just before sunset. A body pushed
against Dave In the tower and Dave
saw the stranger boy at his side with
his bow and arrow. A few minutes
later he heard yell from the lad

saw the feathered tip Of an arrow

a bloody scalp dangling in his left

Flu Ban is Off.

The flu ban which was placed ovel
our public gathering places last week
as q precaution against the spread OF
the ailment, was lifted Monday and
all is progressing as usual. Colds and
mild attacks of the flu were prevalent
in the town and surrounding country
the past two weeks, and the malady
took severe turn in several cases, hui
all have largely recovered and no new
attacks have been reported the past
few days.
Other points in the county also re-
port general improvement and normal
health conditions are anticipated, es-
pecially since the people are careful
and have learned the value of preven-
tative measures.
The report comes from Grangeville
that the flu is running epidemic over
in that section and the schools have
been closed for the week, five of the
public school teachers being down with
the malady. No serious cases are re-
ported, however.

STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
ISSUES FLU RULES.

DR.. F.. W. Almond, medical advisor
of the state department of public well
fare, asks the press to assist him in
giving wide publicity to the following:
Recommendations concerning the
epidemic of the so-called 'sflu." {"
Reports indicate that the peak of
the disease has not been generally
reached, as yet, there being an increase
in the number of cases reported in the
last two days. The department of
Public Welfare has decided that the
following rules will be in force:
No person showing evidence of the
beginning of the disease such as by
colds, sneezing, coughing, watery eyes,
etc, to be allowed in any public gath
ering such as schools, churches, thea
tres, crowded stores, or other gather
ings of people.
Persons in charge of such public
gatherings will be requested to ask
such persons to leave the place.
School teachers are requested to send
any child home that shows any of the
above symptoms and to notify the
school nurse who will investigate the
case.
People are notified that there viii
be no further placarding of homes
from which the disease is reported.
Parents are urged to keep their
child at home and in bed if it shows
signs of becoming i'll. 1t is much bet
ter to take the disease in time and
break it up than to allow the child to
run loose until the disease is well de-
veloped, as this frequently results in
complications.
People are also urged to take better
care of their health in general; to see
that their homes are properly heated
and ventilated and otherwise to do
everything possible to avoid the low
ering of their vitality In the aver
age case the course of the disease
seems to run for a period of two and
a half to four days. Cases with high
temperature are urged to take longer
time in convalescing before assuming
their duties.
Physicians are requested to report
each day to the county health officer,
and also to the Department of Public
Welfare, the number of new cases.
1t is advisable to isolate the person
i'll at home from the rest of the fam
lily as much as possible and thus avoid
any unnecessary exposure. This is an
excellent time to commence the prac
tice of good health laws.

THE FOX BASKET BALL STARS GO
EAST WITH o. OF I. TEAM.

Richard and Allie Fox, the two ex-
Nezperce High School boys who have
played the Idaho University basket
ball team to victory this season, are
accompanying that organization on a
tour to the big national meet at In
dianapolis this week. A Moscow dis
patch says of the trip:
Cancelling the second game of its
series with Washington State College
scheduled for last Saturday night, the
University of Idaho basket ball team
left Moscow Saturday afternoon for
indianapolis to enter the national in
tercollegiate basket ball tournament
March 9, 10, IL.
Coach David Mcmillan was accom-
panied by nine men: Captain R. Fox,
forward; A. Fox, forward; Oswald
Thompson, center; Harold Telford,
guard; William Gartin, guard; Percy
Steiner, guard; A. D. Nelson, substi-
tute center; Harvey Edwards, guard;
Henry Canine, substitute forward
Idaho IS record in the Pacific coast
conference shows seven victories and
no defeats, and in the northwest con
ference, IL victories and one defeat
According to preliminary plans, the
squad will arrive in indianapolis on
March s, allowing them one day to re-
cover from the long journey and make
ready for the preliminary tournament
games.
The greatest handicap facing the
Idoaho squad is the long trip, which
may have disastrous effects on the
team g condition. Thompson, center,
and Edwards, guard, have just recover
ed from sickness, which kept them out
of several hard games, but both are
making the trip and will in all prob
ability play. Other members of the
squad are in excellent condition.
University students delivered mon
ster send-off for the squad when it
left Moscow this afternoon for the
turnament which has the United
States title as its goal.
On the trip going, the team will
reach Chicago March 8, and will go to
indianapolis that afternoon. They will
return to Chicago early Sunday morn
ing, will be there Sunday and Monday,
and then will start back by way of
Denver. They will be in Denver March
Is.
They will be in Pocatello Thursday
night, and in Boise from Friday until
Saturday forenoon. They will get back
to Moscow at 10 p. m. Sunday, the
nineteenth.

cULDEsAc BEATS MOSCOW FOR
STATE H. 8. MEET.

Lewiston, March 5.-Moscow high
school basketball team fought hard
through a fast game but fouled too Of
ten and lost to Culdesac, 25 to 81, at
the high school gymnasium last night.
Culdesac will represent this district at
the state tournament in Moscow next
week.
The two teams were evenly matched
in weight and speed, but Moscow, in
the first half, appeared to lack organ
ization. During the first period Guide
sac retained the ball three quarters of
the time. In the second half the
sphere passed evenly from one side to
the other.
Moscow proved much superior in
shooting, making the same number of
field baskets as Culdesac, out of half
as many attempts. From 81 tries for
hoops during the play, Culdesac scored
10. The game was won by Rhorman,
Culdesac center, converting IL out of
IL free throws.
Culdesac, on her toes at the begin
ming of the game, disrupted Moscow g
organization by taking the ball from
the first tip-off and keeping it for the
first five minutes of play. Moscow
fighting to regain possession, fouled
repeatedly.
Culdesac, time after time during the
first half, took the ball close under the
basket for two to five fries, but often
failed to score.
