ASKS LOWER RATES.

Secretary Wallace Tells Cab

Is Necessary.

A rs per cent reduction at least in
freight rates on agricultural products.
especially on those intended for ex-
port, was recommended by Secretary
Wallace of the Department of AEri-
culture to President Coolidge and the
cabinet yesterday.
Secretary Wallace also recommend
ed the establishment of a government
agricultural export commission or
corporation, with broad powers, to aid
the. farmers in marketing their prod
ucts abroad
The Secretary expressed little. faith
in the efficacy OF arbitrary govern
ment price fixing of any one crop,
suggested by some members OF Con-
gress as a means of aiding the wheat
farmer at this time.
Higher TariR Suggested.
A suggestion was also made at the
cabinet meeting that tariff rates on
wheat be increased to As cents per
bushel. but both proposals-to lower
freight rates and to raise duties-con

said to have brought some objection

NEW Ignite
TESTS MADE
Canadian Ignite Coal Is
Tested at State "U"

Grand Forks, Feb. 23.-R. A.
Strong, -of the Canadian Govern
ment Ignite Utilization Board,
who has been in charge of a series
of coal tests conducted at the
University Of North Dakota, left
Wednesday for points in Canada.
Other representatives of the Cana
dian government assisting Mr..
Strong left earlier in the week.
Mr.. Strong has been at work at
the university for about two weeks,
having begun the series of tests
February 6. Three cars of Ignite
coal from the Canadian beds
were shipped to the university for
testing in the special design of
oven used in North Dakota Ignite
tests. This oven was designed
jointly by Dean f. j. Babcock, of
the university, and representatives
Of the United States Bureau of
Mines for the purpose Of carboniz-
ing ignite in the briquetting pro-
cess.
One of the research laboratories
of the School of Mines has been
used in the investigation. The
purpose of Mr.. Strong's visit here
was to learn whether or not the
| Canadian coal could be handled
successfully in the special oven.
Upon completion of the tests, he
1ave out no information as to re-
suits, due. to the fact that he is re-
quired first to make an official re-
port of the Canadian government.
While in the state he made a
visit to- the mining experiment
station at Hebron, N. D., to gath
er further data concerning his in
vestigation. w. w. Odell, of the
United States Bureau Of Mines,
who worked with Dean Babcock in
testing the North Dakota Ignite
last summer, was at the university
for while to assist in the study
of the Canadian fuel.

Berkeley, Cal, Feb. 23.-Armless
since birth, Martha Hale, freshman
at the University of California here,
has taught herself not only to do
with her feet practically everything
that the physically normal girl of
twenty (can do with her hands, in
Guiding cooking writing, sewing and
dressing herself, but intends to teach
others who are crippled to help them
selves. For this purpose, she is TAX
ing special course in social serv

All her life Miss Hale's attitude
has been one of optimism and self
reliance. A slender wisp of girl
she mas never learned the meaning OF
"Cant." She is an excellent student

to swim and dance" Among her
schoolmates she has long since
been accepted as zone Of the crowd"
During the war Miss Hale visited
many government hospitals w1ere
manned soldiers were fighting their
way back to an armless life.
"Once l could convince them," she
said. that feet could be quite as
useful as hands,. they began to take
interest, to feel that tle world was

HOSKINS-
STUNT PRETTY
AT MARDI GRAS
Elk's Quartet Numbers Prove
Big Hit of the
Evening

