Changes in Quarantine Regulations.
Zone word as to quarantine. Hereto
ore the bread winner of the family
had the privilege of going in and out.
Now the state board requires that
when quarantine is established, the
bread winner must be quarantined IN
or out, and the attending physician is
the only one to go in and out unless

signed by the mayor or township clerk
as the case may be.
Physicians Must Obey Rules.
physicians must cover their cloth
ing with proper suit or gown before
entering the premises. and on leaving

hands and face with disinfectant.
"Any physician who fails to carry
out any of the above provisions may
be complained of by the mayor, and
on investigation the state board may
revoke his right to practice.
