CITY BOARD OF HEALTH
ABOOT SPANISH "INFLU"
a
The Langdon city board of feealth
requests the people of Langdon to
help them prevent an epidemic of in
fluenza in this locality, by the using
of the following precautions:
Cover up the sneeze and cough
with a handkerchief, as the main
travel of infection is by the infected
droplets of sputum.
Avoid overcrowding or public gath
erings a» much as possible
Obtain plenty of rest and freeh air
Anti septic solution to be used as
a gargle and nasal douche may be
obtained at the drug store, and you
will be instructed how to use them.
A person taken sick with influenza,
feels sick rather suddenly. He feels
weak, has pains in the eyes, ears,
head or back, and may be sore all
over. Many patients feel dizzy and
may vomit. Most of the patients
complain of being chilly, and with
this comes a fever, in which the. tem
perature rises to 100 to 104.
The patient looks sick, the eyes are
bloodshot, there is a running of the
nose &nd sneezing and coughing. If
you are suspicious of any member of
your family or yourself report to
your physician, and if he verifies your
suspicion remain in your house and
use double precaution against infect
ing others.
Towels, dishes and other articles
used by the patient should be kept
seperate* from those of other mem
bers of the family.
Patients should be kept isolated
for a period of one week, following
the decline of the feyer.
It is well for the nurse to wear a
gauze mask, over the face while at
tending the patient.

LANQDON, NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, OCOTBER 10, 1918
Chairman Sillers
Warns Slackers
Non-Buyers of Liberty Bo nd
Issue Will be Blacklisted
Unless They Dig
To Newspapers in Cavalier County.—
For the purpose of prosecution of
the war the government of the United
States has made a bond issue of
,000,000,000, and it is asking
the people of this country to either
buy bonds or loan to the government
this amount, a:sd in order that it
might be fairly distributed it has al
lotted to each federal reserve district
a certain portion of the loan, the al
lotment being based on a careful es
timate of the financial ability of each
district to buy. The district in turn
using the same care, have allloted to
the different states their propor
tionate share, the states alloting to
the different states their proportion
ate share, the states allotting to the
counties, the counties to the town
ships and the townships ta the indi
viduals. Under this plan it is not
po33sible
that any individual is over
alloted.
Cavalier counties share of the loan
is $775,000, which may seem a
large amount, but it i3 not out of
proportion compared with other coun
ties in the state and is not more than
the county is well able to buy. The
county has the best money crop in
the history of the county, many man I
ai-e rich and there are none but what
are in reasonable circumstances and
there is no reason why we should not
he able to subscribe our full piloted
enuiunt. In mo.it cases men have
taken willingly their alloted amount
and in some cases have over subscrib
ed, but there are a few men in the
county, who seem to think they have
no right to subscribe and are refus
ing to take any of the bands, and to
these men I wish to say that the
time has come when their neighbors
and the people generally should know
who is with the government and who
is not. The man at this time, who
is not willing to help his government
is a slacker and iB to be compared
only with the Hun, and from this
date I will make it my business to
gather the names of all such men and
have their names published, in order
that the public may ostracize them
from Bociety and treat them with the
contempt and distrust that they are
entitled to. Very Truly,
Archie Sillers
Chairman Cavalier County Liberty
Loan Committee.
P. S.—This is
rnotice
to all dis­
trict and county chairmen to send me
a list of all the men, who have re
fused to buy their allofnent.
A "MOTHER OF FRAKOE"
SENDS WORDS OF CHEER
Mr. and Mrs Joseph LePire, were
greatly relieved to receive news of
their son, Jne, who is now in France,
doing his bit for the good old U. S.
A. They hpd received no new since
he went across last May and had be
gun to feel quite anxious when they
received the following letter, which
BO
thoroughly shows the manner in
which the Mothers of France regard
the Mothers of A-nerica:
LaCelle, August 17, 1918
Madam:—I have not the pleasure
of knowing you, but I am happy to
tell you that your dear child is in
good health. Fe stayed with us a
part of the day yesterday, and we
gave him some good things. He will
write to you as soon as he can. For
several days he has been making long
marches and is a little tired as it is
very warm. He left here this morn
ing for a rest I believe.
Receive, madam, for yourself and
family the sympathy of a French
mother.

