PRECAUTIONS IN
 SUMMER TIME

With the summer season in full swing. the necessity for observance of some reasonable precautions has been emphasized in a statement issued by pr. c. c. Carter, Com missioner of Health for the Terri tory.
 Individuals are counseled to ex- ercise care in regard to: the use of drinking water, care of foods, sewage disposal, heat exhaustion and sunburn, insect bites, poisonous weeds and foods, eating habits, swimming and over exercise. Attention is called to the fact that no fresh shell fish found along t he beaches should be eaten through the months of June, July and August
 Keep Food Cool Foodstuffs should be kept at cool 1 temperatures. Milk and milk pro- ducts and foods made chiefly of milk, and eggs in particular, should be kept at cold temperature to prevent the growth of disease bearing germs.
 Special care should be taken" Dr. Carter said, ''in the use of drinking water from streams and ponds. The old belief that running water purifies itself has been proven a fallacy. Streams that appear to be pure have been known to be the cause of death from typhoid fever. Water can be con- taminated by human carriers and can also be contaminated by wild animals which carry some germs of the same type as found in the human body, and which can be 1 the cause of extreme physical dis comfort"
 Garbage containers should be kept tightly covered and the con- tents disposed of regularly in a satisfactory manner, thus discour- aging the presence of rats and flies. Skin Irritations Insect bites should have prompt attention and the application of simple medications immediately is usually sufficient to insure against infection.
 Skin irritations from wild weeds and shrubs should be attended promptly, according to the Com missioner. The three most com mon irritants are the nettle, devil club, and wild celery. The nettle is harmless but causes a painful Iied irritation wherever it touches the skin, usually of temporary duration. The devil club thorn, unless removed immediately may produce a painful infection Not all persons are affected by the wild celery plant, but those who are allergic to it suffer from a painful blister of the skin.
 The rays of the sun should be taken in gradually, increasing doses to achieve the most beneficial and enjoyable results. Too much ex- posture of the body for too long @ period may cause painful and dan gerous sunburn and heat ex- haustion. .l

After the police left, according to
Harvey. the crowd gathered again
and began to threaten. He and his
wife drove to the Ferndale police
station around midnight and asked
for protection. Telling the chief OF
police that he had purchased the
home and wanted 10 live there
eeaceably, he urged them TO give
ample protection.
The next day, Sunday, Harvey

asked him 10 do them a favor by
moving 10 prevent a race riot. They
left and returned in two hours
stating that after talking o the
residents, they were of the opinion
that the citizens were irate and
would not abide by the law.
Due 10 curtailments in the police
department, the chief Of police felt
that it was impossible 10 guarantee
protection. and advised Harvey for
the sake Of his wife and family to
