FLU QUARANTINE IS
ADOPTED
Strict Measures Taken to Stamp
Out Epidemic in City and
County

The city and county health boards

er the best measures 10 be adopted IN
the prevention OF the Spanish infiu-
enza epidemic. 1t was decided to be
advisable that ali public gatherings
oe again closed, and that CARDS Of
warning be used on houses known to
contain cases of flu. Accordingly
printed rules and regulations were
gotten out and posted, prohibiting all
meetings except the schools; this lat
ter being left to the decision of school
authorities.
1t is hoped by the adoption of these
precautionary measures to quell the
disease in this county.
The most recent reports from local
physicians are quite encouraging, there
oelng a very slight increase in the
number of cases and but one or two
cases are anywhere near serious.
Schools generally in the country, dis
tricts have been closed, not because of
alarming conditions, but as pre-
cautionary measures. The regulations
of the county board are strict and
positive. Absolute quarantine of all
cases is required under penalty of a
In this the board re-
quests, and should have, the fullest CO.
operation of every citizen. Then the
stamping out of the disease will be
quickly accomplished, and the re-
strictions placed upon business and
public gatherings can be safely remov-
ed. Parents should closely watch their
and keep them at home if
their condition is not normal. Adults
should confine themselves to their
homes if indisposed. In that way the
spread of the disease will be eliminat-
ed.

We feel fortunate here if we get a
good look at Old Sol once week. 1t

good beds, good bath and good eats,

WASHINGTON


Comedy holds full sway in ANA
rilly of Clothes Line Alley" the next
Aircraft picture following Stella
Maris.' which stars Mary Pickford,
and which will be exhibited at the
Washington theatre, tonight
While in every picture presenting
Miss Pickford there has been more or
less comedy and the star has time and
again proven herself Coincidence Of
rare ability as we'll as an actress cap
able of any height of emotional acting,
it Is said that there has never before
been a Pickford fhotoplay wherein
humor predominated to such an ex-
tent as in this new story of the slums.
There are many moments OF gen.
uine pathos and any number Of thrills
in the course Of the picture, but laugh
ter will hold sway, overcoming mo.
mentary predisposition to tears.
Throughout the story Our Mary"
winsome, dainty witbal, presents =
convincing figure of the little tene-
ment girl straying far afield into the
realms of the idle rich, lured by the
Establishments of a scion of wealth,
but returns at last to her natural en-
vironments, where she finds happi-
ness.
