The man who would expect to gather
roasting ears the next day after plant
ing his corn is no more unreasonable
than those who expect to see returned
prosperity before the tariff bill is passed
Nothing so unsettles business as the
pendency OF tariff measure affecting
importations OF articles OF all classes.
The manufacturer is unable to enter
intel iligently upon manufacturing oper-
ations and the dealer is utterly unable
to place orders with the manufacturer
until the rates OF duty upon goods are
determined. Thus there can De no
activity in manufacturing lines until
the tariff bill becomes a law, and with
out activity in these lines the prosperity
which other industries would feel
therefrom OF course cannot be realized.

to the following synopsis Of a portion
Of Sec. 8, Chapter 50, Of the Code Of

ticing physician, in any county where

port promptly all or any diseases of a
contagious, infectious, or epidemic
character under treatment by him,
and said local board shall report the
same to the State Board, etc.
In addition to the foregoing, the
principal and teachers OF the public
schools should be notified, and the at
tendance at school by children, from
families wherein such cases are sus-
pected or under treatment, peremptor-
lily interdieted until the physician in
attendance decides and gives notice

the unnecessary 1ntermingling Of
neighbors and other members of the
family and jndiciously use disintec-
tants and fumigations under advice
OF the doctor in charge.
BY attention to this important mat
ter, valuable statistical information
will be furnished to the State, and
the prevention and spread of conta-
gious diseases, when present, reduced
10 a minimum. S. n MYERS,
