington, Texas, Oklahoma,

Minnesota. Moreover, there is urgent
call for them in at least some sections

recognized institution.

Mr.. kellogg has prepared q general
statement Of the needs of any such
cottage, which will fit almost any To-
cality when he says: "The teachers
cottage will of necessity be within the
boundaries of the tract Of land assign
ed for the school house, or on a separ-
ate lot near by. The building site
should be chosen SO as to give the cot
tage as good a setting and outlook as
possible. It should contain an r or
more to furnish room for a garden
patch, q chicken house, a COW Or horse
stable, and perhaps also room Off
some demonstration work where ele-
mentary instruction in agriculture is
introduced in country schools. Such
courses will increase in the future,
and it will be we'll to provide for them
in selecting the site and determining
its size.
"The cottage should be Of two or
more rooms, depending upon the abil-
ity of the district to build, or the pos
sibility of combining with another dis
trict for a union school with n or
more teachers. The cottage should be
warmly and substantially built, for in
lifelong run it is cheaper to build
snugly than to pay fuel bills, and the
same type of building which is warm
in winter is cool in summer. More
over, cheap, fimsy construction will
prove most expensive in the long run
for the cottage is to be a permanent
institution in the community, and
be built to give many years of service.
Especial attention should be paid to
details of arrangement since the teach
er or teacher wife will often do her
own work, and steps should be saved,
A good water supply is the first es-
sential. If possible a bath room should
be provided, and most certainly a
cheap but effective method Of sewage
disposal. These are items Of rural san
~itation which are sadly neglected
The proper handling of them will be q
permanent example to the rest of the
community, and a great factor in the
improvement of conditions of country
living.

cality and best adapted to its needs

sultation with the nearest lumber deal.

 There are two hypotheses regarding the duel after the war In some cos-s the disputants have both been corn batants in the great war and will find it ridiculous to make a show of cour- age against each other after having al- ready shown 1t together many times against a common enemy.

Dr. Links first experiments were made wi h sufferers from tuberculO- sis. It occurred to him that their eX- cessiVe fatigue mornings might well be due to loss of salt, and that thlS might be counteracted by a salt ra- ton. He began by giving a level teaspoonful of salt (about five grams) in small glass of water just before patients retired. The result was a greater freshness and absence Of Weariness on the following morning, but the patients either had no night sWeats or else very slight ones. All patients except those suffering also from stomach catarrh and high fever stood the salt dosing without any Ill effects whatever.
 His experiences led Dr. Link to experiment with healthy persons, and especially soldiers. About 100 sol diers of one regiment were given a teaspoOnful of salt at 545 o'clock in the morning before beginning their days march. After a march of near ly twenty miles in muggy weather the soldiers thus dosed exhibited much less fatigue than their comrades, and their precipitation was but a fraction of that of the others.

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Aug. IS. So widespread and considerable has been the rise in the prices of Dutch stocks on the Amsterdam BOurse since it's reopening after six months idloness in February, 1915, that 8 list of hundred of the principal banks industrial concerns, oil, development, rubber, tobacco and shipping cona- ranies shows a total gain in value of over SIP, 2,OOO,0OO. This, figure is ar rived at on the basis of the difference in quotations and the respective amounts of issued capital. It is true that there has been a considerable decline in the case of certain other stocks, but the present position IS on the whole striking one in view of the fear and anxiety with which the reopening of the stock exchange was viewed One shipping cOmpany's shares have risen over TOO per cent. and number of stocks of various kinds have advanced 100 and 200 per cent.

 Berlin, July ging re- suits from the administration of com mon salt as a remedy against the en- feebling night sWeats of consumptives and against excessive precipitation in the case of marching soldiers are re- ported by Company Surgeon Link in an article in the Munich Medical Weekly.
 Sweat contains about six parts of salt in the thousand. hard march of a few hours on hot day results in the emulation of five to six iters of sweat, with a salt content of "A to 30 grams. A strong night sweat of cOnsumptive exudes as much as 2 1-2 liters, causing a salt loss of fifteen grams. This amount is far from unimpOrtant, since the blood contains altogether only about twenty grams of salt, an amount about cor responding to the maximum daily consumption of salt in foods.

