LAKE COUNTY COMMUNITY AND
SCHOOL NURSE ASSO-
CITATION.

A great many people are asking
what they may expect of the Red
Cross nurse in the case of the influ-
enza cases. In this, as in all other
sickness, the nurse is the doctors as
sistant. Any work of nursing. pre-
vent'on, ETC., that the nurse can do
to help control the spread of this dis
ease is a part of the Red Cross
nurses work. Any doctor or citizen
that wants this assistance should feel
free to call upon the nurse.
Particularly are the teachers in the
rural schools who have problems
they can't solve, to call the nurse for
help. We will gladly investigate any
suspected contagion that is not un.
der the care of a doctor and if need.
ed, secure the proper medical ant
nursing care.
The nursing service is free to ev
eryone in the county. On account o
limited time only short calls could b,
made, but the nurs will call and d,
any nursing work the patients o
doctors may wish. This should appl
particularly to families not able I
secure the proper help in case o
sickness. The nurse will also atten
any meeting where she is wanted an,
discuss health subjects.

MINNESOTA
FOREST fires

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. IA large
section of northeastern Minnesota
three days ago a busy and prosperous
business and farming country-today
was a smoldering ruin with hundreds
of bodies of men, women and chill
dren, many of them burned beyond
recognition, strewn about the coun-
tryside as the result of the disastrous
forest fires which swept this terri
tory Saturday and Sunday.
Latest estimates place the death
list at close to 1000, although no Of
fetal figures are available. Hun
dreds of persons are more OF less Sc
riously burned, thousands are desti-
tute and homeless and the property
loss will run into many millions OF
dollars. At least a dozen towns and
cities were destroyed. The worst
blazes were at Moose Lake, Kettle
River and Cloquet.
Relief work under direction of
Adjt. Gen. w. F. Rhinow and Gov.
Burnquist is progressing rapidly.

HE'LL fire GANG
1. w. w. BLAMED FOR MANY
FIRES OF MYSTERIOUS Or
IGN IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Pierre, Oct. 14.-Fires of mystic
rious origin continue to be reported
from different parts of the state, the
peculiar feature of these fires being
that in practically every instance
grain and foodstuff supplies are burn
ed. This has confirmed the belief
that members of a new "hell-fire"
gang of the /. w. w. are at work in
South Dakota, and that the fires
which clearly were of incendiary
origin were started by the placing of
phosphorus so the tracks of the fire
bugs could be better concealed.
With the certainty that these des-
perate criminals again are at work
with the object of destroying as
much grain and other foodstuffs as
possible in South Dakota, elevator
managers and managers Of other In
stitutions in which large quantities
of grain and other foodstuffs are
stored, including barns on the farms
of the state, should take every pre-,
caution to guard their property a
night.
Farmers, especially, should TAX,
steps to have their barns and gran
aries guarded while they have larg'
quantities of grain on hand. Recent
ly there have been a number Of mys
terious barn fires. in which an az
gregate of thousands of bushels o
grain were destroyed.
The firebugs apparently are GOV
ering their tracks unusually well, an
this has given rise to the suspicio,
that the men responsible for the nu
merous fires evidently are posing a
farm and thresher hands, in orde
that suspicion should not easily b
directed toward them. Therefore
farmers should, If possible, keep Ia
on. the movements of farm hands EN-
ployed by them and whom they lodg
in their homes, to discover, il pos
sible If they leave their rooms a
night. as they might follow thi
course in visiting surrounding farm
and placing quantities OF phosphorus
which when properly prepared doe
not burst into flame for many hour
after being placed.
