posal of garbage in most of our sum-
mer resorts and in practically all OF
our country homes should offer no In
ducement to the intelligent person to
allure him away from his own dwelling
for the summer months.
Summer resorts where the food sup
ply is under no supervision or control
whatsoever should offer no inducement
to the rational individual to leave q
community where the markets are su-
pervised. The home city where cases
of diphtheria, scarlet fever, typhoid
fever, consumption, infantile paralysis,
and other diseases are reported ana un-
der supervision are better than resorts
which pay no attention to these mat
ters.
Isolation Facilities.
Communities in which facilities are
made for isolating communicable dis
eases and for proper hospital care of
all cases of serious illness or serious
accidents are places to be preferred to
isolated farmhouses or to small viii
lagos where such matters receive no
attention.
ION the whole, the advice OF the
Health Officer to those who are plan
ming their summer vacation is to look
well before they leap. lest, in their ef-
forts to avoid the discomforts of the
city, they encounter the disease and
death of the country and of crowded
city summer resorts"

Closed.

jackson. Miss, Nov, 1S.--It is unof-
ficially announced that the Illinois
Central railroad will close its com
missarv which has been maintained in
jackson since the inception of the
strike on the first of December.
This is interpreted to mean that the
Illinois Central officials regard the
strike as practically at an end, inso-
far as jackson is concerned, and that
its new employees, instead of being
uuartered in the old freight depot,
which was converted into a commits
sary and dormitory, can seek board
and lodging elsewhere in the city.
For the past two weeks the com
missary has been supplying an ave
rage of $50 meals per day to strike
breakers. a majority of whom were
brought in from other states to take
the place of striking freight clerks
The commissary has also provided
board and lodging for many strike
breakers brought here for a few days
and then sent to other points.
The striking clerks and machinists
are still maintaining headquarters on
Mill street, almost within stones
throw of the freight depot.
