PAGE TWELVE _ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE __ HEALTH LAWS i, DRIVE STARTS One Fined for Failing to Re- port Communicable Diseases to Health Department f i — North Dakota laws that all doc- tors in the state must report com- municable diseases to the state health department will hereafter be sigidly enforced, according to an announcement today by Dr. A. A. Whittemore, director of the depart- nent, and Dr. J. D. Jungman, epi- lemiologist. One doctor has been arrested and ‘ined as the first step in the cam- jaien to have the law enforced, they said. The doctor arrested was brought aefore a county court jud; t at} @argo, convicted and fined $25, the | sosts of the proceedings bringing the total to about $40. He had for two years been neglecting to report com- nunicable diseases, officials of the nealth department said, and the step was believed to be necessary as an meentive to require all North Da- tota doctors to report diseases. Reports Important Reporting of all ases is of first Importance to doct according to Dr. Whittemore, both because of the part it plays in the work of the doc- for himself and for the welfare of the general public. He pointed out that if all cases of disease are not reported the death vate is figured at far above what t actually is. In certain cases, he said, the number of deaths was above the number of cases reported. Dr. Whittemore believes there are three important reasons why all cases of disease should be reported immediately to the state health de- vartment. Affects Immigration First, he said, it aids in checking »pidemics. The state health depart- ment. issues each month a chart showing the number of all diseases in the various parts of the state, and if all cases are not included in that list the sheet is not a true indicator and will not be of any great aid in checking epidemics. The sheet also is of great value to the doctors themselves in taking steps against epidemics, he ‘said. Second, he said, if all cases are not reported in the sheet the death tate in the various counties and tities of the state corresponds with the number of cases reported. If all are not included the deatit rate waturally is figured higher in the tarious sections than it is in reality. Persons moving into the state rarely fail to check up on several Items, he added. They are the church and school facilities and the super- vision given health conditions. If the proper cooperation does not exist between the doctors and the health department, with an increasing fa- tality due to epidemics, it naturally keeps a large number of persons from moving into the state who otherwise would do so. Hospital Authority Will Aid Mandan in Improvements Drive N.E. Davis, Chicago, secretary of the national board of hospitals and homes for the Methodist Episcopal church, is expected to arrive in Bis- marck Saturday night to give a ser- mon in Bismarck and to aid in the drive now being conducted in Man- dan for funds to improve and ren- novate the Mandan Deaconess hos- pital. This announcement was made in Bismarck today by Rev. G. LeRoy White, district. superintendent, and Walter E. Vater, pastor of the Mc- Cabe Methodist Episcopal church. Dr. Davis will deliver a gospel message at th: McCabe Methodist Episcopal church Sunday morning, Rev. Vater announces, and will make no solicitations or appeal for funds in Bismarck. Sunday night the hospital author- "ty speaks at a mass meeting of the Mandan churches in the interest of the hospital drive. ' He leaves Mon- day night for Philadelphia to at- tend the meeting of the home mis- sions group. Dr. Davis, formerly head of St. Luke’s hospital in Cleveland, is one of the leading authorities in the country on ho. pital management and equipment. He has jurisdiction over 80 hospitals and 40 homes for aged and orphans. He has charge of property valued over $60,000,000, ac- cording to Rev. White. The Mandan drive has $15,000 as its goal in the city, but sceks to net $40,000 for planned improvements. The remaining $25,000 is county outside of Mandan, $10,000; from churches outside of Mandan, $5,000; and from other territories in the Mandan district, $10,000, The first day of the drive in Man- dan netted $5,000, Rev. White said. COUGHED NIGHT AND DAY John Vognue, Elberton, Ga., says: “1 coughed night and day until my t was raw and hoarse.

