that military dictatorship persists
There has been no change in thu

Food Prices Soar.
Food prices have continued to soar
and there has been a scramble of the
people generally to lay IN as much as
they could place their hands OIL. The
markets were besieged and all the stalls
soon stripped. Attempts at profiteering
evoked bitter opposition. several shops
being wrecked. Tie inability of the poor
to pay the prices demanded for staple
foods is bound TO cause considerable
distress and agitation.
Ia consequence of Dr. kapps abdica
ton. Berlin will be under a military
dictatorship until the civil government
is re-established, in order to thwart
radical plots.
The fact that the Independents and
communists so far have not resorted to
the extreme violence characterizing the
revolutionary strikes Of 1919 is regard

differences: first. that they are biding

HEALTH REGULATIONS.
For Full Quarantine; All Cases Strict
ly Isolated.

Hereafter all cases under full quar-
antine for a communicable disease will
be strictly isolated The head of the
family will be allowed to leave the
house when quarantine is established,
and must not return until quarantine
is terminated excepting in cases OF
absolute necessity and the permission
of the health officer. He may remain
at home during the period of quaran-
tine but is not to leave the premises.
Previously the health department
has allowed the head of the family to
room at home, when the conditions
were such that no communication with
the case or those in attendance upon
the case was necessary or permissible.
From information received from sever
al reliable sources these privileges have
been imposed upon to the extent that
a constant menace to the health OF the
public existed which can no longer be
tolerated. II would seem that people
could be trusted to keep faith with q
project having for its object the saving
of human lives especially when Ger
tain privileges are allowed them in
times of affliction; apparently many
can not be. Therefore the necessity
of more rigid regulations to prevent
the spreading OF disease.
