TO STOP SPREAD Of DISEASE
Public Printer to Be Notified When
Contagious Complaint Is Found
in Employees House.

Employees of the government printing
Office will hereafter have no fear Of con-
tracing diphtheria. scarlet fever or small
pox from association with other workerA
Public Printer Donnelly recently request
ed Health Officer Woodward to notify him
whenever an employe Of the big printery
was a resident OF a house in which such
a case was located.
Health Oficer Woodward replied that he
would be pleased to SO notify the public
printer. and announced that orders had
a G. p o. worker was concerned. DR..
Woodward also took occasion to refer to
your very efficient and energetic medical
and sanitary officer. DIR. William j. Man
Ming" a compliment echoed by many Of
the employees of the big printery.
DR.. Woodward directed attention to the
element of danger existing In the neces-
sarily intimate grouping Of workers IN the
printing ONCE: It was this phase Of the
question which led Public p inter Dom
nelly to endeavor to effect a working rels-
ton with the District health Office.
Practice May Be Extended.
1t is expected that other departments OF
the government service will also take up
this important matter. Hopes e ex
pressed that eventually a notification will
be sent to the place Of employment, public
or private. Of every worker living In
house containing an infectious disease.
The assertion Is made that this method
will prove more ehicaciouS In protecting
the public than the present system OF
quarantine.
EMPLOYEES OF the government printing
office are not remunerated when quaran-
tined at their homes. This clause was
stricken from the act giving full pay to
those injured in line of duty. Medical Dr.
rector Manning hopes to be able to pre-
sent the fact this winter so that Congress
will also include guaranteed workers in
the list Of those entitled to full pay.
Recent Sanitary Measures.
Recent sanitary measures instituted BY
Public Printer Donneily include the in
stallation of large Thermometers in each
workroom of the big printery. This action
enables the section chief to maintain
the temperature at a steady average.
Heretofore there has always been consid-
cradle contention between the ''cold-air
fends'' and the 'hot-air artists as to
a proper temperature for the workrooms
With q Thermometer to serve as an ON
cial guide the overseers will find their
task easier, II is said.
Medical Director Manning has devised
a window shield which permits the pas
sage of air without a direct draft through
the room. and il sexpected that IL
will be adopted for the entire building.
In the binding divisions particularly the
air Is soon mixed with the odors or glue,
paste and old leather and paper. and here
the new window shields have been tried
with good results. The use In the type
setting machine divisions will also be
generally approved. as the molten metal
is very offensive and sometimes said to -
unhealthYul.

From the tone of the editorials in the
London morning papers Lord Rosebery's
remarkable Grafton, which from rhetor-
teal viewpoint Is universally lauded. is
likely to have small effect on the atti-
tude Of the peers. Rosebery is dubbed
the Hamlet OF British politics. and his
characteristic infirmity of purpose is re-
garded as having received another strik-
ing illustration.
The proposal. which he made half Sc
riousiy in the course Of his speech, that
the house of lords should delegate 150
of the most distinguished peers to vote
on I.ansdowne's motion. as being meth
cd more likely to impress the country
than a large vote OF a heterogeneous
gathering of peers, many Of whom have
no claim to distinction and but seldom
attend the debates, Is commented upon
almost with ridicule.

 w. w. Wotherspoon ot the John Ar buckle wrecking company. who had charge of the work of raising the cruiser Yankee, is now figuring on the probable damage to the Republic,
 We have been looking for G.ep water job for some time,' he said and s steamer wrecked in the Klon- dike region was first to come under consideration. The Republic affords lust the opportunity perhaps, to demonstrate the method. The steamer is certainly worth saving.

AUTOS AT A COYOTE DRIVE.
California Hunt Not as Successful as
 Had Been Hoped For.

A large crowd of San Joaquin couir ty residents assembled at the Bol' finger ranch, in the eastern part of the county, and enjoyed a coyote drive, which was not as destructive as the people of that district hoped for, as the animals kept out of siSAt and only a few were killed. Of laes the coyotes have been killing sheep, pigs and chickens The scarcity of dead animals has caused the coyotes to invade the ranches and give the farmer a lot of trouble. As a general rule, these animals seldom attack stock, but when driven to staryatisa they become bold.
 It was with the hope that a large number would be killed that a geAsral invitation was extended to the psonhs to assemble and make a roundup. All kinds of vehicles, from the old faAA toned top buggy to the latest h a. tomobiles, were in evidence. aaG many men appeared on horseback and join ed the chase One drive was made in the forenoon and another in the aft ernoon, lunch being served between the two trips. Later another effort will be made to exterminate the trouble some animals.

 The trees it was thought would bring comfort When they grew up they certainly did afford grateful shel' ter, but certain green caterpillar al. 50 made them it's home. The insect not only destroys the foliage, but it Frequently drops down upon those passing by, stinging the unlucky per ,cn. The sting Is as venUmous as that sf the wasp.
