CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON | (Official, City, State and County Newspaper! | Eureka! The Sanitary Conference ‘The water and sewerage conference in session here ‘Tuesday and today is one of the big steps taken by the State health department in the organization of its field. ‘Water and sewerage are close to the comfort of the peo- ple. They are, therefore, close to the public health. Both are potential in elements of contamination and infection. | And both are indispensable systems of municipal func- tioning. | Aside from the warning given by last summer's drouth, | that a state water supply problem is not impossibie in | spots, there is the problem in spots also of how to get a | dependable pure supply at this time. Several of the smaller cities and towns are using raw water from the streams, particularly the Missouri, simply subjecting the pumping to sedimentation and then using the water for potable purposes without treatment against the swarm- ing bacteria. This is taking a great risk in the dircction | t! of epidemic disease. Others are chiorinating their raw and sedimentated supplies, thus removing a great deal of the peril which) the towns drinking their water raw assume. But that is | not all that might be done. These two classes of towns | thould treat their water just as Bismarck is doing, sedi- mentize it, chlorinate it and filter it. The purity of the Bismarck water supply is justification for these three | w processes, as the visitors saw today in their visit to the | pumping station along the river. ‘Then, too, all cities and towns of the state should sub- | ject their water supplies to frequent bacteriological ex: | amination. The state maintains a number of bacterioloz- | ical laboratories, for this purpose among others. One is here in Bismarck, lately presided over by Dr. William | Sides Koller and now in charge of Dr. A. W. Eckiund, | who succeeded Dr. Koller when the latter was transferred | to the university laboratory at Grand Forks. Last year | 48 chemical analyses were made here and 1602 bacterio- logical examinations. Bismarck, Mandan, Dicki: and | other cities thus were kept informed as to the bacteriolog- ical character of thelr drinking water or, to express it | othe-:wise, their degrees of purity. ‘These examinations are kept up largely to determine | whether colon bacilli are present in the water. If they | are, the wa‘er is contaminated. Now. one of the sources of water contamination is sew- ege. One town upstream discharges its sewage into a ttream and the next town pumps its water supply out of the current thus contaminated. State Engineer Kennedy assures North Dakota that it has not yet reached the point where this is a grave situation. The flow of the Missouri, for instance, is in speed and volume able to di- ‘vest it of the poisonous character of the discharges which the towns mingle with the river's waters. The fact that eewage is 99.9 per cent water also assists in its denaturing. But it may not always be so, Even at the present time @ drouth, by lowering the volume of a stream’s current, not only allows the sewage to pollute the water for Potable purposes, but the stream becomes unable to carry Off the liquid filth from the cities and towns where it arises. Some such situation has vexed several North Da- kota towns this summer. It was a serious situation for them. These conditions are up before the present con- hope of gaining scientific insight into an intelligent solu- tion of the problem now temporary. but with the growth of population, likely to become a permanent burden on these communities. How to divert the Missouri to the task of preserving the sheet of alkaline water known as Devils lake is another problem before the sanitation sessions here. This is going @atside of the scope of such a conference. The meeting is mainly in the direction of sanitation with respect to wa- ter and sewerage. The topic, however, has becn admit- ted into the conference in a spirit of fairness by Sanitary The All of which means that the water and sewerage con- ferences of the future will hardly have to deal with the Jake problem. That is an undertaking not for North Da- kota, but federal government to assume in co- state. For the present it is a dream. construction dreams wax vaster, it will find its day. Anyhow, Sanitary Engineer Bavone has done exceed- well in first conference. He has stirred up things, in fact. It is not too much to It was wise that the gathering permanently organized itself. It has a big field in ‘Which to operate in North Dakota and much good to look to.

