AMERICUS, Ga, May 7th, 1915.
Notice to the public:
There are several cases of measles
and chicken-pox within the limits and
adjacent to the city and many of these
cases probably have no physician in
attendance; consequently the Board of
Health can't possibly prevent the
spread and contagion of these diseases
without the help and cooperation Of
the physician and parents of children
affected. The Board has a right to
placard and quarantine houses where
these diseases exist, but it has not been
the practice heretofore and we do moi
care to establish a precedent except
for protection of your children. Measles
is not only very dangerous as to pro-
ducing death, but is more so than any
other disease from the sequellae and
complications and many children have
their eyes completely ruined because
the parent thinks it simple trouble.

BERLIN, May $50 great has been
the flood of old metals for melting

is not sufficient to necessitate such
sacrifice.
"Of late" says the ministry there
have been accumulating in the raw
materials of war division of the min
istry metal objects of all kinds from
the household and the factory, even
church bells, for the use of the army.
1t is impossible to thank each sender
for his laudable interest, so the war
ministry bespeaks in this way it's graf
itude.
THE army authorities do not wish
to take advantage of this movement,
because at the present there is no
shortage in old metal. Aside from this
fact, the less we'll to do circles of our
population would be apt to compete in
spirit of sacrifice in giving to the
Fatherland their metal, while in case
of a real shortage, larger supplies and
OBJECTS, such as roofs, could be used"

Havane, the Indian wounded yes
terday, was still alive when the news
dispatch was sent, but was expected
to die. He had been confined in a
room and obtained permission to step
to the outside door, on the pretense
that he was i'll. He slipped his hand
cuffs and made a break for liberty,
but was shot before he reached the
door.
A posse has left Bluff to look for
John Tanner, a cattleman, who is sup

west of Butler wash. Great anxiety
has been felt for mis- safety. A scout

mouth Of Comb wash to the Navajo

the Indians had built signal fires.
