tremely contagious diphtheria is they will be
more careful how they subject their children
to the dangers of it. We heard of a case this
week where the disease was carried from one
school to another by the removal of some furni-
ture. Better burn furniture, clothing, books,
ETC., than take any such risk in the hope of saw
ing few dollars. 1t is very poor economy to
take any such chances.
Judging from what we see of automo-
billing on the public roads we should say that
there are few who use these machines but vio-

Indeed, they seem to pay no attention what

get them into trouble sooner or later. Police
Marshal STREET. has received positive orders re-
garding these violations and he will make an
effort to see that the law is observed.

ness"
