Stabbing on Island Sparks Quarrel Over Religion
W I Vincent was stabbed ten times by Fred Siltick last week in a quarrel over religion on their island home in the Missouri river west of Honey Creek. Vincent is recovering. It is probable that cut railroad rates will be secured for the Midwestern Horticultural congress in Council Bluffs in November, according to Harrie Norris, Secretary of the Council Bluffs Chamber of Commerce. Grain growers in southwestern Iowa report trouble obtaining coal for threshing, causing farmers to use high priced fuel. A Council Bluffs boy, Capt. B. B. Schoedsack, official photographer for the Red Cross in Russia, was in the penue when Bolsheviks captured Kiev, and he secured photos of the battles.

Scarlet fever health guidance and quarantine rules
Scarlet fever is highly contagious and requires physician oversight and strict quarantine. The incubation is two to four days, with high fever, sore throat, and a scarlet rash. Transmission occurs via contact with discharges or contaminated objects. Discharge containment and disinfection persist until peeling ends, 70 to 80 days in some cases. Isolation lasts 28 days or more, school is barred for children until 10 days after quarantine ends. Families may require selective disinfection and quarantines, with infectiousness lasting four weeks from onset. Diet centers on milk, with kidney risk prompting doctor visits and urine tests every 6 to 12 months after recovery. Potential complications include impaired vision, hearing loss, mastoid operations, and heart issues.

Americans are judged by the r owd acts not by their fathers
