Home GUARDS
MEETING AT MITCHELL VOICES
PEACE TIME NEEDS.

Mitchell, Dec. 10.-Plans for the
complete reorganization of the home
guards of South Dakota for effective
and essential peace work were dis
cussed and formulated at the meet
ing held in Mitchell in which Adjt.
Gen. Morris and As officers of the
various companies around the state
participated.
The first question raised was rs to
whether the home guards should be
disbanded 10Y or should be utilized
as a nucleus for a permanent organ
ization. Gen. Morris permitted a
wide range of discussion and opinions
were freely given. 1t seemed to be
the concensus of opinion that now
that there is no national guard, the
home guards should be built up into
an organization whose services to the
public in peace times could be much
more varied and just as valuable as
in war. For one thing, it was stated
by Capt. w. E. Roberts, of the Sioux
Fails company, who with Col. Fred
Watson, of that city, represented the
Sioux Falls boys, that the distribu-
tion of home guard units in South
Dakota might with advantage be re-
arranged with more regard to geo.
graphical status. Capt. Roberts also
presented some ideas for the educa-
tion of the guards which would tend
to build them all up to a certain
standard within a year.
The meeting was harmonious and
resulted in the adoption of the out
line much as stated above and a well
developed plan will be presented to
the legislature.

DISCUSS INFLUENZA
REGULAR WEEKLY MEETING OF
THE CITY COMMISSION.

The city commission met in egg
ular session last evening with all
present.
Aside from the arranging of a con-
tract for doing filling and grading at
the end of the bridge on Egan ave-
S there was little business ex-
cept the influenza situation and
some matters pertaining to auto
to come before the meet
ing. 1t was conceded that the cpl
demic is increasing and that ways
and means must be provided at once
looking towards it's control. The re-
ports of many new cases influenced
the commissioners to act immediate
ly. Since the close of the emergency
hospital formerly used, it was point
ed out that there was a crying need
for a similar temporary hospital
where persons suffering from influ-
enza could be isolated and cared for.
A suitable vacant building-the old
Mansion house-was suggested as
available. The mayor asked Com
missioner A. G.. Schmidt to confer
with local chairman, III. III. Holdridge
of the Red Cross, with reference to
the management and care of pa
tients should the city go to the eX-
pense of renting and maintaining
such a hospital. A meeting was ar
,a = rod fAlav and TnxNn ~ tccinpa ~
Schmidt and Mr.. Holdridge are work
ing on the plan suggested last even
ing. 1t has been decided to rem the
Mansion house and get it in shape
at once for the reception of patients.
The whole epidemic situation was
placed before the board OF county
commissioners today and they unani-
mously decided to assist the local
Red Cross, the city commission and
the health authorities in any way
possible that looks toward the safe
guarding of the public health.
Though there is a scarcity of
nurses, it will not be long before the
temporary hospital will be open and
ready to receive and care for any pa
tients that seek isolation.
The commissioners also decided
last evening to place influenza and
pneumonia cases in private homes
under rigid quarantine, hoping thus
to retard their spread. This may
seem too much restraint in the
minds of some, but ii must be re
membered that the danger point in
the situation has about been reached
for 1t is given out by a reputable
Madison physician that influenza Is
much on the increase, and new cases
are being reported in almost daily
Some cities have placed on the bar
the second time and others are re
curing the use of masks in public
The commissioners feel that to take
any reasonable step just now to pre-
vent the spread of influenza will be
well considered by those who have g
fear that the epidemic may break Out
anew in Madison and sweep many in.
