SEES PERIL IN DUST
Advises Pamphlets Giving

The public health group OF the
City Club, the seventh Of the ac-
Hvities groups to get under way,
was organized last night at the

a charter membership Of thirty-five
Emile Berliner. the inventor.
chairman Of the groups organiza-
ton committee. presided.
A committee composed Of Mr..
Berliner and William Muehleisen
was appointed to draft a charter
and bylaws. This committee will
meet within a few days and will
have its report ready for the next
meeting of the group, Tuesday
evening, October 5.
Berliner expressed confidence that
the coming session of Congress
would enact legislation raising the
standard of milk sold in the Dis
trict and said that he hardly be-
lieYed it would be necessary for the
group to act in the matter.
Need Writing by Experts.
Plans for distributing health lit
erature were discussed, Berliner
pointing out the need Of having all
pamphlets written by experts who
understand fully the important
points that should be stressed.
Health literature should be
specific" said Berliner. One city
in the country is spending 100000
year to fight tuberculosis and yet
the death rate, instead of dropping.
Isl actually mounting. One of the
reasons is that the health literature
in that city is not specific Wash
ington is spending only about $4,000
a year in its campaign and the
death rate constantly is declining.
Says Women Sweep Wrong Way.
Health literature should lay
stress upon the dangers of house
dust. Not one housewife in a thou
sand knows how to dust and sweep
properly. The first thing the aver
age woman does when she cleans
house is to raise the window from
the bottom. The result is that the
dust stays in instead of going out.
The windows should be lowered
from the top. \ stiff broom should
never be used in a house and car
pets should never be tackled down.
All coverings should be loose so
that they can be taken out of the
house and cleaned"
Mr.. Berliner paid high tribute to
DR.. William c. Fowler, District
Health Officer, saying that he was
working hard to improve health
conditions here and was achieving
remarkable results

its character as a play eminent
ly suited for vehicle by which
she might make her premier

BartholOmae, naturally some
what fearful because of the
newness of Miss Nesbit to
comedy drama, was persuaded
that The Open Door" had been
judiciously placed after Miss
Nesbit read her part to him.
Subsequent rehearsals awoke
his enthusiasm.
Has Strong support.
The next step toward making
a success of the play was the
securing of a capable cast. Hy-
man Adler, Arthur H. Ashley
and Donald Gallaher will appear
with Miss Nesbit in The Open
Door"
The Open Door" was staged
by Lawrence Marston under
Hast's personal direction. The
play, in which touches of COM
edy and emotion alternate. deals
with f1lial nobility and the in
gratitude of children. The
theme of the play itself offers
great opportunities for fine dra-
matte acting. Miss Nesbit is
said by those who have wit
messed rehearsals of the produc-
ton to give evidence of pos
sessing strong dramatic force,
while her comedy scenes are
marked by intelligent interpre-
tation and delicacy.

THE COUNCIL OF JEWISH

its Americanization and Immigrant
Aid Work, and to carry on its edu-
cational, recreational and other social
service activities, will be made during
the week Of April 25th by the Ma
tional Council Of Jewish Women, ac-
cording to an announcement made
today, following a meeting Of the ma
tional executive committee Of the or
ganization in New York City. The
campaign will be conferred in 119
cities throughout the United States,
including this city, where the local
section of the Council Of Jewish
Women is engaged in active work.
National campaign headquarters have
been opened at Ill East Forty-sec-
ond Street, New York, and Mrs. Alex
ander Kohut Of New York, who, dur
ing the war was "dollar-a-year"
member Of the Council Of National
Defense, has accepted the national
craftsmanship Of the drive.
This is the first public campaign
for support ever made by the Coun-
Gil Of Jewish Women since its organi-
zation in 1893. The contemplated
drive is made necessary by the i'm
perative need for extension Of the
Americanization activities Of the
Council, according to Mrs. Nathaniel
Harris Of Bradford, Pa, national
president Of the organization. These
activities have hitherto been financed
by the 10000 members Of the organ
ization. However, the work has ex-
panded so. rapidly, Mrs. Harris said,
that it has outgrown the organiza-
tons ability to finance it. The re-
sumption Of immigration from Eu-
rope, and the necessity for American
izing the neutrality-suspicious. the
foreign-born woman, befriending her,
and helping her to become part Of
American life, has made 1t necessary
for the Council Of Jewish Women to
ask for assistance from the general
public. "The Council Of Jewish
Women has representatives who meet
arriving Jewish immigrant women
and girls at their port Of arrival"
Mrs. Harris explained. "0ur repre-
sentatives direct them to their des-
tination, and keep q personal over
sight through home visitors until the
immigrant has become acquainted
with American language, customs and
ideals. The council maintains large
Americanization center In New York
City, where men, women and young
people are taught civics, and Eng
lish, learn trades whereby they can
increase their opportunities for self
support; clubs through which they
can learn American customs and
speech. Americanization work Is
feature Of every council section. In
many cities the Council Of Jewish
Women holds It's English classes in
factories, SO that workingmen and
women need not give up their recre-
alton hours for study. The organi-
zation also conducts night classes in
public schools in cooperation with the
public school authorities, organizes
neighborhood groups for girls and
young women and sends visitors to
bring Americanization into the homes
Of those who cannot come to the
classes.

