XXTI eOIiDSBORO, K. C, THUESDAY, APJRILi 16, 1908. NO. 42 quarantinf Disinfection. Extract From Section Eight of an Act Relating To The Board 0! Health, Ratified March 1, 1893. By order of the Board ol County Com missioners we publish the lollowing, and the county physician states that the law will be rigidly enforced wher ever necessary: Chapter 216. Laws of 1907, as amended in 1901. "Inland quarantine shall be under the control of the county superintend ent of health, who shall see that dis eases especially dangerous to the pub lic health, viz., smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, yellow fever, typhus fever a.d cholera, are properly -quarantined and isolated within twenty-tour hours after the case is brought to his "knowl edge, and that after the death or re covery or removal of a person sick of either of the diseases mentioned, the rooms occupied and the articles used lay the patient are thoroughly disin fected in the manner -set forth in the printed instructions., both as to quar antine and disinfection, which shall be furnished him by the Secretary of the State Board of Health. The expense of the quarantine and of the disinfec tion shall be borne 'by the householder in whose family the case occurs.if able, otherwise by the city, town or county of whieh he if a resident. Any person neglecting or refusing to comply with or in any way violating the rules pro mulgated in the manner above setforth on the subjects oi-quarantine and dis infection, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be fined or imprisoned, at the dis cretion of the court, not less than five or more than fifty dollars, or less than ten or more than thirty days. In any city or incorporated town having a regularly appointed medical health of ficer, who is a member of the county board, of health, the duties assigned in this section to the county superintend ent of health shall oe performed by the said medical health officer for the peo ple of his city or town." superintendent of health, municipal health officer, or attending physician, that the precautions required as to time of detention and under the head of disinfection have been taken. Chil dren must have certificates before re entering school. In cases of diphthe ria, scarlet fever and measles the chil dren of the family must be kpt away from school (and should be kept away from other children, of course) until two weeks alter the recovery or death of the patient. See section 12 of the amended law. 6. No person residing in a quaran tined house shall go beyond the lot (or farm, providing there be no other per son living thereon), or come incantact with any one from outside. 7. When a house is quarantined any person residing therein, other than the patient, who wishes to leave for the purpose of changing his residence, may do so with the written permission of the county superintendent of health or municipal health officer, provided he takes all the precautions required under disinfection. 8. The body of every person who has died of either of the diseases men tioned must be disinfected in the man ner described below. It must be kept isolated up to the moment of the funeral in the room occupied by such person during his illness. The funeral should take place as soon as possible, and in all cases be private, attended only by those absolutely necessary to the pro per performance of the burial. Chil dren should under no circumstances be present. 9. When there is a case of either of the diseases mentioned in a house, a placard, stating the name of the dis ease, to be furnished by the county superintendent of health, must be post ed on the front door of said house. This placard must not be removed in any case until the premises have been disinfected, and then only by the coun ty superintendeot of health or the mu nicipal medical health officer in per son, or by express permission of the same. 10. Persons who have been exposed to either of the diseases named in sec tion 8 must be quarantined for the full period of incubation. DISINFECTION. QUARANTINE. 1. Every person sick of either of the diseases mentioned in the above extract from section 6 of the health law must be immediately isolated with a nurse in a separate room, it there be one. Ah carpets, curtains and upholstered furn iture should be removed. Nothing should be taken out ot such room at any time during or after the sickness . without having been previously disin fected in the manner described under the head ot disinfection. The nurse should wear clothing of washable ma terial and should remain in the quar antined apartment. The mildness of the attack must not be permitted to beget laxity in carrying out these in structions.? 