tanned men from the spruce and fir for

belt of the South; woodsmen and saw
mill operators from New England and
Michigan; graduates and students from
forest schools all over the country and
skilled employees from lumber concerns.
They cut timber with rapidity which
made the French open their eyes in sur
prise. They did things which they had
been told were impossible. The group at
one mill would make a record one day,
only to learn that some other company
smashed it the next day. Old French saw
mills buzzed with speed to which they
were not accustomed; and mills which
were supposed to turn out 10000 feet a
day made it $4,000 feet and then 10000
feet, One mill which was rated with a
capacity Of 10000 feet of lumber in a
l0-hour day made the record of the war
when it ground out l77,4s6 feet in %
hours. 35 minutes. This was done by
the 9th company.
On one occasion a 10,000-foot mill was
moved distance of 25 miles and was in
operation AZ hours after it ceased saving
in its first location. Five days had been
allowed as a reasonable time to move
the mill. That shows something of the
speed with which these forestry boys
made things hum when they got to
France.

EPIDEMIC HERE
Of DIPTHERIA
~ SHH ~
Health OFFICER Thompson Gives
Suggestions TO Check Same
Diphtheria is epidemic in this city.

Diphtheria is epidemic in this city.
This fact was today by
Health Officer Charles $. Thompson.
During the past few months there
have been many cases reported, but
st was thought that the disease was
letting up. However, as there have
been eleven cases reported so far this
e month, 81 is still considered epidemic
here. Very few of the cases have
proved to be fatal, and although the
epidemic is considered serious, there
Is said to be no cause for alarm.
y -Oiphtheria is the hardest Of all dis
eases to handle, according to he
~health department., as il is spread by
carriers. That is, a person who does
not necessarily have the disease, may
carry the germ &. SON one else. The
Board of Health is trying to find the
carrier of the disease here, but has
been unsuccessful as yet. Not only
the disease prevalent here, but other
cities also have a diphtheria epidemic.
- The Board of Health urges that
people take more precautions against
the disease and consult q physician at
the first s~igns-ofva sore throat. The
following diphtheria cases have been
sgiven out for publication by Health
Officer Thompson:
y Don't'ahoW yodr children to put in
their mouths pencils, ~penholders,
etc, used by other children.
- Don't allow the patient to occupy
q room with others.
81 Don't allow food to stand in the
sick room and become infected, and
y thus possibly convey the disease to
others. Destroy all food that has
been exposed in the sick room by
pouring upon 1t pint of chloride OF
lime solution.
d" Don't allow the nurse or any one
!, attending the patient to inject her
self or any one else by getting her
3 hands soiled by contact with the pa
tient. The hands should always be
washed after attending to the patient
with chloride of lime solution or one
of the other disinfestant solutions
+, Don't allow the person in charge
of the patient to nlingle with the rest
Of the family.
Don't allow dogs. cats or other
family pets in the house during the
. Illness.
Don't allow b~edclothes used in the
room of the patent to lie about. They
should be put in a pail Of water to
which q tablespoonful of chloride Oh
lime has been added before being re-
moved from the sick room.
Don't allow flies or other Insects TO
carry the germs from the patient to
other persons, or to food that other
persons may eat. Use fy-screens, fly
papers, or kill the flies and other IN
Sects.
Don't allow the nurse to neglect
disinfecting all dishes, napkins, or
eating utensils with boiling hot water
or chloride of lime solutions.
Don't keep "a patient in the house
If all these rules cannot be carried
A hospital is much safer for the
patient and the family.

Ter to do these things than to have
