LOOK TO WATER
AND MILK, WARNS I
HFALTH OFFICER
County Health Officer SAYS Use Only
Boiled Water and Pasteurized
MIX.

Dr. V. d. Guittard, Director OF the
Mason County Health Department. is
sues this statement
In view of the recent severe epi.
demic OF typhoid fever at Lexington
and the present one at Owensboro. at
tention Is called to the absolute neces-
sity Of drinking only boiled water and
using only pastuerized milk.
MIX is pasteurized by heating to
l45 degrees Faernheit and holding II
at that temperature for thirty minutes
and then cooling for use. This pro-
cess kills all the harmful germs and
make the use of the milk entirely safe.
Disease germs find an ideal growing
place in milk and 1t is only by absolute
cleanliness Of all milk containers and
pasteurization that we may escape
milk borne typhoid fever and other in
testinal troubles.
The Lexiro oton epidemic was traced
directly TO contaminated milk. Twen-
ty-one cases in Jun, we're caused by
impure milk from one dairy.
Towns which do not pasty irize their
milk are liable to have at ans time
severe epidemics.
The path of infection is from the
discharged of infected people to the
mouths of well people. This path will
be permanently obstructed by the
measures outlined above.

took into custody two young men CIV
ing their names as George Wright, 15,
Of this city, and James Moore, Of

check working. The young men were
captured by the police shortly after

George vogel at the corner Of East
Second and Union streets, signed by j.

II has been only about a week since
Mr.. vogel's ther-in-law, Mr.. John

store near, had been caught by bad
check offered him by young man and
becoming suspicious, Mr.. Vogel re-
fused to cash the check and notified
the police. He kept watch on the
young men until the police arrived.
It was also learned that the young
men had earlier in the morning en-
deavorer to get the check cashed at

twelve dollars in cash, a sack of flour
and a, nice cream cone in his transac-

Is professional check man while he
was using young Wright as tool in
his deals.

the local jail and will probably be
given a hearing before Police Judge

RAIL MEETINGS
transportation Executives and
Brotherhoods Likely to Get
Together In Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.-Meetings that
may eventually develop into
peace conference" for the settlement
Of disputes that have brought the
railroads of the country to the verge
of a general strike will be held in
Chicago, October II, 1t was an.
nounced today.
One hundred and fifty executives,
representing the leading railroads Of
the United States, will meet here on
that date. 1t us regarded as certain
that the purpose of the meeting will
be to discuss the attitude of the
roads toward the threatened strike.
Coincidentally, 600 general chair.
men Of the railroad unions will con-
vene here to discuss strike plans. The
count of the strike vote will have
been completed by next Monday, 1t
was believed today. There seemed
little doubt today that the union
officials will be empowered to call q
strike.
Observers Of the situation today de.
clared that the union leaders will
use the strike vote as q weapon with
which to obtain wage concessions and
to bring pressure to bear upon roads
that have given evidence Of hostile
attitude toward the unions.
The railway executives are ex-
pected to make an effort to evolve a
plan that will forestall any such gen
cral tie up of transportation facilities
as would result from q nation. wide
strike.
Although the meetings are entirely
separate, their coincidence as to date
has given rise to the belief that
negotiations will be opened.
