They state their position quite frankly. The use of “white coal” in Generating power will curtail the de- mand for black coal. Not only that, but cheap electricity from such a wource would reduce the volume of foal consumed for other purposes. If ‘electricity were cheap enough, we ould use it for heating our homes end buildings, just as gas is being used in this and some other favorab- fy-situated sections of the country. In readjusting the current scheme ©f things this factor should be con- Gidered. And yet, the cry is as old @s the advance of modern machinery and manufacturing methods. England suffered from an upheaval, based on this same principle, 100 years ago ‘when the power loom was introduced into its spinning industry. But while the coal miners fight the Battle on this front they lose on enother. Review of the run of the Burlington railroad’s new speed train from Denver to Chicago, for example, discloses that it traveled 1,017 miles in 13 hours at an average speed of 78 miles an hour, The coal people will cheer that. What they will not cheer is news that the fuel of! for the Diesel motors cost only $14.88, whereas the fuel cost for a regular steam train would have been about $255. ‘That adoption of such trains will improve railroad service no one will deny. That they will have an effect upon the coal industry of as much dimportance as the proposed hydro- electric developments is also obvious, for the railroads are the largest users of coal in the country. It may be hard on the coal indus- try, as the miners and operators sug- gest, but whether this fact will halt Such an advancement is doubtful, The Quintuplets Live Few things stress the advancements which have been made in medical 6cience quite so strongly as the fact that those Canadian quintuplets still live. In the past, doubtless, similar bio- fogical phenomena have occurred, but there is no case on record where the progeny lived. In this case we have a country physician keeping glive five tiny babes who, in the not ®0 distant past, would have had @cant chance of survival. But it is strictly in tune with the times that this should be so, for ach three years of the twentieth cen- tury has added approximately a year to the life expectancy of the average ewborn baby. Responsibility for this statement fests with the medical department of a great insurance company which @nalyzes vital statistics as a guide to its business. It is true that this authority credits most of the gain to the reduction in tuberculosis mortality and to the prac- tical elimination of diphtheria, but there are also a thousand additional geasons. Sanitation has improved. Knowledge of infant feeding and of edult diet has been broadened. Medi- cal and surgical aids have been in- vented and improved, and general knowledge has increased. It is all s part of the advancement of civilization. Had similar progress been made in solving our troublesome E i Fil ! HT J ri yet what it ought to be, but the fields are green again. Under the benefi- cent influence of water, North Da- kota blooms once more. Even some fields of wheat, seeded but dormant during the drouth, have come to life and their owners, while not confident, are hopeful that some of the grain may mature. The prospective income from cash | grain crops is materially reduced but | the cattle situation already is marked- ly improved and there is hope that we will be able to solve much of our forage problem. ; In short, North Dakota is coming back. Give this country rain and | there is no grander place on all of | God's footstool. A Good Idea “Individual firms and motoring groups are advocating a slogan for the motorist which, if it “takes,” may do much to eliminate accidents on the highways. It is “stop five min- utes in every hour.” It is based on recognition of the fact that carbon monoxide gas dulls the senses and that some of this dead- ly product accumulates in almost every automobile while in operation. Usually it is not enough to be no- ticeable, but it is sufficient to dull the senses of the driver just enough to make him incapable of meeting em- ergencies with the full power of his faculties. Tests conducted on automobiles in Massachusetts showed that most of the cars selected at random contained carbon monoxide in appreciable quan- tities. A fair percentage contained it to such an extent as to endanger the health of the occupant and dull his mental and physical processes. Such a condition, of course, is not only a menace to the man who is the unsuspecting victim but to others whom he may meet on the highway. By stopping five minutes, with the motor shut off, the gas could be clear- ed from the car and the driver re- THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1984 Tragedy in Three Acts WE MIGHT AS WELL MAKE THIS FELLOW DICTATOR. HELL GET CONTROL OF THE freshed. The idea seems a good one, for it is obvious that the human ele- ment is most to blame for our high accident ratio. In North Dakota, for example, rail- road grade crossings were held to be the major cause of accidents only a few years ago. Most of these now have been eliminated but the death toll mounts higher and higher. It is time that we look within our- selves for the cause of accidents, rather than continue to blame them on external factors—and stop five minutes out of every hour on the road.

