DANGER OF PNEUMONIA YET.
Authorities Warn Of Necessity Of U.s.
Ing Every PccautIsa.

After very trying epidemic OF
Spanish Influenza. the danger point
OF spread has at last subsidized. How
ever, the danger from recurrence OF
the disease is by no means past. The
Board OF Health wishes particularly to
warn that while the lid has been lift
ed from the town they should exer-
else every reasonable precaution In
safeguarding their health during the
next few months. Epidemics OF this
type are slow in subsiding and there
is reason to believe that the disappear
ance OF this disease will be equally
slow, or more so. and so the authori-
ties, who have been making special
study OF Spanish Influenza warn that
danger of pneumonia turks during the
next few months, and possibly for a
year, as a result of this serious and
widely spread infection.
The raising of the Flu" ban does not
mean that the danger Is past, but 1t
does mean that there Is marked
change for the better in the spread
However, carelessness on the party
of the people at large could produce
recurrence. as experience In our city
has shown. 1t is we'll. therefore, To
hold no non-essential meetings OF the
celebration or gaiety order. but post
pone such gatherings for several
weeks.
The reasons for this request is that
| persons recently affected with infiu-
enza may unconsciously still be car
riers and thus should not frequent.
public places.
1t is further recommended that
health authorities. including teachers
who are in charge OF pupils, continue
to cooperate In keeping all pupils
with colds" from attending school
and that the clergy recommend non
attendance to church and Sunday
school of any who are afflicted with
colds or symptoms of influenza.
Since the state board OF health|
looks to the local health authoritiesI
to put in their localities the most eff
fective measures in operation for thei{
health projection, II has been no pleas
ant task to fulfill this duty.
Criticism has been severe and unjust.
The executive officer does not make
these laws, but he Is held responsible
for the carrying out OF orders placed
upon him by the state board and local
board as well.
The use OF DR.. Larson's hospital for
emergency cases has proven sue
cess. 1t seems to have helped In ar
resting the spread OF the epidemic
as well as giving the patients chance
to recover.
Every city needs a permanent hos
pital for patients with communicable
diseases. The number of influenza
cases in the city has been total OF
ffty-four, and ten of pneumonia.

We received "hurry-up" message

emphasis placed upon the request. AS
matter OF fact, the amount OF money
that a newspaper gets on the average

In fact we would gladly give up the

stain which has been cast upon that
primary through the expenditures
made at the time We hope that some
good. wholesome law will be passed
and we believe that the country papers
of Michigan should be assisting in its
passage rather than throwing stones
at 1t. We suggest that the papers in
terested in opposing this proposed
legislation turn their attention to
getting for country papers what right
fully belong to them; that they help
in getting laws passed that will make
publicity in all public affairs compul-
sorry so that neglected. and dishonest

country newspaper is public utility

nrnE WAY TO RECONSTRUCT

|rhe present administration has
|ne lot OF talking about finding
aces for our returned soldiers. All
brts of paternalistic schemes have
ben suggested One suggests that a
OF swamp land be drained by
;yernment financing and the millions
acres thus redeemed sold to the
ldier boys, another wants the idle,
lover lands stumped and sold to
0ldiers, another would criss-cross
tie country with paved roads SO as
10 give employment TO the boys, but
none OF ahem. so far as The Diamond
Drill has noted, suggests the separa-
ton of aliens-many OF them unde-
sirables and agitators from the Jobs
they are holding and the turning over
Of these jobs to the soldier boys.
It's simple remedy and the only
logical, 100 per cent American RENE
dy. Not alone separate these aliens
from their Jobs, but cart them bag and
baggage back to the place they came
from. II the administration is really
sincere in it's talk about making the
world safe for democracy 1t will begin
right at home and make secure the
fountain head OF democracy, this Unit
ed States OF America which is just
now threatened with anarchy by lot
OF Old World agitators who came here
TO escape the hardships OF autocracy
and now seek to engulf their bene-
factors in q wave OF anarchy
There isn't any danger OF the boys
who donned the uniform OF Uncle Sam
breeding any anarchy or any unAmer-
icanism. He's too well anchored. So
IL we want to root out the bad spots
in our industrial and social life, weed
out and deport the germ that's breed
ing disease-the alien. Put in his
place the man who knows what a
blessing il is TO be an American and
who isn't backward in defending it,
That's the way to reconstruct this
country.

Henry Ford, in his appeal for a re-
count. has insulted every election Of
ficial in the upper peninsula and in
western Michigan. He accuses them
OF violation OF the election laws by
saying that they counted votes cast for
him for Mr.. Newberry. The average
precinct official wasn't so interested
in the contest as Mr. Ford thinks, or
rather as his lawyers would make Il
