A Sensible Suggestion.

Every town should have a relief society with two-foid objects, says the Elkhart Review. One for the relief of the deserving poor and another to look after the families afflicted with diseases like diphtheria and scarlet fever. When these and like diseases attack a member of a family the members are isolated, and if. assistance is scarce, which is likely to b e the case, and difficult to secure, it causes untold hardships upon the family and sick ones.
