To the Citizens of MeIlette County

Several cases of gastric fever and
one case Of. typhoid fever have already
developed in this county. The Board
of Health earnestly recommends lhaU
all water for drinking purposes be
boiled. No surface, well or flowing
stream water in this country Is sale
for drinking purposes, unDolled. II
the days water supply is boiled the
evening before, it will be wholesome
and fresh.
Typhoid fever is a ~preventaole dis-
ease, and any community developing
it is discredited, besides placing un-
necessarily, lives in jeopardy, ana IN
curing expense. "A quantity OF w
phoid vaccine for preventative pur-
poses, has been ordered This Will be
available for the use OF those who
desire the protection. The use in the
army of this vaccine in several million
cases, over a period of years, has DEM
onstrated to the satisfaction OF experts
the efficiency OF this agent in the pre-
vention Of the disease.
Boil all water for drinking purposes.
Carry on incessant warfare against
flies. Allow no accumulation or
garbage, and do not allow your neigh
Dor to do so. The Board OF Health
will cooperate in every possible way.
Remember that proper measures
adopted at this time will be sure to
save the lives of n or more babies
between now and fall.

When Does the Day Recin?

When does a day begin? Different
ations have had their own methods Of
punctuating time. Our calendar fol-
lows the Romans in beginning he day
at midnight; for all practical purposes
We reckon it from sunrise to sunrise
The Athenians and the Hebrews, how.
ever, began their new day at sunset.
In the story Of Creation we are told,
And the evening and the morning
we're the first day" This Hebrew
habit Of beginning the day at sunset
has survived even to our own time in
regard to the day Of rest. The whole
significance Of Burns "Cotters Satur-
day Night" is lost if we forget that to
fhe Scotch Presbyterian Saturday
night was part of the Sabbath. The
weeks cares were thrown aside when
the peasant saw, in the evening shad-
ows. the beginning Of the Lords day
