Automobile owners have had from

LIEUT.. c. ID. SHELDON
AFTER THE SICK ONES
Says Men Should Not Take Diseases
To The Camps

This week, DR.. Chas. F Atwood,
county health officer, accompanied
by Lieut.. Chas. d. Shelton, an army
medical officer visited all the physi-
clans in the county and impressing
upon them the necessity of prompt
reporting and quarantine of COM
municable diseased They visited
Abilene and Solomon physicians yes
terday. Lieut.. Shelton has been as
signed by SUPERINTENDENT Gorgas
to investigate the state and local
boards of health as to their effici'
ency in disease control, and to insist
upon energetic and prompt quaran-
tine.
This action of the War Depart
ment is explained by Lieut.. Shelton
as follows: "A great any people, and
some few physicians, are disposed
to look upon measles, humps
whooping cough, chickenpox and
German measles as mild diseases
which every one must have, and
therefore no precautions to prevent
their spread are necessary. Yet
these diseases contracted by the
non-immune soldier when he first
enters camp are serious affairs. They
not only make him liability in
stead of an asset to the government
for four to six weeks but they
make him a ready victim for more
serious infections such as pneumon-
ia, diphtheria and meningitis. If
he does not contract these, at least
an attack of measles or humps de-
lay his training for a considerable
time, and most persons are familiar
with the possible results of a delay
ed army at this critical period.
Or, Atwood assured Lieut. Shelf
on that the people Of Dickinson
county are loyal citizens and that
the Kaiser will not continue to prof
it as result of their carelessness
in the spread of these diseases. Every
physician promised his cooperation
in prompt reporting and quarantine
of cases in his care, and to keep the
health officer informed of cases in
their communities not attended by
