U.S.. Backs Fight for
Better State Health
Staff Of 100 Nurses Works In.
der Direction of Or. Maysil
Williams
NEEDY GET FREE SERVICE
10, 900 Children Are lmmunized
Against Diptheria; Work Be-
ing Expanded

Steadily and quietly reaching into
every hamlet and the lonely places Of
the state, bulwark of defense against
disease and death has been built by
the federal government In the past
year. in North Dakota.
This new first line OF preventive
offense and defense against disease
counts its members in approximately
100 nurses, working under direction Of
FERA officials and DR.. Maysil NJ.
Williams, state health officer.
It sprang into being in December,
1888. with project submitted to the
CWA for eight nurses by the Fargo
Health Department.
Since that time, in cooperation
with state medical and nurses associa-
tons, the state dental society, legis-
lators, and other health and social
service organizations, the state nurs-
ing service has steadily developed.
Hundreds Of homes have been visit
ed by the nurses in the comparative
short time the service has been in ex-
istence. Patients unable to pay for
care have received 1t. Children whose
parents were unable to pay for medi-
cal treatment have been examined
and the first signs of disease have
been detected and halted.
The service is divided into two
groups: county nursing service and
city schools and bedside service.
At the present time. only four coun-
ties have not ayailed themselves Of the
service.
10000 Children Immunised
Special emphasis has been placed
on child health maintenance. ASS re-
suit Of the activities Of the organiza.
ton, more than 10000 children have
been immunized against diphtheria
and smallpox In 10 counties. Four
teen counties have similar programs
underway, and 10 additional counties
have made requests for participation
in the service.
A small medical relief committee IS
being established in each county to
make selection of children in urgent
need Of treatment for such defects as
diseased tonsils, adenoids, impaired vi
sion and dental imperfections.
Approximately $4,000 per month is
expended in the service, caring for
the nursing needs of INDECENT persons.
Difficulties Of transportation and of
weather have beset the nurses. One
young nurse, with a widespread field
to cover in the western portion Of the
state, solved her problem by con-
structing box, in which she placed
the scales for weighing school child
rem. The box, mounted on a horse,
went with the nursing rider Of the
range on many excursions where 1t
would have been difficult. II not i'm
possible, for an automobile to make
Its way.
Two other types Of nursing main
tained by the service are general day
In hospitals which care for
and accept patients at public expense,
and general duty service In state in
stitutions which participate in public
funds.
Special duty nursing over limited
period Of time for patients eligible for
relief, and who are critically Ill also
5 provided.

FERA Will Spend
THOUSANDS TO Dig
new WELLS IN \, D,
Government Takes Hand TO help
Communities Facing Water
Shortage

Thousands Of dollars win be ex-
pended during the coming several
months In drilling 81 wells through
out the state, to meet the threat Of
disappearing water.
With lack Of water creating m
acutely serious situation, state off,
cials Of the federal relief administra-
ton moved forward rapidly Monday
to perfect plans to aid stricken COM
munities.
Articles Of incorporation Of . rural
rehabilitation corporation, through
which funds will flow to digging
activities, have been sent to Washing
ton for approval, as the first step Of
state wide aid.
In the meantime, funds from FERA
Allegations are being used In drilling
Of wells, and in supplying water needs
Of communities without water.
At Crosby, residents are on ira
tiors" Of water, with householders
allowed to operate water taps only
during limited number Of hours per
day.
In Ardock. according to I. A. Acker,
director Of work projects Of rural re-
Mobilization, = serious shortage Of
water Is faced, with underground
sources disappearing. In Pierce coun-
ty. near Rugby, farmers are hauling
water miles for home and farm use.
It Is contemplated that hundreds OF
wells throughout the state will be
drilled under the federal projects,
Acker said. Approximately 50 appli-
cations for well projects have been
received. and many more are ex-
pected.
Unless there Is q considerable fall
Of rain this fall. North Dakota win
be In the most serious condition ever
confronting the state" Acker said.

RAILS ASK PERMIT
TO BOOST FREIGHT
Bills II MILLIONS
Petition to ]. G. c. Cites Mount
ing Costs; Solvency Threat
ened Is Plea

Washington, Aug. 27.-F-The
larger railroads Of the country asked
the interstate commerce commission
Monday to authorize an $l7.O0O,O00
increase In the nations freight bill.
Citing mounting costs, they pleaded
for general increase on every com-
modify and class of freight, ranging
upward to ten per cent on first class
freight. They said an estimated $685.
100000 increase in costs in 1885 would
"jeopardize the solvency of larger
number Of important railway sys-
tems," unless relief is given.
The proposed boosts touch all manu-
featured products, major farm pro-
ducts which Of recent years have been
exempted from increases, and products
Of forest and mine.
The petition was filed by the associa-
ton Of railway executives for all class
! carriers-railroads doing 81 ,OOO, 900
or more business year. Similar petit
lions will be presented to all state
railroad commissions, the proposal be-
Ing to raise intrastate rates also. An
