HEALTH PRECAUTIONS
The Board of Health hawng
in mind the spread of the bin
epidemic in coast towns, and the
fact th it it is now rpgii g ir ( ( i
dova, have pi ice 1 a quranti ie
upon McCarthy.
Passengers who arrived on
■ he last two tr ins have been
isolated fora period o five
d*-tys, and further travel is pro
hibited.
Arrangemen ts 1 ave been made
for the fumigation of all mail,
and all Railroad employees and
those who have busim ss at the
depot are required to wear the
maaks.
Up to this hour no cases are
reported in town, and if the
greatest care is exercised by
the res idents, and the Board of
Health is given every assistance
in taking precautions, we will
possibly escape the disease.
It is absolutely essential that
any suspicious cases be report
ed immediately, and the first
symptoms of sickness be treated
as such. There need b? no panic
if the rules laid down by the
Health Department are followed.
Dr Hill has inoculated a large
percentage of the residents this
week, with serum advocated by
the government.
I have just returned from Seattle with a full line of
Groceries and Provisions. Also a swell line of Fancy
Turkeys, Broilers, Ducks and Geese,' besides juicy
young porkers mutton and corn fed beef.
And, Listen; Shell Fish, Fresh Halibut, Cod and all

CHRISTMAS will be the day of Big Eats in

and Thrifts do not.
