Western South Dakota Organizing a Battal-
ion Of Infantry.

Murdo, S. Oak. April II, 1917
A military movement is on foot
and the preliminary arrangements
well under way for the organizing
OF volunteer battalion of infantry
west of the Missouri river in South
Dakota and also taking in the
territory between Chamberlain
and Mitchell. The movement was
started west of the river, however,
where it is expected to take on
rather large proportions in the
very near future according to the
large amount of enthusiasm
shown toward it during its prim--
tive stage and most of this terri
tory will be thoroughly covered.
West of the river territory deSig-
mated is that portion tributory to
the Milwaukee railway west to
Rapid City and all south of that
line to the Nebraska line includ-
ing especially Trip and Gregory
counties.
Since a state Of war was deClar-
ed to be in existence between the
United States and Germany this
western section has been on the
alert to do something for the
cause and now that the move has
been started more interest than
formerly has been enlisted. Sever
al Of the commercial clubs along
this line have already taken the
matter in hand to the extent of
holding patriotic meetings and
voting unanimous loyalty and
support, Presho, Reliance and
Murdo being among the towns
that have taken such action out
this way and Chamberlain farther
east. Most all of the towns in the
territory are beginning to show
their interest and are expected to
lend there assistance to the rails
ing of the four companys necess-
airy for a complete battalion. The
location of three of the respective

Drill For Oil Soon.

Interior Index We wish to
say that f. A. Northrup received
a letter from Mr.. Weaver the
first of the week stating that the
drilling outfit had been shipped
the preceding Friday from Butler,
Penn, by the National Supply Co.,
and that the delay in filling the
order was caused by embargoS,
etc, owing to the war. Mr..
Weaver also stated that one of
the men who is to have charge of
the drilling is at SouthShore, SD.
in readiness to come TO Interior
whenever needed, and that Mr..
Weaver himself expects to start
for this point about April 20
From this it can be seen that the
matter IS not at a Stand-still, as il
might seem to a casual fobserver
but progressing as rapidly as pos
sible.

Stand By Your
Country

Now that we have taken the
plunge, there is but one thing for
the loyal citizen OF this country
to do-stand firmly by his country,
whether it be native or adopted.
The man who does otherwise is
not true either to himself or to the
land that shelters, feeds and
clothes him.
There was many who honestly
thought that we should not go in
to war with Germany, but the
great majority of American peo-
pie thought otherwise. SO did the
President and Congress. Each
was clearly entitled to his individ-
ual opinion until such time as the
matter was definitely settled one
way or the other.
But with war actually in exist
ance, with our armies hurrying
into the field, with our navy max

ought to make every citizen of
our nei9hborin9 town feel good
and it shows to every one that
the folks over there are live
ones and do not hesitate TO
spend their money in any move
ment which will advertise their
town. The item also brings to
the mind the advantage town
receives from having a good band
and the Press sincerely hopes
that the Kadoka band which is
now being organized will receive
the same support that the organ

Cocaonut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash II with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle. and
Is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
'!rely greaselcss), Is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
THIS can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub II IN. One or two teaspoonfuls
viii make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather. and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
PARTICLE OF dust, dirt. dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and It leaves 1t fine and silky,

