Mrs. Dora Gorsline has been

the result of a cut on the hand.
They were butcherlng last Tues
day, week ago and cut her hand
while helping take care of the
meat, The cut was dressed and
she supposed that it was healiug
when she began to suffer from the
wound. Last Friday she came to
Liberal and was under the doctors

went home with the pain eased and

it necessary and so it will sti
pay to keep on the good side OF
them.
That Liberal is not the only city
having the trouble is evident from
the reports sent out from other
places. While there is no conso-
lation in learning that misfor-
tune was not ours alone yet there
is some feeling Of relief to know
the conditions is not a local one
and not due to any peculiar cir
cumstance or condition existing
here.
While a few may have been
thoughtless which does not make
the situation any more consoling
to those who contracted the dis
ease-it is not generally thought
that any one person is resonpsible
for it.
AS said before, things are be-
ginning to assume normal con-
ditions again but the lesson learn
ed should make every one careful
to investigate and know what
disease a sick person may have
before visits or calls are made to
a sick room and due precaution
should b bexercised by those who of
necessity are brought in contact
with those who are sick.
