troll. They advised the state board Of
health OF the epidemic which had
taken hold. and 10 response DR.. J. W.
Morgan, Inspector for the board came
TO Ordway Wednesday and made an
examination. He suggested several
things that should be done. some OF
which had already been put into ef-
Fas, hnf kl rIunl 10 ad
the use OF serum, the isolation OF
LhOse who have had cases In their
homes. the closing OF the schools aud
other public places, the use OF disin-
fectants, and the use Ut the drug
EUROPEAN, which Ii one of the known
preventatives for meningitis iu It's
different forms. DR.. Morgan returned
TO Denver adyising tho most careful
and strict enforcement OF these va
rious Recommendations, but was of
the opinion that the epidemic would
end almost as suddenly rs II came. He
stated that it could be termed con-
tagiUus disease, but that there was SO
tine a distinction between contagious
and infectious that the medical fra
ternity preferred to call IL commu-
nicable disease.
Ralph Lee, the thirteen-year
son OF Mrs. ID. B. Hersperger, died at
about midnight Monday night. and
Marie Lee, the ten year.old daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs Harry Lee died at
