ISOLATION FOR
ALL CASES OF
The rules of the territorial health
board positively provide for Isolation
in a case of measles, and not for mere
ly a quarantine. This means that a
patient must be Isolated in a separate
room from tho rest of the family, or
inmates of the house, and the no one
but the regular attendants must enter
the room. The other Inmates of the
house, if well, may continue their daily
duties, but should not attend public
gatherings where there will be child
ren.
The whole misunderstanding comes
through a misprint in one sentence in
the printed rules. In three places the
rules distinctly state that isolation
only shall be followed in cases of |
measles, but that the house shall be
placarded to warn others against en
tering the house. The inmates of
the house who are well may continue
their daily vocations.
In another sentence the rules state
that the quarantine shall be for a
period of four weeks. That Is the
mistake, as isolation, instead of quar
antine is meant. The rules are in
terpreted that way by Oovernor J. F.
A. Strong, commissioner of health.
The territorial health board w'as,
provided for by the legislature of
1913, which provided that the gover
nor of the territory shall act as the
commissioner of health, one assistant
commissioner of health, one appoint
ment to each judicial division, and
to be appointed by the governor. The
first board included Earl M. Bevis,
and he, acting under instructions from
the governor as commissioner of
health, drew up the rules as provided
in the session laws of that year.
The rule under which measles are
governed says that. “By isolation is
meant that the patient is removed
from contact with other inmates of
the house and that the house is pla
carded. Well persons may leave the
house, provided their business does
not bring them Into contact with child
ren or they do not visit places of pub
lic gatherings. Municipalities are au
thorized to enforce a stricter lsola
tion if they deem it necessary or ad
visable. Non Immune children coming
in contact with measles are prohibi
ted from attending any school until
two weeks have elapsed after begin
ning of the last case In the family.”

The success of the L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriters has
been clue to the fact that the wants of the user have
dictated its construction. 1 he user has decided in favor
of certain improvements now incorporated in Model 8.

has been very nearly attained.
Decimal Tabulator—A help in billing and tabulating.
There is no extra charge foi this convenience.
Variable Line Splicer— Enables the operator to start on a
given line and space from point of starting; also to write
on ruled lines whose spacing varies from typewriter spac
ing. A great help in card work.
Faster Ribbon Feed—Insures new place of impact for each
typeface.
Choice of Carriage Return—Upon special order the new
left hand carriage return will be furnished in place of the
right hand return.
All the important features of previous models have been retained
