WILL ASK STATE TO SPEND
AS MUCH TO SAVE BABIES

lFSllS tnal thc state spend at
l"aS! as much to- save babies as
1t does to help hogs, horses cat
tie ANA other live stock, the North
Dakota Anti-Tubcrculosis assori-
alton introduces through Rep. +.
w. keitzman of Lakota, chair
man of the house committee ON
PUBLIC health. a bill appropriate
ing $4,000 for the ensuing bien-
NAL period for the expense of The
state board of health and for The
employment of full time Sec
rotary.
Mrs. J. f. Stevens of Lawton
field organizer ofthcAn:l-Tubc1-
rulosis association. has been at
The capitol the last ten days work
ing for this measure, to which
many members in both houses nj
ready are committed. The state
now spends about $4,000 { r a

health of live stock. Mrs. Stevens

n:Lm is appropriated for tn. en-.

Would Save Lives
mo proof is required to con-
vince any reasoning person that
an adequately financed health
board does save human lives
said Mrs. Stevens today. '.Six
years ago. when the infantilc par
aIysi> epidemic swept over North
Dakota we lost six little ones in
l.aWt"m alone. Most of thesa
deaths could have been prevented
lr proper precautions. which a
health board. with sufficient
means i'm its cOutrul. could have
demanded"
Would Save Money
Mrs. stevens plan also would

save the state money through the
manufacture of toxins in the pub
lie health laboratories at Bismarck
Minot, Fargo, Grand Forks and
elsewhere. Many of these tox-
ms are so expensive that they
cannot now be used as freely as
desirable. Their use must large
ly be confined to cure rather than
prevention. Mrs. Stevens be-
lieves that the viruses and tox-
ms demanded would cost but one
third the present price if the
health laboratories were equip
ed to produce them.
Addresses Leaguers
The field organizer for the
State Anti-Tuberculosis associa-
ton last evening addressed the
Non-Partisan league caucus at
the Northwest hotel on the White
Plague. She told of the ter
rible ravages of this preventabIe
disease in the state, and of the
great economic S we'll as social
loss which the state is sutain-
ing through it failure to properly
combat the spread of the disease.
She advocated segregation, and
that incurables be treated by their
own counties instead of being
committed to the sanitarium at
Dunseith, where they cannot be
benefited and where their pre-
sence serves only to depress the
durable patients and retard their
progress toward health.
She estimated that in North Da-
kota there are 5000 cases of
tuberculosis today and. that of
these 5O7 will die during the year.
Taking Irving Fishers basis of
$4,000 as the value to the state
of human life, the loss to North
Dakota from this one source in
1917 will be Si.52i 900 and in
asnluch as the average duration
of the disease is 1 l-2 years the
loss in profitable time will equal
go years.
Worse Than Smallpox
eve get panicky'' said Mrs.
Stevens ''over a half-dozen eases
of smallpox, or dozen cases of
infantile pralysis. We, quaran-
tine for scarlet fever, diphtheria,
measles and typhoid fever, but the

SOCIETY NATIONS
MAY Be OUTCOME
EVENTUAL PEACE

Paris, Nov. 3.-"Will the proposed
Society of Nations come out of an
eventual peace, or will peace come
out of the organization Of society
of nations % asks Jean Finot, who ex-
anines in La Revue, of which he IS
editor, the possibility of bringing the
nations of the earth together in
happy family.
1.-The principle of the society of ma
TONS" he says, requires equality OF
representation among the particip-
ants. Neutrals as well as bellige-
ents must be invited, the seallest
countries must have an equH volcc
with the biggest, such as Great Brit
ain, the United States, France, Italy
and Germany.

not asserts, will procure at least q
dozen new units in the list of ma
TONS" Those countries that have
not existed under regime of free
dom will require several years to be-
come conscious of themselves. Party
struggles and Numerically opposite
tendencies are rife even now in some
of those countries and in unusually
violent FORM"
He points to the proposed Ukran-
ian nation as a sample of what diff
ficulties the newly formed states may
bring to such a concert of nations. In
curing who may be able to say what
,, the proper limits of an Ukranian ma
ton should be. "Tumultuous disor-
der" he says, is what more than one
such nation would bring into the So
ciety.
''Is it not necessary to take into
account Germany's habitual meth

may pretend to modify her mentality
or her morality from one day to an
other it must be admitted that sh.
would work inside the fold of the So
ciety of nations as she has done be-
fore and during the war. The coar
ition of the Central Empires, fortified
by representatives Of other small OF
largo states might easily compromise
the essential projects of the future
conference" M. Finot cites in this
connection the recent case in which

New York Cotton.

New York, Nov. 5.-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline
of 10 to % points under scattering
liquidation promoted by good picking
weather in the south and prospects
for its continuance over the holiday
tomorrow. There was buying by Liv-
erpool and spot house brokers at the
decline, however, and after selling
at 27.10 December rallied to 27.22.
while January worked up from 1888

The early bulge carried December
up to 27.35, or points net higher,
but was checked at 1856 for January,

figures. The market later was quiet,
but rather unsettled, owing to the
weakness of the stock market and

of which came from New Orleans.

Germany.
M. Finot asks whether it is nos
doubtful that even the socialists are
ready for what he calls "the divine
kingdom" and cites the Dutch Socia-
nst leader Troelstra, as saying that
ga method of peace that would, by
force, oblige all powers leagued to-
gether to fight the one that might
break the peace would be equivalent
to driving out the devil of national
militarism by the Beelzebub of In
ternational militarism ?"
The question, NJ. Finot says, with
the support of the United States and
the Allies becomes living ISSUE
He declares there is no use of think
ing of the juridic organization of the
Society of Nations so long as Ger
man militarism and imperialism re-
main erect and concludes by calling
upon President Wilson who, he adds
passes at the present moment as the
accepted champion of the Society of
Nations, to make declaration that q
peace that would not be the fruit OF
a victory, permitting the previous or.
ganization of the world, would rem
der sterile all efforts tending to-
ward the creation of league of hon

Sharp Advance In Corn.

in the corn market today resulted
from government announcements vir-

contended that snch minimum meant
$1.2O q bushel for corn fed on the
farm, and therefore meant q much
higher level than has recently been
paid for future deliveries at termi-
nal markets. The action of the gov
eminent regarding hog values led
traders to ignore fresh weakness in
Wall street. Opening quotations,
which ranged from the sameas Sat-
