The Cavalier County Republican:

The Cavalier County Republican:
The resignation of Secretary McAdoo
seems to have proven a general surprise and
deal of speculation has been indulged in as
to the cause of this unexpected move by
President Wilson's son-in-law and cabinet
member.
Mr.. McAdoo says that he can not afford
to longer hold down the job, as the salary
is not sufficient
Since the resignation was published and
more inside information as to it's cause re-
ceived, it appears that Mr.. McAdoo was not
in harmony with the president and members
of the cabinet on the Government Owner
ship" proposition. He vigorously opposed the
policy Of the administration in taking over
the cable lines and other industries when the
war Is virtually ended and this official action
is claimed to be the real cause of the resigna-
tion.
1t would seem that by, this time Mr. Nc
Adoo as director general of all railroads and
scores of other matters can readily under
stand and appreciate the troubles ahead if
these institutions are held under the govern
ment ownership plan. He is reported as be-
ing unaualifiedly opposed to the whole pro-
gram after the war is over
The country at large and the officials are just
beginning to total the cost and the fig
ures are astounding. The present system Of
handling matters Is so tremendously expensive
that it is easily seen that this nation is riding
fast toward a financial catastrophe unless
something is done to set the brakes and stop
the operations Of bureaucrats.

The Valley City Times Record:

The Valley City Times Record:
petition is being circulated around Bis
marck to have Governor Frazier secure jobs
for ali the North Dakota soldier boys at
Bismarck. No doubt our governor would like
to do this but seeing that there are approx
mately $4,000 soldiers from this state it seems
a hard task to provide jobs for that many
around the capitol building. But small
thing like that can be overcome. If the
coming legislature can pass laws to make
class legislation against the legitimate news
papers of the state, which is the intention
Of the league leaders at the coming session,
1t can pass a law creating jobs for these men
at the capital 1t would boost the population
OF Bismarck and that would help some. TAX
ing the matter more seriously we believe that
each county will be we'll able to handle this
question. Most Of the boys who have gone to
war come from the farms and those that re-
turn will again take UP their work on the
farms while those who have left the cities
and villages will no doubt find their old jobs
awaiting them. This question of providing
employment for the returning soldiers will
be adjusted without much trouble. There will
be few cases in every community, perhaps.
where the soldier boy will not be given his
job back, but these will be few, and even If
this Is so there are plenty Of openings for all.
At the present time help is scarce in all lines
and we cannot see why the matter should re-
quire much figuring out as the industrial
needs of the whole country will need these
boys just as before they left for war. How
ever we believe that every soldier boy who
went to war should be given his old position
back

cATARRH.

whats the touble. young nnan?"
It's the climate. guess, doctor,
it's given me bad case Of catarrh.
Given you what?"
why, Catarrh. doctor, chronic
catarrll!"
well, young man, 1 didn't know
there was such a disease. Describe
1T for me, will you?'
The young man looked at the doc
tor in some dismay-but the doctor
had every right to ask the question
he did, for catarrh has come to be a
fine bit OF camoudage.
1t is not a disease. It is only a
symptoms Of infection or sometimes
but much more rarely, membrane
irritation.
It may be the result of infection
Of the lining membrance of either
the head, chest, stomach or intes-
tines. &c.,. tl...
The reason it is called catarrhal
is because the discharge is Of a.
glary nucus which arises from the
over activity of certain cells in the
lining membranes Of all these
tracts.
The causes for this over activity
are not essentially different from
the causes Of a cold, although in the
latter instance the infection is usual
ly more severe.
In a case of infection of the lining
memhrance of the nose, If the invad-
ing germs are sufficiently viruIent
we have a head cold" with all its
attendant evils. Should the infec-
ton be milder-so mild often that
we do not realize we have been in
fected-a mucus discharge will ap-
pear and is apt to be persistent.
Most people so afflicted say they
have "catarrh." r a,-.
In case. of bronchitis the dis
charge may be of three general
types. First, a discharge that is
quite watery; second, one that is al
most entirely mi1cus, and third, a
purulent type which is usually of a
yellowish or greenish hue. The
presence of the mucus, either the
glary white or the more purulent
certain cells Of the lining membrane
OF the bronchial tubes or what is
Sometimes termed bronchial catarrh.
Also in the lining Of the stomach
there are certain cells which produce
mucus which in slight amount may
be normal, But when, for any rea-
son, there is irritation OF the stom-
ach lining 1t may cause these cells
to produce an undue amount OF
mucus and then results a condition,
commonly called gastric catarrh.
Symptoms OF Pregnancy.
Puzzled Reader: Cessation of
menstruation. morning sickness, fre-
quency of urination and change in
the breasts are some of the early
signs of pregnancy. A pregnant
woman should quite early consult
the physician who is to care for her.
He should give her necessary hy-
gienic directions and watch her
throughout pregnancy. "
Sores in Mouth.
Mrs. G. M. B.: I cannot say def
nitely that the sores in your mouth
and on your face are not syphilitic,
but since they are noticed, especially
at your menstrual period, do not
think it likely that they are. You
could secure the most definite and
authoritative diagnosis by consult
ing physician who specializes in
diseases of the skin.
Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
M. e. S.: In view Of the serious
nature of pulmonary tuberculosis I
feel sure that you will find some
way to arrange for a stay OF some
months (probably six .months) at

KILL THE SMUT

It does not take much smut to re-
duce the crop two or three bushels per
acre. This loss can be cut out by
soaking the seed grain ten minutes in
a solution Of 16 ounces Of 40 percent
formaldehyde to 40 gallons of water.
This will kill the smut that does the
most damage on wheat, oats and bar
ley. The loose smut on wheat and
barley can be killed by soaking seven
to ten hours in coldwater, draining
one hour and immersing 10 minutes
in water 1872 to 1873 degrees F. for
wheat and $50 to 131 degrees F., for
barley. Prof. Bolley Of the Agricul-
tural College, Moth Dakota, found in
his experiments that the Tornado
hyde treatment increased the wheat
yield one to two bushels per acre ever
when there was no smut.

No one can fortell at what time
North Dakota will be called upon to
share her coal reserve with Minnesota
and Wisconsin, South Dakota and 9TH

situated. Already the Twin Cities are

as a probable source Of future coal

which are periodically straining every
energy not only to turn ou:. soal suf-
ficient for the immediate needs of the
state but to accumulate a good sur
