Progress of the Epidemic
At the time this paper goes to
press there are sixty cases of scar
let fever in our city Three cases
have been released from quarantine
and more will follow soon Although
there have been numerous cases of
considerable severity no deaths have
been reported as yet a fact which is
very gratifying
An examination of the water was
made by University chemists and in
Iiis opinion the scarlet fever is not
dependent on our water supply The
stand pipe was drained and cleansed
as an additional safeguard and found
to be in excellent condition Our
water supply is good as far as purity
goes but the continued dry weather
is making it very hard to keep the
supply equal to the demand and our
people should use the greatest econ
omy in their household and lawn
priviliges
The cleanliness of the slop pail
and alley will be carefully watched
and it is necessary to use the utmost
precaution to prevent the gathering
of any amount of vegetable or ani
mal refuse on the premises drawing
as it does large numbers of flies
which carry filth and diseases dir
ectly to our tables thus spreading
disease All receptacles for garbage
should be screened over and either
burned treated with a strong anti
septic carbolic chloride of lime or
copperas and contents removed at
the end of each twenty four hour
period
Just a word regarding flies They
kill a greater number of human beings
than all the beasts of prey and poi
sonous serpents they spread dis
ease which kills thousands of people
and should be carefully excluded from
your homes They carry disease
germs on their legs and bodies and
have a large share in the spread of
the present epidemic Use screens
on your houses kill all flies which
are inside the dwelling by using fly
paper1 a little carbolic acid dropped

slaughter of these pests Flies breed
In filth and die in cleanliness so
keep your dwellings clean and your
garbarge pails and manure piles cov
ered and carted away as fast as they
accumulate
We are just about keeping even
with the epidemic since enforcing
the more strict measures which
have lately instituted but more care
is necessary in order to stamp out
the disease and the board will use
greater severity and strictness in all
its dealings with the people no one
can tell when this dreaded disease
will assume a malignant type and
cause the death of large numbers of
adults as well as children One at
tack does not protect from another
two and even three attacks being
recorded
It is with regret that we record
the two more arrests for violation of
quarantine regulations why any
right minded person should want to
spread disease is incomprehensible
Last week two cases were discover
ed in which efforts at concealment
had been used resulting in a vigor
ous fine for the offenders If you
know of a case not reported tell the
authorities do not lend yourself to
the crime by keeping still
Dogs must be kept tied up or they
will be killed and a man is now out
every day catching dogs which are
allowed to wander at large
Children must be kept in their own
yards and not allowed to play on the
street or next door and under no
circumstances sent on errands which
could be easily arranged over the
telephone
A strict observation of the above
will free us from scarlet fever and
all negligence will only serve to in
crease and perpetuate our present
trouble Will YOU help or retard

Stopped Press Long Enough
The Tribune just stops the press
long enough to state that there is
not a larger and more evident de
mand for a hospital in the state of
Nebraska that at a little wide-a-wake
city named McCook And we venture
the opinion that if the Burlington j
railroad management will do its part
we might say its duty in this matter
that such a much needed institution
will become a reality in this city
within another year Undustrially and
geographically this city will always
need a hospital The sooner we real
ize the need and secure it the bet
ter it will be with our health and
