SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC
AT FAYETTEVILLE
Said to Be in Mild Form.-Health
Authorities Forbid Public Meetings
of Amy Character.

1t has been known in Springdale
for some time that there were num-
erous cases of small pox in Fayette-
vile, but no mention was made of the
matter in the press of that city until
Monday of this week, probably due To
desire not to cause unnecessary
alarm. 1t was stated in Springdale
Saturday that twenty-seven families
were under quarantine, but Fayette-
vile newspaper issued Monday said
there were about thirty eases in which
physicians had been called. There
have been no deaths so far, ami the
disease is said to be in a mild form,
only a small number of serious cases
having developed Just how the dis
ease originated in Fayetteville is not
known.
The health authorities at Fayette-
Vile put the lid on Sunday morning,
forbidding public meetings of any
character for period of two weeks,
closing the public schools, churches
and theatres. So far work at the
State University continues without
interruption and it is not thought that
the institution will be required to
close. All students, however, are re-
quired to furnish certificate show
ing they have been vaecinated Stu
dents OF the public schools were not
required to observe the order of the
state board of health last fall to be
vaccinated and this is said to have
aggravated the present trouble. Ply
siciaEs nave not been able to secure
vaccine in sufficient quantities to meet
the demand but as fast as it is receiv-
ed old and young are being vaceinated
and every preeaution is being taken
to prevent further spread of the lis
ease.
Springdale had two or three cases
of small pox in mild form a few
weeks ago, but the disease was soon
stamped out without spreading.

FIRST AID TO THE INJURED.

In few days classes in First Aid
will be organized in Springdale.
The purpose OF this instruction offer
ed by the American Red Cross is to
train men and women to administer
First Aid treatment promptly and
intelligently when emergencies de-
mand such assistance. This is not
only benefit to one in war times,
but at ALL times-in ALL homes
and in every industry.
The Primary First Aid course con-
sists of ten Tssses and derf-lsliiiIu
tions of one and oie-half hours each
total of fifteen hours instruction
These lectures are given by a physi-
clan in active practice, who is a grad
uate of a recognized medical school
and who has received the degree of
Doctor of Medicine.
Each class should consist of about
fifteen members. The minimum age
limit is sixteen years. Anyone desir-
ship in the Red Cross, while desirable,
is not obligatory. Any charge that
may be made by the class instructor
is matter to be arranged between
him and the class. The Red Cross APP
proves Of instructors donating such
services or Of making reasonable
charge for instrueting classes, but it
prefers not to give advice relative to
the amount of such fees In addition
to the charge for instruction, if any,
a regular fee of fifty cents is charg-
ed each student This fee covers the
expense to the Red Cross for station
cry and postage and general super
vision of the work
