DR.. Cornell Explains Methods in
Handling Scarlet FeUer Epidemic

Explaining the methods Of the omaha
Board Of Health In keeping the epidemic
OF scarlet fever under control as far as
possible. Health Commissioner Connen
has written the following letter to Or
Case. state health officer for Nebraska:
We have had more or less scarlet
fever i'm Omaha since last spring. IL was
not entirely wiped out during the sum-
mer months. importuned the Board Of
Education to put on a full corps Of medl-
cal and nurse inspection of schools tho
beginning OF the term. The first day Of
school some fifteen schools out of the
forty-five were examined and n number
OF suspicious cases OF scarlet fever
found. They were excluded, watched
and placed under quarantine Some time
later one. two and finally three nurses
were employed by the Board OF Educa-
ton to make examinations OF the
schools. You can see how inadequate
this was when you consider forty-five
schools with 5000 pupils. About two
weeks ago the Board OF Education put
on some fourteen nurses who are de-
voting all their time and have accom-
plished a great deal Of good. as they

been sick for one or more days during
the last five weeks. The proprietors
have been instructed TO allow none who
have been out sick TO return TO work
until they have received a certificate
from the Board OF Health. A number OF
cases have been detected in this way
who applied to return to work and were
found to have scarlet fever. we also
appealed through the newspapers to all
employers in the city asking that when
any of their employees were away on ac-
count of sickness they would not be al
lowed to return TO work until they pre-
scented a certificate from some reputable
physician that they were free from any

SCHOOL BOARD TO
FACE A PROBLEM
Nay Not Be Able to Collect for
Pupils Who Attend from Out
Of the City.
BELLEVUE SCHOOL LOSES OUT

Sarpy county school officials. re-
lying upon the authority OF the state
department. are preparing a surprise
for the Omaha School board, who
this year cut the tuition rate for out
of-town pupils.
The Pioneer Union High school. a
public high school located at Belle
vue, in the east end Of sarpy county,
at the beginning OF this year made
arrangements through County SUI
Perintendent Collins of Sarpy county
for considerable number OF high
school pupils from adjoining dis
tricts, not yet in the Pioneer High
school district. TO attend that school.
For this they were to accept the usual
county tuition rate OF $40 per annum.
Lowers It's rate.
The South Side High school there
upon lowered its rate from sss per
annum to $50.
When the Pioneer High school
board saw Its pupils taken away an-
der Its very eyes, II waxed wroth and
the secretary, DR.. w. II. Betz. com
municated with State Superintendent
A. o. Thomas.
Investigation showed that Omaha
had filed no request to be placed
upon the list of schools designated
40 free attendance high schools.
Therefore, under the law they cannot
collect the $50 from any OF the out-of-
town pupils who came 20 them instead
OF going to the Pioneer Union High
school, nor can they collect their usual
tuition feet OF $50 per annum. This means
a loss to the city OF Omaha OF $3.50 or
1880. Upon receipt of bills from Omaha
for free high school tuition. the county
superintendent OF sarpy county will
notify the Pioneer high school board.
which will institute legal procedure 10

EASY TO IDENTIFY LUMBER
Leading Producers Have Adapted
System for Which There Has Long
Been a Demand.

Some Of the leading lumbermen Of
this country have long recommended
some system Of marking lumber by
which its origin and character may
be indicated. A dozen or more of
the largest companies, principally
those handling long-leaf pine, are
now marking their product so that
it may be readily identified by those
engaged in buying and selling lum-
Der. The marking us said to be
great convenience and to prevent
substitution of inferior grades. An
other progressive step on the part
of the lumber manufacturers is the
adoption by the Southern Pine assoc
citation of the density" rule origi-
nally formulated by the United
States forestry service, and in use
for some time by the isthmian canal
in making purchases of
structural timbers. This, together
with the recent visual test methods
for Distinguishing long-leaf yellow
pine, puts the inspection of heavy
timbers on a scientific basis so much
desired by the structural timber user.
In addition to adopting this rule,
the Southern Pine association rec
to its subscribers that each
piece of timber be branded at the
mill according to grade.

USE FOR MANTLE SUPPORTS.

The used supports for upright gas
mantles can be utilized on a water
faucet as a strainer, and also to pre-
vent splashing. Remove the wire
ends from the sheet-metal part or
sockets which hold them; place the
cylindrical part containing the
screen over the end of the faucet.
Hold it in place by reinserting the
wires in the sockets in the new and
reversed position. Sometimes an ex-
ira turn of the wire is required to
prevent slipping down.
Though this strainer is not fine
enough to filter out bacteria, it will
serve many uses where particles Of
dirt and weeds get into the water.
