In fact ! they have been conspicious by J their absence and The people ] requests those of its friends who may, in the future, have Probate Court notices that they wish to appear in this paper to notify the publisher in addition to so instructing the Judge of Probate. It appears that in more than one instance such instruc tions have been forgotten and the notices appeared in a paper other than The People. If the publisher of The People is noti- «► fied that^ a certain notice has been ordered to appear in this paper, he will not forget it and will take special pains to see that it appears as ordered. Just bear this in mind, please, and remember that we will not forget such little matters, no matter how others may suffer from lapses of memory. Now, who says everybody is profi teering?

But the pneumonia epidemic was checked, the typhoid threat nipped In the bud, and malaria stamped out. A Health Record Established - The little first-aid hospital present ly grew to a complete modern Institu tion with a nurses’ home and a sep arate dispensary for dental, eye, ear, nose, throat, genito-urlnury clinics and a surgical dispensary for first-aid work. During the eight months whek -the death rate was not affected by the In fluenza and pneumonia epidemics the general health rate waa 12.4 per thou sand per year, which la lower than In most cities lu the same latitude and climate, and the pneumonia death rate during the epidemic waa lower than In moat army cantonroenta.
