RULES OF STATE
BOARD OF HEALTH
STRICT REGULATIONS PRESCRIBE
ED BY SUPERINTENDENT OF
STATE BOARD
TO SAFEGUARD THE PUBLIC HEALTH
Regulations Require All Articles Of
Food to Be Screened From Files
Teachers to Report On illness

Park b. Jennings, superintendent of
the state board Of health, has been
busy for some time in framing the
new regulations governing the work
ings of that body, a y a Pierre dis
patch. While these regulations are
subject to approval of the complete
board in substance they cover a much
wider range than any of the older regu-
lations in regard to diseases which
are subject to reports to the health de-
partment, and attempts to control the
added to the older regulations being
typhoid fever, pneumonia and tuber.
culosis along with a number of less
common diseases.
The matter of control Of different
diseases Is not attempted under one
rigid system, but each is handled as
a separate proposition sc far as quar-
antine and other methods of control
are concerned, ranging all the way
from close quarantine of the building
in cases of scarlet fever and diph-
iberia, down to mere supervision of
health officers in milder diseases,
smallpox being covered either by the
removal of the patient to an isolation
hospital or isolation in a particular
room of a building without attempting
to close the building completely. In
cases of measles the house is to be
placarded, and it is left to any who
wish to enter the premises after such
warning IL they so desire. The quar-
antine or warning cards being requir-
ed to show what disease exists.
In cases Of typhoid, pneumonia and
tuberculosis supervision is all which
is to be attempted by the health au-
thorities, with stricter measures in
case health warnings and regulations
in such cases are not observed. Tu-
b~ercular patients are not to be allowed
to handle food stuffs of any class
which are offered for sale.
Strict regulations in regard to pro-
lection of food stuffs are included, re-
curing all bakery goods, confectionery,
meats, fruits, vegetables, and all food
stuffs not protected in closed recep-
tacles, to be protected by glass, wood
or metal cases both fly and dust proof.
Teachers in schools are required to
report to the head of the school daily
on illness of any of their pupils, and 1t
is the duty of such school head to re-
port to the health officers. Plans for
all public buildings must be approved
by the state board as to sanitary regu-
lations before work begins on the
structure.

She endured all Of the hardships of
the early settlers, including the dan

family came to Dakota territory, set
thing nea the old town of Medary, six
miles south of this city. That was sew
eral years before Brookings was start
ed and there were but few settlers in
the country. Mrs. Dolliver made her
home here until 1897 when she married
again and returned to Minnesota to
live. Since the death of her husband
five years ago she had made her home
with her daughter at Des Moines. Nine
children were born to Mrs. Dolliver

The beautiful ring service was read

BAND CONCERT TONIGHT

Through the courtesy of Director
Christensen we are able to announce
the following program for this even
ing's band concert on the school house
grounds:
March-Hi Henry. .Farrar
Medley-New York, London and
March-Row, Row, Row.. Monaco
Waltz-The Shamrock Tobani
Good Night Mr.. Moon (by request)
Overture-Prnce Royal Barnard
March-Imperial King
The concerts thus far this summer
have been highly successful. They
have been much more regular than
during the past few years and the
citizens surely appreciate the en-
deavors of the members of the band.
There is n thing, however, which is
very noticeable, especially after at
tending the chautauqua. At the chau-
tauqua the platform manager so en-
Unused the audiences that they ap-
plauded anything and everything pre-
scented. 1t is not our purpose to en-
courage anything of this kind but it
would seem nice If the people who lis
ten to the band boys would let the boys
know whether they are being pleased
Or not. A little more liberal use of
the hands will help a great deal and
the members of the band will not
think they r working entirely in
vain. Try this tonight.

a jurist was to reform, not punish
wrong doors. II there was one chance
in a thousand for reformation the
Judge gave the man before him that
chance.
Judge Knappen was a man who was
quick to see both sides of a question
He was quick to see but slow to act
He realized that the decisions render,
ed by him were far reaching in their
effect and for that reason he was not
satisfied until he carefully considered
the question before him from every
possible angle. There vas always that
fear in his mind that he might do some
n ar injury.
Every attorney in Kalamazoo knew
that Judge Knappen was his friend.
Many Of the younger members of the
bar have often asked the Judge for his
views on certain subjects and never
was that official too busy to carefully
explain matters as he saw them. CUES.
tons of law and fact were explained
in great detail and assistance was
freely given to those who sought ad.
vice.
The older attorneys, many of whom
had grown up in the law business in
Kalamazoo along with Judge Knappen,
we're always welcome guests in the
privete office at the Court House.
Many times have the early days been
discussed among the members OF those
gatherings. Judge Knappen never for.
got a friend, and the many deeds OF
kindness performed by him while on
the bench We're known only to
the person benefited.
Judge Knappen never lost sight of
the fact that he was a public official.
He carried with him the idea that he
vas a servant of the people and that II
was was his duty to serve the public
at all times. He was gentle, kind and
considerable. He did not seek to rule
with a rod of iron. He felt that he was
a part of the legal machinery of the
state and nation. He realized that he
was no higher in position than the
very law he dispensed so justly, had
really made him.
"The judge was not a mar to com.
plain. He had made his way to the
top of his profession in Kalamazoo
county by his ability. He was a man
of the people and had been elevated
from the ranks Of the people. He had
worked hard for what he had gained,
but he would have worked just as
hard to aid some friend to gain the
same end.
Judge Knappen was a truly great
man, broad minded and just. The
memory Of his kindly smile and his
many good deeds will live in the hearts
of his friends for all time to come"

our Mr.. Knappen Of the Bank of Brook.

mazoo newspapers.

LOOK OUT

There are some strangers in town
(and some who cannot be so classed)
who do not seem to know that there
is an ordinance providing a penalty of
five dollars for bicycle riding on the
sidewalks. Perhaps this practice Is
encouraged by the mail carriers riding
on the sidewalks when the streets are
muddy, but they have this privilege
through an ordinance and no liberties
are given by it to others than mail
carriers. If you are in the habit OF
riding the sidewalks you better quit.

TRIM YOUR TREES

Brookings has a reputation for the
large number Of trees she has lining
her streets. The people generally ap-
preciate this reputation but some few
do not seem to realize that trimmed
trees are much more presentable than
are the low hanging, sprawling var.
iety. 1t would be well to get busy
and open up some of the walks so
people can walk on them without
bobbing their heads all the time. There
is a city ordinance to this effect.

ANOTHER FIRE

The business district was visited by
the third fire in as many weeks on
Sunday morning. Shortly after two
o'clock fire was discovered in the
basement OF Smythe's grocery and
although it had a fairly good start the
fire company kept 1t below the main
floor and little damage was done, ex.
cept by water. The fire started in
some straw packing in the wall Of a
potato bin, and spontaneous combus-
ton Is the only way it can be account
ed for.
