Ward of tills city, with Ilia family, is preparing to m ake t his place his home, having had a narrow escape from losing their lives in the fire which destroyed their home on a farm near Wapakoneta. Ohio, together with its entire contents. They were residing in a tenant house on the farm, and one night recently. had retired to their bed rooms on the .second floor, thinking that everything was in good condition. They were suddenly awakened during the night to And that the house was on Are. The fire had started in the lower part of the house and when they awoke, the house was nearly ready to fall in.

All bills or charges for professional services rendered at a birth shall be unlawful if report is not made as herein commanded. Rule: When no given or Christian name is given on the birth return then it shall be the duty of the physician ’ or householder to make u supplemental report to the health officer having jurisdiction when said child is named ] that the same may be entered on record. Physicians are not only requested but according to the State Health law are required to report all cases of typhoid fever immediately, and to stamp out an epidemic it is not only neces- • sary for the physicians to report the 1 cases but the public in general to as- ’ sist them. The public can do a great deal to ‘ stamp out an epidemic if they will 1 only watch the health of their own ' family and on the first signs of sick ness call a physician and accertaln the cause. It is my wish that all will have | a desire to aid In stamping out this trouble and give any assistance they j can. J. C. GRANDSTAFF. 4-11 County Health Com.
