carrier, nor in any State, county, or municipal public building, nor in any public, private, or parochial school or educational institution, nor in any theater or place of amusement, nor in any hotel, lodging house, [or] restaurant, nor in any room or corridor open to the public of any hospital, sanatorium, or asylum. Common Carriers—Regulations of United States Public Health Service Relating to, Declared to be Part of State Board of Health Regulations. (Reg. Bd. of H., Jan. 7, 1920.)

REG. 27. Federal regulations adopted. All common carriers operating in the State of North Dakota, whether engaged in interstate or intrastate business, or both, shall comply with the regulations of the U. S. Public Health Service made and promulgated for the control of common carriers engaged in interstate business, and the regulations made by the said U. S. Public Health Service are hereby declared to be a part of these regulations of the State Board of Health of North Dakota.

Insanitary Conditions-Removal or Correction. (Reg. Bd. of H., Jan. 7, 1920.)

REG. 26. (a) Each health officer must investigate whenever and wherever he has reason to suspect that any insanitary condition, dangerous to public health, exists within his district, and if such insanitary condition is found to exist he shall order its removal within a specified time by a written notice served on the owner or agent of the property whereon such insanitary condition exists; and if said owner or agent shall fail to remove or remedy such insanitary condition within the time specified in such written notice, the health officer shall bring the matter to the attention of the county attorney and, if necessary, file a complaint against such owner or agent for maintaining an insanitary condition dangerous to public health and in violation of the regulations of the State board of health.

Industrial Camps-Location and Sanitary Regulation. (Reg. Bd. of H., Jan. 7, 1920.)

REG. 76. Hereafter contractors and other persons who may establish an industrial camp or camps for the purpose of logging or any like industry, or for the purpose of construction of any road, railroad, or irrigation canal, or other work, or any other temporary or permanent industrial camp of whatsoever nature, shall report to the State health official concerning the location of such camp or camps, and shall arrange such camp or camps in a manner approved by the State health official, so as to maintain good sanitary conditions, and shall at all times keep such camp or camps in a sanitary condition satisfactory to the State health official.

REG. 77. Camps should be established upon dry, well-drained ground. REG. 78. Any natural sink holes or collections or pools of water should be artificially drained and filled when the camp is first established.

REG. 79. The general scheme of the relation of the structures of the camps should be as follows: Stable and kitchen should be at the opposite ends of the camp and separated by a distance as great as consistent with the natural topography of the land and with the necessity for convenient access to the stables.

REG. 80. Eating houses should be next to the kitchen, and beyond the eating houses should come the bunk houses, and between the bunk houses and the stables the toilets for the men in the camp.

REG. 81. The use of the toilets provided for the men should be made obligatory, and instant discharge of any employees polluting the soil must be rigidly enforced to make such rules effective.

REG. 82. A small temporary incinerator should be constructed near the stables. Incinerators capable of doing effective work can be constructed for not over $25 sufficient to care for all the refuse of a camp of 150 men and stables of 10 to 12 horses.

REG. 83. There must be in camps of 100 men or over one employee whose particular duty should be acting as scavenger and garbage collector.

REG. 84. All manure should be gathered and burned each day, and for the convenience of the collector should be thrown into a tightly covered box.

REG. 85. All fecal matter should be treated in the same way or else treated in some other approved manner. Collection and incineration is the safest in the long run and the easiest method by making use of the removable pan which can be freshly limed.

REG. 86. The kitchen and eating house in particular should be effectively screened. It is also desirable to have this done for the bunk houses.

REG. 87. All garbage should be collected in tight cans and incinerated daily along with the manure and other rubbish.

REG. 88. Noninflammable refuse, such as tin cans, should be collected daily and placed in a deep earth pit and covered with a light covering of earth each day or covered with oil and burned over.

REG. 89. All urinals should consist of open trenches lined with quick lime, and fresh quick lime should be added in the proportion of one-half barrel per day per 100 men.

REG. 90. All food supplies should be carefully screened.

REG. 91. Thorough and systematic scrubbing of kitchens and eating houses, and to a less extent bunk houses, should be regularly insisted upon.

REG. 92. The supply of water for the camp should be carefully decided upon, and wherever possible, if the camp is to remain for several weeks, it is well to run it in pipes from an absolutely uncontaminated source.

REG. 93. All sick from whatever cause should be isolated from the remainder of the crew immediately.

REG. 94. All persons engaged in the care of the premises and handling of the food, particularly cooks and helpers, should be carefully examined and particular attention paid to the point as to whether or not they have suffered from typhoid fever within recent years.

REG. 11 [Definitions]—Contact.-A "contact" or an exposed person is any person known to have been sufficiently near to an infected person to have been exposed to the transfer of infectious material directly, or exposed to articles freshly soiled with such infectious material.

Disinfection. This term signifies the destruction of disease-producing organisms by chemical agents, liquid or gaseous, or their destruction by cleansing or other physical agents.

Concurrent disinfection is the application of disinfection immediately after the discharge of infectious material from the body of an infected person, or the immediate application of disinfection to articles soiled with such infectious material.

Terminal disinfection indicates the process of rendering the personal clothing and the immediate physical environment (the room or the house, as the case may be) of the patient free from the possibility of conveying the infection to others when the patient has died or recovered and is no longer a source of infection.

Cleansing. This term signifies the removal, by scrubbing or other mechanical means, of organic material on which and in which disease-producing organisms find favorable conditions for prolonging life and virulence; also the removal by the same means of bacteria adherent to surfaces.

Quarantine. This term signifies that procedure affecting both the patient and his environment which is intended to prevent the spread of the infection to others. Quarantine includes: (1) Isolation of the patient; (2) contact control; (3) impounding of infected material.

Isolation. This term signifies the isolation from susceptible persons of actual cases of communicable disease, or known carriers of infecting organisms, in such places and under such conditions as will prevent the direct or indirect conveyance of the infectious agent to such susceptible persons.

Contact control.-By contact control is meant such restraint of exposed persons as will prevent such persons from infecting others should they develop the disease to which they have been exposed.

Impounding of infected material.―This term signifies the control of possibly infected inanimate material in the immediate environment of the patient until it shall have been disinfected.
