THE report in some Of our papers and
the Philadelphia Times that the Retail
Grocers Association Of Wilmington in
tends TO ask the coming Legislature to re-
enact the old attachment law is far off
the mark and the further statement that
George W. Gray nominee for the Legisla-
ture, is cooperating with the association
to that end, is absolutely false, as Mr.
Gray has not been present at the meetings
nor has he been consulted about legisla-

association has been considering means

The interest in the department Of

the laws of health and the conditions of
right living.
p Work for the children in the cheer
full home society in which are gathered
children from the homes Of those ignor-
ant Of the principles Of hygiene, order
and economy, TO be given simple lessons
regarding healthful home life.
s. Efforts for the National Temperance
Hospital, work that should receive the
warmest encouragement and practical aid
Of the health department.
The dissention Of knowledge, regard
ing healthful living, by means Of public
health lectures aud health-talks, and by
the distribution Of health literature.
The holding Of hygenic Institutes for
the discussing of matters pertaining to
health, the giving Of hygenic dinners and
teas for the better education in the
preparation of food. the establishment Of
gymnasia for physical training, the
urgent pleas for the adoption Of healthful
modes Of dress. In all such practical
ways the workers in this department
have been striving for the health Of the

coNTAeIous DISEASES.
The Board Of Health Looking After Ty.
phoid Fever, Etc.

photd Fever, Etc.
The Board of Health have entered with
much spirit into their new work TO place
scarlet fever, diphtheria and typhoid
fever on the list of contagious diseases
to be reported to the board Ii is desired
that the cooperation of all the physi-
clans in the city be secured in
order To enable the board to carry out
their object effectively. The reasons adj
yanced by the board fol- this step are
good. Frequently rumors are current to
the effect that some one Of the diseases
named is epidemic in the city, the result
of which is that the report g es out into
the surrounding country and business is
seriously affected. This has occurred at
least q dozen times in the past few years
and is liable TO occur at any time
All the diseases named are of such a
nature that they arise from some local
cause, which if properly understood can
be removed by the Board. It is the in
tention therefore to have all physicians
to locate the diseases and to give an
account Of their surroundings. Another
great advantage to be gained by the plan
is that where cases of scarlet fever are
reported, If the children Of the family 60
TO school, they can be removed until the
sick person has recovered
The matter viii come up for considera-
ton At the next meeting Of the Board Of
Health. IL they decide to carry their
plans into execution an ordinance will be
asked Of City Council and the work com
menced on the first Of the coming year.
