The law provides that all cases of contagious diseases shall be reported to the Health Officer. Any person knowing of a case of contagious dHeise and not reporting the same Is practically a violator of the law. Parents send ing their children suffering with a contagious disease to school or other public place are guilty of violating this law and should be prosecuted. Instead of making this a matter of gossip all cases of contagious di seases should be immediately report ed to the Health Officer. This officer will make an Investigation and quar antine Immediately all contagions cases, . The Health Officer solicits the co operation of every cltixen In this mat ter. F. D.
