How To Use Face Mask To Make
It Most Effective.

The face masks furnished by
Bottineau County Red Cross and
distributed thru it's branches
loose half Of their efficiency if not
properly used. While the use of
loud-smelling anti-septic has
been recommended as a disin-
fectant, they are not equal to
the boiling process, which is the
method used in all operating
rooms. If the mask is boiled for
ten minutes all germs will be
~effectually destroyed. The mask
then should be squeezed as dry
as possible with clean hands and
placed in a new paper sack and
placed in the pocket ready for
use. Use a new sack after every
boiling so that any possible in
lection of the mask will not be
carried from one sack to the
other. This method will do
away with the disagreeable odor
and increase it's efficiency.
Symptoms Of Influenza.

ease, with a cold in the head,
pains over the body, fever, and
other uncomfortable symptoms.

chilly sensation with fever Of
from 1O2 to 104, severe general
lied pains causing prostration,
intense headache and backache,
cough is first dry, then with
thick greenish yellow muco pur-
ulent expectoration, profuse per-
spiration.
In the castro intestinal form,
there is nausea, vomiting, di-
arrhoea and colicky pains, &C
companying the prostration.
The nervous form must be
diagnosed from inflammation of
the coverings of the brain. The
continued fever form must be
diagnosed from typhoid fever.

of the character indicated at
once should consult a physician
and follow explicitly the treat
ment prescribed.

A OF MARVIN OLSON

One Of the saddest events that
eyer happened in Eidsvold town
ship was the sudden and unex-
pected death of Marvin Olson,
the second eldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hans Olson.
Marvin Olson was bor1i in OF
ter Tail county, MINI. near Fer
gus Falls on September 2, 1892
and was at the time Of his death
26 years, / month and II days
old. Death was due indirectly to
Spanish Influenza, which after
wards developed into pneumonia
and caused his death on Sunday,
Oct. 20, 1918.
He came with his parents to
North Dakota in the spring OF
1908. He has made his home
here ever since that time.
Marvin was a young man OF q
happy and genial disposition. He
counted his friends by the score.
He was a natural born leader
among the young people OF his
township and was always ready
and willing to do his share in the
betterment and uplift Of his COM
munity. The sudden death OF
this popular young man was g
big loss to everyone that knew
him. HeJwas q true friend TO
his friends, an obedient son to
his parents and q loving brother.
The writer knows that the
family and friends Of this young
n1anwiu find it hard to berecon-
|ciled % their loss. But at the
|sa1lo time IL has left = world O.

NEWPORT BOY
 HURT IN ACTION

Mrs. J. F. Hoofman, who resides on Second street, has received letter from her nephew, James 0. (Buddy) Holt, in which he stated he had been been wounded twice since arriving in France. He stated in his letter which was written last month that he was in Red Cross hospital where everything was being done for his well being. He said his wounds are not serious, though he did not describe them. He did not write any particu- lars, except that he was fighting at Chateau Thierry when wounded.
 Buddy Holt was a member of Com- pany E, and that his wounds have not proved serious will be a source of sat- isfaction to his many friends in New port, where he resided until he en- listed.

ETTER FROM EARL MACK.

H. E. L. McCollom has received the following letter from Earl Mack, who is at Vancouver, Wash.:
 Vancouver Cantonment, Wash,
 August IS, 1918. Dear MT. McCollum:
 Maybe you are wondering how the boys from Newport are getting along in the Spruce Production Division, Aviation Section of Signal corps. We were only a little more than five days on the road, reaching here Friday August End in the afternoon. The way we were routed out here the scenery was great. From here we can see Mt. Hood about one hundred miles to the east, which is now cov- cred with snow and can be seen very distinctly. One being here can scarcely realize that it is so warm there for the temperature seldom goes above sixty degrees and the nights are real cool. It has rained daily since we have been here, though it seldom rains hard
 Some of the boys from NeWpoft are already in spruce camps several miles from here It seems they are all anxious to get to the woods. | If one comes here without an ap- petite he will soon have one if he lstays for the air is certainly invig- orating.
 i I guess there are boys here from every state II the United States, and all seem contented. I would be glad to hear from any one caring to write.

 British troops along the extreme northern sectors of the battle line in Picardy and Artois are advancing at comparatively rapid rate, and are reported to have reached the village of Henin, five miles southeast of Ar ras, and are closing in on Bapaume, the reputed keystone to German po- sitions between Arras and the Somme river. They have also reached the outskirts of St. Leger and are reported to have captured the town of Bray.
 The Germans are fighting desper- ately to save Bapaume, and the bat tie is raging furiously in the vicinity of Bihucourt and Sapinges.
 South of the Somme river, and be- tween the Disc and Aisne rivers, ar tillery duels are reported. French patrols are operating in Lorraine and have penetrated German trenches at many points, between the Aisne and Ailette rvieys. North of Soissons the French are pressing close to the heights dominating Chemin-des- Danes.
 Fires are reported to be raging this afternoon behind the German positions north of the Vesle, and it IS believed the enemy is preparing to retire.

OF HOLY DAY DURING RESTRICTIONS

mated by the Holy Spirit Another one
of, the apostles has given us much
clear teaching Of what being III the
Spirit signifies Read Rom. s:1-17:
'fFor tho mind Of the flesh is death;
but the mind Of the Spirit is life and
peace. Ye are not in the flesh but in
the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of
God dwelIeth in YOU"
often the truest test Of our religion
-oomes in the unusual, when we are
not so much under the infleunce Of
habits or controlled by the ,conven-
tional Then it is, that our true Faith
manifests itself. 1t is under just such
circumstances as John was then liv-
ing and in which the world is living
today that the pretence, the hypro-
crisy, the leyen OF the Pharisees is
stript from mems shoulders and they
are made manifest. Johns Lords Day
in Patmos had no outward cause but
It was day spent I'm the Spirit" be-
cause 1t was as natural for him to live
in that high, pure atmosphere as it
was for him to breathe the air In
which his body moved about. No
church bell called him to the assem-
bIy. No table of the Lord was spread
where he could sit with his brethren
in silent communion and remem-
brance of the body and blood of his
Lord. 1t was his privilege to spend
his time as he pleased. Perhaps it is
to be regretted that we do not know
more of his Opportunities to have
spent the day in selfish, physical
pleasures and sports or in the more
serious cares of business that we
might more aptly parallel our text
with our modern life. / am certain
that we can be sure of this, however,
that if John had spent the day as so
many Christians of today spend
theirs, we would not have it written
of him: I was in the Spirit on the
Lords Day" The world now knows
the great benefit that came through
Johns being in exile. While the apos-
tie put his heart and mind in tune
with God that holy day, God gave un-
to him the great visions of the future
for our announcement and persevsr-
ence. We ought to learn great les
