rose and jessamine. and from its
seeds, woods and barks. such as the

NOTICE TO PUBLIC

At meeting of the School Board
and Public Health Board, held We'd
nesday evening, Jan. 5, 1921, the fol-
lowing was enacted: "The schools
of the village of Clio will close Thurs
day forenoon, Jan. 6, 1921, and re-
main closed until Monday, Jan. II,
1921, or until further notice. All
public gatherings of all descriptions,
including churches, parties, etc., must
be suspended. This measure is
deemed advisable by the presence of
very rapidly increasing epidemic
of scarlet fever in the village, which
is at present very serious. All school
children must be kept at home dur
ing this period and not allowed to
play in groups on the streets, loiter
in public buildings, or otherwise ex-
pose themselves or others to possible
infection. This order is imperative
and will be rigidly enforced by the
marshal. Signed:

TO SCHOOL PATRONS

Acting upon the advice of the
health officer, authorities have con-
sidered it wisest and safest to close
the local schools for ten days. The
scarlet fever epidemic bids fair to be
a serious one unless preventive meas
ures are taken at once. 1t is hoped
that it viii be understood that the
schools are not closed in order to give
the children an opportunity to flock
out on the streets of the town.
Since the children are freed from the
close and dangerous confinement of
the schoolroom, parents ought to
assume the responsibility of keeping
them at home unless they have duties
to perform. If parents will observe
this request, the epidemic will soon
be checked and children will be back
in school.
