In a general way weeds are a good
deal of curse. but their presence on
land-luxuriant and tall or slender

good evidence Of the fertility Of the

Late exhaustive inquiry into the
apple situation seems to show that the

that 1t will be to the advantage Of

this same product to market. The
storekeeper doesn't make the row he
ought to for fear of losing the custom
er's trade. while the consumer is long
suffering and does not like to make
trouble for the storekeeper. and thus
the fraud continues. In the aggregate
poultry keepers make nothing. but
rather lose, in the continuation of this
state of things. as the price paid Is
usually figured on the basis of the loss
to dealer and consumer. Much can be
done to improve the egg business by
stricter enforcement of pure food laws,
by more frequent gatherings of eggs In
hot weather, keeping in cool places
and frequent marketing. Investiga-
lions which haze been conducted show
that the egg producers Of the country
lose hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually through the careless and slip
shod way in which this important food
product Is handled. It's about time
for reform.

INQUIRIES REGARDING
 INFANTILE PARAL YSIS
AUGUST HEALTH BULLETIN
 WILL CONTAIN A STATEMENT WORK TRANSACTED BY STATE BOARD AT CAPITOL.

The state board of health is now re- ceiving letters from officers in the towns, on how to prevent and how to manage anterior pohomyelitis known as infantile paralysis. the, disease be- ing current in one or two places. Dr. Joseph H. Townsend. secretary of the board. is making out a statement in reply, saying that the disease should be treated as any other infectious di- sease. The only method to prevent it's spreading is quarantine.
 Dr. Townsend said there were per- haps fifteen cases in the state. there being several in Meriden. but he did not feel that the unaffected were in any danger. The number of cases shows no increase, and probably the disease will disappear. Cool weather will be of great assistance. as infantile paralysis appears only in warm wealth CT.

In the blood the germ gives off toxines. which. although rarely fatal, usually leave the affected person crippled. The second theory, which is more modern. is that the germ enters the blood by passing through the nose and throat and into the spinal column The disease is somewhat of the nature of spinal meningitis

CLOAK STRIKE IN NEW YORK SENDS
 BUSINESS WEST

New York, Aug. 11-Manufacturine cities in the middle west, particularly Cleveland, Cincinnati and St. Louis. are profit1ng materially by the cloak and suit makers strike now in pro- gress in New York. Manufacturers already sustained will aggregate sey- eraI million dollars in addition to a loss Of patronage that will be felt Tor several years to come.
 With the near approach of fall the jobbers and retailers are unable to secure the usual supply of cIoaks, skirts and other apparel in New York ana as result have been compelled to turn to the western cities.
 To make matters worse for the cas- tern manufacturers there is no i'm med1ate prospect for settling the strike. The large majority of the manufacturers in New York announc- ed that they proposed to reopen their establishment last Monday with such turn and with new hands. The strike leaders declare that the effort was a. dismal failure. The manufacturers on the other hand, declare they are making headway, but it is such costly headway that it is doubtful if thev will continue it much longer Lower 9th avenue, Broadway from 23rd to
 
 are almost like armed camps today The police conceded that this is one of the most peaceful strikes involving so many people ever conducted. TO prevent an outbreak, however. an un- usually large number of policemen has been massed in the cloak making dis tricts. Two policemen are on, duty in the doorway of nearly every plant that has been re-opened with strike breakers. In addition to the reguI- lar policemen and the extra city po- licemen nearly all the manufacturers have employed a number of special of ficers to guard their plants and to escort the strike-b breakers to and from their homes.
 The strikers are receiving large weekly donations from the unions all over the country and say they are in a position to continue the strike in- definitely.
