nearer the consumer" General Wood
wrote, land in giving farmer organ
izatlons every right and privilege
which other lawfully constituted
organizations enjoy. | believe that we
should spread the war burden over a
much longer period of years than at
present contemplated, and that good
business should be encouraged and bad
business regulated

government ownership of railroads, my
doubts arising from our experiences
during the war;
Senator Owen approved all the
planks of the farmers platform OK

ing from the disease, it is urged that
the Health Department - telephone
Worth 9400-be notified by persons
who discover cases of measles in their
family or in the neighborhood
"a doctor should be called at once"
Royal S. Copeland, Health Commits
sioner, says. when measles is found
to exist, and the sick child should be
kept in a quiet, we'll aired room, away
from other children, especially all un-
der five years of age"
Stress is placed upon the warning
that the sickroom should not be
darkened, but the bed should be placed
to prevent the sunlight shining into
the patients eyes. The room should
be free from carpets, hangings and
unnecessary furnishings.

from Youngstown indicated Johnson
would get considerable vote in that
