Sept. At is announced that a num-
Der of British army officers will soon
be attached to the American expedi-

Americans, who will thus get the adj
vantage of the best points of both the
French and British tactics.
It is considered probable that many
of the British officers selected for this
assignment will be Americans, who
have been serving in the British or
French divisions.
American soldiers, tomorrow will
see men advance under artillery bar
rage fire for the first time. It will Of
course be only practice barrage, but
the French division training the Am

artillerymen are directing it.

OUR EXPORTS

Probably nine persons out of ten
believe the sole exports from this
country at this time consists of war
munitions only, to the great profit of
the makers thereof. However, the
government report shows thousands of
industries not at all related to the
wal are doing a thriving business in
exports regardless of +h~ d:@:o-14;oe
encountered. Poverty is reported ev-
erywhere, yet we exported $34,923,-
900 worth of fruit last year. Over a
million dollars worth of chewing gum
went to keep foreign jaws going in the
same period, as we'll as $4,000, 600
worth of typewriters. Among other
things sent out were a million and a
half dollars worth of artificial flowers
and millinery, a million dollars worth
of shoe backing, nearly two million
worth Of buttons, three and a hall
million worth of musical instruments
two million dollars worth of false
teeth and dental supplies, over a mil.
lion dollars worth of peanuts, (not in.
GLIDING LaFollette and Gronna), ovel
a million and a half dollars worth Of
printing presses, eleven million worth
of cutlery, fourteen million dollars
worth of binding Irvine, a good many
million dollars worth of Grain, cattle
etc., and a lot of other miscellaneous
stuff that some one besides the mu'
milton made money off of. It looks a:
though a good many Americans have
been making war profits.

URGES SEVEN
PER CENT LOANS
CATTLE RA|SERS
HOOVER'S MOVE FOR INCREAS-
ED MEAT SUPPLY. REPORTED
TO BANKS BY THE FEDERAL
RESERVE BOARD.

Neutrality-suspicious. c. Hoover,
Food Administrator, has enlisted the
aid of the Federal Reserve Board in a
campaign to increase the meat sup
ply Of the country. Nh. Hoover has
asked the boar to help the farmer by
suggesting that banks lend them mon
ey at not more than Z per cent inter-
est-as compared with the legal rate
of 8 per cent or more-and the board
has transmitted the request, through
the Federal Reserve Banks, to the
bankers of the districts concerned.
"The board has received a letter
from Mr.. Hoover" reads a letter from
the board Of Federal Reserve Banks,
made public today, Stating that he is
just beginning a campaign to secure
a larger amount of cattle feeding in
this country and that his investiga-
ton shows that the interest charge
represents between IS and 40 per cent
of the total costs of this industry.
"The legal rate of interest in many
Of the cattle-raising States is 8 per
cent or more, and the Food Admins
traitor suggests that if banks would
make loans to the cattle people at a
rate of interest not exceeding z per
cent, which he thinks they could af.
ford to do, in view of the S per cent
r%ediscount rate on six months paper
available at most of the Federal Re-
serve Banks, a stimulus would be CIV
en- to the cattle-raising industry which
all will agree is greatly needed at this
time.
"The board appreciates, of course
the limitations upon it's powersin this
respect, and does not wish to put any
pressure upon the banks to induce
them to charge less than legal rates,
but it is informing you of the sug-
gestion made by Mr.. Hoover, in order
that, should you deem it expedient,
you may point out to your member
banks this opportunity Of rendering
very effective help in the present food
crisis"

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. SIN dis
cussing consolidation at the national
rural conference held in st. Paul for
the eleven north central states last
week, it developed that North Dakota
heads the list, remarked N. c. Mac
donald, state superintendent of public
instruction, today.
"North Dakota, it was found" said
Mr.. Macdonald, chad the largest
growth and the largest number of
consolidated schools of any state in
the union. This is also true of stand
ardization of rural schools. But in
discussing the topic of better trained
teachers, it was rather humiliating fol
the North Dakota delegation to find
that all other north central states had
made better provisions for the train
ing Of teachers for rural schools than
has North Dakota. Our normal
schools to date have done practically
nothing when compared with states
like Minnesota, Wisconsin and ever
J South Dakota.

the WEEKLY
HEALTH Letter
STATE PUBLIC HEALTH LABORA.
TORY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
NORTH DAKOTA.

