FROM FRYING PAN TO FIRE.

A story goes that once upon time live fish
was placed in frying pan. In its agony it gave
one mighty flop and landed in the hotter Goals of
the fire.
We fear the story of the fable is being enacted
IN real life today.

Of it pouring out again H 2*-s :
. And in the big cities, despite the high wages
paid there is quite as much pouring as rolling.
Just why bright eyed, keen minded and ener-
getic young men of the country should prefer the
exasperatng perplexities Of the city to the peaceful
certainties of the country is difficult to conceive
From infancy they have been trained in the hard

for Mr.. Stanton, as Grand Forks is one OF the
most modern young cities in the northwest and

afflicted with growing pains. Many large and i'm

YENEREAL TREATMENT
IS TAKEN BY SIXTY;
SHOULD Be HUNDREDS

Although so persons are now taking
regular treatments at the EaSthaven
venereal disease free clinic, investiga-
ton shows that for public health and
safety over twice as many persons
should be taking advantage of the free
cure offered there.
The clinic is open for women from
1 to $3.50 on Monday afternoon, and
for men from to $50 on Monday and
Friday nights. Misunderstanding of
the time and purpose of the clinic has
caused some confusion.
There is some understanding that
we simply want people whose disease

This is wrong The clinic has no
connection with the insane asylum,
and should be used by all persons who
are suffering from venereal diseases
md who are unable to bear the ex-
pense Of taking treatment from a
private physician.
No One Is Charged.
Private treatments are very expen-
sive. At the clinic no person is
charged for the services rendered him
If he Is able he may pay for the drugs
used"
1t is pointed out that some physic'
ians are not cooperating with the
clinic as much as was hoped. We are
perfectly able to care for twice as
many patients at the clinic: it is re-
grettable that more people do not take
advantage of it for their own sakes il
not for public safety" said a clinic
physician.

dent Ice and Fuel company, announced

large consumers will be raised from
80 cents to 40 cents; restaurants.
grocers and soda fountain operators
will be raised from 50 to 45 cents ::
those purchasing ice from the company

Cipal reason. Indianapolis ice dealers
have advanced their prices.

OPENED BY JULY 3

City officials are hoping that the
new Main street bridge will be com,
pleted to the extent that it can be
thrown open to traffic, with appro-
pirate ceremonies, by July 4. How
ever, they have not been definitely
assured that the bridge will be ready
for use on that date, and it is possible
it will not be.
1t is expected that within very
short time after the Main street bridge
| is opened, the Doran bridge will be
closed until new flooring can be
placed on it.
