FalsehOOd Games

Caro-Although all fears of an cpl
demic of diphtheria have passed re-
port is in circulation that the original
cause of the trouble came through
some secondhand books procured in
Flint and placed in the Free Public
Library.
There is absolutely nothing true
about the story. The first case was
traced to other causes by the officials
and no secondhand books have been
purchased for the library from Flint
or any other place. Readers of The
Advertiser were informed at the open
ing of the library that certain Caro-
ties had generously given quite num-
Der of books from their private Ii
braries, and the titles of the volumes
and the names of the donors were
published in full.
AS an extra precaution, DR.. Ryan,
health officer, personally attended to
the fumigation of the library rooms
and the books, so there was absolute
ly no foundation for the story.
