Con n ell has bad a large Humbert of post era printed and dis tributed, giving Instructions as to the Tndling of cases of scarlet fever and fiphtherta. Following is the notice: The health office isauea the following cimilsr of recommendations, with ilis hope that thoM not familiar with ths rare of scarlet fever and diphtheria may he benefited thereby: "ft-arlet fever and diphtheria are like smallpox In their power to spread rap Idly from person to person: they are hlgiilr conUsloua. Diphtheria la not only contagious, but Is also Infectious, Kaon disease shows Its first symptoms In about i nne week after exposure, as a seneral rule; and persons who escape the tllnons j during- a fortnight alter exposure ni-'i i-omparatively aafe from attack, but It may develop even three weeka after ex posure. "Scarlet fever, scsrtetlns. canker rash rnd acsrlet rash are names of one ami the same dangerous dlesae, A mild case may develop Into a malignant one. I "When a rase of srsrlet fever or dip!- ' tlierla si-curs In any family, the sl:rf' person should be placed In a room aps't from the other Inmates of the houee, and should be nursed, ss far aa possible, hv on person only. And In no esse shsil the attending phrxl. Inn or others direr! the removal of the uninfected children from M house to another for the pur port of continuing In school. "The sick chsmber should 1e welt j wsrmed, ero"d to the sunlight snd well' sired, though avoiding direct drafts, for , four weeks; Its furniture ahould be surti , as will permit of cleansing without hi- i Jury, and all extra article, such aa win- ' low drapery, woolcni carpets snd the J like should Ik removed from the rotun i during the sickness. The family should not mingle with other people. All visitors ! to the Infected home especially children, mist not be admitted. Pets Carry oaagloa. "No' pet dog or cat or valuable play, thing ahould be allowed the patient, as thus frequently hss dlneaae been carried to others. If either dog or est la found In the bonne they muat be excluded snd I thoroughly (Uninfected with formaline or lent roved. 'The sick person should not mingle w ith others ' until four weeks at lesst I from the first beginning of the attack. During this time the skin naturally al ways wearing away, contains the germ of the rtlsease, and for this reason cos lnoline or soma oily iiinu-rlol should be1 kept on the surface conatantly and a s'lghtly carbonised (1 per cent) sponge bnth used dally. All clothing and bedding worn or used by the patient or the nurse should be cleansed by boiling for at least an hour; or, If that cannot ba done, by - free and prolonged exposure to outdoor air and sunlight. On recovery the walls of the room should ba dry rubbed and the cloths used for the purpose should ba burned without previous shaking. Tha wll ng should be scraped and whitened. The floor should be washed with, soap snd hot waterr and carbollo acid may ba add d to tha water tons pint to three or four gallons). The Infected clothing should be cleansed by itaelf and not sent to a laundry, using one pint of salt and one pound of whits vitriol to tub of cold water. . "fn rase of death from scarlet fever or diphtheria the funeral services must be strictly private and tha corpse cannot be exposed to view, and ahould he burled within etx to twenty-four hours after death. - "As children are especially liable to take and spread scarlet fever and diph theria and because schools afford a frea opportunity for this the health depart ment of Omaha excludes from school every child from any family In which a cane of cither dlsensa occurs. The absence to continue In those afflicted with scarlet few. four weeks from date of recovery and thorough disinfection o house; In d'phtherla, three weeks from recovery and thorough disinfection of house. Chil dren not affected, but having been pr-ed are excluded from school for two k from dale of recovery and thor oush fumigation of house. - VeiKhhc-i' ch'Mren or those who have li' pwoxJ and not living In house with the dinesse, ere exefuded two weeks from school from time of Isst exposure. "!ioue must 'be. disinfected 'by Bus id of lI.'Hh. which will ds done on receipt of not W from slfnrling physician thst esse h.n recovered." Colfl Wave Assures ; Larse Ice Harvest Th cold wave, that swept In Wsdnea day nUht, according to the local Ice lskeis. assures one of the big sent and cio fw harveaieri. The only thing tliat wouM prevent the garner ing of a bumper riou would be the ap pro.vh of a I'liinouk wind, and this a not uokd for. Everywhere In thl vicinity the l hatvrst went on, with all the f eme, cor porations and Individuals working up to capacity In both cutting" and packing. It Is estimated that there are not less than 8.'- men working on the Ice within a radius of twenty-five miles of Omaha. . At rlornos tha Ice from both reser . volra Is being cut. loaded onto cars and brought to Omaha, where It Is packed awsy In the horses. At most of the other places where ice Is being cut it ts being parked in the houses that are along jibe liors of the Iskes. Chief Salter to Select Apparatus The city council expressed eonfidenre In tne ability of Chief 8alter of tha fire de partment to determine which of various types of motor-driven fire apparatus huuld be wlected from bids reri.cd twu wt.sk sgo.

