Board Of Health Sound, Warning.


Jefferson City.-Dr. ]. A. B. Adcock,
secretary of the state boal d of health,
has issued a general warning to the
people of Missouri to protect them
selves against the epidemic of small.
pox which is spreading over the state
and is especially prevalent in many
counties north OF the Missouri river.
Vaccination and isolation are the
remedial measures suggested by DR..
Adcock. He says in the letter sent
broadcast over the state:
II deem It proper to warn residents
of the commonwealth to protect them
selves against this loathsome disease
by Immediately submitting to vaccina-
ton, and revaccination where a few
years have elapsed since former vac
cination. IL the scar is fading out.
This is the only true preventative
and is available to all. Quarantine
and isolation is another safeguard
which every health officer is hereby
commanded to enforce to the end that
this disease be completely wiped out.
II would further advise that the
mildness OF the disease in any COM
munity is not good reason for relaxing
vigilance, as in this insidious form it
is hardest to control and to prevent its
spreading.
'In an epidemic where doubts arise
as to the true nature OF the disease.
treat as suspects and isolate until
such time as the true nature of the
disease may be clearly ascertained,
but do not forget to vaccinate."

CLEVELAND, Oct. 2O.-Muni-

new municipal quirk to reduce
the well-known high cost of liv-
ing. It's the municipal ice box.
a huge refrigerating plant at one
of the city owned markets. Cleve-
land housewives can now Guy
fruit, vegetables and eggs at sum-
mer and autumn prices. At a
very small cost these commodities
can be stored in the municipal ice
box, and when mid-winter finds
prices of foodstuffs almost to the
sky line they can be taken out
just as good as new. The munich
pay cold storage is a new idea
originating with j. NJ. McCurdy,
superintendent of the plant. Many
housewives have already formed
clubs to take advantage of the
city's offer.