One of the hits Of the recent Mar
di Gras was the fine display CT
Hoskins- Meyer company. Master
"Bobbie" Hoskins drew a wagon
upon which was mounted the va.
rious stationery lines of the COM
pany. AS an introduction of the ski,
there was very fine presentation
of the Victrola department. Drawn
across the stage headed by Victor
trade marks was wagon with Vic.
trola records for wheels. Mounted
upon the wagon was Victrola upon
which was played a selection.
To represent the floral depart
ment was Miss Kathleen Murphy
? dressed as a bride with a very pref
ty bouquet. The wedding march was
played as she walked across the
stage. To advertise the kodak de-
partment Miss Murphy displayed a
popular model and took a snapsho
of the audience.
A slight error was made in de-
signaling Mr.. Gales act. He repre-.
sented the Dakota Fine Arts and not
the Elks as stated.
Members of the Elk's quartet in.
Guiding Harry Wagner at the piano
were: Arthur Dargan, Jack Franey
Matt Neibauer. They were encored
repeatedly.
Names of firms not putting on
skits but entering the list were dis
played on a screen. These names
were published previously in The
Tribune.
In the stunt representing popular
brands handled by Roy Logan the
children who acted their. parts Sc
we'll were Irma Fern Logan anC
James Watson Taylor.
The baby drawn across the stage
in the Bismarck Dairy float was Eu.
gene Hendrickson, son Of Mr.. ant
Mrs. Howard Hendrickson. The
child's complete self possession and
beauty made the skit attractive in.

This Draws the Blood From
the COngested Lungs and
Lessons the Danger of
Pneumonia.
THEN TREAT WITH VICKS

Deep, grippy colds, frequently
leading to pneumonia, have been
unusually prevalent this winter
In some sections they are called
influenza, but are so much milder
than the influenza cases during the
first epidemic that health authori-
ties have not agreed as to whether
these cases are all due to the same
infections, or even whether there
has been any real influenza.
"Flu" Germ Discovered
New light has been thrown upon
these matters by the announce
ment by DR.. Simon Flexner, direc-
tor of the Rockefeller Institute of
Medical Research, that the germ of
influenza has been identified. The
Institute staff, thru experiments on
rabbits, has found how this germ
Injuries the lung tissue so that it is
no longer able, as it is in health, to
destroy the common bacteria Of the
nose and throat that cause bronchi-
tbs and pneumonia.
DR.. Fexner also says, Recent re-
ports received from abroad and
from points in the United States
indicate that a secondary wave of
epidemic influenza, relatively mild
in character, is passing over parts
of Europe and America"
The Danger Is From Pneumonia.
II, therefore, behooves anybody
who develops deep grippy cold to
take his case seriously and work
fast If all danger Of pneumonia is
to be avoided. What is needed is
something to decrease the conges-
ton of the lungs. eFor this pur-
pose there is nothing like a rube-
facient or counter-irritant, as wit
ness the use of blisters, poultices
and plasters for generations. This
counter-irritation reddens the skin
draws the blood from the congest-
ed parts to the surface; the circu-
lation is improved; there is sense
of warmth and the possibility Of
pneumonia is greatly lessened.
Quick COunter.Irritant Needed.
The value of this counter-irritant
effect is greatly Increased If it is
produced quickly. Nearly every
family has it's ravorite method =
onion poultices, turpentine stupes,
mustard plasters and poultices Of
various kinds all are good.
A very simple method is to ap-
ply towels wrung out in hot water,
as hot as the patient can stand.
This not only reddens the skin
quickly, but also opens the pores
SO that more Vicks can be absorb
ed. Some, however, prefer to use
an ordinary mustard plaster, as
the reddening effect lasts longer.
Parts To BE Treated.
Whatever method is used, the ap-
plication should be applied over The
throat and chest until the skin is
thoroughly Redeemed. In very deep
colds. the side and especially the
back from the middle of the
shoulder blades to a point just
above the waist, should also be
treated.
The patient should be given a
good purgative and. If convenient,
hot mustard fOotbath for ten
minutes-One tablespoon of mus
tard to gallon of water.
Rub Vicks In, Then Spread On.
After the skin is thoroughly red
dened, it should he dried lightly
and Immediately the patient should
be given brisk massage with
Vicks' all over the parts. Continue
this for five minutes. This in
creases the counter-irritant effect.
Then apply Vicks thikkly over all
