After an hours fun in masque,
supper was announced, and the
gentlemen went forth to choose
their partners which proved a
rather difficult problem. The

and many other things suitable
for halloween were used in decor
ating.
The supper was one OF the
most elaborate ever spread, con-
sisting OF dainties Of every dis

was awarded to Bessie Grier,
who wore the most comical Co.'S

was spent in music, games and
a good time was enjoyed by all.
The Militerrean club presented
Miss Phifer with a beautiful SOU
venir spoon, and Mr.. Miller q
silver shaving mug.
The young people departed at
an early hour in the morning,
thanking Mrs. Wilson and Miss
Marshall for one al the merriest
times Of the season.

To the Public:

To the Public:
While there is absolutely hothlng
but what is easily controlled by prop
er measures. your calm consideration
and earnest, honest support OF these
measures is necessary to at once
stamp out the disease from your
midst If you will not do so, you
must expect the disease to drag
along as it has done. here case and
there another. and your little ones
may be the next to suffer for your
carelessness, and perhaps you left to
lifelong mourning for your
criminal neglect. Better to offer a
temporary offense-if so 1t be to the
thoughtless-to your friend or neigh
Dor or to suffer quarantine your
self than to think that you have been
the cause of communicating n seri-
Gus disease to another and perhaps
the cause of his death.
Should Report Sickness.
Every case of sore throat. every
case of i'll feeling in children, as long
as the disease is in town. should at
once be shown to your physician. DO
not wait for the appearance of a
rash. Remember that the milde5t
cases are the worst for spreading the
disease, and also that they may be
followed by the most serious and ev-
en- fatal consequences.
Obey the Orders.
Submit willingly to the regulations
for they are absolutely essential
Never allow cats, dogs or other pets
to come near any case of the trou-
BILE, and be particular to see that all
toys, books, etc, are carefully disin-
fected, or better burned, after the
disease. Offer every assistance to
the thorough disinfection of every
thing in the house after case of
scarlet fever has been in It. Ask
your physician to give explicit direc-
tions as to the isolatioH of sick and
well, and how best to avoid contain
mating carpets, rugs, draperies, bed
ding, clothing, etc. Keep children
under school age at home. Do not
allow them on the streets or in pub

months away from houses in which

ONLY 35 CASES
IN WHOLE CITY
Slaement Issued by the Mesa County Medical Society
Confirmed the Contention Of The Sentinel that There is
no Epidemic Prevailing Here-The Physicians Give
Some Valuable and Timely Advice to the People.

me Sentinel's contention that
lhere mas never at any time been an
epidemic of scarlet fever in Grand
junction is fully confirmed in a
statement issued last night to the
people the city officials and the phy-
Society. - al
In this statement it is announced
ny the physicians that there are not
over 80 cases of scarlet fever in the
community, and that the stories to
the effect that there is a vast number
of cases are absurd.
This should put an end to the eff
forts of certain local newspaper
to spread abroad reports to the eff
tect that Grand Junction is literal
ly oyerrIn With an epid emic Of scar
let fever, these reports being pub
lished in its own columns and sent
abroad to outside papers by the To-
cal morning paper simply to provide
sensational reading and for the pur-
pose of rejecting as much discredit
as possible on the city officials whom
the paper seeks to constantly attack
There Is no question but what the
malady is gradually dying out in the
this week as there were last week.
and there We're not as many cases
last week as there were the week
before. Never at any time has there
been more than forty cases at one
time in the entire city or immediate
vicinity.
An excellent indication of the COLI
stantly improving condition is the
fact that the daily attendance at the
city schools, greatly lessened for a
time by the presence of the malady
in various homes. is practically nor
NAL again. The daily attendance ex-
ceeds now by about $50 pupils the
daily attendance of two weeks ago.
The quarautines are being rigidly
enforced as far as possible and the
officers are constantly on the watch
for violations of the regulations.
The statement issued by the Mesa
County Medical Society is very inter
esting and contains much valuable
advice that will lead to the complete
disappearance of the malady. Mayor
Wentworth had asked the society to
give expression of its views and make
whatever recommendations 1t con-
sidered best.
Many of the suggestions made by
the society it would be well for all
the people to observe at all times,
These suggestions apply to general
health conditions to a large extent.
The statement of the Mesa Coun-
ty Medical Society follows:

cases can be cared for, or any other
that might be desirous of relieving
his home of the presence of contag-
ion, so that no hotel, rooming or
boarding house shall harbor such
cases.
Fifth - Discontinue the fatally
short-sighted and penurious policy of
paying an absurd pittance to the city
physician and expecting him to
throw aside his practice and livon-
hood to make up for the shortccm-
ings of others.

per cent,
The Causes Given.

this society that, owing to the regu-

the school board. and so efficiently
executed by the teachers, school
children are far safer in school than