Editoria} Comment Shooting Pheasants (Devils Lake Journal) Reports from various parts of the state which have | been stocked with preasants state that hunters, in the fields seeking grouse and prairie chickens, have wanton- ly shot a number of pheasants. The sportsman who d aning of the this is not a sportsman in the | He is what is generally | state is being stocked with | pe on and the various chapters of the Izaak Walton The purpose is to furnish future shooting for the hunters of the state, and to provide an admirable substi- tute for fast diminishing grouse and prairie chicken. The fish and game commission and the Izaak Walton league are motivated in this endeavor by altruistic pur- poses. The Lake Region is being stocked with pheasants because the true sportsmen here realize that something must be done to supply the hunters of the future with up- land game that will test their shooting mettle, and the | pheasant has proved to be a bird of no mean gameness. Probably if the grouse and chicken season were closed | completely for several years the pheasants would be given | a chance to increase, since such a rule would give the hunters who have no sporting principle no excuse to go into the fields. Knowing One-Tenth of 1 Per Cent (Christian Science Monitor) ‘The report of the United States department of the in- | terior listing the names of 15 boards and foundations and | the millions they gave to promote educational institutions in the United States in 1928 serves as a financial indi- cator of progress made since the days of the little red | schoolhouse when the teacher “boarded round.” From the Laura Spelman Rockefeller memorial, which gave $38,082,058, down through a fine list of other bene- factors, a wide range of educational activities received contributions that augur well for the spread of knowl- edge. While the progress is encouraging and rightfully en- titles educators to a great measure of satisfaction, which is perhaps often too large a part of their reward, there | is yet much work to be done. Perhaps this is nowhere | better illustrated than in the observation by Thomas A. Edison, who said recently that we do not know one-tenth of 1 per cent of anything yet. Since a place must be found upon which to put the blame for this state of affairs, the educational system must be held responsible for our knowing even that much. Consequenily, it is well that these foundations continue to devote a considerable part of their funds to the de- velopment of the theory and practice of edugation, for evidently education, too, needs further education. Joshing the Flag Wavers (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) An English archbishop, the Most Rev. William Temple of York, is having some fun with candidates. He pro- Paces a sort of “third degree” for them. Before election he would have each one of them cross-examined on his speeches by a competent barrister. The inquiry would be made under conditions that would close every gap to emotionalism. Every statement made by the candidate would be submitted to the acid test of logic. For instance, take an American aspirant for member- ship in a legislature or congress whose method of appeal would be simply the waving of the flag; who, instead of confining himself to some specific issue of immediate con- cern to the district, would embrace the whole country in his oratory. Not alone could he think of Podunts or the cow town of Dead Dog or the district of Weeping Gulch in his desire for the service of mankind, but of every American city and town and countryside, “from the gold- en-sanded shores of the Pacific to the Godless vistas of Maine, where the hand of man has never yet set foot “Stop right there!” the kill-, Pacific to do with the demand for election reforms in Pennsylvania or freedom of speech in Tennessee?” @ talk in one of the Rotary service club Well, even though we know he could do nothing but stamzier, who would fi ‘+ impossible to have a measure of sympathy for him?

But if we introduced an unsuspect- ing savage, or even a hearty cannibal to certain phases cf our modern— ultra-modern—life, he would prob- ably return to his folk and dwell on the cruclty of the westerner to his women, What would he think, for instance, if he were taken into our smart beauty parlors and saw women, ap- parently chained to the ceiling by | the hair of their heads—how would he suspect they were not being pun- ut were voluntarily having a _ nent wave? Or if he saw a white-coated man |@ lead a woman with dripping head to a { lamps to beat down on her brain for an hour, would he ever realize that it is by that vicious looking method that | she achieves her natural looking fin- ger waves? sk * HORRORS! Or, suppose he saw her, stripped to a short chemise, perspiring in one of | tase belt machines where fat is Tubbed off by the friction method, or seated ona revolving barrel, while small revolving rollers wear off the fat where she sits; or, then again, suppose he saw her in a stcel cage, smilingly, or at least without protest, taking a beating with paddles—would he realize that it was not because she has displeased her lord and master, but to please him, that she was suffer- ing thus? Or, suppose he saw her in a pink walled, blue taffeta curtained cubicle, mysteriously clad in a white sheet, submissive in a chair while a white- uniformed woman standing above her, slapped her neck and chin vigorously for an hour, sometimes with the palm of her hand, and sometimes with a swatter. How would he be exnected to know that she was not suffering retribue tion for burning the stew or casting | a furtive eye at a stranger, but was) getting rid of a double chin and a flabby throat by beating it down, lit- | erally? * Oe OK SUFFERING FOR BEAUTY If there be men who have any illu- sions about women being the weaker sex, they should never sec them while they are being beautified, or being re- duced, The amount cf punishment they will take, without whining, in order | to look frail, feminine and helpless, is a revelation. Apparentiy no torture is too great if it takes off a hip or puts on a curl. And someone with a fine knowledge of feminine psychology keeps invent- ing and putting onto the market, ma- chines that would have done credit to the Spanish inquisition. Which leads one to the inevitable conclusion that ail is not torture that punishes the flesh. And perhaps what seems like cruelty among sav- ages, could be just as easily explained, if we know the combination. need to know why the punishment is inflicted in order to judge. BARBS ° Banker who swindled New York banks out of $500,000 says he did it o depositors, and for the same reason we are reminded of the “did it for the wife and kiddies” cpisode that fol- lowed the 1919 world series. The mayor of Berlin, visiting this country to study American municipal gevernment methods, gets word from home to return at once because a big graft scandal has broken out in the ; German capital. Apparently we can't teach those Germans a thing, aftcr all. Football player in Connecticut tries to commit suicide by ramming his head into a concrete wall, but suc- ceeds only in getting a bad bruise. Any man who has charged into a gang of eleven husky young football Players with mayhem in their hearts cught to know that a mere concrete wall couldn't hurt him. The worst months for automobile fatalities, statistics prove, are the last two of the old year and the first ten of the new year.

