Children from any of the families named are prohibited from entering school for thirty days from date of recovery, and the parents are prohibited from appearing in public for the same period. Tbis rule should be watched closely and strictly enforced.
It seems impossible to make all tbe physicians comply with the regulations of the state board of health, and some of them actually advise their patients to disregard the directions of the sanitary officer. Certificates have been issued to children in order that they might attend school within the time prescribed for them to remain at home after recovery, and in several instances children have been turned away from school. The other day a man residing in au infected house was found riding on a street car. Permission was given for a funeral on Thursday where the corpse was taken to another town for burial, accompanied by the family, and on the same day tbe child of Uda Fredericks was given a public funeral. The health officer has been doing all in his power to prevent these violations, but it is impossible for him to succeed so long as physicians absolutely refuse to render him any assistance. Tbe doctors know how diflicult it is to enforce sanitary regulations if they take a stand against it, but why any of them should defy such orders laid down by their own profession for public protection is beyond comprehension, unless the motive is mercenary.

The Sham and
Every good thing has its imitators, every genuine article its counterfeits. The Ammonir. and Alum Ba'ciiig- Powders sold over the counters are no more like Dr. PricoV, Cronm Baking* Powder, than the paste is like the real diamond, or a counterfeit is like one of the old master's genuine paintings.
When greedy and merciless manufacturers claim their adulterated and harmful baking powders are as good ns Dr. Price's, they know they are not telling the truth. These people know they are destroying the stomachs and the complexion of the consumers, and there are many grocers recommending such powders over their counters—knowing same to be injurious and worthless—simply to make a large profit.
Dr. Price, a concientious physician, has spent a lifetime in perfecting and popularizing his Cream Baking Powder, the only Pure Cream Tartar Powder now to be obtained.
Multitudes of imitators all over the land have sprung up, not to imitate the purity of Price's Cream Baking Powder, but to see how cheap they could make their counterfeits and hoodwink the public.
Some use Ammonia and others Alum, but all these shams cry in chorus, "Buy this, its just as good as Dr. Price's and
much cheaper. Price's Cream Baking Powder is the standard for purity and perfection the world over, and is beyond comparison.
Dr. Price stands for Pure Food and a foe to all shams.
