HEALTH CAR
TO TOUR STATE
Sanitary Survey to be Made
of One City In North
Dakota

Cooperation more extensive than
local health officials have heretofore
dared hope for will be the keynote as
relates to the United States public
health exhibition car which win tour
North Dakota in the interests Of
preventive medicine.
The federal health service will see
that drinking water is placed on in
ter state trains only at points where
the public health Laboratories vouch
for a safe and disease germ free sup
ply. According to DR.. John w. Cox,
Of the state public health laboratory
at the University, as soon as ten
towns and cities in North Dakota
have made known to the public
health laboratories that they are con-
templating a city water supply or a
sewage disposal plant, federal sani-
tary engineer will be detailed to visit
each locality and advise as to the
best way to proceed.
DR.. Cox, who recently returned
from a conference of the United
States public health officials and rep
resentatives OF health service from
each state, held at Washington,
d. c., stated that complete sanitary
survey will be made of one city in
North Dakota. which 1t is thought
will be Bismarck because of recent
reports as to the water conditions
there.

PURITY PROD

Conditions

, WAS THREATENED
Attorney General LANCER
Speaks at Purity Con-
Vention

The Minot raid was held as an ex-
ample of what public officials can do
in blocking vice by Attorney General
William LANCER, speaking before the
Purity federation convention, at the
First Methodist church Tuesday even
ing.
Criticised for holding up telephone
service in that city SO minutes while
the raid was in progress, the attorney
general stated that "in this case some
people would cause. the arrest of an
officer of law because he took the only
possible step in which he could sue
cessfully arrest the violators.
Says He Was Justified.
II firmly believe that the laws of
matter" he said. IF a state law
officer can stop a train for the pur-
pose of searching it for criminals and
remove such from the trains IL found,
l think we have a right to use any
other agency in the enforcement of
law If needed.
Attorney General LANCER stated
that there must be something wrong
with some of the ministers Of the
state for writing and censuring him
for taking charge of the Minot tele-
phone exchange. He stated that
he did not believe North Dakota
has yet reached the stage when
property rights go before human
rights. He told of liquor being sold
in the houses of prostitution at Minot
in open defiance of the law and that
there was a block which was known
as the segregated district for blacks.
He said this area contained nothing
but brothels from which negroes went
out over town and solicited men and
boys from Is years up. He said their
operations reached clear to the state
normal school until conditions there
were disgraceful.
Striking Comparison.
He called attention to the fact that
one million dollars is being spent by
North Dakotans for liquor in a month,
but that during the past year only
$4,000 was raised for the support of
the Law Enforcement league.
DR.. F. H. Essert, national lecturer
Of the worlds purity federation was
the next speaker of the evening, TAX
ing the place of Mrs. Barrett, who was
recalled to Washington by the secre-
tary of war to attend conference of
the national defense league which is
to be addressed by President Wilson
this week in regard to vice conditions
which are reported to be Furnishings
in the army camps.

ance under the new contract in The
Undying Flame,
Nine. Petrova's first picture is a
startling combination of the ancient
and the modern-a story of Egypt and
the Sphinxes, with all the alluring
witching mystery of that fascinating
country in present day times as well
as centuries ago when Father Nile
swept on his way across the desert
but through a land as yet untraversed
by the steam train or the automobile
and undisturbed by the whistles of
factories and the honking of motors.
Then one finds the scenes shifting
back to modern Egypt and sees the
automobiles. steam boats, telephones
and other conveniences of today look
ing somehow oddly out OF place in
that land OF mystery and enchant-
ment. But the skilful handling OF the
transition is so carefully effected that
this only enhances the contrast and
makes the whole more perfect, lead
ing up as 1t does, to the final reunion
and happiness of the lovers, separat-
ed by circumstances through SO many
centuries.
Nine. Petrova in this fascinating
picture will appear at the Garrick
theater today and tomorrow.

IMMIGRATION
| BOOSTERS MEET
Meeting at Bismarck Today
and at Minot On
Thursday

Realizing that this is North Da-
kota's psychological year to launch a
state movement for more people on the
farms, representative farmers of the
southern part of the state are meeting
at Bismarck this afternoon to devise
plans which will be laid before the
meeting for the northern half of the
state to be held at Minot Thursday
afternoon.
AS the result Of statewide immi-
grafton movement in Montana several
years ago, 10000 moved to the golden
state to make their permanent home,
during the two years beginning Jan 1,
1914.
Should the North Dakota immigra-
ton movement be launched properly
and enthusiasm retained for a period
of ten years, it is estimated that the
population Of this state can be dou-
bled, despite war conditions.

from the Florida alligator farm at
Jacksonville. Fla.
Babies Health Contest.
The baby alligators, however, will
not be the only babies on the grounds
by any means. The babies health con-
test of the 1916 fair proved so popu-
lar and created such widespread in
terest that the board determined this
year to enlarge its scope and make
even a bigger and better contest.

attendance and every consideration
given the comfort and care of the
babies entered in the contest. Entry

children are deficient and the resulting
in the care Of these
children will improve the coming
citizens of our great state. The judges
will not give advice or treatment, but

Colonel Ellison has injected into
camp life a certain class distinction

camps the care of the garbage is a
regular ceremonial. Waste material
is divided into classes. and a special
receptacle is provided for each class.
There is a al for bones, one for rope

paper, one for fats and tallow, n
for bottles, one for tin cans, another
for sweepings and pieces of tobacco,
and still another for garbage.
Practically all of the refuse is sold.
Cans, bottles. bones, fats, paper and
rags have a ready market, and the
garbage proper is carried away for a
banquet. The worthless refuse
is burned in order to adhere to the
strict sanitary regulations of the
