this issue that the public schools,

on account of the Spanish Influenza,
may open on Wednesday of this

reference to funerals must be better
complied with int he future than it
has in the past. The term private
funeral not only means that the pub
lie is to be excluded from attending
the actual services, but also that no
one but members of the immediate
families are to be permitted to see or
be with the remains from the time
of death until burial, except such
persons as may. by reason of their
business or other connections, have
| the right to do SO; the public must
be excluded if the epidemic of In
| fluenza is to be controlled.

effected by having the goitre remov-
ed by surgical operation. The op-
GRAFTON was most successfully per-
formed by DR.. Follis, assisted by Drs.
Goldsborough and Mace, on the third
of October, since which time Mr.. ms
ley has steadily improved, and was
able to leave the hospital for his
home last Saturday. His physicians
assure him that his operation will re-
suit in the complete restoration Of
his former health and strength.
