Lockjaw and Hydrophobia
tie STATE BOARD erHEAIIn

Doctors call lockjaw tetanus. Teta
nus is caused by the entrance into the
body, through a wound which may be
a mere abrasion of the skin or a
scratch or a trifling puncture, of a
specific germ, the tetanus bacillus,
which is present in the soil of the gar
den manured with animal droppings
run in barnyards and barns. Such
wounds, especially of the hands and
feet, are particularly dangerous in the
summer time. Wounds by toy pistols,
fire crackers and other explosives are
notorious causes of lockjaw, because
minute particles of powder, cloth or
paper blown into the wound favor the
development of any lockjaw germs
which may be present.
The best preventive of lockjaw is
the immediate treatment of all minor
wounds by a doctor, If a doctor can
be reached. If not, the wound should
be imme iiately swabbed with tincture
of iod:re, or with pure carbolic acid at
once ioLowed with pure alcohol. If
these can be had. The alcohol neutral

diately applied, will prevent the burn.
ing or caustic effet Of carbolic acid
on the skin. If medical service is
available, it is safest in all such cases
to administer a single dose OF anti
tetanic serum This has been found
practically a sure preventive measura >
in thousands of cases in which it has
been promptly employed both il civil
and in military practice.
Tetanus receives the popular name
of loekjaw from the fact that one of
the earliest symptoms is stiffness or
the muscles of the throat and jaw.
The patient feels sore throat" com
ing on; he is nervous" jumpy, and
very soon 1t is noticed that he can
open his mouth only with difficulty;
after several hours general convul-
sions follow. The first symptoms Of
lockjaw may develop in from four days
to 20 days after the wound is sus-
tained the earlier the symptoms da
yelop the smaller the chance of say
ing life. Proper care of all minor in.
iuries or wounds at the outset Ia the
best insurance against this terrible
disease.

for rabies In man, is caused by bite

FIGHT AGAINST
GERMAN PAPERS
National Security League Starts
Crusade for Their Elimination,
Together With the Teach
ing of German.


man In the public schools of the coun-
try and to obtain the discontinuance
of the publication of newspapers print
ed In German has been launched by
the National Security League. To or
ganize its effort for these ends the
League has formed q Committee on
Foreign Language and Foreign Press,
which will carry the fight into every
nook and corner of the United States.
The Committee Is composed Of Col.
Charles Il. Lydecker, member of the
Board of Trustees of the College of
the City of New York and Chairman
of the National Security Leagues
Board of Directors Edward II. Clark,
Treasurer of the Security League ;
Ernest G. Brown, well known New
York editor and publisher, and DIR.
Robert M. McElroy, Educational direc-
tor of the National Security League
under leave of absence from Princeton
University, where he is head of the
Department of History and Politics.
Stop Advertising.
The principal basis of the Commit
tees campaign against German news
papers will be the obtaining of the dis
continuance of advertising in them.
Col. Lydecker's committee has laid
the following plan of campaign before
the Chairmen and Secretaries of all
the 281 branches of the Security
League:
"There is no immediate need to
have laws enacted to suppress the
foreign language dailies. In towns
where there is strong patriotic senti-
ment hostile minority should be per-
suaded by clear and forceful express
sion Of the views of the majority that
ours must be, from this time forward,
a one language nation.
"see Our Mistake"
IF community will not support a
newsdealer who handles the daily pa
pers printed in foreign tongues 1t can
thereby force him to deal only in Eng
lish language papers.
Recognizing general willingness
to be patriotic and the rapid acqui-
escence from many quarters to compel
the use of English dailies, we urge
reasonably active measures on the part
of the branches of the League. Jus
tice requires this, for the fault does
not lie wholly with the alien. We have
failed hitherto to provide the machin-
cry of education which the welding
process required. We have counte-
nanced and even encouraged the idea
of preserving linguistic and racial
groups in our midst At last we see
our mistake, and we must correct it as
speedily as justice will allow.
But we must not forget, and we
must not allow alien enemies to for
get, that this is time of war. Quick
processes of producing unity are justi
fed by the peril of those institutions
which we hold in trust for all human
ity.

ORGANIZATION TO
CHECK BOOSTING
OF FARM WAGES
PARK DAVIS PLAN
Kidder County Leader Dis
cusses Labor Situation
In The State

: A statewide organization for the
establishment Of a minimum and
maximum wage for farm labor as a
means of eliminating the present
system of "jockeying" or boosting
of wages to draw men from another
community is proposed by: Park W.
Davis, Dawson, member of the Kid
der county council of defense, who
was in Fargo Friday in search Of
men for farm labor.
THE situation in North Dakota
this fall is working a hardship on
farmers in the central and western
sections of the state, said Mr.. DAY.
|, is Here in the valley there is a
bumper crop, and the farmers can
afford to pay so, cents an hour for
men. in the central portion the
crops are smaller by half, yet farm
ers there must pay the same wages
to get men. In the western part
of the state the crops are very small
after two years of failures. and yet
the farmers must meet the wage
scale.
THE price of wheat which the far
mer raises is now fixed, yet the cost
of producing it has advanced and is
ed with ruin unless steps are taken
to check the evil.
Says S. Is Enough.
"I believe that IS a, day under
present conditions is big wage for
farm. labor when board in included,
vet the wage has been exploited I'M
i'll it is now Sc a day in some sec
tions Of the state. This is not en-
tirely the fault of the laboring men,
who cannot be blamed for taking all
they can get, but rather the fault
of the competition between the yart-
Gus sections or counties.
I'VE cannot create labor; Meth
er can we increase the supply; but
we can, by organization and uni
form wage scale that will be adhered
to, utilize what there is to the best
advantage. -s--.
Human Side of Labor.
There is the human side of the
question, and believe that there is
a sense of justice in the average
transient laborer, though 1t may be
dormant. Today I talked with two
men on the street, and asked Nthem
what they considered was a fair
wage for threshing this fall. Both
said SIS, but in the next breath ex-
planned that they were going out
for Sc a day. s.s '@i1~
'I am sure that an agreement be-
tween the farmers of the state, and
an appeal to the finer sense of the
laboring men, explaining conditions
and making them feel that they,
too, are a part of the great human
commonwealth and have a part In
the winning of the world war, will
overcome the difficulties that have
been experienced III the labor stu
alton in North Dakota this fall"
No Trouble In kidder.
Kidder county has experienced lit
tie trouble this fall. Mr.. Davis said,
and added that the county council
of defense had taken every precau-
ton to insure square deal for both
farmer and Iaboring men.
Last summer, the council listed
every farmer in the county, and
learned how much he had in and how
much he expected to pay for help.
Laborers, as they arrived, were reg
istered, and after ascertaining what
wage the laborer. expected to get, the
council was able to act as go-be-
tween with very uniform success.