ious activities, including Bible study
and Jewish history groups, teaching

FIELD NUPTIALS

Miss Blanche Stribling and Mr..
Scott Bennefield were quietly married
at the brides home, 230 Crescent Ave.,
Valley City last Friday afternoon at
$3.50 O'Clock. The rites were read by
Rev. G. w. Crosby of the Litchville
Congregational church, in the presence
of the relatives and a few intimate
friends. G. P. Bergeson served as
best man, and Miss Helen Stribling as
bridesmaid. After the ceremony and
wedding dinner, the contracting par
ties left on short wedding trip to
Fargo.
The bride is a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. C. D. Stribling, for several years
residents of this village. She is grad
uate. of the Valley City Normal and
was in charge of the primary depart
ment of our schools last year. She is
charming young lady who numbers
her friend by her acquaintances. We

HOW RATES WILL
AFFECT TRAVELLERS

Considerable talk is being heard
about the new rates which have gone
or will go into effect on the railroads
soon. The North Dakota railroad COM
mission has raised ntra-state-that
is rates within the state-twenty per
cent, but these have not yet become
effective. However, if one is to travel
from one state into, another, he will
find that the interstate rate will take
effect. For instance, before the new
rates went into effect, you could
travel from here to Minneapolis for
$500. Now if you wish to make the
same trip, it will cost you $11.52, or
an additional 20 per cent. If you wish
to make trip to Fargo, the old rate
is still in effect, and it would cost you
no more than it ever did. If you
wish to travel over to Moorhead, just
across the river from Fargo on the
Minnesota side, the extra 20 per cent
would be added to your ticket.
Persons planning on making a trip
to Moorhead would find it to their ad-
vantage to buy a ticket to Fargo, and
take a street car over to the other
side of the river. A ticket from here
to Fargo costs about $1.88. If one
was to travel over to Moorhead, it
would of course cost few cents more
for regular fare, together with the
additional 20 per cent which would be
added on, making the fare cost
around $3.50.

PAY FOR YECCS
DEAD OR ALIVE

The North Dakota Bankers asso-
citation is evidently determined to do
all in its power to bring halt to
the bank robbing industry in this
state. The association from it's office
in Fargo is now sending out pla-
card printed in bright red ink, head
ed $500 Reward" and which reads
as follows:
give hundred dollars reward will
be paid for the capture DEAD OR
ALIVE of any bank burglar known
to have burglarized with explosives,
flame cutting or electricity, or at
tempted the same, on the safe or
vault of member of the NORTH
DAKOTA BANKERS ASSOCIATION
with an additional reward of one
hundred dollars for every additional
man connected with the same bur-
glary or attempt
There have been number of bank
burglaries in this state of the kind
described in recent months, the per-
petrators of which are still at large.
It is to be hoped that the promised
reward will stimulate such activity On
the part of police officers as to make
that sort of business both. unhealthy
and Improbable.

BASEBALL GAME
NEXT SUNDAY

Arrangements have been completed,
whereby the Allison team of Fargo
will play Valley City here on the home
diamond next Sunday afternoon, Aug.
20, it was announced today. A. L.
Green, who is experimenting the
remnants of the Valley City team, is
confident that he has secured some
talent that the former management
overlooked and is making big predic-
tions about what they are going to do.
His team is called for practice at $50
this evening. The battery for Sun
day has not been announced yet.
Oriska had been secured to play
but due to some kind of a break in
plans, they were forced to call their
game off. Fargo was secured and no
doubt a better game will be staged.
The ''loot" secured from last Sum-
days game was insufficient to cover
expenses. This. was perhaps due to
the fact that few people knew about
the game, as it was not advertised
very largely, but good crowd is
looked for this Sunday.

St. Paul, Minn., August, 1920.
Gentlemen. Last year considerable
difficulty arose on account of the car
situation, and while today there ap'
pears to be plenty of cars to move
livestock, we believe this is occasioned
by the fact that very few shipments
are being made at this time.
However, within the next sixty
DAYS we know positively that there
will be tremendous demand for cars
and the railroads will be unable to fur
nish enough to meet this demand.
A committee, consisting Of South St
Paul men who are vitality interested
in the livestock business, have taken
charge of the car situation, and It at
any time you are unable to obtain
cars, or have any difficulty in getting
satisfaction from the railroad com
pany, and cannot get results, take this
matter up with anyone of the com
mittee, or with Mr.. S. A. Johnson, the
chairman, and we as whole will do
our utmost to be Of assistance to you
in this respect. :,
We would appreciate it if you would
give this information to your local
newspaper, as we want it known that
the people at South St. Paul are on the
Job every minute, looking after he
interests of the livestock men of the
northwest. @