2. When anyof the diseases men tioned above occur In a house contain ing only one room, the house and all persons residing therein shall be quar antined. The same rule shall apply to the entire house, even if of sufficient size to permit the isolation of the sick person and his nurse in a separate room, in cases ot smallpox,- cholera, yellow fever and typhus fever; but in cases of scarlet fever and diphtheria the quarantine need extend only to the room occupied by the patient and his nurse and to the occupants thereof. Whenever possible, persons sick of smallpox, typhus fevei or yellow fever should be immediately removed to quarters specially provided for the de tention and treatment of such cases. Particular care should be taken to quarantine for a time sufficiently long to insure safety to others all persons who have'been exposed to infection . before the removal of the patient. 3. When a house is in quarantine no one whatever, excepting the attend ing physician and the minister, should be admitted, o The person doing the outside service lorga quarantined fam ily should take ordersi:verbally Irom a distance and should lay down at the entrance of the house or room any ar ticles he may bring there. No pet dog or cat should be allowed in the room. 4. When either of the diseases men tioned has declared itself in ahouse,no work for trade purposes or private f am - , ilie8 should be taken in by any one in habiting the same, and all sueh work as may have been taken in before the outbreak of the disease must be disin fected before being sent home. 5. No person recovering from either of these diseases, and 'no person who has nursed or been exposed to such a patient should quit the honse before I I. DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF THE DISEASE. (a) . All the sunlight possible, and as much fresh air as the nature of the disease and the state of the weather will permit, should be admitted to the sick-room. (b) . The expectoration and evacua tions of the patient should be recei ved in vessels in which there is considera ble quantity of one of the solutions named below, or an equal quantity of either of them should be added there to, the mixture stirred and allowed to stand at least a half-hour before empty ing into the water closet, it the house be connected with a system of sewers, or otherwise, being buried at a distance of not less than 100 feet away from any well or spring. (c) . Soiled body and bed clothing, handkerchiefs, rags, etc., should, as soon as discarded, be immediately burned or immersed in a vessel ol suf ficient size, containing enough of one of the solutions given below to com pletely cover them, and kept there un til they can be thoroughly boiled for not less than a half hour in plain watei, and then washed and dried in the sun. (d) . The remains of the food served to the patient should be burned in the room, or soaked in one of the disinfect ing solutions mentionedi and then buried. II. AFTER RECOVERY, REMOVAL. ' DEATH OF THE PATIENT. OR (a) . Of the articles used and room occupied by the patient. The vessels should be washed in a disinfecting so lution. Burn in a hot fire, sufficiently fierce to consume quickly and com pletely, sueh articles as are not too valuable. Others than can be boiled without injury should be boiled hard for not less than a half hour, then thor oughly washed and dried in the sun. The remainder furniture, curtains, woolen clothes, pillows, beds, mat tresses and other articles which have been exposed to the infection should be hung on racks, or otherwise loosely distributed about the room, so as to permit tree access ot the gas to every part, the carpet, if there be one, being left on the floor, and then disinfected at the same time with the room by for maldehyde fumigation. Afterwards woolen clothing, currency, and blank ets should be placed in a trunk, or tight box, each piece being well sprinkled with formalin as it is laid down, and kept shut up close for at least twenty four hours. Finally they should be jeeeiying a certificate from the county I hung in the open air and well sunned. If preferred, in cases where every article in the room can be subjeoted to the process to be named, or when the room cannot be made tight enough to retain the formaldehyde fumes, every article in the room, which can be, should be boiled and the remainder, including the floor and the wood-work, should be well soaked with the bichlo ride solution No. 1 or a 5 per cent so lution of carbolic acid. The walls and ceiling should have the same solution thoroughly applied to them (spraying with an ordinary foet fruit sprayer, costing about $3, is a good method), or be well whitewashed. (b). Of the person of the recovered patient. Wash the body, including the hair, with bichloride solution No. 1 and put on clean clothes that have not been in the sick-room, that have been disinfected as prescribed in 1 (c). (c). Of the dead body. Wrap the body in a well-sewed sheet thoroughly saturated with the bichloride solution No. 2, and place in a hermetically sealed coffin. (d). Of persons before leaving a house which has been quarantined. Wash at least the uncovered portions of the body hands, face, beard and hair better the entire body, in the bichloride solution No. 1, and put on clean clothes that have not at any time been exposed to the infection or have been disinfected in any manner de scribed. The notice of the