The Ladies Guild Remembers Junior
Pastor.

A special meeting Of the Guild met
with Mrs. E. S. Goodreau on Monday
AFTERNOON, April oath. The meeting
was for the purpose of presenting to
Rev. and Mrs. z. NJ. Stewart a car
riage for their infant son, Eugene
Young.
The hostess had spared no effort
| in making her home especially at
tractive and inviting for this occasion
in which so much interest had beer
centered.
A color scheme in pink was most
effectively carried out.
PoppieS and carnations beautified
the hall and parlOr, and fragrant pink
roses, the dining room.
The president opened the meeting
by stating the purpose of same and
in a few we'll chosen words invited
little Annie Lois Hood to take charge
of the meeting.
This little lady looking very sweet
in a dainty white dress with pink
ribbons came in wheeling the carriage
up to Rev. and Mrs. E. w. Stewart,
who were seated in one corner of the
room with the baby, and in a very
sweet little manner, with bow and
smile, announced the fact that "this
buggy was for Eugene Young Stew
art, from the Ladies' Guild" Mrs.
Stewart most feelingly thanked the
ladies.
Rev. Stewart then in a most i'm
pressing manner expressed their pro-
found gratitude in which he spoke
of the strength of the carriage as be-
tokening the strength in the ties that
bind the pastor and his family to their
cO-labolers. He expressed the delight
they felt in having others share the
love and interest in their little one.
THE hostess then served most deli
clous strawberry cream, served in cups
of pink crepe representing peoples,
and cake in white and pink iceing.
On each plate was found a favor of a
half blown pink rose.
After thanking the hostess the
guests departed, headed by Rev, and
Mrs. Stewart pushing the perambula-
tor with the son snugly nestled with
in.

WILL SHOW GRIPPE GERM
State Bacteriologist Prepares Twens
ty.Five Slides to Show Good
and Bad Bacteria

The grippe germ which produced
the epidemic Of grippe last winter is
now in captivity and will be exhibit
ed to the population Of Iowa.
1t is one Of some twenty-five bac-
terra which DR.. Henry Albert, state
bacteriologist, has put on stereopti-
can slides and furnished to the exten-
sion division Of the University OF Iowa
to send out for exhibition in local CON-
The collection Of bacteria includes
both good and bad, helpful; and de-
structive. Farmers of the state will
no doubt be interested in seeing the
bacteria which help them by extract"
ing nitrogen from the air and trans
ferring it to clover, alfalfa, and the
soil in which they grow. Dairymen
will want to see the germs which
cause the souring Of milk, the ripen-
ing of cream and cheese, the turning
of milk into artificial buttermilk. The
bacterium which makes vinegar of
apple cider, the yeast germ, and va
rious others which are a help to man
are in the collection.
Among the disease bacteria to be
shown by means of the lantern slides
are those Of pneumonia, typhoid, tu-
berculosis, and chicken cholera.
The extention division expects the
collection to be in great demand at
farmers Institutes, food conventions,
and health meetings.

health, to establish a more or less
rigid quarantine for grip. There is no
question whatever but that grip is con-
tagious, and in very high degree.
Until some legal quarantine is or
dered, every family should give the
promptest attention to this danger to
the health of its members, and to the
health of their associates. II men,
Der of the family has the grip, the
family should establish a voluntary
quarantine for him, and he should oc-
cupy a room by himself, if possible.
One member of the family should at
tend upon the afflicted one, using the
same precaution against becoming in
fected with the contagion or carry
ing it to others, that would be used
in a case of smallpox, diphtheria or
scarlet fever.
No one should be allowed to drink
from the same glass or cup used by
one who is suffering from the grip.
Everyone in the same house shoul
avoid, as much as possible, breathing
the air which has become contami-
mated by the person suffering from The
grip. Strangers or neighbors call
ing should not be admitted to the room
in which the member of the family
suffering from this disease is con-
fined. All of the rooms of the house
during such an attack, the room oc-
cupied during his illness should be
fumigated.
The sleeping room of the sufferer
from grip should be well ventilated at
all times by the opening of windows to
admit the fresh outside air. This is
more especially important during the
hours of sleep. 1t is important at the
same time to keep the body of the
person suffering from this disease at
as even a temperature as possible.
This can be done by providing suft-
cient covering for the bed so that the
fresh air will not chill the body of
the person, but the patient must al
ways be permitted to breathe fresh
air.
In closing, we wish again to en-
phasize the fact that grip is dan
gerous, contagious disease. More
people, we are advised from reliable
sources, have died this year from grip
in this country than have succumbed
to smallpox, 'diphtheria and scarlet fe.
