Disease Preyention Display Postponed Until Tuesday.

Although today and tomorrow are generally being observed as disease prevention day, it was decided advisable to establish next Tuesday, Oct. sth, as the day for the observance in Rensselaer.

Merchants are asked to co-operate by making displays in their windows suggestive of disease prevention. Grocers and meat markets are asked to exhibit Jhe means employed as a protection to the articles sold and drugstores can display such articles as tfffy recommend in accomplishing the greatest good to the public health. There is much opportunity for originality in this direction and although the time is short it is urged that every person catch the spirit of the occasion and help igi this state-wide movement for which Governor Raltson issued a proclamation. Dr. Gwin, city health officer, will ask that a committee from the Ladies Literary Society act as judges and report on the stores with the best displays and possibly next .year cash prizes may be arranged for. The fall fly is especially active and pernicious and Should'be swatted with vigor, while the valuable lessons to be taught by a disease prevention day are largely along the line of cleanliness and hygiene. Remember the day, Tuesday, Oct. sth, and do your part to make it have a lasting benefit for disease prevention.
