Projected and SeKled tJpen at ¦ Meet¬ ing ef CKIsene at Whieh Mayor Pre- sidee~Will Be Known as Procter Day, and People Are Aaked te Pay Tribute.
Udca. N. Y.—Gtlca la to bave an¬ other holiday, one entirely and exclu¬ sively its 0WD, to be observed tbis year and henceforth annually as long as the dty stands. It is to be known as Proc¬ tor day, in honor of a citizen, pbllan tbroplst and benefactorwho has done so much for tbe city—who bns surrounde<l it witb parks and cstabilBbed muny uf its charitable nnd public enter(irises Added, then, to the u.sual liolitluvs of the year. «« f.Tr as ftlr.-i i.s (•,)rnx'nii"l, will be Pructor da.v, when tlii' [k'hiiIc wlil ernse from their lalx'r.s iiinI ••clc brute the dny in a tittlnj; niaiiiicr. Ii.*. Ing for^vnrd to It from year in venr ai au estaljIlKhed orcasiim in tlu' liir of lhe city.
AH this wus determined and settled upon at n meeting of citizens held in the common couuiil i-hambers. the mayor of the city. Hon. .lames D Smith, presidbig.
Mayor Smith gave his indorsement of the project, declaring that he was will ing to serve In any capacity that would bo useful to tho project. D. F. Uowc. secretary of the chamber of commerce* was chosen secretary, and he also ex¬ pressed his gratitication over the fact that a Proctor day had been Inaugu¬ rated.
A general discussion followed, and ways and means of organizing Proctor day upon a permanent basis were con¬ sidered. Thc opinion prevailed that a permanent and self perpetuating body should be formed for conducting the celebration from year to year, with au¬ thority to apiKdnt cominittees to assist as occasion might require.
It Is understood, although it waa uot flnally settled, that the celebration thiH year should be held Saturday. July 8. There was some discussion ns to the practicability of having the celebration so near to the P'ourth of July, but this was regarded as a matter whicb could be determined after more considera¬ tion.
Thc ijue-stiou of financing the holiday also came up for discussion, and the opinion prevailed that the celebration should not be of a character requiring a heavy expense. It was agreed that tbere should be bands, speaking and a few attractions In the parks, but that the aim should be to make the occasion as much of a home affair as possible, where the |>copIe of the city could come together in pleasant recreation and amusement. As a mode of raising the little money required It was sug gested by Mr. Maher. and the sugges¬ tion was generally approved, that small reccptncles should he placed in tbe stores and factories of the city. Into which the people might deposit whatever amounts they choose to de¬ fray tbe expense*. It was suggested that the receptacles should bear the following Inscription:

Tbe United State publlc health service reporta that the epidemic of so-called grip has "spread" over the entire country. Boards of health ev¬ erywhere are reporting greatly in¬ creased death rates from pneumonia and bronchitis directly resulting from it. Scientists are hard at work study¬ ing the germs found in tbe throat and nose of the patients, and health officials through the newspapers are carrying on a campaign of education regarding means of avoiding Infec¬ tion.
Whether the germ that is causing this nation-wide epidemic is that of grip or Influenza (the Pfelffer bacil¬ lus) or as seems probable, this Is but one of the three or more organisms responsible, is a matter of purely scientific Interest. What 1.=! of inter¬ est to you Is to know how you may protect your own health and the health of thoee about you.
.Many people think of epidemics as a kind of disease cloud blown by the wind from one place to another: Its method of spread is better represent¬ ed by that of a little water poured on dry sand, which creeps from particle to particle in an ever-widening cir¬ cle. The chain of most catching dis- ' eases must have human links, or it breaks, for nearly all disease germs live but a short time outside of thc human body, especially when exposed to sunlight and fresh air.
Every national epidemic begins as a family epidemic and spreads from person to person. Wilh modern trav¬ eling facilities the people of Maine and California are actually in physi¬ cal contact one with the other.
"Colds" often lead to severe com¬ plications, especially pneumonia and bronchitis, which are fretiuentiy fatal particularly in infants and old peo¬ ple. These should be protected. Colds are "caught" by receiving into the mouth and nose infectious material from the mouth and nose of a person having a "cold," "getting a cold," or "getting over a cold," and in no other way.
The method of transfer of this in¬ fective material is by coughing and uneezing, spitting and kissing, espec¬ ially on the mouth and hy the u.se in common of drinking glasses, cups, tooth mugs, knives, forks and spoons, towels, pillow cases and handker¬ chiefs. Dry sweeping with a broom should always be avoided, but espec- lallv in a household where there arc "colds."
If vou are "getting a cold ' or are "getting over" one, keep away from the baby, and those of your house¬ hold who are old or in poor health. See that everything that goes into your mouth is thoroughly washed and scalded before being u.sed by others. Sleep by vourself. Keep your towels and handkerchiefs to yourself. Put .vour hand or handkerchief over your '•'outli when ynu cough and sneeze in the presence of others. If you must spit, see that what you discharge Is nroperly disposed of or destroyed. Never put your mouth close to a tele-
