throughout France.
French military authorities, while

French army far across the German
frontier will have considerable moral
effect. 1t Is reported unoffcially that

TO THE CITIZENS OF WELSH

The City Board of Health calls your
attention to the peculiar situation
which prevails in town due to the ex.
istence of Scarletina in the family OF
Rev. T. E. Webb.
The fire at his residence last Wed.
nesday has exposed practically every
man and many women OF the town
through the handling of household ef'
fects, making precautionary measures
difficult to handle.
We therefore urge every one who
feels indisposed or sick to call in a
physician Immediately so as to mini.
mize as much as possible the danger of
spread of the disease.
The physician will inform the person
of the symptom of the disease and what
methods to adopt to watch over ones
self in order to detect the malady so
that exposures may be prevented more
easily.
| We also urge parents whose children
have been exposed, directly or indirect.
| ly, to please keep them at home until
such time as the period Of infection is
passed.
In the event of sickness of these
children a physician should be called in
Immediately and strict isolation of the
child from the rest Of the family should
follow for period Of eight or ten days
according to the physicians advice.
/ Hoping that you will realize what q
calamity it would prove to have ger
eral infection of the town and tina,
each and every one will help us by ad
herring to these simple requests,
| We beg to remain,
Respectfully,

through field would necesSitate the
digging of ditch one half mile long
ranging in depths from to 4 feet; in
fact am not sure that the water from
Roberts field could not be turned out
on the other side Of the field with les
expense in the matter OF ditching
This is only one case and in a general
way applies to most Of them.
But the ignorance shown in this re-
port is not its worst feature for while
ignorance is no excuse in law most OF
us can and do make allowances, but 1t
shows an utter disregard for law and
authorization in fact for every man IN
the parish to flood the roods at pleas.
ure, The Police Jury had just as we'll
repeal all the laws it has for the pro-
lection of the parish roads if this atti'
tude of the Grand Jury is to be main
tanned. The only hope lies in the fact
that the present Grand Jury has not a
| life tenure, but after all while the
Grand Jury in its report has shown
dense ignorance and disregard for law
| it may be that one may shield them
with the mantle OF consistency for it is
possible, yea probable, that some OF
them were as guilty as Roberts, Day
Narens' Moore, Patterson, CoSner
Bowers OF Mcmillan and many Others
that could be mentioned. Now be-
leye that the Police Jury individually
and as a body are willing to accept the
advice and counsel OF any man or sci
of men, but as one Of that body resent
any attempt Of the Grand Jury OF any
one else to charge up to my account
the short comingS or misdoings OF any
one else, | would suggest that the
Grand Jurymen from the different
wards secure the services Of the parish
surveyor and 90 with him to the differ
ent places where flooding has beer
done; have levels taken and fix thu
blame, in every case in Ward 6 where
the fault is due to d failure to use TIT
means at command to properly drail
the road, | will personally pay the ex
pense of the survey and use any ayall
able funds of the ward to correct tn
conditions. provided that the Gram
Jurymen pay the expense:of all survey
where the flooding has been due to In

} ty or lack of discretion on the part @

the water follows the meanderingS o.

fact remains that this ditch does TAKE
