PAGE 2 OF PAVING DELAY Hope to Be Able to Start Real Work Monday—Inspector Here Sunday Due to the continued delay in re- ceiving equipment for the paving work in Paving District No. 38, the actual grading and curbing preparatory to the installation of the pavement have also been delayed. “It is hoped, however by the contrac- tor, that this equipment will arrive to- day, or tomorrow at the latest so that the work can be started Monday. Some cf the preliminary work has been done and also the erection of sheds and houses. for the tools, equipment and Jaborers on the job is practically com- pleted, B, H. Tong of Chicago, connected with the Portland Cement association, will be the inspector of the work of the city, he will arrive in Bismarck cording to T. G, Atkinson, city engineer. Tong, Who has con- siderable experience in this kind of work, will see that the work comes up to the plans and specifications and that the property owners in Paying District No. 8 get what they are paying for, according to Mr, Atkinson, The contract between the city and company provides that the be completed by October.15 is not finished by that time, the city can declare a heavy bond put up by the company as forfeited. Haiv- ever, in view of the uncertainity of| freight shipments and the labor situa- tion, it is believed the city will allow the company a certain lattitude on this matter providing that the company does its power to complete the work within the time specified. and if REALTY CO.

These two teams met last Sunday at Tuttle and by playing airtight base- ball and timely hitting, the Bismarck sluggers mangaed to nose out ahead and put ‘the game on ice. Tomorrow the Tuttle team promises to revérse the score and the visitors are confi- dent’ that nothing’ but the greatest streak of luck will make it possible for Bismarck to win the second game. Hope to Repeat But Bismarck’s side of the story is entirely different. The players de- clare they licked Tuttle once and will be able to repeat again tomorrow. But regardless of which side is right in this contention, tomorrow’s game promises to be one of the bést that has ever been played locally. Tuttle has probably the best team in this part of the country, outside of the Bismarck nine, Tuttle has won the large majority of its games béat- ing such teams as Garrison, Wilton, Braddock: and others, But not Bis- marck—yet. Bismarck has won eight out’ of twelve games which is’ not such a bad average. They hope to make it nine out of thirteen tomorrow. The lineup of the Bismarck team will be: Roberts, ss;’ Schnider, ¢; Boehm, lf; Bauer, 3b; Rockford, 2b; Norman, p or cf} Cayou, 1b; Olsen, p or cf; Eckhart, rf. Olsen or Norman will do the hurl- ing for Bismarck. Practice will start at 2:30. A large crowd is expected to be present as Tuttle fans are very enthusiastic and promise to invade Bismarck by motor in hordes. Local rooters will be there to help Bismarck to victory. jure derend (FORMER STATE teal“, | SUPERINTENDENT | fuimaicsour | ~~ ENDS WAR WORK menoften pale, allow-faced With dark oir? cles nude the eyes, and very often old. at forty-five When they should be in their prime?

Consultation Soldier Finest Man Ever in Contact With E, J. Taylor, former state superin- tendent of schools, has returned from the. east where he was engaged in re: construction Work at the various milf- tary hospitals. His work was of a temporary nature and was confined largely to interviewing wounded sold- iers to determine just what educational 1uéthods should be employed. He was connected with the Walter Reed hospital at Washington, D. C:, at Hospital No. 31, Carlise, Pa., and finally at Hospital No. 41, Foxhilis, State Island. “The American soldier,” he said, “is the finest man I have had the honor to come in contact with.

This conclusion ig btised on an’ elaborate study ‘of the subject by Illinots' Health News, whieh shows that in 1918 in Illinois alone ill- ness and death‘ from such diseases en- tailed a loss of $24.87 for each man, woman and child in the state. Although the general death rate in Illinois was at the low figure of 14:2 per 1,000 of population, the loss from the’ prin- cipal: preventable disé#éts amounted to $15,881,685, or 6.01 .per cent of the total property value of. the state, “If this ratio of per capita cost,” American Mediciné says, “were to apply for the entire United States the loss during 1918 would amount to more thin $2,500,000,000; The Hitnofs figures, : however, merely considered the ‘cost of the following cotitnunt- cable diseasés: ‘Typliold, malaria, smallpox, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough, diphthérid, ménin- gitis; polfomyelitis, tuberculosis and Pneumonia. ‘ “In computing the financial cost, three items were involved: (1) Thé cost of funerals: based at: $100 for adults and $50 for children; (2) the vaiue of life lost at $3,000 for an ‘adult and $500 for a child; (8) the cost’ of care of those who recover, including medical service for adults. : “Utilizing the same figures for the few above-named diseases in a com putation.on the basis:of the United States mortality figures for 1916,’ the death’ losses’ from these’ ten discases (poliomyelitis not included) amounted to approximately $570,000,000 and the losses due to medical care and wages to approximately $1,078,000. “The recent epidemic of influenta involved at I¢ast ten: million’ persons, with & mortality of approximately 400,- 000. - Assuming that each case of {Il- ness involved only $25 for medical cure, the cost would be $250,000,000. Pestilénce Adds Another Billion. “Inasmuch: as the mortality from {n- flvenza involved approximately three persons of working age to one child, one..may,.consider the average loss. by. death equivalent to $2,400, and the funeral expenses at $90, giving thus a total economic loss in vital assets of approxiniately $1,000,000,000. These fig- ures, largé a3 they are, take no ac count of thé losses in production due to the pestilence, nor, indeed, of the cost of labor turnover dae to the mor- tality of industrial workers, These fretnendous costs of com riunicable diseases miay be régarded fn .part as an index of the economic éffidency: of communities.
