Duties of Town Boards in Con-
, tagiOuS Diseases.

| -
tagiOus Diseases.
The members Of the board of su-
| pervisors, in each town, constitute
the local board OF health, and as
such officers, it is their duty to
guard the public health, especially
as regards contagious and Infectious
diseases, and to enforce quarantine
and disinfecting regulations. Many
town boards are very neglectful of
their duties in this respect, and con-
sequently are indirectly responsible
for the spread of contagious diseas-
es in their respective communities.
Instances have been reported to US
where disease had been gotten un-
der control, yet, owing to the care
lessness of town boards in enforcing
quarantine regulations, had broken
out anew, with serious results.
Now, the law is very plain and
stringent in regard to matters per-
tanning to public health, and VIOLA
tions are punishable with heavy
fines and even Imprisonment. Local
boards OF health must not only fol-
low the directions of the state board
of health, but it is also their duty,
whenever they are informed that
there is case of small pox, scarlet
fever, diphtheria, or other conta-
gious diseases within their terrific
ry, to Immediately examine into the
facts Of the case and to make such
quarantine and sanitary regulations
as may, in their judgment, tend to
prevent the spread of said disease,
subject to modification by the state
board of health, and shall, also, i'm
mediately notify the secretary of the
state board of health of the appear
ance of such disease. ..'-.@
Any member of board of health
who neglects his duty in regard to
taking and enforcing proper quar-
antine measures is liable to fine of
not less than $25 nor more than
800. ..
Any person, also, who refuses or
neglects to comply with the order Of
any board Of health as to quarantin-
ing or disinfecting of premises, is
liable to a fine of not less than $25
nor more than $1O0 for every day he
continues to make such default.
Anyone violating the quarantine
regulations in any manner is liable
also to fine of not less than IS nor
more than $25.. The removal of in
fected persons from one house to an
other is, prohibited, nor shall any
person who has been" exposed to a
contagious disease go visiting or do
anything that may contribute to the
spread of said disease. h......
Moreover, it is the duty of every
person knowing of any person sick
with any, contagious disease to re-
port said fact Immediately. +.
T Too great watchfulness cannot be
exercised to control and prevent the
spread of contagious diseases, and
it behooves the town boards to at
tend to their duties as required by
law. %@.. @."" %.~t r

He Wanted a New Thrasher.

The old man had his trousers
tucked in his boots and a few au-
tumn leaves tucked in his hat. And
he was determined his whole man
ner showed that. ;
Look a-here,''' y he said to the
manufacturer of farming machinery,

ed the manufacturer.
|She's all clogged up and can't
run five minutes without breaking.
It's a swindle, that's what it is, and
I've, got to have my money back or

The manufacturer leaned back in
his chair and crossed his legs.
Now, hold on he said, "Of
course you took good care of it?''
.'Oiled her every time I used her. ,
And it ran all right last year?''
Yes, but this year she-'' .... .

through with it last year you pulled

of course. I put her up in a
corner of the fence near a couple of
strawstacks.
1T made a good roost for the
chickens, of course?'
20, yes; they roasted on her most
of the time.'
The manufacturer offered the far
mer cigar, lit one himself, and re-
marked:
That's always a good thing for
machine. Did the heifer kick it
much?"
Never touched her. The old bull
scratched her up little, though.
The manufacturer nodded solemn
ly and suggested that it was good
exercise for the bull. Then he asked:
Much snow fell on it?'
20, there was two foot on her at
times, replied the farmer. -
1t melted, of course?" ....,-

pose it's there now, do you?''

Yes, yes, said the manufactur-
er, as he puffed his cigar medita-
lively. "It's:strange how you Pop

GOOD SHIPPING POINT.
Bank Growing Rapidly With In
creasing Deposits.

Niles, Feb. 1.-The little town OF
Niles, a few miles west of Solomon

The town Of Niles is situated in one
Of the garden spots OF the Solomon

wards of fifty phones. No less than
twenty of the substantial farmers
around Niles enjoy the luxury of the
telephone.
There was about half a crop of wheat
raised around Niles last year. and the
two elevator have handled about $50
cars of the crop. About % cars of
com have been handled the greater
part of that raised being fed at home.
Between 50 and 90 carloads of stock
have been handled, and it is said there
are 600 to 200 head of cattle being
fed near here this winter.
One of the public spirited citizens OF
Niles is Fl. W. KuelSer, dealer in grain

RULERS OF THE WORLD.
Meat Eating Nations Are the Leaders
in Every Branch of Human
Achievement.

The ruling nations of the world are
meat eaters and history records that
they always have been.
Negetarians and food cranks may ex-
plain this IN any way they choose, but
the facts remain that the Americans,
English, French, Russians and Ger
mans are meat eating nations, and they
are also the most energetic and most
progressive.
The principal food of the heroic Boer
soldier known as Biltong, is a sort of
dried beef, affording a great deal of
nourishment in highly concentrated
form.
The weak races of people are the rice
eating Chinese, Hind0os, and Sfamese,
regarded since the dawn of history as
non progressive. superstiti0us and in
ferior physically and mentally to the
meat eating nations who dominate
them.
The structure of the teeth plainly in
dicates that human beings should sub
sist upon variety of food, meat fruit
and grains, and 1t is unhygienie to con-
fine ones diet to any one of those
classes to the exclusion of another.
Meat is the most concentrated and
most easily digested of foods. but our
manner of living is often so unnatural
that the digestive organs refuse to
properly digest meat, eggs and similar
nutritious and wholesome food. but 1t
is not because such food is unvhole-
some, but the real reason is that the
stomach lacks, from disease or weak
ness some necessary digestive element
hence arising indigestion and later on,
chronic dyspepsia
Nervous people should eat plenty of
meat, convalescents should make meat
the principal food, hard working people
have to do so and brain workers and
Office men should eat. not so much meat
but at least once a day and to insure its
perfect digestion one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets should be taken after
each meal. because they supply the
peptones. diastase and fruit acids. lack
ing in every case of stomach trouble.
Nervous dyspepsia, catarrh Of stom-
ach. gastritis, sour stomach, gas and
acidity are only different names for In
digestion, the failure to digest whole
some food and the use Of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets cures them all because
by affording perfect digestion the stom-
ach has a chance to rest and recover
its natural tone and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the real
household medicine it is as safe and
pleasant for the stomach ache OF the
+ baby as it is for the imperfect digestion
4 of its grand sire.
They are not a cathartic but q diges-
! tive and no pill habit can ever follow
their use; the only habit Stuart's Tab
+ lets induce is the habit of good digestion
and consequently good health.
