DR.. Ferrell Advises
Precaution Measures


With Lovelock closing down pub
lie schools and public entertainment
places owing to several we'll devel-
oped cases of scarlet fever, and Reno
reporting a number of such cases,
DR.. Ferrell. county physician, has
during the past few days been taking
prs cautions against any outbreak OF
this dread disease among the school
children of this city. and section.
During the week he has held meet
ings at the several schools in this
city explaining the disease and in
structing all as to first precautions
AS he states it is in order to prevent
any chance for an outbreak that he
is advising the public on this score
In speaking of the precautions he
states:
Every case where there is a sore
throat and fever. even slight, the
child should be kept at home, as this
is the symptom of scarlet fever. The
rash does not appear until after
twenty-fonr hours or later While
1t may be but a sore throat or some
minor indisposition, yet by keeping
the child at home during the period
the simplest and best preeaution is
taken This applies to everyone.
Take no chances. as scarlet fever is
regarded as one, if not the worst,
disease that comes to children, not
the fever alone but the after effects
"The parents, the public, school
trustees, In fact all are asked to lend
assistance in this matter. Fallon can
be kept clean of an epidemic If such
precautions are taken. All civic
clubs. federations and people in gen
eral can and should assist in pre-
cautionary4 measure that will be OF
material benefit.
"The idea Is not to shut down
! schools and public gatherings after
1t is too late. Remember that with
this disease within striking distance
of this city and valley that it is nee
essary to take the first precaution
and that is treat every cold and
slight fever seriously. If there is amy
doubt call in your physician, but un-
der all circumstances Keep the child
or children home until the disease OF
cold is checked or cured. Don't take
chances of spreading a disease that
once started is beyond control and
which will call for drastic regula
tions.
This is not done as a scare, bu
as a precautionary measure for tbs
general health of this community.
am asking that all of the people, pro
/ fessional and on-professional rep
resentatives of lodges and civic asso
Citations together with the commun
ity take the first precaution as sug
gested. II may he that there will b
no appearance of this disease, bu
one case without the protection sug
gested would cause guarantees ant
possible closing of all public places
The project can protect itself in thi
matter and / am urging such actor
before the schools and other places.
DR.. Ferrell is undoubtedly right
1t is case of lock the door befOr
the damage is done, and what he i
asking is Just common sense and cas-
lily followed. 1t is hoped that he vii
find support from the community

 "Of course it is," the Wizard cried, "what do you spect have a magical wooden horse for if he can't help me chase you and tell me where you are hidden? Just tell me that, please"
 Anyway, it isn't fair" Raggedy Ann said, Did you hear us yell ready"
 How can you ask such silly ques- tions ?'the Wizard howled, T came to capture you, not to play games with you" .,
 Then if you are not playing T Spie'' we will not play with you," Raggedy Ann said. ''So you can just turn around and run back home." And, be- fore the Wizard could think of re- ply to make, his wooden horse turned around and carried the Wizard right back home.
 "Ha, ha, ha," the Willywiggle laughed, Didn't Raggedy Ann fool the old silly that time?" And as there was Jolly pop path right in back of the bushes where they had all been hiding, the Raggedys, Walter, the Willywiggle

 "Oh, thank you," the Willywiggle said as he brushed the tears from his eyes, maybe I can help you some day, too."
 Anyway" the hobby horse said, "the Wizard is coming, am sure hear something humping upon the ground and it must be him on horse."
 "Let us all hide in these thick bushes," Raggedy Ann said, then per haps the Wizard will not see us and will run right past" So the friends all hid in the bushes and pretty soon, here came the Wizard riding upon a wooden horse. The wooden horse looked some thing like Raggedy Ann's magical horse, only Raggedy Ann's wooden horse was much prettier.
 'They are right here somewhere" !" the Wizards horse said as he came to stop.
 What did you want to tell for?" Raggedy Ann asked as she came out

.rnericanW And fashions
 Of Paris
By JULIA HOYT

A MEXICAN women are known all IA over the world for independence
 and courage of thought and action and yet, for some strange reason, when it comes to dress we are the least in dependent and courageous people in the world. Most of use are ready to take any saleswoman's opinion rather than our own. We zealously read what we are told is being worn abroad, believe 1t implicitly, and believe that because it is being worn abroad we. should also be wearing it. What we do not realize is that though perhaps some of the things we are shown are being worn Tn Europe, there are many other things being worn. Also, the fact that the dress supposedly has the stamp of Paris Sdoes not of necessity mean that it is either becoming to the individual or pretty.
 W Why can't we throw off this yoke and develop courage, the courage of our own opinions in dress, as we have in other things? It is extraordinary to me to see intelligent women independent in every other way go into shop and listen with awed respect to the opinions of some Misconceptions such as this for instance:
 ssYou must take this dress or this hat ; it is absolutely the latest thing from Paris"
 We are asleep in dress. Last spring the streets of our largest cities might |have been peopled by women in uni
 prrls. Tall, short, fat, thin, young and p6ld on all and every occasion, lrrespec- tive of appropriateness, emerged from \ thefr homes in tailored suits, scarves ] tied around their necks and little felt cloche hats. It became almost ridicu- fous. I arrived in Paris leaving this craze at its height in New York and saw a few of these tailored suits on Americans and on no-one else. And they were almost always Americans who had just landed and had not yet had time to buy something else.
 Those who have shopped intelligently abroad have learned that the truly we'll flressed woman thinks before everything ( of her individuality. The saleswoman in Paris will change and adapt things for her and there is no such thing as huying something merely because it is supposedly smart. The smart French woman immediately stops wearing a certain type of hat or dress the moment it shows a tendency of becoming uni s.versally popular. For instance, this {, year in Paris the head designer who l A am lucky enough to have to design my hats, refused to make my hats cut ab- soluteiy short at the back Ca fashion which has been developed for short hair), because it has become so common place, so universal, that should on longer wear them. A saleswoman here, | am afraid would have said: "Oh you must wear this short cut hat be- cause everyone is wearing it"
 %s repeat: let us emancipate ourselves I from the tyrany of the mode. Let us have the courage, if we dislike some thing or like something else, to buy it or not buy it whether it is latest thing in from. Paris or not-whether it is what everyone is wearing or not.

CANDLE BENDS

Never throw away candle ends. These may be made useful in various ways. For instance, they make good polishing cream. Melt all the ends you have saved and mix with sufficient turpen- tine to make a soft cream. You will find this mixture excellent for polish ing linoleum and stained floors.
 One woman buys cheap candles and cuts them in small pieces to start the fire. This is a god use for candle ends. Cut them into bits and scatter them among the kindling when starting the fire. They will ignite readily and are a good substitute for the kerosene which so many housekeepers use at a great risk to safety.
 A multiple reflector fixture for in- descent lamps increases the light they shed downward when used for illumi- mating suburban roads.

 I never allow my youngest children to say or do thing would not allow in the older children, even though they do seem cute, because know it means future trouble. A bit of inn pudence in a tiny tot may seem amusing when the same thing said by an older one would be shocking.
