Dr. R. V. 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

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.

RAIN AND WIND
BREAK DOWN WIRES
Flayi Havoo with Telephone Com
panies to East and South of
Thii City.
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."

HOW SHE ENDED
TEN YEARS OF
SKin-TORTURE
If you have an Itching, burning, un
sightly sktn-trouble, you can Imagine ths
feelings of Mrs. C. C. Roberta, when
she wrote: "I had ees-ma on my face
for ten ears, Uttle red pimples formed
In a small spot on my chin and than
spread all over my face. They Itched
and burned me awfully, it waa certainly
embarassing to me, and 1 would 'not go
amongst people. I tried almost every
remedy and treatment that could lie
used for thla trouble, but nothing did
ni-i any good. I usad Kealnol ointment
and Reslnol Soap, and waa relieved In a
day or two. In one month I was cured.
This was six months ago and the trouble
has nev-r returned," Weatherford, Okl.,