attending physician and clergyman, -is called to the importance of their observing these precautions. The attending physician always, before entering the sick-room, should put on a long coat or gown of some sort, buttoning it close around the neck over the collar, which should extend to the top ot his shoes. If pro vided with a hood to cover his head it would be still better. Immediately upon leaving the room this garment should be removed and stored in a sale place, or in a special bag and looked up if he should need it for o titer cases. This would not -cause much trouble and might prevent the -conveyance of the disease by him to others. (e) . Of a vehicle used to carry the body, living or dead, of one affected with either of the disease enumerated Remove all -cushions, curtains and other accessories and disinfect by boiling or soaking in the bichloride so lution No. -2 and wash the wood-work with the latter. Vehicles that can be tightly closed can be disinfected still better by formaldehyde fumigation. 7. Fumigation with Formaldehyde (ias. Thi is the best, simplest and most satisfactory method ot disinfect ing a room and its contents. The method to be pursued as as follows Make the room tight by plugging the throat of he chimney or -the hole for the stove-pipe, and pasting strips of paper over at least the large cracks around doors and windows. Spread out thoroughly by hanging on backs of ehairs, the head and foot boards of the bedstead and on lines stretched across the roo m all articles that can not be burned or boiled, setting the mattress on edge. As formaldehyde is much more effective .at. a; high tempe ratui e and in the presence of moisture, in cold weather the room should be warmed to At least SO -degrees. The steam generated in the process detail- ad below will furnish the moisture. Having thus prepared the room, spread evenly in a thin layer on th bottom of a lax ge dish-pan holding not less than 3 1-2 gallons, or some simi lar vessel, as a tin foot-tub, for ex ample, 7 1-2 ounces of the fine needle shaped crystals of the permanganate ot potash and pour thereon. 1 pint of 40 per cent, formaldehyde solation the standard commercial form. Then leave the room as quickly as possible, as the gas is generated very rapidly. li-eep the room tightly closed tor at least four hours, after whieh it can be safely opened and aired; If the disin faction is done in the morning the oc cupants of the room need not be kept out over night. A pint of formalde hyde solution and 7 1-2 ounces of per manganate of potash are the quanti ties required for 1,000 cubic feet, and should be porportionately increased for larger spaces. For the more resis tant micro-organisms of tuberculosis or septicemia these quantities should be increased 50 per cent. Permanganate in the form of fine needle-shaped crystals Is much better than the larger octohedral crystals. They should present a bright metallic luster, for when they have a dull look it means that they have lost, in part, their efficiency. It would save inconvenience if the health officer would provide himself with a measure of some kind, as it is much easier and quicker to measure the permanganate than to weigh it. Every superintendent of health and muncipal health officer should always keep on hand himself, or see that some drug store keeps in stock, a sufficient supply of these drugs. j The method of generating formalde hyde gas described above, whileknown before, has been worked out and fully demonstrated by abundant and careful experimentation by the State Board of Health of Maine, to whom we ac knowledge our indebtedness. Besides doing away with more or less expen sive and complicated apparatus, liable to get out of erder, it is actually more efficient, because of the rapid evolu. tion of the gas 85 per cent, in the first fifteen minutes, it is estimated. 8. Sulphur Fumigation. The room must be vacated. Close as tight as possible every opening, fire-place by stuffing throat of chimney with old bags or plenty of straw, cracks around the windows and doors by pasting strips of paper over them, etc. Place small lumps or powdered sulphur, in the proportion of 4 pounds for every 1,000 cubic feet of air space to be dis infected, in an iron pot or pan tree from cracks. Set the vessel, if it has no legs, on bricks in the bottom ot a tub containing from 2 to 3 inches of hot water (to put out fire in case burn ing sulphur should leak out or over flow and to furnish the moisture in the atmosphere which is essential to its effectiveness); light with red-hot coals or by pouring on two ounces of alcohol add applying a match. Be careful not to inhale the fumes. Close the door of exit as tight as possible. Keep the room closed for twelve hours, except in cases where the family has no other room in which to sleep, then six hours. Then open all doors and windows and air thoroughly. This is not so good as formaldehyde fumiga tion and has the disadvantage of bleaching colored fabrics and cor rod ing metals. COMPULSORY EDUCATION. Urges Public to Co-Operate With Railroads.

