MUCH vACCINATING BEING DONE
Health Officer i'm Compliance with
Resolution of Board of Health,
Goes A-vaccinating.

The health officer of the city in
compliance with resolution passed
at recent meeting of the Board OF
Health, has set out to vaccinate all
persons in the city who have not been
successfully vacinated i'm recent years
and he has his hands full in doing it.
Mr.. Towles the health officer, has
not had very easy time Of it for
the past week. not that he leads an
easy life of 1t ordinarily but with the
small pox in the city and it's accom-
paying scare he does not anticipate
any easier life for 1t for some time to
come. All the same he is going
ahead with his work and vaccinating
all who come along. hardly taking
time from this seemingly special work
to attend to the other regular duties
90 mo Office
Tie started out ON his vaccinating
rounds Friday. February 2. and has
been .accinating half a hundred or
So per day ever since. The resolution
of the city Board Of Health calls for
the vaccination Of all persons living
In the city who have not been sue
cessfully vaccinated In the past five
years and all persons who have not
had themselves vaccipated in that
time had better do so at once or the
health officer will call upon him or
her on his rounds and vaccinate them
whether they desire 1t or not.
The Board Of Health wants it un-
derstood that there Is only one case
or small pox in the city and it is
very anxious to keep the disease from
; spreading in the city and the only
way TO do this is to vaccinate those
not already vaccinated This is not
an easy thing to do. but that is what
Is desired, and although there are
cases OF small pox at Mayesville. Ha-
good. Rembert and several other
nearby places-or have been recently
with no quarantine established, the
only way to keep II down in the city
Is by promiscuous vaccination. There
Is no telling at what time persons
from one of these infested districts
VIII not come to town that the party
with the disease will spread it in the
city This Is by no means desired,
while 1t Is very much sought to
guard against any such occurrence, so
therefore the special measures taken.
The case i'm the city and that just
north OF the city are not mentioned
because OF the fact that a strict quar-
antine Is kept over them and there
is no danger Of the disease spread
ing from them.

HOUSTON. Tex, Oct. 16.-some

ing was declared to be a future prof
table venture in the Gulf Of Mexico
and that Norwegian whaling feet
would attempt the work However the
story of wha1eG in the Gulf was
scooted along tho coast as well as
in Norway where capital was sought
to further the work.
IIowever It has just some to light
that great profits are being de lived
from whaling near Beunos Ayres, the
work being conducted by South
American syndicate. Capt. Carl Lar
son, who Is at the head of the work,
in making voyage around the horn
found the sea literally filled with
whales on the coast of Beunos Ayres.
At that port he prevailed upon q
wealthy man to form company, say
ing he could finance the balance in
Norway. However the story was
secuted when he told 1t in Norway
and he was forced to return to South
America TO complete the financing.
The new company put out feet
OF whalers and the venture proved
more successful than even the stor
les, of Larson predicted. AS a result
Norwegian capital is awakening, and

That business management was

Probably, this is only apparent,
and merely the result of bad book