INDUCT TO NAVY AND MARINE
The local draft board has received
notice from Provost Marshal General
Crowder, that within a short time
they will be called upon to induct
men into the navy and marine ser
vice. It is expected that a call will
be received within a short'time. This
is a new departure in this work, as
heretofore draft boards have been
called upon to induct men into the
army servicc only.

"THE GIRL HE COULDN'T BUY"
AT AUDITORIUM MONDAY EVE
"The Girl He Couldn't Buy." A
good play well acted and of command
ing interest Xo all sorts of people,
will often tell things thatneed telling
but which the average employer,
parent, teacher, pastor or friend can
not or will not tell to those most in
need of the information,—"The Girl
He Couldn't Buy,'' which comes to
Langdon on Monday, October 14th is
a play of intense interest in which
brilliant dialogue, rashing climaxes,
scintillant humor and exquisite pa
those combine to make an essentially
fine evening's entertainment. The
great mental and moral lesson of this
great play is c«3ply interwoven in a
fabric of beautiful, clean and thrill
ing triumph, but the lesson is there,
strong without preaching and ines
capable without obtruding itself.
"The Girl He Couldn't Buy" will
make you laugh perhaps weep—but
it will also make you think and
whether you be ycung or old, a man
or a woman, bey. or a girl, this
strangely captivating story will
please while it edifies ou to the end
that you will have a new and bright
er view of your dqty towards others
in the great scheme of making your
own life happy. In it the young
will see and hear that which their
parents ought to tell and show them
and in it the elder folks will find
those very utterances they should
wish their children to witness and
remember. Clean, powerful, im
pressive, witty and bringing with it
the endorsement of thinking people
a3 well as the applause of thousands
who saw it in New York. "The
Girl He Couldn't Buy" is an attrac
tion that is well worth the attendance
of every alert theater-goer.
Auction Sale of Philip Smith
The Philip Smith sale, to be held
at the owner's farm a mile west of
Wales on Wednesday of next week,
the 16th inst is one of those for
which bills have been printed in the
past week. It will be one of the lar
gest and best equipped farm outfits
to be offered to sale buyers in the
vicinity of Wales this fall, as the
only reason that Mr. Smith is renting
his land and retiring from farming is
his continued poor health and the
fact that both of his boys are away
from home at the tront. The Smiths
came to this county about eight
years ago from Illinois and are mov
ing into Wales for the winter. Auc
tioneer Kieffer conducts the sale
which starts at one o'clock in the af
ternoon. See bills for list ot prop
erty to be sold and other details.
iss Constance Stadle arrived from
Winnipeg yesterday for a week or
ten days vacation visit at her home
in this city.

Olga Young Man
Dies Gamp Grant
Son of Peter Dunigan of Olga
Spanish Influenza Victim
During the Week
A telegram received laBt Tuesday
by Mr. and Mrs. Peter Dunnigan, of
the Beaulieu settlement near Olga,
announced the death of their son
Edgar, who left last month with
others of the August draft quota for
Camp Grant, Illinois, The message
received gave no particulars as to the
cause of this sudden death of their
son, but no doubt it was due to the
epidemic of Spanish influenza that
for the past month haa gradually been
spreading through the military can
tonments over the whole United
States. Arrangements have been
made for the shipping of the body
home for burial and it is expected to
arrive at Walhalla on tomorrow's
train.
Those who have boys who have
answered their country's call know
that at any time they may receive
similar news, and although hoping
for the best, we must be prepared to
hear that perhaps our boy has been
called upon to make the supreme sac
rifice. When such news comes it
strikes hard and while honoring the
brave boy who has given his life for
his country, as friends and neighbors
we also deeply sympathize with the
parents who will feel the loss so sud
denly placed upon them.

MAIL BALLOTS BEFORE OCT. 12
"All orders for ballots for soldiers
and sailors must be in the office in
time that the office may send out the
ballots on October 12," County Au
ditor Ole J. Eide says. The names
and addresses of the men must ac
company the request, and every per
son who has a relative or near friend
in the service who bas., pot a ballot
should see that he «gets one Mr.
Eide declares.
By a law passed last year, all
men in the service have the right to
vote, but many of them have not ad
vised the board of their names and
addreBsses, some through neglect,
and others through ignorance.
Bring in that job of printing for
first class work.
