 Indeed the Balkans have greatly changed. Rumania by incorporat- ing Bessara bia and Transylvania has ceased, even geographically, to be Blkan staate.

The Nations life may not have been imperiled by the presence in the Army of a consider able percentage of men who could not be equipped for service promptly but this is the minor part of the req son why this humiliating condition should not obtain in this country. The greater reason is that we can not govern ourselves while Tn fgnor- ance. We can not have a small DOT ton of our population unable to sense the movement of our times save through the gossip of the corner and altogether unable to check the idle rumor and the slogans of derna- gogues, without putting at hazard the success of our system of government.

SQnatOrium Board Granted Services OF
Full Time Visiting
Nurse.

The Sanatorium Commission board
OF Oakland Park sanatorium, situated
at Thief River Falls, has received an
offer of state aid in the maintenance of
q full time visiting nurse doing tuber-
cul0sis work in the sanatoriun district
comprising Marshall, Rose4u and Pen
nington counties. al
This offer comes through the State
Advisory Commission for consumptives,
and proposes deciding one thousand dol
lars during the year from the state
maintenance fund of tuberculosis san
atoria to further field endeavors in
this important health work
Should this nurse be supplied by the
proper officials of the sanatorium dis
trict, the medical director must also
give lectures to sanatorium patients and
nurses, in addition to articles for the
press on tuberculosis in general.
This is undoubtedly an excellent op-
pOrtunity for assistance in uncovering
and making proper arrangements for
examinations and care of these cases.
1t is sincerely hoped that the county
officials will be able to use this offer in
their efforts to wipe out this disease.

liquor dealers declare approximately
900. 900 gallons Of whiskey will be left
on their hands by refusal of railroads
to transport alcoholic beverages after
July 1. 1t was said this probably
would cause a sharp reduction in the
price Of whiskey on Monday.
Thirteen of. the fifteen breweries
here announced they would continue
manufacturing beer containing 2.75
per cent alcohol until January 1, when
the national prohibition amendment
becomes effective. They have filed
proceedings in federal court asking
that the Internal venue collector
and the district attorney he enjoined
from interfering with production Of
beer.
Many saloons have announced they
would remain after July 4 to sell the
2.75 per cent beverage, and already
500 saloons have applied for licenses.
