Keep it in your memory—there will be
a meeting of the tax-payers and school
board ol Grant and Vernon fractional

Mk.VsLKs—There are. several cases of
lueaslc* in town, and apparently many
people do not understand what 'the law
requires of tliem in event of the disea.se
making its appearance in their family.
The (pie.stion is lreijuently asked, what
shall be done:' Dr. M. f)."l)avis, who is
health officer of this village, has just receiyed a letter from tlie secretary of the
state board of health, requesting that he
shall make stringent eilbrt to enforce the
provisions of the law in this matter in
this village. In Michigan about two hundred lives per year are lost by measles, it
is clearly a "disease dangerous to the public health" and, as such, the law requires
that prompt notice of it shall be given
by the householder, hotel-keeper, keeper
of a boarding house, etc. Not rcpoiting
is declared to bo a misdemeanor punishable by tine or imprison ment, or both, in
the discretion of the court. Act 137,
laws of 1883, requires the health oilicer
(unless otherwise ordered by tlie local
board of health) to order isolation of infected persons, give public notice of infected places, disinfect premises, etc,
under penalty of a tine, and imprisonment if the line is not paid. Bearing
upon thc duty of local boards of health,
which may be asked to make regulations
modifying the duties ofthe health oflicer
speeiliecl in Act 137, Laws of 1S83, the
State Board of Health voted (April 13,
1890) tliat, in its judgment,health oilicors
should placard premises where measles
exists, and.after death or recoyery.should
disinfect premises, as in outbreaks of
other ''diseases dangerous to the public
health."1 The legal requirements for reports to the local health officer should,
therefore, be enforced; and it is expected
that valuable information will result
from the reports by local health officers
to the State Board of Health. Thc evidence thus far collected tends to prove
that between the ages of ten and twenty
years the. danger from measles is much
less than in infancy, childhood, or adult
life, and it is quite possible that through
a continuance of the reports information
may be obtained which will permit of
improvement in laws and customs so that
the deatli'i-ate from measles may be
greatly lessened.

Luckily none of the flying fragments

The. Grand Traverse Herald contained
the following item, and it so fitted this
locality that wc publish it: "More attention than ever before is beinir given
to maple, beech, cherry, ash and other
northern Michigan hardwoods for furniture making an inside finish for residences. O.'ik, which has been used so
much, for furniture especially, during
the last few years, is becoming scarce,
and the price has rapidly advanced, and
furniture men are now' looking for a'
chen per material. There is nothing
handsomer than bird's-eye and curly
maple, and birch, beech and ash take a
very handsome finish. The forests of
northern Michigan are largely composed
of these woods, and thero will be an active demand, soon, for these and other
varieties of hardwoods grown here.
This being the case, this is the place to
manufacture, shipping the finished product instead of the logs or lumber to ■ be
worked up elsewhere. Here is whero it
can be done cheaper and more conveniently, saving freight on waste in manufacture. Manufacturers will do well to
correspond, or, better still, come here
and look up the matter personally."

inquiry might lead to a timely revelation.

Surveyor John White, of the Chippewa
"Valley Eailroad, came over from Big
Rapids Saturday to spend Sunday with
his wife and child. He called upon us
this morning and appeared very much
put out, over the article which we copied
from the Big Rapids Evening Bulletin a
few days ago, stating that himself and
crew had been "bounced" by Superintendent Garland. He says there is no
truth in the item whatever, tbat he has
not been out of the employ of the company a minute this spring, aud that the
item was a piece of spite work on the
part of the reporter of the paper above
referred to, with whom he has not been
on very friendly terms. As to railroad
matters, he says that work will first be
commenced on the extension north from
Big Rapids and completed to Manistee;
that the company will probably purchase
the Peters1 old logging road which can
be put into condition very rapidly. He
could not be induced to say very much as
to whether the road would go to Mt.
Pleasant or Alma. He seems to think
that the matter had not yet been settled,
bufc said that 'work would not be commenced on the southern division from
Big Rapids until late this summer. At
any rate, 3It. Pleasant will probably
haye to do some tall figuring to retain
her grasp on the Chippewa Valley railroad,

The real value of old newspapers about
a house is fully comprehended by but
few. 3Iany people in wrapping up
woolen goods to put away for tlie summer—a something that must soon be
done for the coming season—use clear
brown paper. Old newspapers are far
preferable, for the ink on them has been
observed to be yery obnoxious to moths,
insects, etc. A great benefit can also be
derived by placing a layer of old newspapers upon the carpet paper spread) under carpets, as it is a preventive to encroachments by vermin, which is so
often the case. Another useful attribute
of paper not generally known is for preserving ice in a pitcher of water. Fill
the pitcher with ice and water ancl place
in the center of a piece of paper; then
father the paper up together at thc top
and twist the ends tightly together, plac-
inf a strong rubber band around the coil
to "hold it close so as to exclude the air.
A pitcher of ice water treated in this
manner has been known to stand over
night with scarcely a perceptible melting of the ice.

afternoon to look after his business iu

The Daily Advertiser was not obliged
to giye up "the ghost at the. end of 30
days, as you will see. Although there
were a few who dropped their ad. at the
expiration of the time contracted, the paper still lives and is ou a good paying
basis, with a circulation of about 700
copies per day. Wc intend to keep it
running for a few weeks longer and will
give value received for all patronage bestowed.
Last Saturday afternoon a woodsman

About five hours later another southbound passenger train came along and
struck Dillon, who is supposed to have
been lying on the track asleep, killing
him almost instantly. The remains were
taken to Marion ancl his relaiives afc Big
Rapids notified. He was about 20 years
of age and unmarried.
0.11. O'Donald went to Farwell tbis
afternoon to look after his shingle business at that place, which is causing him
a little trouble afc present. When the
firm of Montgomery & Co., of Grand
Rapids, took possession of J. W. Gardiner & Co.'s shinglo mill and stock of general merchandise last week to satisfy a
claim of about $2,000, secured by mortgage, tliey replevined a car-load of shingles, worth about $325, thafc were on a
side track and belonged to 3Ir. O'Donald.
He thinks ho will have no trouble in recovering them in the long run, however.
