Epidernically Appearing Dis
ease Still Prevalent
in City.

Since midnight last night three chill
dren in this city have died Of the dis
ease commonly known as summer
complaint" So far, the victims of
this disease within the past fortnight
number six, and, judging from reports
today, there Is no material change IN
the situation since early this week.
Robert Jenson, 5-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Melvin r. Jenson, 7O7
Boulevard avenue, died at midnight
last night after having suffered from
an attack of summer complaint" for
a little more than a week. most of
which time he had been unconscious.
The funeral will take place from
the home Sunday afternoon at 2
o'clock. Rev. H. 3. Thorgrimsen Of
ficiating:'
Two Babies Die Within An Hour.
The 20-months-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. John Bergdahl, 7O2 Fourth ave-
nue., died this morning about o'clock,
after having suffered from summer
complaint" for period of about ten
days, three of which he was uncon-
scious. Hardly an hour later, at about
5 o'clock, the 13-months-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Lundhagen, III
Seward. avenue, succumbed to the
same disease. The remains were snip
ped to Fergus Falls, Minn., this noon
accompanied by the parents.
When asked for an opinion about
the prevalence Of this dread infantile
disease, City Health Officer Henry
O'Keefe said today that after discus
sing it with number of local ply
sicians, he came to the conclusion
that there was nothing abnormal in
the appearance of diarrhea at this
time. Even the number of cases re-
ported is just about normal" DR.
O'Keefe said, "and there is no need
for fear as long as parents are careful
and call medical aid when the first
symptoms of any disorder appear.
1.-THE disease is chiefly due to eli.
matte conditions, but there is nc
danger of infection whatsoever ir
view of the fact that diarrhea is not
a contagious disease"

Administrator.

e. F. Ladd, federal food admins

the following message to The Her
aid,
Assure Grand Forks county retail
dealers Of sugar that ample sugar
will be supplied for canning. job
bers have been authorized to sell to
allotment without certificates, these
to be furnished later. This is an em-
ergency ruling made to prevent vast
age of vast amount of fruit now on
the way to North Dakota. Consum-
ers are assured of enough sugar to
take care of all the needs Of the state
and there will be sufficient to care for
all fruit and vegetables"
Information along these lines was
also wired to Mrs. r. A. Sprague.
county food administrator, who said
that the new arrangement was effec-
tive at once.
Permits OF Be Issued.
Mrs. Sprague said that the regula-
tions require special permits for
sugar which is to be used for can
ming purposes. Strictly speaking.
these permits should be obtained
following application to DR.. Ladd at
to facilitate canning, arrangements
have been made BY which house,
wives may get their permits in this
city if they will apply for them to
Mrs. Sprague, who will be at her

cry noon from 1880 to 1880 and at
her Office in the city hall from 2 to
4 O'Clock. Mrs Sprague then for
wards applications and copies Of per-
mits to the federal state admins
traitors office.
Some misunderstanding has been
prevalent with reference to the for
mer method Of obtaining sugar for
canning purposes; it had been un-
for" one hundred pounds. and num-
ber of housewives have availed them
selves of this plan, some of them Sc
curing oarts of the special canning
sugar allowance thus made. Now
they have been at loss as to how
to interpret the regulations in regard
to the balance Of the sugar for which
they had signed, and when Mrs.
Sprague's attention today was called
to this dilemma she said that the
former arrangement was null and
void. but that practically the same
amount Of sugar could be secured
on the strength of the special canning
sugar permits about to be issued.
sprague said. "there is no use Of
have enough sugar for canning fruits
and vegetables, but we have not
enough for waste; the just distribu-
ton is being attended to as system
atically as we can do it, and every
housewife who needs sugar for her
canning. certainly can get it as soon
as a permit is issued to her."
