Crane NOW MAJOR
IN MEDICAL CORPS
President Of MinOt Normal School
Ordered to Report for Duty at
Onse-Wlil Leave Within the
Week.

President A. G. Crane of the Minot
Normal school received a telegram
today from the war department stat
ing that he had been made Major
in the Medical Corps and ordering him
to report for duty at once. He will
leave within the week for Washington
to resume his work in the Walter
Reed hospital.
Major Crane will be accompanied
to Washington by Mrs. Crane, who
has been visiting old friends in this
city for the past two weeks. Major
Crane still retains his office as presi-
dent of the Minot Normal, but the
work will be in charge of Acting Pres
ident Clarke.
Major Cranes work will be super
visor of instructors of wounded SOL
diers in the military hospitals, who
will be taught useful occupations.
Major Crane stands very high as an
educator and his many friends thru
cut the state congratulate him on his
appointment.
The appointment was actually made
on Sept. II, at which time a tele-
gram was sent to the Major in this
city, but for some reason it was unde-
livered and later returned.

tinues until Tuesday, Nov. 10Th. The
bulk of the work in each county will
fall upon the shoulders of the county
chairmen and already Attorney Coyle
has started his work. Letters, circu-
lars and literature of various kinds
will be distributed and the public
thoroly informed prior to the COM
mencement of the drive. 1t will be
necessary for Ward county to con-
tribute about 100000 in order to meet
the quota ASST gned and it is confident
ly expected that this sum will be
raised portably the very first day Of
the drive. The work which all these
organizations are doing upon the
European battlefields is so we'll known
from the letters which our soldier
boys have written back from the
front that the public recognize that
every cent contributed will be used
for the welfare and comfort of the
soldiers and it will not be hard task
to raise the amount quickly.

COUNTY CHAPTER
County Board Passes Resolution Pro-
viding for Continuous Fund to
Aid Soldiers Families.

The Ward county commissioners
passed a resolution Wednesday pro-
viding for a revolving fund amount
ing up to $500 month, if necessary,
to be paid to the Ward County Chap
ter of the Red Cross, to be used in
caring for the soldiers wives and
families who may be in reed of finan-
cial aid at any time. There are pre-
quent delays in these families receiv-
ing their allotments and without such
a fund, there is certain to be hard
ships. While the soldiers are fighting
for us in the trenches, it will be much
easier for them to know that the
families at home are being looked af-
ter we'll
The fund will be kept up to $500 at
the first of each month The Ward
County Chapter will raise as much of
this amount as possible, the county to
make up the deficiency. Those who
are advanced money will return it
when they receive their allowance.

port with the county.

square was visible from all the prin-
cipal streets of the city. Detroit be-
ing laid out with principal streets
radiating from the square, much as
the spokes of a wagon wheel radiate
from the hub. Three nights each
week the streets of Detroit are light
less and every Sunday is known as
gasless Sunday. Woe betide the un-
fortunate or thoughtless individual
who operates car on Sundays in De-
troit. The fine is invariably $25 and
this is turned over to the Red Cross.
Stacker raids are of frequent occur
renee in Detroit. The papers of that
city admonish all citizens to carry
their registration cards with them up
on all occasions. At a theatre which
she attended one night Mrs. Baker
says the doors We're locked and the
ladies were ordered to leave after
which the men were all subject to
search. Some 200 were rounded up
who were without the proper registra-
tlon cards, but of course a large per-
centage of these We're registered and
had left their cards at home.
She says the people of Detroit are
loath to have Mr. Ford enter politics
and all hope he may not succeed in
being elected. Henry Ford's benefac-
tions are many. He recently present
the government a magnificent hospi-
tai to be used for the wounded SOL
diers and sailors returning from the
war. The hospital is an enormous
structure covering three city blocks
and was turned over completely
equipped OF course Detroit is the
center of the automobile industry Of
the world and consequently every pos
sible concession is made to automobile
drivers. There seems to be no speed
limits and every day dozens of SER
tions several narrow escapes she had
while motoring about The city.

are turning out one submarine chaser
every twelve hours. They call them
Eagles" At this plant a canal has
been dredged right up to the plant
from the river and behind the plant
is a mammoth reservoir in which the
Eagles are tested. She says the

Due to Epidemic of Spanish Influenza,
State Board of Health Orders
Schools Closed in All Commune
ties Where Outbreak Occurs.

DR.. Harry G. Knapp, city health Of
ficer, ordered the Minot schools closed
today on account of the Spanish in
fluenza. He received the following
letter from C. J. McGurren, secretary
of the state board of health, and

DR.. Harry G. Knapp,
Minot, N. d.
Dear Doctor:
In order to control as fas as posi-
BILE the spread of epidemic Influenza,
you are requested, in case of a local
outbreak of this disease, to discon-
tinue all public meetings, close all
schools and places Of public amuse-
ment.
This is not only Board of Health
measure, but it is the substance of a
telegram received today from Sur
geon- General Blue, Washington, and
is therefore war measure.
The disease is also made reportable:
1t is made obligatory that the local
Health Officer keep this office in
formed of all cases occurring in his
territory. This should be done by
phone promptly as the cases occur, in
addition to having same included in
the regular monthly reports.
Yours very truly,
C. J. McGURREN,

In connection with this letter Df.
Knapp makes the following state
ment:
The above communication coming
from the State Health Officer, is
copv of Federal order and means
the closing of the public schools un-
til further notice. While the epidemic
of influenza is being held in check
quite satisfactorily under present
methods, it seems wise to follow this
order of the War department., recelV-
ed from the State Health Department.
Hoping that the health measures as
pursued will be to the best interests
of the community and prevent the
serious situation that has developed IN
othr eioteurn2SeiIvSdiseasfi,k *
other communities, ! am, respectfully,
There are approximately hundred
cases of the influenza in Mlnot. Infee
of the cases have been fatal. There
are some cases in the country.
The theatres, churches, schools, ana
in fact all public places where meet
ings have been held, are closed tor the
present.
The schools of Fargo, Grand Forks,
and many other cities of the state
have been closed. Two thousand
cases are reported at Fargo. A good
many deaths have occurred about the
state.
People who become ill with the cpl
demic are warned to take good care
of themselves. Thre is little that
medicine can 90 unless pneumonia
develops, Develops but a good doctor should be be
secured at the outset; There are ESQ so
many complications that at, may ap,Se
Pneumonia is apt to set in and in that
case, it frequently proves fatal ID
Doctors say that patients sfoula
remain cheerful. When the chllls hills ana ,,a
fever attack you, 60 to bed, cover up
and stay there. If your nose runs
like like sap from maple tree, cover; cover up i ?
and let it run. Keep your broncnlal
tubes open and don't ,[a use opiadeIl pp;1d laxo 10
