Take Cultures.

Diphtheria cultures will he taken
today of all children attending the
east side school. This will serve as Il
preventive measure against further
outbreak of diphtheria in this section
of the city.
The city health authorities have the
matter i'm charge and the cultures will
be administered by the health physi-
clan, owing to the lack of Il school
nurse in the city schools this year.
The cultures were ordered yesterday
from Iowa City by City Manager Long.
The taking of cultures, which per-
mits the isolation Of carriers as well
as embryo cases of the disease. is
said to be the most effective way of
controlling the contagion. These meas
ures were employed during the diph-
iberia epidemic in this city two years
ago when a number of deaths occurred.

tent of one dollar.
The law does not go into effect I'M

is reduced somewhat. but at any rate
the minimum stands at $40.

Suggest Corn Picking Prices.

The board of directors of the Ham
ilton County Farm Bureau have adopt
ed resolution suggesting that the far.
mers OF the county pay seven ard eight
cents per bushel this fall for huskina
corn. This is the price being general
ly fixed upon over the state this fall.
The resolution adopted here is as fol-
lows:
Whereas, the prevailing price for
the state of Iowa seems to be in
the neighborhOod of seven and
eight cents, seven cents where an
elevator is furnished and eight
cents without an elevator. making
cent buShel difference where
corn has to be scooped. differ
ence also being made where a man
furnishes his own team and wag-
on. 1t is suggested that this price
be followed.
The above resolution is only suS-
sestion because it was thought best not
to fix the price. Bat uniform price
for Hamilton county will tend to, dis
tribute corn huskers more uniformly.