STATE sANAToRlA
Charges for Patients in These Institu.
tons Thoroughly Discussed

! Charges for patients in the State sani-
toria were considered by the committee
on state sanitoria Thursday afternoon
1t was less a formal hearing than
friendly discussion. participated in by
| physicians and others who have studied
the white plague and the best possible
methods Of preventing its spread in
Maine.
The present law reads that the price
paid by patients shall not exceed S.
week. There were two bilis-one merely
striking OUTFIT clause IS week." thus
leaving the amount of payment optional
with the sanatoria trustees, and the 9TH
er providing that all patients shall be
charged sum equivalent to the cost of
their care and maintenance but providing
further that the trustees may. in their
discretion, waive such charges either
wholly or in part. Both bills, it was
brought out were drawn at the sugges-
ton Of Governor Milliken, and their OBJ
ject Is the same-to prevent persons
amply able to pay reasonable sum from
receiving treatment at nominal cost, Oft
en- taking the places of the very poor,
who are refused admission because Of
lack of room.
The principal address was by DR.. W.
c. Peters of Bangor, president Of the
Bangor Anti-Tubercuiosis Association.
who agreed there should be some legis-
lation affecting wel-to-do patients. He
did not believe, however, that the best
remedy lay in charging q price proper
tionate to the cost OF board and nursing.
Informal discussion brought out that
there are three private sanitoria in
Maine, the rates ranging from SO to SIS
a week. They are equipped to care for
very many of the moderately weli-to-do
who now, because Of the lower rate, seek
the State institutions.
Finally, as compromise. Secretary
BagIey Of the state Board of Charities
and Corrections suggested an amendment
instruoting the trustees to give prefer
ence among the applicants to those least
able to pay. This would not be a man
datory discrimination against any partic-
ular class. for the trustees would be
privileged to use their judgment, and
yet the result would be the same. The
suggestion met with favor by majority
OF those present.
The hearing was rather unique in that
none OF those present appeared distinct
OF the proposed bills. It was merely an
informal discussion Of how to best relieve
suffering humanity and how best to COM
bat one Of Names greatest menaces-
the white plague.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1917-03-16

Boyder Bearce of East Eddington,
the live stock sanitary commissioner,
appeared In behalf of the bill and the
opposition was conducted by Cyrus n.
Blanchard of Wilton. The hearing COW
cred a great deal of ground. taking up
the matters of the actual worth of the
tuberculin, test and the question of
whether bovine tuberculosis could be
communicated to people. In fact it
wandered so far from the original sub
ject that Rep. Boman OF Detroit of the
committee called a halt upon the pro-
ponents before they had put in all of
their case.
DR.. J. A. Ness of Auburn defended
the test and it's further extension. He
declared that he had had all of his
cattle so tested and should continue to
do SO. He also said that the boards of
health of Augusta and Auburn were
about to require the test.
Rep. Grant of Hope related how a
sister Of his 10 or 20 years Of age con-
tracted tuberculosis from bovines IN
Massachusetts,.
F. n. vining of ST. Adams favored
the test as applied to other bovires but
did not believe that there was any
need of it for steers and oxen, exhib
tied at fairs or otherwise because they
had more opportunity to be out of
doors.
F. L. Brown Of Newport contended that
the tuberculin test was ineffective and
told OF an instance where cattle had been
passed as free from disease by the tu-
bercuIin test that were afterwards killed
and found to be rotten the whole
length" Mr. Bearce didn't always be-
neve in the tuberculin test. declared MI
Brown, but he had been converted HE
once told me he didn't believe in it. but
for some reason he has seen a new
light"
! Frank Blanchard of Wilton, Keep. Har
| ry Merrill of Gray and George L. Mer-
| rill of Gray also appeared III opposition
to the bill.
Live Stock Sanitary Commissioner
Bearce in replying to Mr., Brown S
| charges that he had been converted to
the use of tuberculin test said confession
Is good for the soul" and added that
modern barns are helping make our
live stock subject to disease Just as hot
suppers and high-heeled boots are doing
the same thing for men and women to-
day"
MIR. Brown insisted that tuberculosis in
cattle was not contagious and cited the
case of a couple who had lived for years
on the butter and milk of a COW after
wards found to be tubercular and died OF
old age.
IF offer tubercular COW for sale
as food what will my punishment be-"
inquired Frank Blanchard Of Wilton Of
Commissioner Bearce.
II am not a lawyer. Ask Mr.. Blanch-
ard. the attorney" replied Mr.. Bearce.
But you are the sanitary commission
err replied Attorney Blanchard
II think that YOU would come under
Mr.. Soule's department, the chief of the
inspection bureau, and he could prose
cute YOU replied Commissioner Bearce
when further pressed for an answer.
Attorney Blanchard also appeared in
opposition to a bill which would reduce
the amount paid for cattle condemned by
the live stock sanitary commissioner to
one-half Of their appraised value. and
contended that it was entirely unjust TO
the cattle owners Re asked the farm
ers present who were opposed to the
measure to rise and nearly every one OF
them did SO.
