il. c. HEALTH BULLETIN GIVES
PUBLICITY TO HENDERsONVIILE.
Praises Authorities for Not Closing
schools During Recent Diphtheriaa
Epidemic; Quotes Democrat.

The January issue Of the Health Bui-
Ietin issued by the State Board Of
Health contained, among other inter-
esting matter, a story pertaining to.
the recent epidemic in this city
Strong praise is given the city author
tiles and trustees in 0 allowing the
school toqbe closed. The following is
the clipping in full:
Diphtheria in Henderson has given
strength to the belief that there should
be periodical inspection OF the school
children in order to prevent the spread
OF the contagious diseases, says the
Western Carolina Democrat, published
at Hendersonville. Continuing, #.

Had an inspection been made it is
likely that pupils would not now be
prevented from attending the public
schools as we'll as Fassifern, and thar
there would not be a deprivation OF
the public school of n of its teach.

A later issue of the same paper
stating that the epidemic of diphthe-
ria had been brought under control,
tells how it was done, and complf-
ments the town for its foresight anG
the precedent it has established in 0
trolling the diphtheria epidemic by
means of keeping the school open II
using it as an aid instead of closing
it. The paper says:
The school and city authorities were
facing quite a problem when the
spread of the disease was in it's most
threatening stages, and there was
difficulty in determining with unani-.
nifty the proper course to take. While
some favored closing the schools. NOV

Where the children collected, Professor
Briggs commended for the daily exami-
nation Of school children. Coming
along almost Simultaneously with this
decision was the announcement in the
health bulletin of the State that q
school should never close for an cpl
delnic, but that daily examination
should be made, as was done in Hen
Jacksonville. 1t was, in a way, a eoRa
pltment to the initiative taken in the
HenderSonville situation despite criti-
cism to the contrary. and no doubt
that course has established a good
precedent that should be followed II
Hendersonville. for the people can
now see the good Judgment shown in
ttie matter.
Hendersonville has not only found
that closing school in case of a threat
ened epidemic of some contagious dis
ease is a loss of time and money as
far as the educational interests are
concerned. but that it is a sorry, in
efficient means of meeting and con-
trolling the situation from a health
standpoint. By keeping the school
open and making daily examinations
of the school children, as Henderson,
vile did. it was possible to keep in
lection from spreading at school anc
to locate and control cases in the
homes. The old way of closing school
because We were helpless and didn't
know what else to do has passed, and
now we'll put our knowledge and bet

WEAR SULPHUR IN SHOES
AND KEEP OFF THE GRIP.
:Fairmont, w. Va, Dispatch.)

fFairmont, w. Va, Dispatch.)
Residents of this city are wearing
sulphur in their shoes to keep away
the grip. Older residents recall that
20 years ago, when the epidemic of
grip swept the country. DR.. George
Angel, a celebrated physician, rec
commended at that time that every
body wear sulphur in their shoes as a
preventive, the discovery having been
made that miners employed in the sui
phur mines were immune from the
disease.
He recommended that a teaspoonfu!
of sulphur be sprinkIed in the sole o.
each shoe and worn during the dura
tior of the epidemic. Scores here are
following this advice.
To which the Statesvil1e Landmark
adds:
In the old days. when a mysterious
skin disease called itch" was more
common than it is now, many people
who sent children to the public schools
tied a package of a~ssafoetida around
their necks to protect them from the
disease. The a~ssafoetida was sewed
up in a small package and suspended
from the neck, inside the clothing, by
a string. If the ~assafoetida kept off
thu itch-andstha medicine ought to
keep of almost anything-maybe sui
phur in the shoes would keep of the
grip.

no doubt exists in the minds of the
members that a federal aid law soon
viii be passed, although members did
agree upon any particular plan or
bill to be presented to congress.
Federal aid is justified not only be-
cause past methods, including state
participation in road building, have
proved Inadequate, but because the ae-
tivity of the government would en-
phasize the Importance of better roads,
establish higher standards, and to
some extent shift the burden of ex-
pense from the rural resident to the
city dweller.
Although under federal aid city resi-
dents would contribute two-thirds Of
the money to be expended, and all
would be spent on rural roads outside
OF. Incorporated cities and villages, no
opposition has been heard to it on
the ground that it would place an un-
Just burden on the city resident, who,
while only indirectly benefited, appre-
ciates the value of good roads to the
community and the benefits that all
will enjoy.

