AND TOWELS.

John w. Cox, director of the state
public health laboratory at the uni
versity of North Dakota, has made a
health survey Of the city in co-opera-
tion with Burton Ford, director of the
local branch of the laboratory. They
found number of public places where
a common drinking cup was used in
stead Of individual cups as requ,
by law. A number of restaurants u.s.
ed common towel instead of ind1-
vidual sanitary cnes as required. All
these places were given a certain
time to make changes in their ar
rangements to conform to the require
ments of the state and failing to do
so they will be punished.
A number of hair brushes and
combs were confscated at places
where they were used in common, and
will be used as evidence against the
proprietors if they do not comply with
the law.

END LIVES
ONE is FOUND DYING ON BAR
RACKS STEPS, WHILE SECOND
BLOWS BRAINS OUT.
MEMBERS OF SAME COMPANY
SMITH, COMRADES SAY, MOURN
ED FOR SWEETHEART-COLE-
MAN HAD DOMESTIC TROUBLE

Suffering from poisoning, probably
self-administered, Private Roland F.
Smith, G company, Thirty-sixth regi-
ment, dragged himself to the Fort
Smelling reservation and died on the
steps of the barracks Monday evening.
A few hours later, Fred J. Coleman,
private in L company of the same reg
iment, placed tn. muzzle of his own
rifle to his heal and pulled the trig-
ger. Death was instantaneous.
Board Is Investigating
A special military board is investi-
eating the cause of Smiths death.
He had been absent from the fort for
nine days without leave, and is be-
lieved to have feared punishment on
his return. His companions said he
worried because he wanted to "return
to the only girl and marry her." but
could not marry while the war lasted.
Coleman had shown signs Of mel
ancholy over his personal affairs. He
enlisted at Chicago as single man
last July, but had since told compan-
ions he was married. 80
Returning from a short leave near
midnight, Coleman placed the butt of
his gun against the barrack wall,
held the muzzle to his head and fired.
He oied instantly.
Names A "May Smith,"
Smith is believed to have taken the
poison in either St, Paul or Mime
apolis and then made his way to the
fort in dying condition. His par
ents ARE Mr.. and Mrs. Fred A. Smith,
live at Sterling, ILL.,, and in note
found on his person he asked that a
May Smith, st. Paul, be notified. Her
addess was not given in the note.
Coleman is son of Mrs. Catherine
Coleman, 3537 South Mozart street,
Chicago and enlisted there July 18.
The bodies of both men will be sent
to their former homes.

Kimball Keeping will be remember
ed by many as the first prin pal of
the Hampden school. And during the
three years from 1907 to 1911 which
he held this position, he not only
po1ved himself to be a very compe-
tent teacher, but he made many warm
friends who will be greatly grieved to
hear of his fate.
After graduating from Prince Ed
ward College, P. E. l., he came to
North Dakota and took normal
course at the Mayville Normal.
Upon completing his third term
here he decided to take four year
course in civil engineering at McGill
University, Montreal, Canada.
In 1915 upon graduating from that
institution he accepted position Of
fered him by the Canadian Govern
ment and went to Alaska. This po-
sition he held until he saw. that his
country needed his. sevices in stamp

PATENTS TO Be USED

SCIENTIFIC SECRETS AvA1LA-
BILE. sG . 4

Washington, Oct. 30.-The vast
store Of German scientific informal: n
in this country was opened today to
American manufacturers in regula
7tions issued by the federal trade CON-,
mission, under which enemy owned
patents and copyrights will be licensed
for manufacture by citizens OF the
United States.
After the regulations were made
public, the commission met gro!.D of
medical men to consider licensing the
manufacture of certain drugs, princl-
pally salvarsan, used in virulent hood
diseases, and non-toxic substitutes for
local anaesthetic's, of which the supply
in this country has run dangerously
low since the war interrupted conf
merce.
Approximately 10000 patented and
copyrighted articles are said to he af-
fected by the commissions order.
These include dyestuff formulas of vi
tai importance to American industries
and mechanical articles of wide use.
The humanitarian effect Of the or
der attracts the widest attention. 1t
was said to be likely that any licenses
issued for the manufacture of salyar-
san would carry provision that a
certain per cent of the outcome be
turned over to the public health ser
vice.
To Safeguard Public,
Whether prices for drugs manrfac-
-tured under license will be determined
by, the commission, was not announc>
ed, but it ws intimated that the COM
mission. would safeguard the public
against exploitation.
The regulations issued today follow
the law closely N safeguarding the in

reimbursed for the use of their in,

will be issued only where the interest
of the public demands it, to supply q
demand not now being met. The II

to manufacture the article.

which North Dakota as we'll as other
states must assume for the period Of

A young alien German at the state
asylum is sufficiently recovered to be
sent to German for care, hut ccnd;-

other case, that of an-Austrian, who
was taken near Rugby, is expected in
the state il few days. The man
made an effort to return to his COIN
try, but was turned back at New YORK.
This man, also, will probably have to
be cared for by the state.

RAMSEY COUNTY
over THE TOP

According to the latest figures that
are obtainable Ramsey County has
again demonstrated that it has a pop
|ulation that is ever ready and willing
to give to just cause, or to help the
Government, when in the Second Lib
erty Bond drive this county over-sub-
scribed it's allotment 22O per cent.
This district was made up of three
counties and to this county comes the
credit of being the one that saved the
day. The two other counties fell be-
hind in their allotments but the over
subscription of Ramsey run up the to-
tai to the desired amount. Too much
credit cannot be given those who gave
their time to the soliciting of sui,
scriptions. Everyone worked hard
and had the weather and roads been
in a normal condition they would have
showed a larger amount of subscrip-
tion than has already been booked.
Following is list of the various
teams with their captains, and the
amount secured according to the last
complete report. Undoubtedly addi-
tional subscriptions will have been ad-
ded to some Of the following amounts
