Edwin ]. Simons. formerly a stu-
dent Of the University of North. Dako-

torial staff, who is now serving with
the United States navy, somewhere
on the Atlantic has written an in
teresting letter to his former CO.
workers here. Mr.. Simons was a
and departed with that unit last May.
His letter in part:
A Great Life.
This Is a great life fellows and I
wish o were here to enjoy 1t. AS
l sit here on the topside writing I on
ly need to raise my eyes and out
oceanward where the water runs q
greenish blue, I can see battleships,
dreadnaughts, cruisers, destroyers and
torpedo boats, with all their imple-
ments of war. 1t Is a great sight and
a wonderful experience.
"As we ended a seven-day cruise
we skirted the shore Of q bay In an
attempt to make accurate Jul anchor
age berths 1t was a high sandy shore
line dotted in the background with
an occasional village. yet given n
without warning we rounded a point
on the shore and there before us lay
a whole city Of tents-a city alive
with men in uniform, we looked
again, this time more closely and
could see an aeroplane lowering over
some of the boats in the bay. Then
u eyes were attracted by a small
craft skimming along on the water,
now disappearing and once again re-
appearing on the surface. Yes it was
n of the unseen war reptiles.
There grouped before US were rep
resentatives Of the forces Of the land,
hes sea, the deep sea and the air. 1t
was great.
But enough of that. I have often
wished that you fellows could be here
n live some of my experiences.
There are experiences that would
make regulations for men of your
writing ability. -.
Talk about the times though. we
sure are playing the war game strong.
We had some trouble with ONE of
them 'er subs and all bravado disap-.
peared. No. boys. l am not brave
when it comes to interrupting tor
pedoes. For six days we saw nothing
but the deep blue. Oh boy! no land
lubber could appreciate what the old
terra firma really On thu trip
we lost. two men, both of them falling
overheard and going to old Davy
Jones' locker"
Although censorship has sobliterat-
ed all postmarks and information as
to the whereabouts Of the ship on
which Simons Is stationed. 1t Is be-
lieved- hat he Is now somewhere In
the English channel. He Is stationed
on the Battleship Kansas, n Of the

ton Campaign Has
Brought big Results.
INFANT MORTALITY
One out Of Every -Four Ba-
! bies Died in 1908 in the
City Of Grand Forks.

1.-THE city Of Grand Forks is fairly
clean at present but Ye cannot aban-
don our vigilance and must do even
more at once to prevent infant NOR
tally from increasing" said Mrs. r.
A. Sprague, food Inspector, today.
In 1905 one out of every four babies
born in the city of Grand Forks died
before It was a year and q half old.
That was the year before food inspec-
ton was adopted in Grand Forks.
the municipal abattoir had not been
constructed, no incinerator was in OPP
garbage collection had been outlined.
In that year 223 babies were born
in this city and Of this number ,61
died.
During the past year has brought
q fair example of the results of care
full food inspection. Since July l,
1917, there were $50 births in this city
and only IA deaths, or practically n
out Of every twenty-eight children
tsuccumbed before%reaching the age
Of n year and a half, or during the
milk fed period.

Mrs. Sprague urges every business
mar to wash the sidewalks every

Not only are.the streets In need OF
attention but more careful attention
should be given to garbage cans, back
