HEALTH COMMISSIONER CALLS
ATTENTION TO CONDITIONS

DR.. C. E. Northrup, County Health
Commissioner, wishes to call atten-
tion of all families that have been
in the flooded area, to the danger
coming from moving back into cold,
damp, homes. Pneumonia, influenza,
colds, rheumatism, and other allied
conditions may result from such ex-
Dosure.
The question of whether our sup
ply of water has been contaminated
by the flood would be impossible to
answer. Our supply comes from
sealed drilled wells, and it would
seem almost impossible for any sur
face water from the flood to get into
the lines.
Specimens of both McConnels-
vile and Malta's water supply will
be sent to the state laboratory as
soon as we can get to the stations.
II you wish to be absolutely sure
you had better boil all your drink
ing water.

be under the supervision of special
committee, which is to be selected
within the next few days.
