Society Talk.

More Brides this fall than ever
Marriage seems to be the subject of
mary social talk in the ladies gather
ings and at one Of them the list Of an
nounced or as good as announced were
named, and the list of our young society
ladies who this fall will start to make
happy homes is much larger than it has
been for many fall. We wish we
only dared publish the list as looked
over. Some of them are secrets ex-
cept to a select few. others are openly
wearing that tell-tale signal, while
several will be a surprise to society
circles. Some of the girls have &C
knowledged the whispers, while others
put a finger to their lips and say Nuns
the word, and these are keeping
strangely silent on the subject. Those
little parties, that gathering of true
friends, the auto ride in the starlight,
those ladies running the auto as queen
of the rhelm while the lesser half sits
there looking on admirably tells the
tale. But like some in the past year
we can only wait until the showers be-
gin or some friend gives away the
secret. Just watch our society items
for events.

InfontIIe Paralysis.

Co. Health officer Marty handed US
the statement from which we clip the
following: '"The State Board Of Health
believe that in the interest of public
health and safety the following state
ment should be made: There has been
reported to the State Department of
Health to date, twenty-nine cases of
Infantile Paralysis with nine deaths.
No doubt there are an unknown num-
ber Of other cases not reported or un-
recognized because of their mildness.
Last year there were approximately
100 cases in the state. Therefore we
urgently request that all promptly re-
port cases to the Local Board of Health
as soon as discovered, so that effective
isolation may be established and the
public health be safeguarded. To the
people the following suggestions are
offered: First, to watch the diet, Civ
ing only reasonable quantities of whole
some. nutritious food especially avoid
ing anything likely to upset the stom-
ach, poor milk, unripe fruit or vegeta-
bles If they have been exposed to the
dust. Second, to watch exercise, pre-
venting any excessive effort or fatigue,
even at play, particularly in the sun
and in hot weather. Third, to watch
the bowels; avoiding constipating foods
or sluggishness of the bowels from any
cause. Fourth, to watch the childrens'
playmates and to avoid even distant
association with other children sick
with this disease or with anything re-
sembling it.~or with members including
adults of families in which the disease
exists. Fifth, to watch the sick chill
dren themselves. Confine them to
their own premises; destroy and disin-
feet the discharges of the throat, nose,
bladder and bowels; prevent their asso-
citation with anyone but the attendant
who does nothing but care for them;
in the case of death allow a private
funeral only. Sixth, in the event of
any child showing symptoms which are
usual to the beginning of an attack,
fever, pain, constipation, vomiting,
remember that, while these symptoms
may mean nothing but passing dis
turbance, they may mean the first
stages of paralysis; call physician at
once and in the meantime keep the
child quiet -

he New Bridges.

At the meeting oft he board of Com
missioners this week they had sufficient
money on hand to order some of the
bridges put up this fall. Work will
commence at once on the twenty foot
wide bridge at the foot of Chestnut

pleted first so the present bridge can
be used elsewhere One will be erect
ed across the Smokey in the Cope

Tie Appointment of Regents

Griffith's Republican still urges the
appointment of Resident Regent for
the Experiment Station, and while lots
of our citizens would have liked to see
Alex Philip get the place, yet Gov
Stubbs has laid down the rule that if
city has the institution thev should let
some other city have the bonor of the
regent. Even with the State Univer-
sity at Lawrence. his home town, he
carried out this idea, and had to do it
in the case or that veteran regent,
Mr.. Kellogg of Emporis, the first
President of the school, who had to
give way. No one doubts but what
Senator Taylor, the acting Regent for
our Experiment Station, is practical
man and no man could take a greater
interest in the success of the Station
than he has and is justly proud Of its
success. Grass and Ham as regents of
the Normal have the honors for their
tOwnF, and Hays prefers TO have the
Institution. Gov. Stubbs will appoint
the new regents under the same plan.
