Mil ler, County Health Officer, that the SpanlBh Influenza epidemic in this county Is Blowly wearing ltseu oui and- that the few cases now in -exist ence are hardly to be considered, and that lb is safe to say that the danger is past.. Observence he says shows that when the disease Is transmitted from one .person to another, that it loses its power and becomeB less severe In Its aspect. This fact has made the quarantine method employ ed here very effective as It prevented transmission to a great extent and nearly all exposures were caused by Infractions or the quarantine rules the disease, however, becoming wea ker as It passed' appearing each time in a less virulent stage. He favors the continuance of the quarantine in Its present form, but believes that within -a short time the disease will pass out of existence. Several cases which have been reported lately Have been proven to be nothing more thon severe colds and have been released from quarantine; Have your fruit or ornamental tiees, vines or bush a prune! by a man with practical experience; write.

OF An order was made today in the circuit court by Judge Hamilton awarding the custody of .the minor children of Josle Clark and W. H. Clark to Mrs. Annie Lively, of Cot tage Grove. The matter has been in the circuit court for some time, considerable litigation being involv ed when Mr. Clark attempted to ob tain the custody of the children after they had been taken by his former wife who, after securing her divorce, was married to Joe Abeene, of Suth erlln. Clark introduced testimony in an attempt to show his former wife unfit to care for the children, while counter charges were made for the purpose of frustrating the attempts of the father to obtain the children. Judge Hamilton roundly scored both parties and refused to allow either the plaintiff or defendant the custody of the children and placed them un der the care of Mrs. W. J. Tester pending a-final decision, which was made today.
