NO SCARLET FEVER in LOGAN.

The Logan schools were closed
at noon Tuesday for the Christ
mas vacation. One of the pupils,
Dolly Clulow, went home i'll Mon
day, and Tuesday morning, when
a physician was summoned, the
illness was diagnosed as scarlet
fever, and a quarantine of the
Glulow home ordered. Tuesday
another pupil in school was sent
home on account of illness. This
was one of A. II. Hubbard's chill
dren, but her illness is German
measles, according to the family
physician. The prompt action of
the school board in closing the
school will undoubtedly prevent a
spread of either of the diseases.
Anyway the pupils who are not
sick will enjoy the longer vaca-
tion. There are said to be sew
cral cases of German measles in
the town and country observer.
