Notice
To the Citizens of Meade.

To the Citizens of Meade.
Considering what progress
Meade has made in the last few
months regarding good substan-
tial buildings and the fact that
we are going to have a new school
building the prospects for the
future are good.
1t remains to be seen what our
city officials are going to do re-
garding sanitary conditions.
There is no town in this section
of the country as easily drained
as Meade and also no town in
this section of the country with
the sanitary conditions as bad as
those in Meade.
Let us wake up to our duty
and net allow people to bring
herds of cattle and horses into
the heart of the city and not
clean out their lots but once Y
year, Let each one respect the
laws of sanitation whether he is
a public Official or private citi-
zen. :Let us make Meade the
most desirable place in which
to live in Southwest Kansas.
Do away with the snsanitary
conditions. 1t is true. that horses
and cows are necessity id town
but there is no excuse for any
one letting the manure get foot
deep in their lots. 1t should be
hauled out every week in sum
mer time at least,
We hope that those whose du-
ty it is to look after the sanitary
conditions of our city will do so;
that IT will not be necessary to
have the State Board of Health
placed in the embarrassing posi-
tion of cleaning up our town.

City Well

The city has added another
we'll at the city pumping plant.
1t is a 4.inch we'll and 1913 feet in
depth, the Artesian water COM
ing within two feet of the SUR
face. By using an air pump,
the we'll flows 200 gallons per
minute. 1t is the intention to
make another reservoir thirty
feet in diameter and twenty feet
deep and to connect we'll and
reservoir below the surface, thus
eliminating the cost of pumping.
Jay Ellis, assisted by Water
Commissioner Sam Ellis, put
down the we'll.

MUST OBEY
QUARANTINE
Crumbine Will Report All
Violations To Federal
Authorities

Topeka, May When the
new federal quarantine against
persons who are suffering from
communicable diseases become
effective, about the middle of
this month, it will spell trouble
for people who persist IN violat-
ing the local quarantine regulat.
ions, according to DR.. S. J. Crum-
bine, secretary of the state board
of health, who was in bad humor
today over broken quarantine
at Marion. He will turn every
such case over to the federal
authorities, he says, and let them
answer to the courts of the
United States.
Yesterday, according to in
formation received by the board
OF health, woman who lives in
Marion, Kansas, left home with
a child who had the whooping
caugh and came to Topeka.
Here she went to the home of a
teacher in the Topeka schools.
81 suppose she thought that
the whooping cough didn't
amount to much" DR.. Crumbine
said. Many people have that
idea. II it had been the small
pox, now, and they had found it
out in time, they would have
slde-tracked the car she came to
Topeka in, and would have uar-
antined every person IN 1t, and
yet whooping cough is actually
worse than smallpox-infnitely
worse.-. I'll prove tito you," he
added definitely. lin 1914 there
were lS3 deaths from whooping
cough and nobody can estimate
the NUN Der of little folks whose
lungs were weakened by the ter
rible stralning incident TO the
disease. During the same time
there were Just seven deaths
from smallpox. Nice showing,
isn't it? Then some of these
ignorant people try to tell you
that whoop'ng cough is not SER
ious."
DR.. Crumbine added that the
affair reported to him is not on
Ily against the law, but it is act
ually wicked, to expose no telling
how many innocent people to the
disease.
ut will be bit drastic, turn
ing all these violations over to
the federal authorities" the
doctor added, but ! believe !
will be fully justified in taking
that stand. Iwant TO stop peo-
pie who have these diseases from
breaking quarantine. The Unit
ed States officers willstop them"
The question of obeying the
quarantine laws is an important
one and too much stress cannot
be placed upon enforcing it.
One violation of quarantine
may result in number of
outbreaks of the disease and
perhaps number of deaths, 50
when a quarantine is blished
it is a pretty good idea to give it
the same regard as any other
law and more especially now
since the federal authorities are
going to deal with violaters.
