The managers of the railroads, as trustees for the public, have no right to place this burden on the cost of transportation to you without a clear mandate from a public tri bunal speaking for you. The railroads have proposed the settle ment of this controversy either under the existing national arbitration law, or by refer ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. This offer has been refused by the employes' representatives. Shall a nation-wide strike or an investigation under the Gov ernment determine this issue? National Conference Committee of the Railways ELISHA LEE, Chairman. Dr. Henry Cook, City Heultli Phy sician, has issued a warning to the people of Ked .Cloud and vaclnlty, stating that all parents are requested not to allow children under the- ago of llvu to visit picture shows, parties and other public places of amusement until further notice. This Is being done to defend the people of Red Cloud and vaeiuity against the plague, Infantile Paralysis, which is sweeping over the whole I'nitcd States. Ho also states that he and the local physicians arc cooperating and doing all in their power to prevent tho infection c children in this locality. As yet, no ease of this disease has been reported here, but Dr. Cook ielievs that "an ounce of prevention Ih worth more than a pound of cure" He further states that the germ of this disease generally entois the system through the mucus membrane of the nose and mouth, and that one of the best ways to ward it oil' is to drench the nose and throat with a solution of one table spoonful of salt to oncuuit of warm water. This i a simple and inexpert s'tve and can lie applied by anybody. Orleans Tennis Tourney 4 Success 1NAVALE Dr. Asher, of Iliverton, was in Ina vale, Monday.
