No School Should Close on Account of
Epidemic of Contagious Disease.
The plan of closing school in case
o. an epidemic Of some contagious
disease is the old and ineffective way
of dealing with such a situation, and
adopted for the reason there Wa
apparently nothing else to do. But
according to a bulletin recently issued
by the State Board of Health, there is
another way, a scientific and an ell
cient meanst Of dealing with an cpl
demic in school. This way does not
close the school at all but uses the
school as a most valuable aid in keep
ing the children under observation,
that early cases may be detected and
removed before they become a source
of infection to the other children,
.ssIn case a school has no nurse or
school physician" says the bulletin"
a Dhysician,s service can be secured
for the daily examinations while the
epidemic lasts and both parents and
the health officer or quarantine ohcelt
can be notified and the epidemic soon
brought under control"
On the other hand, if the school are
closed when an outbreak occurs, the
children are turned loose from super
vision: they mingle freely with one
another. in the streets and n eacn
others homes; they are unwilling TO
admit they feel i'll for the reason II

the parents call the physician too late.
According to the bulletin, no school
should close on account Of contagious
diseases. If the teacher is alert and
the health officer on the job, an cpl
demic can be avoided or so controlled
that there will be no loss of time on
the part of the school as a whole. Not
for four years has a school of New
York City closed on account Of an
epidemic of a contagious disease.

How O.sn Cove $ Originated.

Dishes brought to table were not IL.
the first Instance covered merely to
keep the food warm. In mediaeval
days people were afraid that poison
might ne introduced INFO food between
the kitchen aad thu table: hence the
cock was ordered TO cover the dishes.
and the covers were not removed until
the master of the house sill down to
eat. The w~hoIesoEneness of the food
was first tested by the servants. who
were required to taste it before it was
served, and if they came safely through
the trial the food was all right. Later
on, instead of the food being tasted Il
was tested by certain objects which
were supposed to be infallibie antidotes
against poison.

1t has been the established policy
for many years among the lumber
companies operating in this part
of the state not to sell foot OF land
for agricultural purposes until after
the entire timber holdings of the
companies were cut and the mill
shut down for good, but the Rust
Owen Lumber Company, of Drum
mond, has taken a new tack, and
although the life of the mill is good
for several years yet, the company
has opened land department and
has started in real earnest to bring
settlers to their cut-over lands.
The department is in charge of

owns two hundred acres of land

large tract in addition to it. At this

out of danger. She was troubled
with appendicitis, peritonitis and
gall stones, the gall stones removed
numbered 217. Her husband and
daughter. Mrs. G. A. Johnson, were
down to Ashland and Mrs. Johnson
remained until her mother had
passed the danger point few days
after the operation.
