Fifteen years ago wo should have
laughed at the idea of any one going to
school to learn how to keep we'll. To-day
the entire country is, figuratively speak
ing, going to school to learn how to resist
and master tuberculosis. which menaces
the American army and threatens the
man power of the nation.
We are going to school to study this dis
ease, its prevention and cure, because it
has suddenly assumed national import
ance. 1t has caused thousands of our men
to be rejected from the army. Yet if far
visioned men and women had not waged
a steady and systematic war against it
for years before this there could be no
movement Of popular enlightenment and
education to-day.
The anti-tuberculosis movement has
passed the kindergarten and elementary
days because these men and women have
been everlastingly on their job. They
have used every legitimate method of ar
resting attention. Fifteen years ago lit
tie was known about consumption. To-
day, as result of their work, every
school child has a chance to learn how to
resist it.
The movement has been carried on
along lines Of popular education. Tuber-

STATE CHARGES BURlE|GH

(Continued From Page One)
Iuavl,s selIlng Iortn rus views of the
motion for a change of venue.
The states request that the case be
tried in some other county came after
the jurisdiction of the court had been
formally attacked in plea at bar
from the defense, which held that in
asmuch as the required number of
citizens of Burleigh county had petit
toned for a grand jury, and since the
Judge of this court had declined to
call such grand jury, and the defend
ant therefore had not been indicted
by such grand jury, the court had no
jurisdiction over the case.
The state demurred to- the plea as
an improper return; sustained the &C
ton of the court in denying a grand
jury, on the ground that the petit
lions requesting a grand jury had not
been filed with the court more than
Is days preceding the next regular
term, and argued that the court OF
Burleigh county has jurisdiction.
Judge Nuessle sustained the demur-
rer. Both motions, together with the
original petitions calling for a grand
Jury and Judge Nuessle's reply to h.
A. Thompson, Anton Beer and Clinton

my mind one strong characteristic of
your friend is found here. He lived
a large life, in that he lived in the

And yet may we not all pay him even
more fitting tribute, in accepting
the ideal which he tried to fill. This
great world, with its never ending sue
cession OF problems, brings before us
hour by hour objects Of sympathy and
love. The cry of the needy and the
distressed is often heard. May it ever
reach our ears. The struggling ambi-
lions of the young should receive our
attention, and the discouragements of
the old should bring response. And
then life will be richer by far than
of old.
I'VE bid him a loving farewell, and
as we kneel by his bier we will pray
that:

From France

Pupils Of the North Ward school
were delighted last week to-~receive
"a letter from John William Nelson,
Co. A., 164ths infantry, 41st division,
Camp Mills Hampstead, L. l., who was
In the eighth grade of the public
schools when he enlisted last spring
with Eismarck's pioneer company in
the First North Dakota. Mr.. Nelson's
letter is exceptional in that it came
through with no mark of censoring. It
was read to his classmates last week,
and each Of the students has promised
to write Mr.. Nelson letter, which
probably will follow him to france.
Addressing his letter to the young
people of the high school, Mr.. Nelson
says: I'VE are now in Camp Mills,
Hampstead, N. Y. We arrived here
from Camp Greene about half ,nonta
ago. The people in the south,
around Charlotte, N. c., were very
good to the Soldiers and hated to see
the national guard leave there We
had fine camp there and fine drill
ing grounds, and we were only drilling
eight hours day.
Since We left Bismarck we, have
seen some pretty sigths. On the way
from Charlotte to New York we went
through Washington, D. c., and the
Red Cross met us there and gave us
q big feed. also saw the White
House all lighted up, and it was GER
ta1nly pretty sight: When we went
from New Jersey to New York we
passed through big tube about
mile long and we went through there
about 70 miles an hour This tunnel
was about 800 feet under the surface
of the Hudson river. We also saw the
Brooklyn bridge.
The camp mere is not as nice as
Camp Greene. All you see here in the
sky are aeroplanes.f 1t is fun to watch
them loop the loop and practice fall
ing. There is not much else to tell
you except not to be surprised if you
hear we are in France in about six
weeks"
