MYSTERIOUS BURIAL

all appearances had been secretely
buried without ceremony in the Low

ADVISES COUNTY
HEALTH OFFICER
TO Have Jurisdiction Over the
Several Towns With Au-
thOrity to Enforce
Sanitation

The hiring of q permanent health
officer for Cherokee county was dis
cussed by Drs. Shipley and Graham
Thursday before the local doctors
and the members Of Baxter Springs
Chamber of Commerce.
DR.. Shipley is state health officer
from Topeka, and DR.. Graham, coun-
ty health officer, from Columbus.
They came here in response to an ap-
peal from the Chamber of Commerce
for assistance in cleaning up the city
as precaution against epidemics in
the spring.
From the roint of view Of the two
visiting doctors, the need Of such an
officer for this section of the c0un-
try is imperative and the expenses
for the upkeep of that office was
pointed out to be rather an easy mat
ter if the Chamber of Commerce and
Commercial Clubs of the county pull
led together.
The doctors contended that the min
ing camp here was unsanitary and
the existing conditions were liable to
be dangerous when the warm wealth
er set in or in case of an outbreak
of an epidemic. They believed that
with q health officer on the job all
the time with one of two nurses they
could effectively quarantine the pa
tients and check any epidemic.
DR.. Shipley stated that if the Cher
okee countJ commissioners can be in
duced to subscribe $4,000 toward the
upkeep of a health office, he was
pretty sure that $1,000 more could be
gotten from the Federal health bu-
reau to maintain a first class sani-
tary engineer for the county, with a
Red Cross free clinic and a labor
atory.
"a health officer is not to cure dis
ease" said DIR. Shipley. "His business
is to prevent it. That is the modern
version of u health officer"
A campaign to vaccinate those who
wish to be vaccinated for small pox
was launched last night. Each doc
tor will give a certain amount Of his
time to the work and the vaccina-
ton will be free of charge. An at
tempt is to be made to prevent the
spreading Of an epidemic in Baxter
Springs.
Il was recommended by DR.. Shipley
that vaccination be made compulsory
THAT is, not to allow any child to at
tend school for twenty-five days who
is not or does not want to be vaccina-
ted.

BAXTER TO VOTE
ON CITY MANAGER
Election Will Be Called in Com
pliance with Petition Filed
With the City Clerk
Recently

Secretary Mariner, in behalf Of the
Chamber of Commerce has again fill
ed with the City Clerk, o. NJ. Spratt,
the petition for the right to vote on
the question of city managership for
Baxter Springs. This petition was
in November and filed
with the city clerk, but the matter Of
calling the election was deferred un-
til it was too late to give the people
the opportunity to register for the
election. That being the case the pc
tition was withdrawn to be again
filed after the first of the year whrn
under the law go days from the date
of filing are allowed in which to hold
the election.
1t is obligatory under the law for
the Mayor to call the election, but
Mr.. Wrigh. has already expressed
n willingness to do so regardless Of
the legal requirements. He has not
yet announced the date of such cleo
tion, however. Likely he will set it
far enough ahead to give the electors
plenty of time to study the PROPOSE
tion carefully.

native to drafting boys just reaching
manhood, 81 years, Provost Marshal
Crowder has made to Secretary Of
War Baker the suggestion that the
draft age be increased from 81 to 45
years. The older mon to be drafted
would be mainly skilled mechanics.
This plan, it is held by General Crow

and would prevent the depletion OF
the manhood of a single decade. Cen