WAR HAS KILLED
 FRENCH DUELLING
Field Of Honor Affairs No Longer
 Favored in France

Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
 Paris July 30.-The duel is one of the ancient institutions of France that has fallen into neglect during the war The last sensational encounter on the field of honor"-a bloodless one took place after the election of the chamber of deputies in 1914 not long before hOstilities broke out. It was between Joseph Caillaux, former min ister of finance and his unsuccessful opponent Louis d'AiIlieres Caillaux fired into the air and d'Aillieres fired into the ground.
 Since that meeting M. dAillieres has been grievously wounded on an other field of honor" Acting as in tcrmediary officer between the firing line and the command in the rear, he was hit by a fragment of a shell that maimed him, probably for life. It Is attributed to the fact that so many Fronchmen, like M. dAillieres have shed their blood on the battle field that the duel has been aban- dOned and there is a well-defined sen timcnt that it has come to an end for good and all.
 SomC credit the "saCred union" of parties and classes with this reform, while there are certain proofs that if is due to popular deprecatiOn of nor sOnal conflicts between Frenchmen While "the Germans are still at Nov on.' The sacred union" has not pre- vented disputes and provocations.

CENSOR FOR PLAYS.
All Impersarios Must Submit Pieces
 Before Passports Arc Given.

Paris, Aug. 1S.-The censor has taken in hand the repertOry of French theatrical companies playing abroad since a piece given by French com many was hissed in Madrid the other day. The government considers that the good renown of the country re- ouires that when it's artists make foreign tours, their programs rep resent what is best instead Of what i3 worst in French dramatic art All impersarios sending theatrical com Danies out of the country are now obliged to submit the pieces they m tend to play to the censor perore passports are given to the company.
 A gradual return to the extreme freedom which prevailed at tlhleS before the war in the designing or posters has also been checked by the prefect of police. He has issued an ordinance requiring that, after July 1. no posters for advertisements can be posted on the walls of Paris un- less the text and the designs have been approved by his office.

JAPANESE STILL
 REVERE SHR|NES
', Every Quarter Century Sacred Temples Are Reconstructed

Correspondence of the Asso Press.)
 Paris, Aug. 5.-The extent to which
 Japan is clothing, shoeing, armng
 and munitioning the Russian army was presented to a military observer
 who has just returned from trip
 along the Russian front.
 I was astonished," he said "to find great numbers of Russian soldiers
 clothed from head to foot in uniforms made in Japan. They carried on their shoulders Japanese guns; their car fridge belts were filled with car tridges made in Japan; their leather belts and buckles were from Japan And the stout hob-nailed shoes they wear are from hides gathered in Korea and made into shoes in Japan"
 Tt is strange" he went on, "that Russia went to war with Japan over Korea, and now Korea, the source of all the trouble, is supplying Russia with the shoes in which her soldiers are marching to victory. Korea is a great grazing country and is proving a vast reservoir of raw hides which the Japanese are rapidly turning into boots, shoes, saddles and leather fur nishings."
 How did these supplies get from Japan to the Russian frOnt?" the Ob- server was asked.
 FIt was noted," he said, that about the only vital point where the Ger mans had not been able to send their submarines was in the waters of the east China sea, the straits of Korea and the Sea of Japan. These are the waters separating Japan from Russia and the Asiatfc mainland, and the i routes over them, commercial and mill 1 itary, are open and without menace" 1
 What sort of arms and munitions ] Is Russia getting from Japan ?" was | asked "All sorts" was the reply, from | the service rifle and small field pieces | up to the big 12-inch guns. The Ja- ] panese 12-inch Is a terrible weapon, l and they are content not to make any l of the 14-inch and 16-inch guns, as l they consider from a military stand 1 point that the immobility of the mon 1 ster gun offsets it's advantages, where l as the 12-inch is a mobile gun and 1 very deadly"
 "It is said that French and Japan i ese officers are now furnishing the ex- pert direction of the Russian artillery fire, which has made it so effective. Did you see any of these officers was asked.
 'No, and the rer ort is not correct" said the observer. '"The Russian ar tillery officers are directing their own fire, and are getting splendid results. The only Japanese and French officers are those temporarily assigned to eX- plain the workings of a new piece, just as an expert is sent along to ex- plain any complicated piece of ma chinery. Japanese experts accom-
 
 not to maneuver them in action but to explain how 1t was to be maneuvered. That Is the extent of their help, and the Russians should get full credit for what they have accomplished in oper- Rting their artillery. No, the Japanese have done remarkably in arming, clothing and munitioning the Rus sians, but they have not had chance to do the fighting"