BOY ID GIRL CURED OF SORES Which Broke out on Face and Body Medical Treatment Did Them No Good MotherCured Both Her Lfttie Ones and Now The WHOLE FAMILY JOINS IN PRAISE OF CUTICURA "My son's trouble v?as running sores which first Appeared on his face and Then DroKe out an iover .his body. 1 had tried doctor ter doctor for three months but none helped him. Then I was ad vised to try Cuti cura. My drug gist said that he could give me a salve that would help him, but I de manded Cuticura Ointment and af ter using it for a "while I was surprised to see an improv ement. I treated the sores with Cuticura Ointment on soft bandages after washing with warm water and Cuticura Soap, and gave him the Cuticura Pills. In two weeks he was al most cured, and after the steady use of Cuticura Remedies for two or three months I can now say that I have one of the finest boys in town, and I tell all my neighbors that he owes his health to Cuticura. Later my little daughter was all covered with sores on her face and body. I didn't waste much time or money with doctors, as I had done when my boy was sick, but used the Cuticura Remedies on her, and now my little girl is entirely cured. I send you her photo graph to show how she looks after we used 1 Cuticura. I . know of several other cures which - Cuticura Remedies have effected, including that of our domestic.

Corp. Sole Props. Boston, Mass. nsr-Mailed Free. Cuticura Book on Skin Diseases. APPROVES M EA E He Says The New System Makes Less Bookkeeping, Thereby Permitting Lower Rates to be Put Into Effect. W. D. Nesbitt, associate railroad commissioner of Alabama, urges the traveling public to co-operate with the railroads in putting into effect their mileage book system. "I note considerable criticism in the papers of the plan the railroads have adopted in putting on sale their 1000 and 2000 mile, two-cent interchange able tickets," said Mr. Nesbitt. "There seems to be complaint on ac count of the fact that these tickets have to be exchanged at the ticket offices tor the regular card tickets and are not ac cepted by train conductors except from stations where regular tickets are not on sale. i "Without a full understanding of the situation this requirement of the rail roads might be considered arbitrary and unnecessary. As a matter of fact, however, the requirement is one made in order to save expense in the book keeping and accounting departments of the railroads. Where th mileage strips are by conductors on the trains from books sold by one road and good on several roads, special reports have to be made by the conductors on account of this mileage, and special settlements made between the railroads. Under the plan adopted by the railroads, this mileage comes only through the regu lar ticket offices and hence requires a much simpler form of accounting and bookkeeping, and reduces the clerical force necessary to handle the business It also reduces the possibility of error by conductors in tearing mileage and enables them to handle their passengers much more expeditiously, and. there tore, gives them more time for atten tion to the running of their trains. "The public should, by as much co operation as possible, encourage the railroads to establish these cheaper rates, and realize that if we are to have reasonable rates and good service, every unnecessary expense and waste must be cut off. Every time an unnec essary expense is removed the net re turns to the railroad is increased, and, therefore, the smaller the gross charge which it is necessary for them to make in order to get a reasonable return upon their investments. "Buying these 1000 and 2000 mile tickets, as compared with the purchase of ordinary fares, is just like buying wholesale and letail. The man who bnys wholesale gets it at a cheaper price, but has to get delivery in lwrge quantities and in a less expensive way than the man who is buying retail. For instance, the man who is willing to buy a crate of eggs and send to the depot to get them, pays probably pays 13 and 14 cents psr dozen, while the man buy ing a single dozen and asking the gro cer to deliver them at his house will likely pay 25 or SO cents per dozen. "The cheap tickets offer transporta tion at wholesale rates if one is willing to use this transportation in such a way as will enable the railroads to reduce the expense of delivering it."
