ed by the local fire department dur
ing the month of February estab-
fishes a record, not equalled in any

spite the fact that the cold weather
hampered the work of the firemen,
the efficiency of the local depart
ment was perhaps never better il
Illustrated.
For the most part roof fires pre-
vailed, as many as II being fought
i'm one day. In a feW1 cases the Oc-
cupants of the houses were away at
the time. Several fires of unknown
origin were also reported. Damage
done did not exceed $500, with the
exception of the Colonial theater,
where the loss was estimated at
about $4,000, part of which was
covered by insurance.
Companies from the central sta
ton answered a call at 4:45 o'clock
Thursday morning when sparks
from the chimney started roof fire
at the residence of Lon Stowe, 329
$. Taylor st. Damage will amount
to SO. \ fire at the O'Brien Var
nish works was eXtinguished at
1O:45 o'clock Thursday morning by
central firemen before any damage
was inflicted. The origin of the fire
is unknown.

A mans honesty and personal in
tegrity was at stake in city court
Thursday morning i'm the case for

consin and who says that he will
return there providing he is re-
leased by the court.
lie has two children and Mrs
Singrey had asked that the court
compel him to help her i'm their
support. Reconciliation between
husband and wife had already prov
ed a failure for the wife had de-
clared that she would not live with
Singrey under any circumstances.
He on the other hand had threat
ened that he would not support her
even if she secured his arrest. The
court ordered that he pay his wife
SO each week for the support OF the
children and then attorneys argued
the question Of the mans honor.
During the whole while the pris-
oner sat non-committai on the pris-
oner's chair The judge entered his
finding Of guilty and an order to
pay So each week 10 the wife for
the support Of the children. Then
pond Of 500 was asked and under
this he will be held until the case

CHILDREN ARE CARED
FOR AT SMALL COST
Report of Day Nursery Shows 2S7
We're Kept There During
February.

At an average cost to the parents
of little more than 10 cents per
day for each child. the Circle OF
Mercy day nursery has cared for
3S7 children during the month of
February. according 10 the monthly
report turned in To the Federation
for Social Service at the close of
the month.
The total receipts of the nursery
during the month amounted TO
$27.S5. But a small charge is made
for each child kept at the nursery
during the day and in the case the
parent or parents are very poor. the
fee is not demanded. The largest
number of children cared for on
any day was %.
Expenses for the month are eX-
pected TO amount 10 approximately
the same amount as were recorded
in January of this year. S131.44.
Some slight reduction may be made
owing to the fact that the month
contains but 2S days. several of
which have been holidays. Part of
the expense is chargeable to the
lunches and dinners that are served
TO the youngsters. II has been
practice Of some Of the tradespeo-
pie to make a 1870 reduction TO
the nursery but still with the rising
cost of foodstuffs the expenses of
the nursery have mounted.

PEOPLE VIOLATE
QUARANTINE LAW
Failure to Report Diseases
and to Cooperate Causes
Spread of Scarlet Fever.

Failure 10 report scarlet fever
cases 10 reputable physicians or 10
the health department at once. was
given by Health officer Bosenbury
as the principal cause OF the wide
spread OF the disease
According 10 the latest reports
there are 6S separate houses under
quarantine and some OF them con-
tain as many as five patients. No
accurate count OF the actual num-
Der OF people afflicted with scarlet
fever is possible
As evidence OF the carelessness of
some people the doctor cited a case
that was brought forcibly 10 his at
tention. After being kept at home
for several days. a child was again
returned TO the MuesseI school by
its parents. 1t had the typical red
tongue Of scarlet fever patient
and besides the skin was already
peeling. The teachers at once re-
turned the child home and reported
the matter 10 the health depart
ment
At II O'Clock the mother Of the
child was notified by the health
officers to keep the whole family
indoors at least for the day but at
l o'clock when a member of the
force went to the home 10 place il
under quarantine ne found that the
mother had placed a big washing
on the line and had gone off 10 the
city on a shopping tour.
Such carelessness the health or.
ficer declared is not unusual and he
refused TO give the name of the
offending family. He said that a
few of this kind OF family could en-
tireIy counteract all or the work of
the health officials.
