MAYSvILLE ONE OF THE
HEALTHIEST OF CITIES
Health Officer in Statement TO Busi-
ness Men Says Maysyille Is One
Of the Safest Places In the
United States.

The influenza epidemic in Maysville
and Mason county is past so far as
danger is concerned and although
there are still some restrictions of the
Health Board these restrictions are
being kept in force simply to prevent
another outbreak of the disease which
shows good common sense and judg-
ment on the part of the Health Board
members.
Business has practically resumed its
normal state but there appears to be
few who fear the situation. To allay
all fear and to put the thing squarely
before the people the Chamber of
Commerce has asked the County
Health officer for clear statement on
the matter
After securing his statement the
business men have issued printed
statements on the condition which
they are mailing with their letters to
customers. The statement which is
headed "Maysville Health Statement"
is as follows:
The influenza epidemic is past
Maysville suffered less than many
cities. Normal conditions were more
quickly restored. Maysville continues
to be one of the healthiest cities in
America.
In a formal statement, DR.. ]. S,
Locke, County Health officer, an
| nounces:
so far as influenza and pneumonia
are concerned, Maysville is one of the
safest places in the United States"
Practically all restrictions have
been removed. All amusement places
are open. For your health's sake, as
we'll as for business and pleasure,
come to Maysville.

COUNTY FLU Ban
IS AGAIN MODIFIED
BY HEALTH OFFICER
DIR. J. 5. Locke Announces That
Churches In the County May Hold
One Hour Services on Christ
mas and Sundays Fol-
lowing.


The ban which has been on very
tight in the county for several weeks
has been considerably modified by an
announcement made today by DR.. j.
S. Locke, County Health officer. The
announcement was that all country
churches might hold one service on
Christmas day which should not last
longer than one hour.
At these services DR.. Locke points
out that it is very necessary that the
building be not over heated and that
the worshipers not sit too close to-
gether in the pews. People from homes
where they have influenza or pneu-
monia shall not attend. Those, who
have coughs, colds or sore throat shall
not attend. Ministers are asked to see
that these precautions are complied
with.
After Christmas DR.. Locke says this
one hour service may be continued on
Sundays until further notice from the
Health Board. The situation has clear
ed up fine in the county within the
past week but DR.. Locke points out
that he wants to keep conditions good
and prevent any breaking out of the
disease that might come from such
gatherings.
Arrangements have already been
put under way for the opening of the
county schools on Monday, December
80. The State Board of Health was Of
ficially requested a few days ago for
permission to open the county schools
on December 80 and that body has
given Mason county's health officer
power to act in the matter. DR.. Locke
says he feels certain the schools will
be able to open at this date and that
conditions will be perfectly safe.
Health Officer Locke has suggested
to Superintendent Turnipseed the en-
forcement of the following rules:
II child is complaining Of being sick
send him home until determined they
do not have Influenza or pneumonia.
Let no child come to school who has
a cough, cold or sore throat without
first consulting physician.
No child will be permitted to attend
school from a home which has in il
influenza and pneumonia until ten
days after the person who is sick has
been discharged by physicians.

VIII Keep Salespeople Busy
For Entire Week.

When Old Santa Claus calls at the
Maysville stores to get his supply of
gifts for both old and young just be-
fore he starts out on his trip over the
world Christmas Eve, he had better
come in a pretty good sized auto truck
if he expects to take away all of the
gifts that have been tagged for him
within the past few days.
Maysville merchants report that
they have been enjoying one of the
best Christmas business runs during
the past three or four shopping days
that they have had in years previous
and all indications are that business
will be kent at high tide all during the
present week.
Despite the fact that shoppers have
found thousands of gifts on the shell
YES of the local shops, they have been
replenished from time to time and ev-
cry morning when the shops are OPEN
ed fine and complete line of Christ
mas goods is to be found. Those who
are shopping in Maysville this year
are more than pleased with what they
find and although many come not
knowing just what they want, they are
not long in finding just the very thing
that will fit their need.
Many of the stores with great as
sortments of Christmas goods have be-
gun to remain omen after supper and
will remain omen at nights until
! Christmas eve.