The date haa Just been de cided upon by the local committee, of which Joe Kelley Is chairman. Details of the program hsva not yet been worked out. Tha first merchsnts' msrket week wss held two years ago. Since then these events have been held twice a year, one In the spring snd one in the fall. The success of these events In bringing the merchants of Oinahaa trade territory all to the msrket town st one time for their stock of goods In such a way that the wholesalers may ahow their goods to Ihe best advantage to the greatest number of retailers at one time, has msde It sdvlsahle to keep up the celebra tion of such a period In the spring and fall.

COLDER WEATHER ON THE WAY The Bhort-llved bllxiard of Wednes day afternoon and night hit Iowa. Illinois and Missouri much harder than It did Nebraska, and while the snowfall was not heavy, the sleet and terrific wind that went along with tbe storm played havoc with the tele graph service. So far aa Nebraska waa concerned, the atorm abated during the night, but it remained cold, there being hardly a point in the state where the temperature did not go to sero, or below. Generally the snowfall was light, ranging from one to four Inches np and down the Missouri val ley and growing much lighter until the western part of the state was reached, where there were only scat tered flurries. In Omaha and up and down the river during the night and before the cold wave struck, a sort of a light rain accom panied the snowfall. East of here, start ing st a distance of about seventy-five miles away and continuing all the wsy scross Iowa, Into Illinois snd down Into' Missouri, there Wss a light fall of rain. Instead of snow. When the cold wave struck the rain belt, the rain quickly turned to Ice, freexing on the telegraph wlrea until they were coated a half Inch or more. With the strong wind thnt was blowing the heavy load of ice snapped the wlrea as quickly ss If they had been straws and they went down In heaps all slong the Omaha-Chicago roads. Makes Tnln !.. Trains coming Into the city Thursday morning were considerably late, due to tha fact that ths rails, covered with Ice. prevented speed msking snd to the fur ther fsct that on account of telegraph wtrnf tha runs were made tn aocordance with timetable schedules. Instead of on orders. Linemen were sent out from Omaha snd Council bluffs snd In Omaha terri tory most of the lines were gotten in working order during the dev. It 1 asserted that In the Mississippi valley, where the fall of rain wsa heav iest, more damage wss done and that there the telegraph service was greatly Impaired. The cold weather and snow delayed a mmiher of the mail trains Into Omaha. The Chicago mall train on the Burling ton got In two hours late. A mall train from Kansas City on the Burlington was four hours Iste. A Union Pacific train from the west due here at 7.30 a. m. did not arrive until after noon. SPACE IS ALL TAKEN FOR CEMENT SHOW IN FEBRUARY The greatest cement show ever held In the west Is promised for Omaha, be ginning February 29. Secretary-Treasurer Frank Whlpper man of the Mid-West Cement Users- as soclstion, which holds the show and Its annual convention together at the mu nicipal Auditorium, says that arrange ments are already perfected, although the big double event Is still over a month ahead. Practically all show space hss been taken, many exhibitors taking larger sections than ever before. "The cement show this year will be on a more elaborate ecsle than in previous years." Secretary Whlppernian says. "Everybody seems to be more in tensely Interested In concrete now then ever before. Judging from the reports coming In from sll sections of the mid west, and a ery larsc rrowd Is antici pated. "The growth of the Tot Hand cement Industry In the United States has been one of Ihe wonders of modern Industry. In 1S50 there wore produced In the United States ft'.flnn barrels of Portland cement. In P13 the production was more than dorm.onn barrels, valued at an equal num ber of dollars, the world's record of production. It Is no wonder that people are Interested. Some one must be using it."
