TWO DISTRICTS NOW
BEYOND THEIR QUOTA

The Minneapolis and st. Louis Federal
Reserve Districts were officially report
cd tonight as having subscribed 1903
and I02 per cent. respectively. Of their
quotas. and hcadGua recognized
the claim OF the ST Louis district Of
having gone over the top first.
Atlanta district has reached s2l.71l,.
100. or y per cent.
The low standing OF the Atlanta dis
trict is explained by the d!stric, mana
gers as caused largely by delay OF in
dividua!s and banks in making first in.
stallment payments on their subscrip-
tions. Since pledges arc not reported
officially until these payments are
made. the districts standing is adj
versely affected. Campaign managers
of the district insist that the 100 paI
cent mark will be passed before the
end OF the subscription period.
The Atlanta district will celebrate
Liberty Day and Memorial Day stimuli.
ianeously on Friday. Fathers and sons
wearing the gray and the khaki will
march together in many paradcs As an

Subscribers Paying Up Nicely.

We are highly pleased with the inn
mediate response made to our notice Of
last week asking our subscribers to
look up the date to which their Plain
Dealer is paid, and then to hand or send
US the amount due and IN advance pay
ment as well, to enable US to meet the
requirements of the War Industries
Board. But while q goodly number
called to settle their accounts. they are
few in comparison with the total pum-
Der in arrears for the Plain Dealer, and
if we get even the larger number of
back subscriptions paid up in the time
allotted US, it will mean bigger rush Of
subscribers than we have had. No
fear of swamping US. however. for we
have just printed q new lot of receipts
and are ready for you.

Check Spread Of Influenza.

Every possible precautionary meas
are is being taken to prevent the spread
of influenza. The slogan, "Handker-
chief that cough and sneeze, has been
adopted all over Iowa.
DR.. John H. Hamilton, state cpl
demiologist, in an interview on preven'
tive measures declared that influenza is
the most readily communicable dis
ease known. In previous epidemics
about 10 per cent of the total popula-
tion of the country has become infect
ed. Patients with the disease should be
isolated as carefully as persons suffer-
ing with diphtheria, he declares.
Precautionary measures suggested by
the state epidemiologist include the fol-
lowing recommendations:
Avoid crowds or crowded places
whenever possible.
Do not place your hands in your
mouth unless you know they Al clean.
Keep in the best possible physical
condition.
Eat plenty of wholesome, easily d.
gested food at regular intervals.
Drink plenty of water-at least eight
or ten glasses day. =.
Take moderate outdoor exercise.
Sleep in we'll ventilated rooms.
See that the bowels move regularly.
Keep water pans on radiators in fur
mace heated rooms so that the air will
be moist.
'There is no efficient serum or an
titoxin which will assist US in the con-
troll of the disease says DR.. Hamil-
ton. 1--WE must rely entirely on pain
stalking personal hygiene. ~
In. regard to the organism causing in
fluenza, DR.. Hamilton stated that it
is found only in the secretions of the
respiratory tract of patients suffering
from the disease or who have recovered
from it or who will soon develop it.
The germ material is conveyed from
one person to another largely by direct
contact, but to a certain extent by
means of common roller towels, drink
ing cups, and other things contamina-
ted with the secretions of the respira-
tory tract of some person infected. i
Persons attending influenza patients
should wear a mask made of gauze,
tie epidemiologist I'D vises, large enough
to completely cover the mouth and
nose. Two or three layers of gauze
are sufficient to keep out infective ma
terial. Thorough cleanliness at the
bedside is probably more efficient in
controlling the disease than terminal
3isins lection or famigation. 3

Milk Prices-.-A Statement.

All over the country the price of milk
has been rapidly advancing until in
nearly every city and town it has been
retailing from l2o to 15c per quart.
Cresco has been an exception as the
local dealers have managed to keep the
prices down. But this can be done no
longer. The farmersecan get more for
their milk by separating and selling the
cream to the creamery, and 50 the milk
dealers are obliged to pay more or get
no milk.
Therefore at the close of this month
we will be obliged to raise the price.
and beginning November lst, until fur
ther notice, the price will be 1Oc per
quart and 5ac pei. pint delivered in bot
ties. Special prices in quantities. All
bills payable monthly.
Respectfully submitted,
C. J. Harlan.

Two Decatur County Boye at Camp
Dodge Selected to Attend Offic-
ers Training School.

Corporal Ralph :, .Fafa Burnley, , 81 81
this city, was one OF the fortunate
soldiers at Camp Dodge who were
selected to attend the Officers Train
ing School. which opened at Camp
Dodge Monday There were over
1900 applications from soldiers at
Camp Dodge, but only 290 were Sc
lected from the camp. The total
number enrolled at the training
school is 5O6,, and of this number
PIG are civilians and men from
other camps. The school will close
April 5th, at which time those who
pass favorable examinations will re-
ceive commissions. Ralph will try
for commission in the artillery,
which is hard branch '0f the serv-
ice, but he likes it very much. M.
L. Seder, of Lamont, who has been
at Camp Dodge since the first quota
was called, was also one of the for
tunate ones to be selected to at
tend the training school. The train
ing school is located at the south end
of the camp, directly east of the In
terurban station. The men in n at. at
noon and Sunday off each week. pro
viding they have done nothing dur
ing the week to. forfeit their pass.
The many friends of these two
Young men in Decatur county are
mighty glad to see them win this
coveted honor, and we will bank on
them both receiving commissions at
the close of the course.
