With the waning of the Spanish

Monday morning
DR.. c. T. Foster, city health com
missioner, announces that, although
the school was used for an emer-
gency hospital during the epidemic
and four patients are still confined
there, all will be discharged in time
for the fumigating OF the bulldog

manner as to make it even more
sanitary than before the school was
taken over by the Red Cross.
The floors and all woodwork will
be thoroughly scrubbed. Cleansing
will then take place with a chloride
OF lime antiseptic solution. This
will he followed by the use OF The
large type of fofmaldehyde fumiga-
tors. Or. Foster promises that
after all of these precautions are
taken there will not be a germ of
any description, roach or bug left
alive in the building Parents need
not feel the least alarm in
allowing their children to enter the
school next Monday, DR.. Foster as
serts.
The board of education has an
nounced that hard work will be
necessary on the part of scholars

Quitting work at $50, the hus-
band and father, unknowing what
awaited him, proceeded to his home.
He arrived about 6:15, ascending
the steps of his home to find the
lifeless bodies of his wife and two
children laid out upon the porch
floor awaiting arrival of the under
taker. Dazed, bewildered, unable to
believe the reality of this horrible
calamity which SO suddenly befen
him and his loved ones, the father
and husband sits stunned, head IN

1eighbor today. Life has suddenly
become empty, devoid of all prom
ise and inspiration for this young
man, who only yesterday dreamed
ways and means of greater happi-
ness for his cherished ones.
According 10 Coroner John G.
Miller, death was due principally to
esca ping gas. That the quantity of
unburned gas IN the rooms was
very small seems indicated by the
fact that, although the stove was
afiame, no explosion occurred. The
fire. however, absorbed all of the
life-giying oxygen IN the cottage, 1t
Is thought, thus bringing death TO
the weakened mother and her little
ones. Furnace registers, means
that might have proven a source of
ventilation and averted the trag-
edy, were found tightly closed, as