Larry will be popular without half trying. He'll be invited to join { everything, and everybody will be ex- ecting the best of him. It's fine to have a reputation to live up to. All he has to do is to follow in his brother's footsteps.” Thus spoke a family friend over the tea cups. But Larry's mother, with some of that intuition so generously attributed to all mothers, was not so sure that Larry was lucky. She knew that her younger boy was quite different from his brother. If, indeed, he should find himself popu- lar, it would be for reasons wholly different from those which had won { the elder boy his leadership. Also she understood quite well that, although there was a very real af- |fection between the boys, there was jall for the sake of his own trusting | also a current of antagonism, which, if Lari proved unhappy in the ‘school situation, might readily pro- duce a whole crop of quarrels and ‘hard feelings. !

Think of | largest nerve in the body. When pain occurs in this nerve it is usually called sciatica or sclatic rheumatism. ‘This is really a form of neuralgia of the sciatic nerve. It may occur with those of a rheumatic tendency, those having pelvic tumors, or in case of cither a nerve injury, nerve inflam- mation, and in certain spinal diseases. Sciatica is usually characterized by sharp stabbing pains or a burning pain about the hip region. These pains are usually very severe. One form of sciatica is caused by an inflammation of the nerve caused through a deposit of rheumatic poisons. The pain may start in the back of the sacrum and extend down the leg in both the front and back. | This form of sciatica is easily cured |through a dietetic treatment which | will eliminate the rheumatic poisons. Another form of sciatica may be from jany pressure in the pelvis, such as from a packed rectum due to consti- pation, The pressure may also come during the latter months of preg- nancy, or be due to the growth of pelvic tumors. If the tumor presses toward the right side of the abdomen, the pain may shoot down into the right leg, and in the case of certain kinds of cystic tumors where the tu- mor changes its position from one side of the pelvis to the other, the pain may change from one leg to the other, according to whether the tu- mor is pressing to the right or to the left. Another form of sciatica is caused from a malposition of the lower lum- bar vertebrae or the sacro-iliac bones of the pelvis. Such faulty positions | often cause a pressure on branches of the sciatic nerve and the pain will continue until the proper treatment is given to adjust the bones to their normal positions. One form of sciatica is caused from either tuberculosis of these same spinal or pelvic bones or from a lo- calized case of rheumatoid arthritis of these joints. Sometimes the hip joint may alone be affected with | arthritis or tuberculosis and the in- flammation from this one joint may | affect the sciatic nerve in such a way | as to cause sciatica. A careful diagnosis is usually nec- essary in order to arrive at a correct conclusion concerning the exact causes of any specific case of sciatica. One of the simplest tests for the pa- tient to use at home is to try a fast for about a week to see how much \effect this will have. If there is not a decided change within a week on an orange juice fast, the patient may rest. assured that there is either an inflam- matory condition of the pelvic bones —that these bones or those of the lower spine are out of position—or that there is some definite pelvic pressure, possibly caused from consti- Pation or a tumor formation. A careful diagnosis will always dis- close the real cause or causes, and this, of course, suggests the proper BOA LAS Se del MARIE ANTOINETTE On Oct. 16, 1793, Marie Antoinctte, queen of France and consort of Louis XVI, was beheaded as a traitor to her country.
