BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE Ste og MOLDING ROOKEY MEDICS = INTO TRAINED UNITS: OF GREAT FIGHTING MACHINE Doctors Mu:t Go Through Same Course as Ordinary Private to Prepare The: for Important Duties to Come—Civilian Phys- ician Helpless in Face of Military Necessity—Boys Need Cheer- ing, Good Reading Material and Letters From Home. (Or. J. O. Arnson, 1st Lieut. M. 0. R.C., U.S. A.) Medical Officers’ Training Camp, Fort Kiley, Kansas, Sept. 20.—To the uninitiated camp life usually appeals asa vacation con ing of pleasure, well interspersed with rest, but the camp life of the doctors who have given their services to the country is in vivid contrast to this. The train- medical officers. are given is more strenuou: das exacting as that of the entisted recruit. This thorough- ness is for a double purpose, to toughen the physique to better with- stand future difficulties and to teach them the inside of a soldiers’ life that they may contemplate life and army conditions from the standpoint of the private. Medical officers must know the duties of the line as well as those pertaining strictly to the medical de- partment. The failure of the medi- cal department in the Spansh war was partially due to the ineffective ad- ministration of the medical branch, caused by lack of training of medi- cal officers who ‘ directly from civilian practice to 'ic¢ army. Civilians . 138, How helpless a civilian physician is in military environme::i can not be ap- preciated by a lay iuiad, and the re- sultant lack of understanding between Iihe officers, who possessed the auth- ority, and medical officers who acted .only in advisory capacity was the di- rect cause of the great mortality from disease which existed during the Spanish war. . wie! Line officers appreciate the import- ance of sanitation in maintaining the efficiency of their command and the regult is a better status of the medi- cal officers’ advices. To Make Efficient. It is to make the medical depart- ment efficient, in short, to make tha doctors over into soldiers, that tho army has created the medical train-, ing camps. Besides the training of , medical officers, privates enlisted in hospital and ambulance companies are under instruction, both in field and trench first aid. A complete sys- tem of trenches with dugouts for dressing stations have been construct- ed and companies. completing their gourses here are ready for service at the front. The Daily Program. ‘The daily program for the men who used to be, doctors. begins at 5:15 a. m, when they roll out. Consider- ing that most doctors are late: sleep: ers the agility with which they salute the, rising sun is remarkable. course the expletives that. accompany tho rise are many and. varied, leave it to the doctors, but they get out for reveille.,, Despite; the discomforts, the men ;subserve their selfsh and sefl- centered interests to the interest of the company and the service, and all eee ee tom PAN STOPED QUICK Corns Lift Right Off With “Getst.” Blessed relief from corn pains is simple as.A B C with “Gets-It.” When. you've been limping around for days trying to get away from a heart-drilling corn or. bumpy callus, and everything you've tried has only made it worse, and then you put some .etsIt” on and the pain cases right off like a.bauana skin—‘ain’t it a grand and heavenly fecling?”.; o “Gets-lt” has 1. .clutionized «the corn history. of the storid..

When all companies are walked and run at double time over the Kansas hills. A doctor from Mi: sippi describes the hike as well as any one can. He says, “They walk us till our tongues hang out and run us till we drop.” No War Talk. There is very little discussion of the. war heard zround camp, every- body is busy with drill, class work and sleep. ed, and in the ranks are included em- inent specialists and college profes- sors. Hveryone has felt it his duty to respond and it is very significant to note the preponderance of married men, rather advanced in years, only ten per cent of the men in our com- pany are single. Diversion is found in the neighbor- ing. cities of Junction City and Man- hattan, both cities reminding one of Bismarck very much, Here are vaude- ville theaters which are generously patronized by the soldiers. A fea- ture which Vismarck might well con- sider is the public open air swimming pool. Each town has a large, clean pool open to the pu lie for a nominal fee of fifteen cents for towels and} suits. The men enjoy these advant- ages immensely. All Conduct Services. All denominations conduct. services in camp every Sunday, and the Y. M.' C. A. is well represented in every camp doing a wonderful work for the boys who certainly need these influ- ences. Remember the soldier when- ever you can, his lot is hard and he appreciates home remembrances, for everything is not rosy in a military camp, Send your periodicals forward and when the army goes don’t forget to boost and be with them in spirit, because they need encouragement in the big task ahead.

CREAT FUTURE FOR OUR COAL Believes Fuel Famine Wiill Result in General Introduction of Lignite in State LAUGHABLE IGNORANCE OF VALUABLE RESOURCE! That the probability of the eastern section of North Dakota will be un- able to proeure enough hard coal and) eastern bituminous’ to’ supply ts win | ter needs will result n several. times doubling the consumption of native lignite is the opinion of Dr. E. J. Lab- cock, dean of the North Dakota coll loge of mines ,and chairman of the national defense council committee on fuel, who is here attending a meeting of the executive, committee, Dean Babcock is one.of;the na- tion’s most respected-autherities, on lignite. He can make it sit up and play a tune when it will not: even roll over for one less, gifted.. He has re- ported now proving a 43. perceat, in- crease in lignite consumption over August, 1916, and he believes that be- fore real cold weather sets in every home in the valley will have a little lignite in the house. ¥ They Want to Know. “The attitude of some of our east-' ern North Dakota people toward Jlig- nite is really laughadle,” said Dean Babcock today. “I. receive Jetters al- dig their supply, at as little as a dol- lar for a load. Some Big Mines. 3 The largest mine in the state, lo- cated at Wilton, employs 20) men and produces a quarter-million tons annu- ally. This production will be doubted this year thrdugh the opening of a second shaft jand building of a new shaft house. There are large mines at Dickinson, Hebron, New Salem, in the Minot vicinity, at Noonan, Lig- nite and in many, other sections of the state, and: their production is growing rapidly. Doan Babsock. believes that once eastern coal-uscrs become familiar with lignite, they will burn it to the exclusion of.the much more expensive castern coals.” Three tons of lignite ost no more than one to nof anthra- cite. They do entail more shovelin~ More looking after the furnace, and a large fire-box. That is wnere we rub comes, and it is the only count that ever has been made to stand against lignite. 3 PIONEERS TELL HOM WINNESOTA MADE FINE FARMLAND A SANE Interesting Testimony Given at St. Paul by Old Settlers From Richland Pioneers who. , settled in the Red River valley from 1861 to 1899, and who have resided there continuously from 29 to 37 years, testified in North Dakota’s drainage. suit against the state of Minnesofa before a master in chancery at St: Paul last week to the effect, thaf the , section of Richland county which has) been. under water for the last three;,years had up, to most every day asking: “What is lig-/,1915,.been one of the finest farming “Will it burn? ‘Can I use it in! “Will i€ explode?’ ‘How it nite?’ my furnace?’ do you lite the stuff?’ Do you. feed with a spoon or with a bottle?’ ” Lignite is officially recognized by the United States. geologica] survey as a bituminous coal in, process of form- ation, about forty. pergent .as efficient as the higher grade. soft coals: .Sev- en hundred. billion tons. of.it underly central and, western North Dakota.
