strong strong a measure cannot be
taken to prevent it The postoffice
department of the United States has
provided against it by more than one
rule and it makes it plain to the post
master that he is not to accept mail
from places where he knows there is
contagious disease. In like manner
does it equally assert that carriers
shall not subject themselves to I'M
usual risk where contagion is immi-

stationed on the porch or gate the
postman has orders to throw the mail

WON'T RECEIVE MAIL
Postal Regulations Prohibit Postmas-
tiers and Carriers From Re
ceivins Such Mail
Matter.

The failure of persons quarantined
because of contagious diseases to
properly observe the regulations OF
quarantine is often responsible for
considerable havoc being wrought in
community, in that by thoughtless
neglect of duty, the contagion is
permitted to spread. In most cases
the public through the agency of the
health departments keep this down
to minimum, but there are ways
in which even the health officers
care may fail to prevent the spread
OF disease. One of these avenues of
contagion is by correspondence and
the use of the mails. Uncle Sam
through the regulations of the post
al department has forseen this dam
ger and has provided against it. but
even then some persons insist on the
mail carrier becoming an unwilling
and unconscious means of spreading
the contagion.
If he will stick resolutely to the
regulations and the order of the
postmaster or foreman OF the car
riers. the carrier may be forced to
stand vile names and verbal abuse,
but he will not be exposed nor expose
others to contagion. The presence
of mail boxes on house wherein a
contagious disease, be it scarlet fever,
diphtheria, measles. or one of the
other common maladies that are sub
ject to quarantine is confined, is often
the means whereby a carrier can be-
come a carrier of disease as we'll as
mail. He is often asked to place the
mail in the box by persons who are
Guaranteed Notwithstanding that the
quarantined open the box and re-
move the mail This he does not have
to do nor should be asked to do.

ed at a meeting here some time ago
of the Indiana Association of Car Lot
Shippers, which meeting was attended
by nearly 40 of tho 100 or more men,
bers. Resolutions were adopted as
sorting that the dealers would buy eggs
only on the plan of loss off,"
This decision was in line with the
amendment which the last legislature
added to the pure food law. making it
violation of the law to offer bad
egg for sale. This law applies to the
farmer, the grocer, the huckster, the
dealer, the shipper, or to anybody else
who sells eggs. H. e. Barnard, state
food and drug commissioner, attended
the meeting and made an address, in
which he told the members his depart
ment would do everything in its pow
er to enforce the new law. Up to this
time it has been the common prac-
ttce for the farmer to sell all his eggs
in lot, regardless of whether the eggs
were good. bad or otherwise, and he
received fiat price for them. The
result was that the consumer had to
take his chances on getting good eggs
when he bought eggs at grocery.

nation or something like that We

1t has been determined by members
of our class and by the nazal officers
instructing US that in the event Of
our fleets being but few 1ailes south
or north of the Pacific coast, Japan
could land force of men SO large as
to control sufficiently the entire west
coast.
THE west coast IS the only logical
place where Japan could get an en-
trance, for in coming any other way
their vessels woulc be detected and
stopped. We of this class-and

When consumer goes to a grocery

when man bought dozen eggs he

Some Of the members said they had
seen in grocery stores signs that
read: I'VE do not guarantee the eggs

This will not help the grocers,"
said Mr.. Barnard. "They have got
to guarantee the eggs they sell. They
must deal fairly with their GUS

Mr.. Barnard said large placards had
been sent out to dealers notifying them
Of the provisions of the law, and that
the law would be enforced.
