DO NOT DELAY

Were the means at hand for curing
and preventing Diphtheria used as ex-
tensively and as early as they should
be, there would be practically no
deaths from the disease NOWADAYS.
1t is not so very long ago when the
very thought of Diphtheria was
enough 10 drive cold chills I'D and
down the spine of every parent. Now
it is a controllabie disease. But it is
not as yet entirely controlled.
AntitoXin has been the agency which
has reduced the number of deaths by
one-half. That it hasn't almost COM
pletely wiped out the disease as a
cause of death, isn't the fault of the
antitoxin. Instead. the fault lies. in
practically every instance, with some
body's da'tying in the handling of the
case. Ii the parent delays calling a
competent physician and the physi-
clan delays diagnosis and hesitates for
one reason or another about giving
treatment, the disease may have pro-
crossed so far as to make cure i'm
possible or unlikely.

SCARLET FEVER

AS Wausau is having considerable
scarlet fever, which has developed rap
idly the past two weeks, it will be we'll
to listen to what the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis association has to say on
this question in the way of advice:
Children with scarlet fever should
be excluded from school for a mini
mum period of AZ days
Other children from the same home
should also be excluded unless re-
moved from the home. In case of
change of residence they should be
excluded from school for ten days. If
there have been no symptoms of the
disease and if the children do not re-
turn to the infected home they may
then be readmitted.
There is great variation in the type
of the disease, and many mild cases
are not recognized and are frequently
responsible for starting severe cpl
denies.
The peeling may last from six to

The strongest recommendation any

"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
been used in my family off and on for

WILL WOMEN SMOKE?

Many social changes will follow this
war, everyone admits. Daily life and
social manners of Europe are being
upset. The new practices and Gus
toms following incidentally from the
war will spread over here.
A dispatch from London says that
cigarette smoking has become so uni
versal among women war workers that
the London suburban railways are es-
tablishing women's smoking compart-
ments on certain trains. Does that
mean that smoking by women will
soon become general here?
j. Adam Puffer says that if men
smoke, women should.
Among the higher-ups of this coun-
try smoking by women is a some
what established custom. You can't
argue it out that it is any worse fol
women than for men. But somehow
it seems repugnant to the great ma.
jority of our middle-class women.
The attitude of men on such mat.
tiers is wholly illogical. They are con.
stantly condemning women for doing
the things they do themselves. A
great many of the men smokers woulc
be bit shocked to see their wives
and daughters lighting up. But wo
man is law unto herself, and if she
sees fit to smoke up, she will, anc
there's an end ont.

Wilson to the utmost in bringing the
war to successful termination"
If our entrance into this war is to
bring an end to war for all time, then
let us go into it with the same spirit
which has won for America every
other war in which she has partici-
pated This is not war on the Ger
man people, who as people are
among the very finest in the world,
but it is war on German militarism,
the system which interferes with the
rights of the people to live their lives
in the way that God intended they
should. This is not to be war of hate
or conquest. The welfare of our coun-
try is more sacred to US than our very
lives and to guard our internal peace
is our greatest duty.

public spirited citizens. And still

public spirited citizens. And still
there are undoubtedly people like Mr..
Murray, who are laboring under a
false impression and who fear to rear
their families in such an environment
as we afford. If Mr.. Murray would
only stop to consider that the popula-
ton Of Minot has grown from 1900 in
1902 to $4,000 in 1917, he must realize
that all of these folks did not come
here to commit depredations. The In
dependent hereby cordially extends an
invitation to Mr.. Murray to visit Mi
not at his earliest convenience. The
editor will be glad to show him about
the city and if he fears that his life
is in danger, we'll venture to assert
that body guard of say dozen or
fifteen of Minot's ministers might be
secured to protect him from the bands
Of cut-throats, thieves and rough
necks who are supposed to infest our
city.
And Mr.. Golfer, by the way, has no
intention of moving away from Minot.
He's a large property owner and is
building more houses all the time as
an investment and speculation.
