NEW LONG DISTANCE LINES.
Ottumwa Telephone Company Will
Build a Series OF New Toll Lines.
From Wednesdays Daily.


Attorney W. w. Epps, manager of
the Ottumwa Telephone company, re-
turned this morning from Chicago,
where he had been in company with
Cyrus Martin, vice president of the
company, for the purpose of purchas.
ing supplies and equipments for the
local exchange. Mr.. Martin did not
return to Ottumwa with Mr.. Epps, but
went on to his home at Unionville,
Ohio.
Mr.. Epps, when seen by Courier
reporter this afternoon relative to
what his company will do in regard ITO
building new toll lines, said that the
Ottumwa company would have a long
distance toll line system in operation
before the snow flies. The Ottumwa
Telephone company, he said, had
started in to give their patrons good
service at reduced rates, and they will
carry out those intentions.
1t will be remembered that the OF
tumwa Telephone company recently
sold its interest in the plant of the OF
tulnwa Long Distance Telephone com
pany to Hart F. Farwell. who pur-
chased the entire plant. Recently Mr..
Farwell moved from the office of the
Ottumwa Telephone company to that
of the Bell Telephone company, which
arrangement left the former without
any long distance service -whatever
According to Mr.. Epps' statement to-
day that condition will not last long
as the new long distance toll lines will
be built at once.

TO PREVENT DISEASE.
Timely Suggestions by City Physician
j. II. Herrick.

j. II. Herrick.
From Tuesdays Daily.
DIR. j. +. Herrick, city physician to
the board of health, in presenting hix
monthly report to the board last even
ing prefaced it with extended remarks
on the necessity of guarding against
contagious and infectious diseases. In
his report, which was published in
last Fridays issue OF the Courier, there
were fifteen cases of typhoid fever un-
der the head OF communicable dis
eases, and the doctor stated last even
ing that he was quite certain that at
least three or four cases have develop
cd within the last few days. He at
tributed this condition to improper
sanitation and a lack OF the observ-
ance of hygienic laws. The physicians
of the city could, in great measure,
prevent the spread of this disease by
giving advice where it is necessary,
and the people themselves can pre-
vent it by observing precautions such
as cleaning their wells or taking every
care to purify their supply of drinking
water.
DR.. Herrick also spoke to some eN-
tent upon the necessity of having every
scholar in the public schools, as well
as every person in town, whether old
or young, vaccinated within the next
few days. The matter OF vaccination.
is most important. and in this case
should be imperative. The power of
the state board of health in this re-
spect is limitless, and there is chap
ter in the statute which provides that
every child attending public schof
shall be able to show to the school ar,
thorities a certificate from a reliable
physician stating that they have been
properly vaccinated within reason
ably recent period, and that they are
| immune from contagious diseases. The
matter in regard to compelling the vac
cination OF children in the public
schools will be taken up with the
school board at once.

Good Now. for Our headers.

Who have scrofula taints in their
blood, and who has not? Scrofula in
all its forms is cured by Hoods Sar-
saprilla which thoroughly purifies the
blood. This disease, which frequently
appears in children, is greatly to be
dreaded. 1t is most likely to affect the
glands of the neck, which become en-
larged, ernptions appear on the head
and face, and the eyes are frequently
affected. Upon its first appearance,
perhaps in slight eruptions or pimples,
scrofula should be entirely eradicated
from the system by thorough course
of Hoods Sarsaparilla to prevent all
the painful and sickening consequences
of running scrofula sores which drain
the system, sap the strength and make
existence utterly wretched.
