Hertford Couivty Herald THE LARGEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PRINTED IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. VOL. 8 AHOSKIE, N. C., OCTOBER 5. 1917. NO. ?8 COUNTY Mi FIGHT IKFECTW DISEASES New State Law Requires All Physicians and Househol ders to Report Cases to W. B. Pollard, M. D. To reduce the number of Infectious diseases in the coanty and thereby prevent number* of deaths, and save thousands of aollan is the task that has recently been aet before the people of the eotmty. The new State Quarantine law imposes this ? task, but with it, it does not impose any hardahip or impossibility. It requites only that every citiien shall do his duty in reference to any contagious disease in his household or community. It presupposes that every citiaen wants to see his conn ty rid of disease as far possible and will do all in his power to bring this about. The State quarantine law, which went into effect August 1, requires that every case of certain infectious di ieaaas in any hAme shall be report i ed within twenty-four hoars by either the physician in charge or, in eaae physician is not called in, by the householder, to the County quaran tine officer. The diseases to be re ported are whooping eougn, measles diptberia, scarlet fever, smallpox, infantile paralysis, typhoid fever and cerebro-spinal meningitis. Any home having a case of any of these diseases, when it has been reported, will have on it a large yellow plac card bearing the name of the dis ease. If there is no yellow card on the front of the house, and if there is a case of any ot the above dis eases in the house, either the physi cian or the householder has violated the law and, consequently, is liable to indictment and to the penalty of the law. The quarantine officer of this county it Dr. W. B. Pollard at Win ton, N. C. Reports giving the name, address and school district of any child or person having a case of any of the above named diseases must be made by him within twenty four hours after the disease has been recognized. He will once a month, publish all the names that have been reported to hind in the county newspaper in order that all public-spirited citizen* of the coun ty. and those who have less sickness and death, particarally among babies, children and young adults may report to him any case that hrs not been reported. They may send him the name of any pe-son who, they know, haa had any of the specified diseases and whose name does not appear in the paper. Such a service on the part of any citi zen will be held in strict confidence by the quarantine office and will be considered a service done for the good of humanity and for the pro tection of life in the county. The names of those reported to the quarantine officer as having a contagions disease last month are: Laura Sharp. Typhoid fever. ?

McAdoo Announces Second Issue of Liberty Loan Bonds Which Went on Sale October 1st. (I; V. (II. It Uh. KwrfUri if Trtuir;.) For the purpose of equipping with arms, clothing and food our gallant soldiers wno have been called to the field; maintaining our Navv and our valiant tars upon high seas; providing the necessary means I to pay the wages of our sol diers and sailors and, if the bill now pending in the Con gress passes, the monthly al lowances for the support of their dependent families and to supply them with life In surance; constructing a great fleet of merchant vessels to maintain the line of communication with our brave troops in France, and to keep our com merce afloat upon the high seas in defiance of the Ger man Kaiser and his subma rines; creating a great fleet of aero planes, which will give com plete supremacy in the air to the United States and the brave nations fighting with us against the German mili tary m^nace^and for other necessary war purposes, The Congress of the United Sta tes has authorized the Secretary of the Treasurer to sell to the Ameri can people bonds of the United Sta tes bearing four per cent interest, with valuable tax exemptions, and convertible under conditions into other issues of United States bonds that may be authorized by the Con gress. The official circular of the Treasury De(>artment gives full par ticulars. There is now offered to the American people a new issue of $3,000,000,000 of bonds to be known as the Second Liberty Loan. They will be issued in such denomi nations and utx>n such terms that every patriotic citizen will have an opportunity to assist the govern ment by lending his money upon the security of a United States bond. It is essential to the success of the war and to the support of our gallant troops that these loans shall not only be subscribed, but over subscribed. No one s asked to do nate or give his raonev to the Gov ernment; but everyone is asked to lend his money to the Government. The loans will be repaid in full with interest at the rate of four per cent per annum. A Govern ment bond is the safest investment in the world; it is good as currency and yet better, because the Gov ernment bond bears interest and currency does not. No other in vestment compares with it for safe ty, ready convertibility into cash, and unquestioned availability as col lateral security for loans in any bank in the United States. _______ . , Report of the Condition of f armers Bank of Eurc, Eure, AT.