With the present knowledge of
treating diphtheria there should be no
deaths from this disease if the nature
Of the ailment is discovered soon after
the Cynical symptoms become mani
fest and antitoxin is freely used.
An impression prevails among
many people Of the state that the use
of a~ntitoxin in diphtheria often has a
depressing effect on the heart and is
consequently dangerous to the patient.
This erroneous opinion is often fos-
tered by some members of the medi-
cal profession, especially when they
have neglected or failed to use anti
toxin until the disease is far advanced.
In some few cases the physicians
have stated that the death was due to
heart failure as a result of admins
tering antitoxin. This is not true in
any case. Either the physician was
not called early enough so that the
antitoxin could be administered in the
early stages of the disease, or thru
~carelessness or neglect the physician
in attendance did not use antitoxin as
promptly as he should.
In every case of diphtheria antitoxin
should be used during the first day, if
possible. If this is done complete re-
covery can be assured in practically
every case. The longer the treatment
is postponed, the less value it has ana
the larger the dosage required.
All children exposed to diphtheria
should be given an immunizing dose
of 1000 units; for curative treatment
in light cases not involving the larynx,
if treatment is given on the first day
of the disease 5000 units will be suffi-
cient. If for any reason the treat
ment is not given until the second or
third day of the disease an initial
dose of 5000 units should be given. If
favorable results are not shown with
in eight hours, the initial dose should
be repeated. It is not uncommon to
administer from 10000 to $4,000 un
its Of antitoxjn in a severecusc' OF
d%iphtheria.
There is no evidence for the state
ment that the antitoxin depresses the
heart or is dangerous in any state &C
%diphtheria, and any medical man who
does not use antitoxin as soon as the
nature of the disease is determine |
and in all suspicious cases, is not Civ.
ing his patient proper attention. The
public should know that antitoxin IS
perfectly harmless, and that the free
use of this remedy in the early stag IS
will cure diphtheria in practically ev-
cry case.

WHAT WE'LL GET
FOR THE WAR

Every traitor and every near traitor
in the United States is enquiring
"What are we going to get out of this
WARP"
Well, among other things, We are
going to get a better grade of patriot
ism than we have been having.
We are going to put an end to build
ing up foreign colonies in the United
States as breeding places of treason.
We are going to quit making the
foreigner believe he is the only crea-
ture on earth worth while.
We are going to love every foreign
err who really becomes an American,
and all others we n going to ship
back home.
We are going to stop hiring men in
banks and public offices simply be-
cause they speak foreign languages.
In this way, we expect to encourage
the speaking of the English language.
We are going to have consultations
with the I. w. w. to ascertain wheth-
er or not they have a real grievance
or any just cause for their treasona-
BILE mouthings and threats. If they
have any just cause, we are going to
remove it; then we are going to shut
their mouths for good and all.
We are not going to let men come
come into the United States without
some kind of a bond, guaranteeing
that they r not going to engage in
burning property or in carrying on
secret work on behalf of the country
they came from.
Out Of this war, we are going to get
a new United States. We are going
to hate nobody, but we are going to
be prepared to fight whenever neces-
sary.
We are going to have the freeest
country in the world, but we are not
going to allow any traitorous high
brows to get their W standards of
freedom by which to convert freedom
into treason.
There are a good many other things
1--WE are going to get out of this war;"
When the soldier boys come home, we
are going to have 100000 of pat
riots who, having fought for the flag,
will make good citizens and thorough
patriots.
The people of the United States are
going to get more out of this war than
will be returned to any other country
in the world.-Des Moines Capital.

COAL PRICES.

Coal prices have been set by the
government. Hard coad prices have
been set at from 81 90 to $500 per
ton, yet a st. Paul coal dealer states
that there will be little difference in
the price of coal, owing to the fact
that jobbers are paying large prem
iums for coal contracts. The prices
above are set for the sales from the
mines to the jobbers and as soon as
possible the retail price will be set.
Coal dealers buy coal 2,24O pounds
to the ton and sell it at 1000 pounds
to the ton, thus they have a, profit as
it is. AS long as the government is
setting prices, both from the mines
and for the retailers, we cannot see
why dealers should be allowed to hold
up retailers for premiums for con-
tracts. The people are the ones to
stand this extra steal, and it would be
better to take a gun and hold up the
customer, but ofcourse,. not quite as
polite. The fact Of the matter is that
the people will not stand for this kind
of treatment in the future and it sh"'
be our honest endeavor to enlighten
them as to the facts in the matter OF
course, all expect to pay the retailer a
fair and legitimate profit for handling
coal and delivering it to our homes
but not more, and the government
promises to regulate this end of the
matter. The setting Of the retal
price of coal will be watched with
much interest by the public who gen.
orally are the goats in such cases.