The Test Is Before Us (Fargo Forum) When William Langer addressed a Fargo audience Monday evening he avoided all reference to the imposing array of facts, developed against him in his recent trial in the United States Court, by declaring that he was barred from discussion of those things that had to do with the charges upon which he had been convicted. Probably that is Mr, Langer’s only way out, so far as the people of North Dakota are concerned, but his attitude is in marked contrast with his free discussion of the charges prior to his trial. and while the charges were pending. Then he was ready to dis- cuss them and did discuss them from many a political platform, The facts that were revealed in his Bismarck trial, however, are such as to make defense of his record impos- sible and he must of necessity con- fine himself to the more or less veiled contention that, after all, his troubles arise from supposed machinations on the part of “corporations” and such like, His troubles he would lay to the doors of utilities, newspapers that have not supported him, to other ele- ments out of tune with his adminis- tration, As a matter of fact, nobody but Mr. Langer is responsible for his troubles. He pleaded in the United States Court, that the whole scheme for the ex- traction of money from the pockets of public employes was his own; that he thought it up while he was sick abed in the early weeks of his tenure of office, and that it was carried out under his direction, Thereafter, Mr. Langer admitted on the witness stand that he had person- ally taken more than $19,000 out of the funds of the North Dakota Lead- er and had transferred them to his Personal account, pretending to the Court and to the jury that the Non- Partisan League “owed” him more than $21,000, and that he was collect- ing this imaginary debt through the newspaper and through the levy on employes.

ILIAC SUBLUXATION |belt adapted to wear well below the A metropolitan physician writes: Your article. “Iliac Subluxa- tion” was timely. I have reduced three of them this week and I see about that many cases every week. The cause of the subluxation is so trivial in many instances that it is hardly believable. It is in- deed astonishing that so few or- thopedic men are familiar with the simple method of treatment and resort to more strenuous methods which give less satisfac+. tory results. I should be happy to show you our procedure some day if you care to see it, Doctor Brady. More power to your out- standing, vigorous, fearless and unbiased articles, Along with that came a letter from an osteopath who seconds my motion that the regular physicians and the legally qualified osteopaths cease their petty bickering and get together and teach each other a few things both ought to know. This osteopathic fel- ler must be a pretty good sport, too, for he refers to a previous letter he wrote me and my answer, in which I gave him hail Columbia for his trick letterhead, which informed the world that he is a doctor but gave no clue to the brand of his affectation—might have been a dentist or a veterinary physician or a pastor or a spectacle fitter or a spine tickler or goodness knows what. This time the osteopath has his letterhead printed plainly lenough John Doe, Osteopathic Physi- clan and Surgeon. ‘The funny name, iliac subluxation, probably doesn’t mean much to the lay reader. It is in the nature of a strain, sprain or slight dislocation of the junction between the base of the spine (sacrum) and the wing of the pelvic or hip bone, ilium, and so it is sometimes called sacro-iliac strain or sprain, The unbelievably trivial cause re- ferred to by the physician may be merely leaning over to pick up some; thing from the floor, say the baby, or @ sudden wrench as in pumping & tire—any slight sudden effort while bending over. The immediate effect is the most exquisite crick in the back, and if the victim dares to move at all he usually does 80 as though he were ppsing for the art for a kidney pill ad. Women ‘are most likely to suffer this disability or a less sudden con- stant back lameness and disability from sacro iliac relaxation following childbirth, The important part of treatment is first, récognition of the nature of the disability, second reduction of dis- location by manipulation and then waist around the hips. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Ephedrine Began taking your calcium lactate two weeks before my regular hay fever season, but without avail. Con- tinued two weeks after the hay fever started but the hay fever increased in severity. Then tried ephedrine in capsules and found immediate relief. Took two capsules daily for four weeks and occasionally had to take one at night, but it gave me the most comfortable season I’ve known for} mahy years. The ephedrine is reason- able in price, too, compared with most, nostrums. (J. N.) Answer—It is all right, only be sure you do not get ephedrine ‘com- pound,” which means other medicines, Possibly unsafe ones, added to the ephedrine. Calcium Lactate Taking calcium lactate as recom- mended by you for hay fever helped | me a lot last season, and several of my friends Who did not take it had attacks as hard as ever. (E. L. M., New York.) i Answer—Now if we knew the speci- | fic cause in your case and the speci- fic cause in the case of J. N. of Wis- consin, we might begin to understand something.
