flow Of saliva, and hence the dry
ness of the mouth.
Ordinary thirst, however, not
that experienced in an emotional
state, is due to depletion of the
water supply to the tissues. The
sensation of thirst, however, is To-
Gated in the mouth, just as hunger
is located in the stomach region.
Why should thirst-the need Of
the cells for water-be indicated
by that feeling of dryness in the
mouth? In a person who is thirsty,
if water is introduced into the body
elsewhere than by the mouth-un-
der the skin, or in a vein, let us say
the dryness of the mouth disap-
pears. And if the sensation Of the
dry, thirsty mouth is assuaged by
having a person take a mouthful
of water, rinse it around, and then
spit it out, SO that the body cells
get no replenishment, the sensa-
ton of dryness of the mouth still
remains.
The explanation given by DR..
Walter e. Cannon, who has worked
on these subjects for many years,
is that the mouth is a region which
is especially likely to become ldes-
icated when the bodily reserves of
water are reduced.
Across the back of the mouth air
currents are constantly moving,
drying it off. If the water reserve
of the body is high these tissues
are kept moistened from within by
the blood stream. Also by the sal
wary glands, the secretion OF
which is generally from SO to 81
per cent water. If the water sup
ply Of the tissues is lowered, the
salivary glands cease to secrete,
and the palate is not moistened
from within, so the sensation Of
thirst occurs.

CLINICAL TESTS
START IN COUNTY

An intensive health education cam
paign was started this week in Sheri-
dan county by Montana State Tuber-
culosis workers in preparation for the
work Of giving free tuberculin tests to
students in high schools.
Henrietta Crockett, executive secre-
tary of the Montana tuberculosis AS
sociation and Mrs. Dorothy Burleigh,
nurse, arrived the first OF the week
and will carry on the preparatory
health campaign.
The executive secretary will meet
with groups of people and explain the
work to be undertaken. She will visit
Sheridan county towns and commun-
tiles
Henrietta Crockett stated Tuesday
that general tests will be given to all
students The work will be under the
direction of local doctors
Plentywood high school students are
submitting to the examinations. Fol-
lowing the work here, students of the
Medicine Lake schools will undergo
the tests.
The tuberculosis association secre-
tary stated that the greatest toll from
the disease occurs in persons under II
years of age. Splendid work of tuber-
culosis prevention societies has greatly
reduced the death rate throughout the
nation. However, last year 81 persons
in Montana died from the disease
Miss Crockett said that people get the
infection two years before the symp-
toms appear.
The examinations are made poSsiN'e
through sale of Christmas Seals. Mis-
Crockett stated along with the work o1
giving tests for tuberculosis the asso-
citation conducts a permanent chest
clinic at Butte, state nursing service
an X-ray clinic and nutrition ano
corrective clinic.
1t will take two months to complete
the work in Sheridan county.
The National tuberculosis Associ-
alton advocates periodic tuberculn
testing and X-ray of children from in
fancy up in order to discover the
childhood type of tuberculosis. The
tuberculin test, a harmless skin test
shows within forty eight hours wheth-
er any tubercle bacille have entered
the body.

emergency FIRST
AID STATIONS Will
Be PUT IN COUNTY
New Red Cross Program for
Emergencies Now Being
Outlined

An effort to cut down an increasing
toll Of deaths by automobile accidents
by establishing emergency first aid
stations at various points is program
being launched by the American Red
Cross, it was learned here today
The program will be launched in
Sheridan county. Paul T. Carlson, field
representatives of the Red Cross is in
Plentywood today comforting with
Judge S. E. Paul, county chairman,
and other Red Cross officials.
DR.. J. c. Storkan of Plentywod has
been named chairman of the county
program.
Three or more emergency first aid
stations, at points where hospitaliza-
ton and medical care is not available
for emergency treatment, will be es-
tablished in the county, Mr.. Carlson
said. The points will be named later
following survey by the field rep
resentative and Red Cross officials.
Work Voluntary
The first aid work will be voluntary
and the stations will be located close
to highways in places such as filling
stations, restaurants or other conven-
lent business establishments.
A fifteen hour course in first aid
training will be given those in charge
of the voluntary work and will be un-
der the direction of the chairman of
the county program.
First aid stations will be equipped
with first aid kits, splints, blankets and
other necessary equipment for emer-
gencies.
The stations will be designated by
highway signs, to be put up by the
state highway commission, marked
with the Red Cross emblem and in
scribed Emergency First Aid Station
American Red Cross"
Mr.. Carlson states that more than
100 emergency stations will be estab-
lished in Montana At present there
are fourty- on highways 10 and
IL.
The field representative, speaking
before members of the Plentywood
Lions club Wednesday, said "many
deaths in highway accidents occur
through lack of immediate first aid
treatment" The death toll continues
Accidents will happen and it is the
purpose of the newly planned program
to meet such emergencies as quickly
as possible, which in many instances
may mean the saving of lives"
According to the set-up, the firsi
aid stations will be inspected at fire.

MANY sign COURT
HOUSE PETITIONS

Hundreds of Sheridan county tax
payers have signed petitions favoring
an election to be called for the purpose
of determining whether Sheridan
county should bond for a designated
sum to be used for construction of a
court house for the county.
Every community in the county is
represented on the petitions and by
the end Of this week signature rustl-
ers" believe that sufficient number
Of names will have been secured to
bring the issue to a vote in the July
primary election.
Twenty percent of the county tax
paying voters are needed on the peti-
tions to bring it to vote. Signatures
at the end OF the week will undoubt-
edly exceed that number by a wide
margin.
In the meantime "a court house for
Sheridan county" issue is on the
tongues of Sheridan county taxpay-
erS.
Sheridan county taxpayers who
have signed petitions have expressed
opinions that in view of the fact that
government funds are available
whereby forty-6ve percent of the cost
of the building can be gotten as an
outright grant, Sheridan county should
take advantage of the situation.
A court house at total cost of ap-
proximately $4,000 is what is being
discussed

found the shaft sunk fifteen feet. Sur
face gravel hindered the drilling some
what.

OUTLOOK TO BUILD
new GYMNASIUM

A practically unanimous vote favor
ing a bonding issue has made possible
a needed building program for the
Outlook schools.
Voters in the 500 line town and
district went to the polls and favored
the building program by big major
ity.
Old bonds to the extent of $4,000
have been retired as authorized by the
vote transferring the surplus from the
general fund to the sinking fund
At the same time practically un-
animous vote authorized the board to
sell $4,000 new bonds.
The refnancing program will give
the district saving of about 2l2 per-
cent interest on the bonded indebted
ness.
The $4,000 will be matched by 45
percent WPA grant which will be suf-
ficient to insure the building program
A new gymnasium will be built A
water system will be installed and ex-
tensive repairs will be made on the
old school building.
The school board hopes to have the
gymnasium completed in time for use

Patrolman Visits Sheridan;
Many Car Drivers Checked

L. v. Cornwell, newly appointed
highway patrolman for this district,
was in Sheridan county the first of the
week.
The patrolman, efficiently adhering
to his duties, courteously but sternly
reprimanded drivers of automobiles
without proper license plates and
checked night drivers on dimming Of
lights. During his stay here he was a
mighty busy man.
From what has been learned, Sher-
idan county highway law violators es-
capped without digging deep into their
pocket books with the visit of the
patrolman. However, the next visit
may mean drain in many instances.
Mr.. Cornwell told the Herald that it
was planned to have a patrolman in
this section several times week in the
future.
