attend Interstate
Rate Conference
Held at St. Paul

Bismarck, N. D., Sept 4.-Rai1way
commissions Of North and South Da.-
kota, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and
Montana will meet at the St. Paul
hotel in st. Paul today to confer upon
problems which have presented them
selves under federal control. North
Dakota will be represented by Com
missioner G. w. Bleick and Rate Elk
pert James A. Little.
One of the matters to be considered
will be a complaint filed by a large
farmers organization with head
quarters at Chicago against the in
creased freight rate on coarse grains.
In other years coarse grains have
taken q lower freight rate than
wheat. This summer when the tariff
on wheat was advanced % per cent,
the rate on coarse grains was moved
up to the same basis.
The question of more favorable
rates for Ignite also will come up for
consideration. Under d recent ruling
OF the federal railway administration,
the sale of Ignite is confined to
North Dakota because Of high freight
tariffs. South Dakota and western
Minnesota would appreciate an OPP
portunity to buy Ignite, and another
effort may be made to make the fed
eral administration see the light.

GALL STONES.

A correspondent has written ask
ing me to explain what gall stones
are and how they may be prevented.
AS the preventive measures depend
largely upon general right living and
proper hygiene. I think 1t worth
while to answer him at some length
and at the same time give others who
may also be surious the benefit OF
the reply.
inflammation of the lining of the
bile ducts in the liver or the lining
Of the gall sac 10 the primary cause
of gall stones. Now here is a point
that brings out the general need of
proper sanitation and a rigid health
regime. ~.. ~.
The typhoid germ and its first
cousin the colon bacillus are fire.
quently the skuIking wretches re-
sponsible for such inflammation for
the inflammation is practically al
ways produced by infection.
Just to prove to you that when
dealing with the germ of typhoid you
are dealing with q regular tartar, let
ms explain that living typhoid germs
have been found in the center Of the
gall stones ten and in some cases
even fifteen years after the victim
has suffered an attack Of typhoid
fever.
Here is the way in which
the gall stones form: The mucous
lining Is irritated by a little colony
or clump Of germs and this sauses
the secreting of excess mucous,
which coats over the clump Of germs
and thus forms a foreign body in the
gall sac.
Cholesterin, a crystalline sub
stance Of the bile, is deposited upon
the indus, and lime salts may also
be deposited upon the indus in con-
centric layers.
Sometimes the stone grows from
the size of a sand grain to that Of
bird shot or peas. In some cases
even the stone grows as big as q
chestnut or pigeons egg, filling the
gall sac completely.

Marshall General Crowder has called

in order to discuss the advisability
of not calling the 100000 men in

While the matter is being taken
into consideration yet it is certain
that the general staff feels that It

men to the camps in view of the

46 DEMOCRATS
48 REPUBLICANS
Senators With Ford and Nu-
gent Michigan and Iado
Contests
STILL VERY DOUBTFUL

Washington, Nov. S.--With the
Michigan and Idaho senatorial con-
tests still in doubt, late returns from
Tuesdays elections last night give
the Republicans a total of 48 sena-
tors-just half the membership and
lacking one vote necessary to insure
control-and 46 to the Democrats.
In Michigan the Republican candi-
date, Truman H. Newberry was re-
ported to have increased his lead to
about $500 votes over Henry Ford,
with 1875 precincts records missing.
In Idaho the Democratic candidate,
Senator Nugent, was credited with
a increased lead of about 500 votes
over former Governor Gooding, the
Republican candidate.
Closeness Of both Michigan and
Idaho contests, upon which Demo
cratic or Republican control of the
Senate depends, were regarded as
giving prospect of official counts and
possibly contests later in the Senate
Republican control of the House,
however, is now beyond all question
With only one district missing-the
second Montana-the returns tonight
show: Republicans 23S; Democrats
1876; including one independent ;
Socialist, one; missing one.