OFFICERS MADE
ANOTHER RAID
TWO "PICGERS" FROM DUNN MINE
ROUNDED UP SATURDAY
HEARING SET FOR SEPT. 26
Small Amount of Beer Found At
Both Places When Raid
Was Made

The deputy sheriffs from this side
OF the county made another raid last
Saturday night and as a result Pete
Yamen and Bartalo Mantegame are
the two latest victims who will have
to face Judge Flanagan and answer
to the charge OF violating the local
option laws.
Yamen and Mantegame are both
boarding house keepers at the Dunn
mine location and reports have II that
they were doing a fiourishing busi-
ness in dealing out the beer up to the
time that the deputies pounced down
upon them. The officers who made
the raid were Deputies Jessen, Tromb-
ley, Lind, Urban, Broad and Aeschli-
man.
When the officers arrived at va
mems place they found very little
beer in the house but upon searching
about the grounds discovered that he
kept his root house pretty we'll load
ed with the wet goods. AT Mantle
games place only a small amount of
beer was found but enough evidence
was secured to show up the fact that
beer has been sold by him in large
quantities. Outside of beer no whis-
key or other intoxicants were found
in either of the two places.
The men were brought to this city
where they were placed in Jail TO
await Monday so that they could be
orraigned. They furnished bonds and
tho date for hearing the cases has
been set for Tuesday. September 26.
Duluth Drying Up.
Duluth is drying up" by degrees
as result of the vote in that city
last spring to abolish the saloons Be-
fore the Prohibition rule for Duluth
was passed by voters there, licenses
could be procured by liquor men at
any time during the year. These Ii
are being revoked as they ex-
pire. Three saloons closed their
doors during the last week of August,
a total of eleven up to Sept. 1.
During July four saloons went out
of business, while three will close
during September, two in October,
four in November and one in Decem-
ber. BY January /, 1917, total of
twenty-one will have closed their
doors. The last license will expire
on June 30. 1917
Duluth's gradual drying out, incl
dentally. Is proving to be a matter Of
deep concern to the liquor interests
OF the upper peninsula OF Michigan
who fear that the spectacle of Duluth
going dry will carry big moral
weight in the Michigan statewide pro-
hibition campaign this fall.

TEN MILLION TONS.
May BE the Movement OF Iron Ore on
the Lakes In August.

While IL is not confidently expected
that the iron ore movement for this
month will amount to 10000 900 tons.
1t would not be a great surprise II
the figures show that that immense
tonnage has been shipped from the
iron ore docks OF the Lake Superior
region. The weather has been favor
able. the amount of grain hauled has
decreased and all conditions have
contributed TO record breaking
movement
Iron ore shippers state very posi-
lively that they will not pay 81 net for
the movement OF ore from the head
OF the lakes next year and indications
are that the opposition to such a high
rate will be very strong, says Iron
Trade Review. The experience OF
past years, when very high ore prices
have been followed by slumps. lie cited,
and 1t is pointed out that an advance
to 81 for the carrying OF the ore would
necessitate an advance 10 $3.50 for old
range bessemer. price which has not
prevailed since 1900. when, following
the boom of 1899. the buying move
ment for 1900 was started Dec. 18th,
1899. at an advance OF $3.50 per ton
over the SO price paid for 1899 deliv-
cry. The making OF this price was
followed by slump, failure of buyers
TO take their ore and generally un-
satisfactory conditions, and in 1901
the price was reduced to $425 and
did not get back to So until 1907. In
October, of that year, there was a
panic and the price for 1908 was re-
duced fifty cents.
During the past few days, the sup
ply of vessel tonnage has not been
equal TO the demand for the carrying
Of ore for this year and a small ton
mage of ore was contracted for AT
$1.25 net from the head of the lakes
for shipment to Buffalo. II is ex-
pected that very high rates will be
paid on small tonnages during the re-
mainder of the season.
