the popular comedian. Mr.. Hoffman
modestly calls his play a "Collierism. /"
But any comedian could assuredly
find success in such a clear and direct

HEALTH OFFICER
 ISSUES WARNING

Until such time the the quarantine against influenza is lifted, Dr. More, the health officer, suggests that those who are suffering from colds, stay away from public places.
 The possibility that the influenza may unexpectedly appear, renders this advisable. As long as the possi- bility exists that the disease may ap- pear among us, a bad cold becomes a matter of suspicion at once, not only to the health officers, but to all observers.
 This request is made to prevent any feeling of nervousness from this cause.
 To those who have colds, the ad. vice is given to use handkerchief as a shield.
 A recent health bulletin covers this point by closing it's instructions with the following couplet:
 "Cover up each cough and sneeze If you don't you'll spread disease.

NEW LOCOMOTIVE
 NEARLY FINISHED

The first of the two big loco- motives received last summer, which is now being set up at the A. E. C.. machine shop, is rapidly nearing completion, and it is expected that in a few days more it will be ready for trial run.
 Yesterday afternoon the boiler was subjected to a hydraulic pres sure test and at a pressure of 220 pounds, a slight leak developed near one of the studs. The defect was soon remedied and the boiler is now ready for the steam test.
 The setting up of this locomotive which will be known as No. POS, has consumed about two weeks, but the work was not continuous. It is thought that working steadily at it, one of these big locomotives can be set up and made ready for duty in about ten days.
 The POS will probably go out on a trial spin within the next few days and on her return to the ma chine shop will receive a coat of paint and perhaps will then be sent out to relieve one of the locomotives at the front, which will be brought in to be thoroughly overhauled. As soon as the POS has been com pleted the setting up of the other big engine received last summer will be taken in hand.
