Penalty of Progress How progress inflicts a penalty up- on many individuals innocent of ‘wrongdoing is illustrated by a recent @eclaration of the National Job-Sav- {ng and Investment-Protection Bu- reau for the Coal Industry. This group, engaged in active op- position to the numerous water power projects proposed by the na- tional administration, contends that the Missouri Valley Authority advo- cated by Senator Norris for the de- velopment of water power resources in the states of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Iowa and the Dakotas, ‘will cause @ possible reduction of 145,000 tons of lignite coal produced annually by North Dakota mines. It izes the average annual consumption of lignite in these states at 1,450,000 tons and says 10 per cent of this mount is used in steam generating plants. ‘Translating this potential loss in lignite production into terms of labor, it estimates that one miner produces 1,000 tons of coal annually and that, as a result, at least 145 miners would be thrown out of employment be- cause of reduced demand from power plants alone. Added to this number would be those whose labor would be displaced by reason of increased use of hydro- electric power for other purposes. Scientists and others long have en- visioned a condition in which, if the nation’s water power resources were completely utilized, most homes could be heated by electricity. Cheap rates also would encourage the electrifica- tion of railroads and increase use in other fields. ‘The result would be not only to throw additional miners out of work but to cut employment on the rail- roads by slashing the number of ton miles, ‘That it would benefit the public by having cheap heat available at the turn of ® switch is undeniable, but that it also would work # hardship on many persons and reduce the bility to purchase such current, at Yeast until numerous adjustments ‘were made in the labor situation, also 1} 1 li 5 : i 5 g ge ge THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1934 tunity to function because it came into bein:; at a time when the num- ber of unsound banks had been re- duced to a minimum.

It is in nearly every respect admirable. Democratic voters in North Dakota can go the limit in support of the entire ticket, knowing that their party has achieved almost the ultimate in a party slate. Among the list of candidates named the city of Cooperstown is given sig- nal recognition in the naming of our fellow townsman, P. H. Costello, for the position of Meutenant governor. He is named for an important posi- tion in an important slate of candi- Gates, which at this time would seem to have an unusual chance of win- He les North Dakota's highest type of citizenship. Starting from scratch he has reached one of the highest stages of the state's po- litical and business life. Every citi- zen of Cooperstown and Griggs county will admit the merit of the selection. For governor the Sentinel-Courier editor admits the influence of strong friendship and professional admira- tion for Thos. H. Moodie, the editor's ideal of everything that a country newspaper editor should be. He is everything worthy of emulation from @ newspaper standpoint in sincerity, steadfastness, fearlessness. He is not ® politician, though he knows every angle of it. His experience is as an observer over many years and in many places. No one in North Da- kota knows the ins and outs of poli- tics better than he. He will never go astray through any egotistical ideas of his own importance, and people may expect @ campaign and an ad- ministration, if fortune should de- cree victory, of a nature that will re- flect glory to the party which named him. In @ personal letter to the Sentinel- Courier editor Mr. Moodie expresses his reactions in a typical Moodie way: “I would much rather you and I were ulous vagaries of a North Dakota pri- mary campaign. Stick to Tom Thore- son and do him all the good you can.

D. Signed letters pertaining to personal health and hygiene, not to disease diagnosis, or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brady if a stamped, self-addressed envelope is enclosed. Letters should be brief and written in ink. No reply can be made to queries not conforming to instructions. Address Dr. William Brady, DISINFECTANTS IN THE HOME There is no other antiseptic, germ- iclde or disinfectant in our own medi- cine cupboard than Boric Acid, Tinc- ture of Iodin and from time to time some Formaldehyde. The particular uses of these will be described in due course. What purpose does a disinfectant serve in the family medicine cup- board? Is there any emergency or any minor illness in which it is advisable to use a disinfectant in the home, without the direction of the attending physician? Before we can answer that question it ts necessary to make clear what we mean by a disinfectant. A disinfectant is anything that destroys either disease germs or the germs that cause putrefaction of organic matter and offensive odor. An antiseptic is any- thing that tends to retard or prevent the multiplication and growth of germs. Often a stronger concentration or solution of an antiseptic than can be safely applied in or on the body 4s employed as a disinfectant. For ex- ample phenol (carbolic acid) in very dilute solution is still used as an antiseptic, tho even in very dilute solution it 1s so poisonous and irritat- ing and interferes so much with nat- ural healing processes that few phy- sicians now use it as an antiseptic. Among the most useful disinfectants are sunlight, fresh air, fire, boiling, baking, steaming, chlorin gas or vari- ous chlorin compounds in solution in water, such as “chloride of lime” or more properly calcium hypochlorite or bleaching powder, sulphurdioxide gas (or sulphurous acid _as it is called when dissolved in water), crude car- bolic acid (known as cresol), oraery » quick- lime) and formaldehyde either as gas or as a solution in water. Experience has amply proved that no disinfection other than ordinary soap and water cleaning or cleanliness and ordinary sunning and airing of a sickroom is necessary to make the room perfectly habitable after any contagious or infectious illness.

Doctors or nurses who revel in Powerful-smelling antiseptics or dis- infectants are usually unfamiliar with the fundamental technic of asepesis. People who know how to be clean, in the surgical or sanitary sense, do not feel it necessary to advertise in that way. Only the dumb ones and the charlatans inflict iodoform and sim- ilar smells on the gullible public.
