There are a few more than a hundred cases in the state at present. In discussing the disease at their meeting Thursday morning the doctors pointed out the dangers of public gatherings, and asked that this newspaper request all parents to refrain from permitting their children getting into crowds. Further, the physicians said, parents should observe their children and notify a doctor in case there is any development of fever. Delay in reporting fever, they said, may result in a permanent infliction or death to the child. The physicians also commented on the dangers of mouth washes, uihinh it ura.Q caiH Viqva ft tpn 1 AAAvAAj A V II MW AIM I V M WV?? dency to irritate the throat, and suggested that before using these antiseptics that a doctor should be 1 consulted.

Vaughan of Henderson, formerly of this county, suggests that a repair shop be opened here and that a special program be put on against "cussing". His letter follows: Editor, Warren Record?I notice in your last weeks paper that your City Council has passed an ordinance requiring parellel parking on Main street.

"I would also like to suggest that a special program be put on against 'cussing' for if there is anything that prompts 'cussing' more than parallel parking I have been unable to ascertain what it is. I expect to visit Warrenton from time to time as I have always done, and like to do, and being of a religious turn of mind I shall certainly arrange to park on some side street. W. R.
