PUBLIC HEALTH
OFFICER STARTS
WAR ON DISEASE

Compounding "A set of rules and
precautions to be followed by those
suffering from Guarantnablc dis
eases, and those exposed to them,
Dr. Warren F. Fox, county public
health officer, said today at the
same time he released his list, that
such diseases are very rare in Ell
Centre.
A card is to be printed with the
instructions on it, and a copy given
to each family or person suffering
from quarantinable disease. On
this card will be discussion Of the
mode of transmission of the disease,
measures to be taken to prevent its
spread, and what is to be done with
bedding and clothing, dishes and
utensils, laundry, milk bottles, gar
bage and animals.
Rules governing nurse or attend
ant, terminal disenfection, and
school permits to children are also
set down.
Through the aid of this card, DR.,
Fox hopes partially to educate the
people to diseases that may result in
quarantine, and so to keep the num-
Ter of these diseases below the past
average

THE WEATHER AGAIN

Only few weeks ago the nation COM
miserated with the Midwest, suffering
from serious drought which made it
necessary to give national relief to the
stricken area.
Intense heat prevailed for many weeks
and crops shriveled up in the burning at
mosphere.
Now the pendulum has swung the 9th
er way, and the Midwest, instead of
burning up, is having its first touch of
winter, which was severe enough to claim
five lives, with snow, hail, tornadoes and
a coudburst standing out as freaks of
the weather.
The Mississippi valley country never
seems to get much relief from the depre-
dations of nature. If it isn't heat, it is
cold, rain, floods, tornadoes or something
else. Life is Just one darn weather freak
after another.
We complain about our summer heat
here. Yet it only lasts for a short per-
iod comparatively speaking, and there
after we know the weather is going to be
good Against the Midwest and fmper-
ial Valley brands of weather there is no
comparison-we'll take the latter every
time.
Now Sir Thomas says he will challenge
again, "soon". Well, if he must have an
other trouncing we suppose We'll have to
give it to him.
Leaving us off the airmail is no indi-
cation that we are 'in the sticks. What
we can't have We'll get along without.

type Of frock that can be very smart and also
very dowdy and heavy-looking If IL Is not

houses are showing coat-frocks Of heavy crepe

women have found them to be admirably suited
TO the vagaries Of the Spring weather.

travelling coat and also OF a coat-frock. The
coat is Of fine tweed in a clever mixture of
brown, tan and light and dark green. As will
not voluminous. The belt is Of brown leather
with a clasp of brown wood and amber, and the
accompanying hat is of matching brown felt in
a shape very comfortable TO wear when en- route.
The coat-frock is of dark blue shantung.
Color is added in the form of a slip of the same
fabric in chartreuse. The slip is tucked and the
hemline is bound with the blue shantung.
