HEALTH OFFICIALS
PROTECTING CITY
Taking Precautions to Prevent Spread
of Diphtheria and Other Con-
tauious Diseases.

L taStOuS OtSSdSSSs
DR.. William d. Mobiles, city health
officer, and DR.. F. A. Brink, district
health officer state board OF health,
are untiring in their efforts to prevent
the spread Of diphtheria and other con-
tagious diseases in the city, and are,
for the most part, receiving the hearty
cooperation Of the citizens, but there
seems to be a great lack of informa-
tion about precautions that are neces-
sary. and required by the health au-
thorities. in a family where there Is
case of diphtheria or a diphtheria
carrier.
Only the breadwinner is permitted
to go and come about his business, and
his going is permitted only If he agrees
to and does remain away from the sick
patient and the sick room. If he Is a
food handler he Is not allowed to go
on with that line Of work, and he IS
not to mingle more freely with other
people than absolutely necessary in do
ing his work.
Visitors are positively excluded from
the quarantined home.
Food containers, particularly milk
bottles, must not be carried from the
premises. They may be allowed to
accumulate until quarantine is raised
and then returned after boiling, or
milk may be poured into the container
which remains at the home.
Health officers are receiving good
cooperation for the most part in the
effor to stamp out the infection. physi-
clans, teachers and all others are Civ
ing hearty support to the work. Of
course, there are, as usual. few who
do not appreciate any effort at protec-
ton of the public health. objections
are raised only by those who are in
.convenienced by quarantine regula-
tions.
The Importance OF having every child
provided with an individual drinking
cup should be emphasized, and viii be
better appreciated when it is known
that among school children there are
usually from 1 to per cent who are
diphtheria carriers. If your child
drinks after such a carrier, puts his
mouth against a drinking faucet after
him. sticks a pencil or any other article
in his mouth after him takes bite OF
his apple or chews his gum, then your
child can get disease germs from the
carriers mouth to his own, and he may
develop a severe illness.
Coughing and sneezing in another
persons face should be avoided. and
the hands should be well washed before
eating lunches or meals. such precau-
tons. while not guaranteed to prevent
the spread Of disease entirely. will go
far toward protecting our children.

Helen Johnston.

Helen, second daughter OF Chas.
A. and Zilpha Johnston, was born IN
the town of Willow Springs, Wis,
November 10, 1894. She attended
the country schools and graduated

was unavailing, and Helen passed

26 years, 4 months and 16 days
seemed all too short to accomplish
a great or very useful career. But
those who knew her intimately and
visited her, especially during her last
months, can bear testimony to the
wonderful patience and faith and
hope of this young woman. She
bore her awful sufferings with mar
velous fortitude. Her faith in the
worlds Redeemer was unbounded
and her Christian hope was always
clear, confident and undismayed.
Her deathbed was a place of glorious
triumph Her life was eminently
fruitful and she 'being dead yet
speaketh."
She is survived by her parents, one
sister, Mrs. Roy Parkinson, of Mil
waukee, and two brothers, Charles
and Paul, besides many other rela-
tiVes and host of friends.
The funeral services were held at
the family residence in Willow
Springs, Wednesday morning, the
Rev. j. A Vincent officiating Many
relatives and neighbors were present
to pay their last tribute of respect.
Interment was made in the Union
Grove cemetery in Darlington.

SPRING CLEANUP.
There Must Be No Civic
Slackers.

Clean up or burn up, remove filth
Do not bet your home or store
against a few dollars worth of
waste paper or trash. There is
always the possibility of fire in in
combustible rubbish, it always helps
to spread fire, increases the fire loss,
and makes fire fighting more difficult
and more dangerous.
Gather up and remove all waste
paper, oily waste and rags, discarded
clothing, broken, useless furniture,
leaves, boxes and other trash. They
are in your basement, in the attic, in
closets, in the back yard, in and
around your out-buildings, in fence
corners, and sidewalk gratings, in
wood boxes and other hooks, corners
and hiding places.
Be careful with rubbish fires and
watch small children so that their
dresses may not catch fire. Make
sure rubbish fires do not endanger
buildings. Leave no burning embers
at night; a wind may come up to
carry them to your buildings.
A clean home, store, shop and
town should be your ambition and
pride; they are marks Of good citi-
Zenship.
The defective mOss-covered shingle
roof, openings in walls, cracked
chimneys, loose brick, rusted smoke
pipes, defective electric wiring,
should have your attention.
Cleanliness is inexpensive, and a
little effort on the part of every citi-
zen will work wonders.
Acting under authority of Section
927-p, city councils and village
boards often provide for the removal
of ashes and rubbish at public eX-
pense. City wagons will be sent out
THURSDAY, MAY 9TH and citizens
are requested to clean up and place
ashes and rubbish in piles along the
street or alley.
When "Clean-Up-Week" is past,
let every day be clean-up-day, and
keep your home, shop, and city clean,
| safe and sanitary.
] Spring is the painting season, burn
up the waste and rags, used around
painting and vanishing jobs and
machinery; they are liable to ignite
spontaneously at any time.

ROBERT M. CRAWFORD. EDITOR
FOR THE GOOD OF MINERAL
POINT.

With the opening of the spring
season, concerted efforts should be
made to advance the interests of our
city. Field Days and Fairs are good
so far as they go, in drawing people
hither and convincing them that the
old town is still on the map. But or
ganization, and work all the year
round, are necessary to make the city
prosper as it should prosper. Cities
and rural communities alike are pas
sing through period Of business de-
preston. Labor lacks employment
and products of the farm have been
greatly reduced in price. While re
turn to normal conditions Will neces
sarily be slow there is no reason why
dwellers in city or country should be
discouraged The fact that times are
~
making them better by performing
the duties at hand, and rightly meet
ing the opportunities that come to us
for advancement. And first ana
foremost, we must not be unmindful
of the greatest lesson taught by the
world war, which was won by a
mighty union of the allied forces.
Locally, we need the spirit of
unity that carried the great conflict
on to victory. We need to unite to
do things for the community that are
worth while When in the past
there has been unity of action in the
interests of the city, undertakings
have always been successfully car
ried out. It will be so in the future.
Whatever public improvements are
necessary should be carried forward
that employment may be given to
labor. The finances Of the city are
in good condition. Last year at this
time the city had bonded indebted
ness of S22,75O.0O, with $25,876.O3
cash in the treasury. The treasur-
ers report. printed elsewhere in this
paper, shows that the city's bonded
Indebtedness now is $18,.O0O.OO with
S42,435.16 in the treasury. There
should be no extravaganza in the use
of public funds, but work that is
for the good of the city should be be-
gun and carried to completion as
soon as possible. G. Z.
