NO TETANUS IS
FOUND BY A.C.
PLASTER TESTS
Report Made by North Da-
kota Laboratory Shows
Danger Ever Present

Court plaster examined at the
North Dakota public health Iabora-
tory for traces of tetanus bacilIi did
not return positive tests, according
to bnlletin issued today by the food
department.
Reports have been circulated
throughout the entire country rela-
tive to the finding OF locktaw germs
or tetanus bacilli In court plaster .
says the North Dakota report. 1T is
the supposition that court plaster
was loaded with germs by Germans
or alien sympathiEers in order to
spread epidemics. Laboratory reports
are somewhat Ineagre as some
authorities claim to have found
tetanus while others disclaim the
presence OF the germs. No tetanus
was found in the samples received in
one which gave a rather doubtful
test. In practically all instances the
court plaster had been purchased
from itinerant peddlers or Grip
pies.
Court plaster consists OF linen
cloth upon which has been spread a
thin layer of gelative solution and
then dried Gelatine unless it has
been carefully purified and sterilized
is very liable to contain tetanus.
Therefore it is not at all improbable
that the germs will be found in many
samples, particularly those manufac-
tured by indiscriminate firms. We
warn the public to buy articles of
this nature only from responsible
druggists handling reputable brands
and under no circumstances to use
court plaster and the like obtained
from itinerant peddlers."

midst of things over there now. They
have exchanged shots with the
enemy; they have been killed,
wounded and captured; have been
under the FIRE of big guns for days
and days; all to save the civilization
OF the world.
Now, more than any time since the
United States entered the war, they
need tobacco, the good, old American
variety. Their only supply is de-
pendent upon the generosity Of
friends and relatives in this coun-
try.
The answer Is easy. Contribute

quarters yesterday, Mr.. Dawson
outlined the purposes of the meeting
and of the tour of the country which
the Red Cross leaders have undertake
en-. Charge no admission, solicit no
funds, ask no new memberships"
was the first instruction contained
in the message.
Work TO be Explained.
The prime object of the Minnea-
polls meeting is to explain at hrst
hand just what the Red Cross has
done in France, Russia, Runania and
Serbia; iust what remains to be done
and how the Red Cross purposes do
ing it. t
1t is to win the approval Of these
tentative plans for future accom-
plishment, that the two biggest men
Of the Red Cross are travelling over
the country.
Not only do they want every per-
son IN the United States to know
what they are doing with the $780,
100000 entrusted to their care. but
they want suggestions from Red
Cross leaders throughout the coun-
try on the best way to improve their
plans for the reconstruction OF the
war ridden countries Of Europe.
Large Attendance Desired.
This advice cannot be gained, Mr..
Dawson explained in his message, IL
people were kept away from meet
ings during the tour by the charge
of an admission fee or the fear that
the meeting will develop into a solicit
tation plea for funds and member
ships.
It is thought vitality important,
Mr.. Dawson declared, that men and
women of every class should be at
the meeting to hear the explanations
Of the Red Cross and its work.

directed against the so-called Edge Bill,
which provides for a scientific system
