LESS COAL-MORE COLDS

When an epidemic of colds, and
grip, and influenza spread over the
country, claiming its victims by the
thousands, the Fuesl Administrator
denied that any order had been made
which prohibited the starting of heat
ing plants in Office and apartment
buildings, schools and residences. It
may be true that no express order was
issued to that effect, but the people
have been presented with daily bulle-
tins telling of the scarcity of coal and
the danger of extreme shortage next
winter, with the result that house.
holders have felt that they must suf.
fer from cold now in order not to suf-
fer from greater cold later. Owners
of office buildings in the larger cities
have made the scarcity of coal an ex-
cuse for not supplying heat when the
temperature demanded it. Whatever
may have been the origin Of the epi-
demic, it is altogether probable that
nine-tenths of its spread has been duo
to the chilly conditions of homes and
offices, and the dampness that goes
with cold rooms. There is not much
economy in saving coal bills and lay
ing doctor and hospital and under
taker bills.

is BITING THE HAND
THAT FEEDS}

This office received call MondlIk
from young man who resides in this
county, whom, at one time, we con-
sidered a very promising young man.
He is of foreign birth but has been in
this country good many years and
has prospered to a greater or less de-
gree from the fruits of his labor. He
is in military draft age, but when call
ed for examination he refused to serve
this land Of his adoption on the ground
that he was not citizen. When we
met him yesterday he was dressed in
better clothes than the writer had on
and was smoking a big cigar. Per-
haps but few have been brought face
to face with like condition, but from
experience we can say that the friend
ly feeling that we formerly entertain
ed toward this young man, has given
way toward another, which if put in
action would probably return this
young fellow to the land of his birth.
The thought of the many fine young
men who are fighting on the battle
fields of France in order that fellows
of this class may still have the op-
portunity of living in land of peace
and plenty, is not one that is accord
ing to our belief.

TAKES OVER
ROAD WORK
State Historical 6oeissy
ALL CONSTRUCTION WORK MUST
BE APPROVED BY STATE AND
FEDERAL COMMISSIONS,

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 16.-Under a
ruling recently promulgated, no street
paving or village, town, county or
state highway construction, bridge or
culvert building or allied operations
may be undertaken from this time on
without submitting plans and specifi-
cations for the approval of the state
highway commission. The state high
way board, in, turn, must submit pro-
jects which it approves to the U. S.
highway council for it's ratification.
The highway council has taken over
all matters relating to the transpor-
tation of material used in road work..
and no material for road work can be
shipped by any firm to any contrac-
tor, county board or municipal COM
mission until the proposed work and
the use of such material for that work
has been formally approved by the
federal council.
The state highway commission has
recently made application to the fed
eral council for the approval of forty
projects, including townships, county
state and federal highways. Many
towns and villages in North Dakota
are having highway work held up
pending approval of the federal coun-
Gil. State highway commission an
nounces that the quickest route to the
federal council is through the offices Of
the state highway board, which must
first pass on the applications.
All road work which is well under
way and which is likely to be COM
pleted by November 1, will not, by the
latest instructions from the federal
council, require a special permit, the
state highway commission advised to-
day.
1t is required, however, that tho
highway department make a thorough
canvass and study Of the town, coun-
ty, state and federal highway require
merits Of the state withrav view to, es-
timating the street and highway con-
struction, bridge and culvert work
which will be required in 1919. All
towns and counties are required to
plan their 1919 work in advance and
to file with the state highway COM
mission plans and specifications with
an application for a special permit for
the purchase and transportation Of
materials. It is altogether probable
that counties which fail to abide by
this provision will find later on that
no material can be allotted them. It
is the opinion of the state highway
department that construction mater
ials will be apportioned ON the basis
of permits approved, and that no re-
adjustment for the benefit of late
comers will be possible after this ap-
portionment has been made.

VIOLATES
HEALTH ORDERS
NOTICE.

