have them returned. Many subscribers
have bought the full amount of
stamps they pledged and will now, be
able to redeem their pledges. All GER
tificates offered in payment of pledg-
es are stamped at the, bank or post
office to show they have been SO used.
The War Savings committee calls
attention to the fact that pledges may
be redeemed for less money now than
later. The October price of the large
Five Dollar stamps is $4.21 but the
November price will be $4.22 and the
price $4.23. Pledges should
be redeemed as soon as possible and
by redeeming early subscribers will
not only saw money but help the
banks which are handling pledges
without any profit and will also help
the post office.
Pledges for the fifteen county dis
tricts outside the city will be listed
and distributed to the banks and post
offices where they belong as soon as
possible. When the campaign is closed
on December 81 over 100000 in War

The situation in Fargo is critical,
according to word received from there
this afternoon. There were five deaths
in Fargo, two in Moorhead and one in
Dilworth last night. Fargo city ply
sicians met this afternoon to discuss
plans for concentrating their efforts
against the epidemic. Two more
ency hospitals, and patients will be
taken there just as soon as they can
be equipped.
The epidemic is made more critical
because Of the fact that seven of the
city's limited number of physicians
and from 20 to rs per cent !of the
nurses are i'll.
Many Of the most prominent women
Of Fargo have gone into the poorer
districts of the city to assist nurses.
In many cases they are caring for en-
tire families. A number of them also
have gone to the student army train
ing corps camp at the agricultural
college to do mental work.
The number of cases in Fargo is not
showing a great increase, but there is
an increasingly greater number Of
cases in which the patients condition
is critical.
At Devils Lake there were reported
between 200 and 800 cases up to date
this afternoon. and Ramsey county,
outside that city, was said to have an
unknown, but large, number of in
huenZa cases.

Suspension notices have come from
the majority Of county districts and
rural schools will remain closed until
the danger Of the epidemic is past.
The schools throughout the county
were closed not directly because of
the prevalence Of the Spanish influ-

precautionary measure.
Following al inspection tour by
school officials, it was announced that
few cases Of influenza existed in the
country districts, and that the few
cases that Ire reported, are not in a
malignant form. The spread of the
epidemic in the country has been less
than in the city, due no doubt to the
isolated condition Of the residents.

Market Meat by Mail.

Marketing meat and meat food prod

nomically In many Instances. Many
kinds Of meat and meat food products
may be shipped at this season without
the use of an expensive container. For
some kinds Of meat an improvised con-
tainer made Of CASTOR corrugated pa
per-board boxes is satisfactory. A
market basket also is a cheap and con-
venient container for shipping meat by
parcel post.
Before meat or meat food products
can be shipped from one state to an
other, however, the shipper must fur
nish for each consignment certificate
of inspection or exemption. Upon re-
quest, information in regard to ship
ping meat and meat food products by
parcel post will be furnished by the
bureau of markets, United States de-
