No cases have developed in the high
school building. But to be on the safe
side, as soon as any student shows
signs of wanting to sneeze or has the
appearance of having cold, that stu
dent is sent home at once. This plan
is being followed out in all the schools.
With the panicky feeling that
many have under the present conditions
reports of all kinds are being tele-
phoned into the office of the city
health officer as to this or that per-
son who shows the least inclination to
have a cold.
Information coming to the health of
ficer from Washington, ID. c., is:
"There is no such thing as an effect
i've quarantine in the case of pandemic
influenza, but precautionary measures
may and should be taken" :.
Besides the suggestion that one
should take the usual precautions
against taking cold or of keeping
one, there is new one and that is
that the mouth should be well washed
lout each morning with warm salty
water.

BUGGY TURNED OVER;
NO SERIOUS DAMAGE

What might have been serious
accident happened Saturday evening
as David Loomis Of Lyons drove up
to the house to let his mother and
sister out. He turned the horse and
in doing so lost control of one of the
lines. The horse kept turning, which
threw the buggy over onto one side
and the occupants were thrown out,
escaping serious injury. The horse
became excited and started to run in
a circle, still drawing the buggy
After a space Of few minutes the
horse was caught and Embarrassed, al
though turned around in the thills,
facing the buggy. A part of the har-
ness was broken and the buggy quite
badly damaged. A close examination
showed that the line had caught on
the wheel, which caused the horse to
turn.
