OFFICIAL.
THO THE PUBLIC.

In pursuance of resolution passed by the
City Council Janusry IA, 1896, immediate
steps will be taken to ward off what might
possibly prove an epidemic of scarlet fever in
Alexandria So far as known the cases are
sporadic now. but all coed people must realize
the importance of combining the disease as
much as possible and to use every endeavor to
eliminate it from our midst. In order to &C.
complish this call on all well disposed peo-
pie in whose households this disease may ap-
pear to see that we'll children are kept from
schools and other gatherings, and also ont of
neighbors' and other houses until all danger of
transmitting the disease is passed, and that
wherever the disease exists that as much pub
Lefty as possible be given of the fact In the
meantime DR. Miller, Health Officer, and my
self will formulate plans which we trust will
eliminate the much dreaded disease, and
doubtless the measures will be of nature
seemingly arbitrary and radical, but which
must eventually be approved by all when the
safety of the community is considered.
