THE KAISER AND HIS PEOPLE


We are all interested to get informa-
tion about the kaiser and the German
people aud the relations between them.
DR.. Arthur y. Davis, for II years the
kaiser 5 dentist, gives us the benefit
of his observations in his recent book.
"The Kaiser as Know Him. The
kaiser comes first, then the fatherland

Subscriptions Must Be
Paid in Advance

The War Industries Board, in Its efforts
to conserve the paper supply. has ruled that
newspapers must stop all subscriptions
IMMEDIATELY UPON EXPIRATION.
This means that subscribers must keep
their subscriptions PAID IN ADVANCE
in order to be certain Of getting The Re-
former regularly. Notice of expiration Of
subscription is always sent in advance; do
not neglect it and then blame the publisher
for what is your own fault.

The MeddLer
II The coat fits you, PM il on

On the eve of resuming normal ac-
Invites after FIVE weeks of restriction
on account of the influenza epidemic,
Brattleboro people would do well to
bear in mind that the need of being
careful Will not cease with the lifting
OF the ban on public gatherings Happi.
~, the disease has been held well in
check here, as is shown by the small
number of local cases compared to those
in other towns of the same size, but
there is still enough of it to cause a
great deal of trouble if reasonable pre-,
caution is not continued In this con
nection il may not be out of place to
call attention 10 the statement of DIR.
Tucker that continuance of the cpl
demic is due in large measure to persons
who have the disease in such light form
that they do not realize its nature and
consequently take no precautions. Fol
the next few weeks people who feel any
of the numerous symptoms Indicative
of influenza should shun public gather
ings of all sorts. From now on the
stamping out of the grip germ rests
largely with the individual How well
he will accomplish it remains TO be seen
|
As for the opening of schools it is
generally conceded that the step is not
premature provided parents watch their
ichildren carefully and keep them al
home the moment any suspicious symp
toms become apparent. In the ease OF
a good many children the watch thai
will be put over them in the schoo
room is likely to be more searching
than they would receive at home. Will,
the routine of school work should i
anything prove less dangerous than un
Restricted play Teachers should bea
lin mind, however, that they cannot b,
too careful in their lookout for incipien
eases. School work already has suf
fered a considerable interruption an,
nothing that can be done TO proven
further interference with the schcdul
should be neglected.

what we may think about the road