Owing to the prevalence and severe
form of influenza which is rapidly in-
creasing throughout our community,
we recommend that extreme measures
of precaution.
The history of this epidemic shows
that in every ten cases Of influenza
one case develops into pneumonia, and
for every ten cases of pneumonia three
cases are fatal. ,,n
The disease is contracted by proxi-
nifty to those who have it, and can be
caused by being within ten feet of
someone who has it. BY use Of masks
made Of about ten thicknesses of
gauze one can be absolutely protect
led:
The prevalence is so alarming that
we recommend discontinuances of all
pdbfit aelferfhgs; eftirer indoors OF
outdoors, and no lodge, social, church.
school or theatre gatherings. People
should stay at home and keep away
from others whether they have the di-
sease or not.

Health.

John Baer, who misrepresents this
district in Congress, when he is not
drawing cartoons for Townley papers,
appeared in this city last evening, and
in direct violation Of the above order
::cld an open air meeting and spoke
you could call it that-to about for
women and children, and few
en-; who stood around awhile just
through curiosity. The above notice
appeared in the local Candle, and Mr..
Baer no doubt knew that he was vio-
lating an order of the city health Off
GERS when he got up on Mike Fitz-
gerald's porch in the second story of
the Sevilla to let off little of the
surplus steam. However, he seemed
quite at home as he was with his
pals, Mike Fitz, Johnnie Bloom and
"Col." Wehe, who has recently ac-
quired such an enviable reputation
along certain lines. And when it was
all over, Baer said nothing that would
really interest the average taxpayer,
but on the other hand seemed to be
bent on relieving himself Of the bile
that was on his stomach, ON account
of any and all who are opposing the
Socialist organization, which he is rep
resenting, through Town1ey. Yester-
day, the writer received a political
letter mailed at Washington, D. c.,
and signed by John Baer, congress-
man, and the same was sent out under
a government frank, and to get such
a letter at this time one would be lead
to believe that Baer was in Washing
ton attending to his official duties dur
ing this very strenuous period, but he
is not. He is now travelling over the
state making what he might call po-
litical speeches, but is delivering moth
ing but an abusive TRADE against
those who are opposed to saddling
Socialist constitution onto the people
of North Dakota. When it comes right
down to business Baer is a very good
cartoonist, and Judging from the Non
partisan Leader, both state and ma
tional, he is devoting a good share of
his time in framing up and drawing
cartoons for those two dirty sheets,
while he is filching about $1,000
year from the taxpayers Of the state
on the grounds that he is "repres-
enting" them in Congress. Really,
couldn't he be prosecuted for obtain
ing money under false pretense?

FATHER TRACY
ANSWERS CALL

The residents of this city and county
who were acquainted with the Rev.
Father James Tracy, Of Starkweather,
were shocked Monday evening on re-
ceiving the reports Of his death,
which occurred at Madison, Wis,
where he had gone to meet Father
Corey Of Langdon, one Of his closest
friends. The cause Of his death is
not known but is presumably caused
by Spanish influenza.
Father Tracy was q native Of Ire.
land, having been born at Ballinasloe
County of Galloway, and was 20 years
old. During his early life he attended
the national schools Of Ireland ant
later received a college education il
his native town. He came to the U
S.. in 1907 and entered the seminary
at st. Paul, where he studied for tht
priesthood and was ordained afte1
finishing the seminary course Of 81,

performed at Fargo at St. Nary
Cathedral.
After. his ordination. he :. was ap
tpointed assistant pastor at Jamestow,

Unnecessary intestines

The human intestine seems to be
partly a relic of prehistoric times,
largely useless IN this modern day and
age The uselessness OF the vermi-
form appendix, which is simply the
stump OF what was once an impor-
tant and functioning branch of the
alimentary canal, is well known Re
cent operations in London hospital
seem TO indicate that a large part of
the lower main canal, the colon, can
be dispensed with without harm. In
these operations sections of the colon
have been removed. The work brings
up again the famous scientist Metch-
nikoff's debated contention that these
parts of the anatomy are not only use
less but dangerous.