Tha old, familiar story of destruction and death, rolling forth from its fire- stained mouth, is getting another re- telling. For nearly 25 centuries Etna has | taken a more or less regular toll of| the lives and property of the people} who live near it. The poet Pindar, writing nearly 500 years before the Christian era, spoke of the violence and destructiveness of its eruptions; and since then the story has been re- peated more times than anyone can count, Yet if Etna turns parts of Sicil: now and then, into scorched, lav: buried desolations, Etna perhaps has the right; for it was Etna that built Sicily in the first place. \ Volcano Built Island Long, long ago, probably before| there was no land where Sicily now men appeared on the earth at all. is. The sea rolled there unbroken. | Far beneath the bottom of this sea, subterranean fires were generating | a long series of explosions. They forced the sea floor up, and little by} little thrust a, cone-shaped, rocky | islet above the surface—the summit of Mount Etna. This new islet was as active a voleano as the world had scen. Its eruptions were violent and frequent. of molten lava, building the cone higher and higher, and cach time adding a little to the black beach that began to take form at its base. In the course of thousands of years, the entire island was built un in this way. The lava cooled, disintegrated in sun and wind and rain, became rich black soil. Vegeta- tion took hold in abundance; and when the republic of Rome struggled through its birth throes, Sicily was already a garden spot, thickly popu- | lated with farmers. Menace Ever Present But the peonle who live on Sicily ace of the towering mountain. In the year 122 A. D., for in- stance, the Roman empire remitted Sicily’s taxes for a decade because c! damage caused by an eruption. Again, in 1169 a flood of lava destroyed the cathedral at Catania, chief city of Sicily, killing hundreds of worshipers and the bishop who was officiating there. Five hundred years later a tre- mendous wall of lava came down on the city like a moving mountain, de- stroying a large part of the city and ruining the harbor, Twenty thou- sand people lost their lives. A score of years after that there came a terrific earthquake that killed many more. In 1769 another eruption nearly destroyed the entire city, taking 15,000 lives. Then fol- lowed a number of relatively quiet years, with no disturbance of real} size until 1879, when another violent eruption took place. 20 Villages Engulfed In 1910 Eena renewed its activity with a series of earthquakes and mi- nor eruptions that culminated in an earth-making catastrophe in 1914, when a score of villages were de- stroyed and 200 people were killed. The loss of life would have been many times greater in the 1914 dis- aster had not a group of minor earthquakes given advance warning and enabled people to get out of the way. Then, in 1923, came another catas- trophe, destroving the homes of 30,- 000 people and taking many more lives. Since then Etna has slum- bered—until now. Vesuvius is probably the best-ad- vertised voleano in the world, but for destructiveness it has never com- pared with Mount Etna—nor, for \MT.

Heidelberger, 39, an- other farmes living three miles from the Brown home. Mrs, Lizzie Heid- elberger, 40, with her six children, now resides in the home of Mr. Brown and Mrs. Heidelberger says that she is happier than she ever was before. Mrs. Brown and three of her five children now reside in the home of Mr. Heidelberger, also happier than ver before. , The arrangement — between the families, now in existence fo- about six weeks, has at present no legal sanction, but Mrs. Brown has sued her husband for a divorce on the ground cf cruel and inhuman treat- ment and Mr. Heidelberger has sued his wife on the same grounds. Neith- er defendant is contesting the ac- tion. The arrangement of matrimonial and sentimental relations offhand, and with somewhat the same ardor and emotion displayed in an old- fashioned horse trade, has no coun- terpart in the history of rural Wis- consin, : When Mrs. Heidelberger moved out of her husband’s home to go to that of Mr. Brown she took all of her furniture with her, and when Mrs. Brown moved from her lus- band she likewise took her furniture. The two husbands helped each other in moving the “heavy stuff,” . and the conversation between them dur- ing moving time, as it has been since, was amicable, both gay. The manner in which the marital negotiations took place was described by M Brown in the following 1 “Mr. Brown came to me one morn- ing and said that Mrs, Heidelberger was coming to keep house for him and that she was bringing her six children with her, He told me that I could do as I pleased, but that he wished I would go away. I waited until the truck came. Mrs. Heidel- berger was on the seat, and some of IN MILWAUKEE Newspaper Announces Strang- her furniture was in the rear. She came in the back door and I walked out the front. “I came down to see Mr. Heidel- berger, and he said I might as well stay and keep house for him.” “Have you seen your husband and Mrs. Heidelberger lately?” she was asked. “Yes,” she replied. “They stop here occasionally to say hello.” Coolidge Will Speak at Grange Meeting Washington, Nov. 16.—(#)—Busi- ness sessions of the National Grange, in its sixty-second annual convention here, were interrupted today while the visitors went sightseeing.

Streets were flooded at Emporia when storm sewers failed to carry off a 5.37-inch rain. Seven inches of rain fell in Butler county, sending streams to flood stage and inundating highways and farms in the lowlands. At Ottawa the rainfall measured 5.25 inches, the heaviest in 19 years.
