CURTAIL SERVICE

Director General McAdoo has or
dered curtailment of transcontinental
passenger schedules from Chicago
west, effective June 2, by eliminating
competition and cutting down running
schedules. 1t is planned to save
$4,000 train miles year, which will
amount to about s1S,O0O.O0O a year.
Extra fare trains will be eliminated.
Similar plans are being worked out
for southwestern territory and are
already in effect in the eastern dis
trict.
1t Is rumored that after June ] the
Southern Pacific will take off two pas
senger trains and the Western Pacific
will put on two additional trains.
The freight tonnage of the two roads
is to be increased. says the report,
and the tracks of the two companies
between Wells and Winnemucca, being
almost parallel for the entire distance,
will be used as double tracks for the
use OF both roads.

average OF two letters a week from
their families in America. But even
some OF the boys who have been in
hospitals seven or eight weeks have
not yet heard word from their peo-
pie.
III mothers and sisters only knew
what home letters mean over here.
Why. II gets to such a pass that the
nurses read aloud their own letters
and share them with the boys, so as
not to seem selfish. One OF the
nurses In my ward said she almost
hated to have the boys see her get
ting her regular weekly mail. II
made them so envious."

HOLDYOURN.S.sTAMPs
Until MATURITY DATE

There seems to be a growing i'm.
preston among some OF the holders
OF War Savings Stamps since actual
lighting in the world war has ceas-
ed. that necessity of retaining DOS
session OF the stamps already held
and the purchase of additional
stamps to the limit allowed no long
er exists. The Josephine county w.
5. 8. committee wishes to make II
plain to all that any such impression
Is erroneous.
War Savings Stamps were intro
duced and offered to the public by
the government for several reasons:
two OF which we're: First, to pro-
mote thrift and furnish the person
Of small means an opportunity for
safe investment and participation in
making the world safe from auto
cratic rule; the second reason was
for the purpose of securing funds
for the successful prosecution of the
war.
To demand payment now is to de-
feat both purposes OF the govern
ment; even though actual hostilities
have ceased there is stiil urgent need
Tor large sums of money for the
care OF the millions of our troops1
during the months that must elapse
before de-mobilization is complete
and the men safely returned to their
homes from the various cantonments
and foreign shores.
Those who pledged to buy stamps
are expected to complete same and
Gil are reminded that but six weeks
OF the pledge period remains.
Aside from any other reason, Il 4

your pledge; you should then retain
possession Of the stamps until ma

1t may in some exceptional cases
be necessary for purchasers OIL

lty, but very few; practice thrift and
economy. sacrifice along some other
line IL necessary, but hold on tol

and the government requests that
You do so.

chine gun bullets sprayed against

army officer who has spent three
months fighting with his tank in

not pierce the armor but It does

and hands OF the crew and stings

a simple bath of iodine solution will
heal the pain and prevent infection.

bullets the officer said:

The Germans were always trying to

AFTER WEEKS TRIAL, 1T is Be
LIEvED ATTENDANCE WILL

EVERY PREGAuTlON IS TAKEN
Teachers Watch Closely for First
Cough or Sign Of Other Illness
Only Three Holidays

The people of the community
seem to have good deal Of conf
dence in the Judgment of our city
and county health officers as shown
by the fact that. at the opening of
our city schools last Monday, nearly
every child was at his desk when the
roll was called" says John Gray
Incl. superintendent of our public
schools. Some of the rooms report-
ed 100 per cent in attendance the
first day.
The first morning every child
that had had influenza during the
vacation Of the schools, from Octo-
Der 16 to November IS, was sent to
the city health officer for certiff-
cate so that the other children of the
schools would not be exposed. Also,
all children that had colds or were
not feeling well were sent home.
Only well children are allowed in the
rooms and every precaution is taken
by the teachers to protect the chill
dren from the influenza. Now, while
the teachers are trying to protect
the children. the parents should do
their part also. and not send the
children to school when not feeling
well. In three different instances
the past week, parents have sent
their children to school although
they knew that they were not well.
and only by the watchfulness OF the
principals and teachers were these
children discovered and sent home.
One OF the mothers confessed to the
principal OF one OF the schools that
she made her child go to school al
though he was sick and did not want
to go. Under ordinary times this
would probably be all right but at
this time it Is all wrong"
The county superintendent has re-
ceived the following statement from
State Superintendent Churchill:
The state health board has ask
ed me to request through you that
our teachers be on the lookout for
all pupils who evidence any indica-
tion Of the influenza and promptly
exclude them from attendance until
they can furnish a medical certifi-
cate OF health. The state health
board further says that the signs of
Influenza are varied and are prob
ably too complex for a teacher to go
INTO at any great length, since ply
'icians themselves are frequently at
'ault in diagnosing it. The broad.
general plan that all pupils who are
nanifestly below par in health.
should be a guide inasmuch as such
