p. M, the same as throughout the
week.
The Sunday train was taken off q
few days after the announcement of
the Great Northern getting control
of the road. 1t was promised at that
time that the train would be put
back on by fall. The Sioux Falls
Commercial club at one took up the
matter with the railway officials and
it appears that their presentation OF
need of the Sunday service had suf-
ficient weight to prompt the officials
TO resume the service earlier than
would have been the case otherwise.
The work along the line is prog
ressing steadily. New ties are scat
tered along the entire length of the
road and many crews of workmen
are engaged in putting them in place
and getting the track in shape for
the faster schedule. which will be in
~augurated this fall.

FAVORABLE OUTLOOK
INFANTILE PARALYSIS IL NOT
SPREADING IN THIS PART
OF THE STATE.

C~ommendabIe precautions are be
ing taken to prevent the spread of
i~nfantile paralysis in Sioux Falls,
Dell Rapids, Trent and Lyons, ac-
cording to Or. w. f. Daniels, mem
Der of the state board of health, who
has returned to the city after having
investigated outbreaks of the disease
in those places.
There are two cases Of ~infantile
paralysis in Sioux Falls, two in Deli
Rapids, one in Lyons and one in
Trent. The doctor visited all four
places in his capacity as member of
the state board.
Or. Daniels said that of the six at
tlicted persons whom he visited, two
are and four are children.
The women are paralyzed in the
arms and legs, while the children
are directly affected only in the low
er limbs. Attending physicians and
local health officers are doing just
about all that can be done toward
isolation and sanitation, DR.. Daniels
explained. Instructions we're given
local health officers to place all per
sons %eyincing symptoms of the dis
ease under strict quarantine. Homes
i'm which there are outbreaks of the
malady are to be kept under quar-
antine longer than the regulation
period. SO far. no deaths from in
fantile paralysis have been reported
since the recent outbreak.
