emer ‘Care Should be Used in Car- AVOID CNNECESSARY CONTACT OLD TIMERS PUT UP GOOD GAME Children Should Not Be Permitted | Range Team’ Failed to Show Up About a Typhoid Fever Pa- tient as They Easily Be- come Affected. Typhoid fever is an _ infectious disease caused by a_ speciffe germ generally present in the stools and urine of typhoid fever patients and sometimes present in the sputum, and the excretions of the nose and saliva. If these germs find their way to body or bed linen, to clothes, fioor or tableware, to milk, vegetables, fruit or salads, they can gasily enter the systems of other persons. The disease can be carried by drinking water, and by infected water when used for cleansing eat- ing and drinking utensils or un- cooked vegetables or fruits. The fact that flies can transmit this disease is well established. Transmission of the disease by soiled clothing and other articles used by patients is a common source of infection. Water used for washing and bath- ing typhoid fever patients can) also sause infection and must be ren- dered harmless by disinfection be- fore 1t is thrown out. Such water must not be emptied near wells or other water supplies. It the typhoid germ is transmitted directly te persons in close contact with the pd nt, these cases known as “‘contact. cases” If the germis are transmitted by articles in general use, such as water, are mil 0d, etc., epidemics r arise, many Cases 0€ ring simultaneously, In case the patient should be isolated in a room of the dwelling all unnecessary communication with the patient must be avoidéd. No one should visita person suffering with typhoid fever unless compelled to ao so. Children especially should not be permitted about a typhoid fever patient experieuce shows that that they can easily become infected and carry the disease to others. Children belonging to families where typboid fever exists should be ex- cluded from-school unless the patient bas been removed fram the home. A room occupied by a typhoid fever patient should be very plainly fur- nished. Carpets should be. removed, and if rugs are used these should be disinfected daily. The floor should be washed with a disinfecting solu- tion at least once every day. Special pains must be taken to exclude. flies from the sick room or from the soiled clothing or excreta of a typhoid feyer patient. Conduct of as Nurses.—Persons en trusted with the care of typhoid fever patients should we shable cloth- ing. They should oserve the greatest cleanliness. After coming in contact with the patient, or with the pat- yent’s liven or bedding, or after removing the evacuations of the patient, the hands of the purse should be thoronghly cleansed with soap, brus hot water, and disin- fected. Esp¥cial care must be taken in bathing the» patient; the water sbould be splashed about as little as possible. Nurses are’ warsed) not to touch food before cleansing and dis- infecting their hands, orsto putan article into the mouth which may bave betome infected by a patient i eae or by other agencies, such as As a disinfecting wash for the hands a three per,cent solution of carbolic acid, ereolin or —lysol. in water is to be preferred to a corrosive sublimate solution, Trade in Provisions.—The prepar- ation, storage and sale of provisions in or near rooms occupied by typboid fever patients must not be allowed under any circumstances. During an epidemic particular pains should be takenin the care cand use of miJk, fruit, vegetables, etc., that are used ina raw condi- tion. 3 . _and Took Sunday Game by Score or 7 to 1. Sunday and Juniors Defeated a Picked-Up Team by a 8 to 5 Score. . The Grand Rapids Grays lost their third game of the season Sunday when Cass Lake defeated them by ascore of 7 tol. The game was lost owing to the fact that whenever Grand Rapids made an error an op- portune hit generally brought the runner home. However, credit is also due Semidt, the Cass Lake twirler, who is a wonder. He had. plenty of speed, the breaks in his curves were quick and he had the Grays guess- ing the greater share of the time. Brownlee pitched good ball but was given ragged support and altogeth- er it was an off day for them. An occasional loss, however, will do the boys good, as it will serve to awaken them to the fact that they must play ballall the time. The Grays have lost only three games out of a total of twenty-two games played and have reason to feel proud of their record. The exciting game of the season was between the Grays and the Old timers at Southside park Thursday evening. Seven innings were play- ed and at times the crowdwent wild with excitement. The Gri played it low down on the Old-timers in the first inning by running in four scores and the crowd voiced their disapproval by telling the umpire he was rotten and that he must give the Old-timers a better deal. quieted down in the s and neither side third the Old-timers re; run. s istered a were blanked. In the sixth Chas. Pogue made spectacular run. other run in the seventh and the Grays also pounded out of the Grays. Hachey and Zimmers, Shoaff and Pogue held down the rubber for the Old-timers while Brownlee, Wellein and Peterson did } likewise for the Grays. The “pick of the range’ team, that was going to trim the Juniors, failed to show up anda hastily pick- ed up team was lined up against the Juniors would not be disappointed. They played the game hard and the crowd seemed well satisfied with the exhi- bition put up. too strong for them, however, and the game ended with the score 8 to 5 in favor of that team. | HUGHES BLOCK CONTRACT LET) Kiang Lumber Company Was Suc- cessful Bidder---Have Started Work.

Spang’s re-election. We do not question the truth of a word that paper says in praise of him. Listen tothis from the Iron News: It would be unjust, we are convinc- ed, to accuse Auditor Spang of any short-comings. The state examin- ers give him high praise, which they would not do, if he did not de- serveit. Everything goes to show him painstaking and honest, and we for one would be the last to want to think of him otherwise.”” Now what do you think of that. The Iron News is certainly very incon- sistent. It puts up a how! that Itas- ca county should have a new coun- ty auditor and yet says it would be pa to accuse Auditor Spang of any shortcomings. If | Auditor Spang has no shortcomings, and ‘we, like the Iron News, think he has not, why does that paper wish a change? Conducting the affairs of Itasca county is like conducting a large business establishment and we have always noticed that when a corporation secures a good man they keep him. Itasca county isa big one—the fourth in taxable size in the state—and itis therefor very important that the affairs of the county be administered in a com- petent manner. It is useless for the Iron News, or any other paper, to state that anyone can hold down the job. The county auditor, like any other business man, -must gain insight into the affairs of the office by experience. We do not believe in experiments. They are costly. Mat Spang has conducted the affairs of his office in an able manner and there is no one who can truly state that he has notat all times faith- fully done his duty.
