ISOLATE SCAR
LET FEVER!
BY A PHYSICIAN.

When there is scarlet fever in the
house rigid care should be taken TO
prevent the infection from spreading
from the patient to other members OF
the household. Scarlet fever infec-
ton is not active at any great dis
lance from the victim. and when due
care is taken children may be pro-
tected from infection even in the
same house with scarlet fever case
The child that has been exposed to
scarlet fever or that shows symptoms
thereof should be segregated from
other children completely. No one
who has anything 10 do with the
nursing OF the sick child should be
allowed TO go near the other chill
dren. No dishes. clothing or bedding
from the sick room should be used
by others until thoroughly sterilized
by boiling. No dog or cat should be
allowed in the sick room, for they
are subject to the infection. and may
carry il in their hair or fur.
Keep the healthy children in a
room OF the house as remote as pos
sible from the sick room.
IL due care is thus taken the intec
ton may often be limited to the in
itial case.
After the patient has recovered
there still remains danger of infec-
ton. The scarlet fever germ is one
OF the most persistent known to SCI
ence. II may remain quiescent IN
clothing. on carpets or in trunks or
closets for an Indefinite time, waiting
for the unlucky child who may finally
come In contact with It, So follow

In order TO handle the crowds, the

CARE OF
DETECTIVES
Mr.. Griffin Urges State to
Provide Home for Un-
fOPtunateS
GET INFORMATION ON
SUBJECT THROUGH CANVASS

Howard Griffin. an instructor at the
pennsylvania Institution for Deaf,
at Mt Airy, Pa. who has been at
work during the present summer
making a special canvass of defec-
tiyes, the blind, deaf and feeble-mind-
ed In Delaware. for the Delaware
State Commission for the Blind. has
about completed his task and leaves
tonight to take up his duties in the
Mt. Airy institution, on Monday.
While the canvass is practically com
pleted, no figures as TO the number
Of afflicted persons have yet been
made public. the work OF compiling
them still occupying Mr. Griffin 5
time.
The object of the canvass was to
learn how many detectives there are
in the state, the figures to be COM
piled and presented before the next
Legislature in an effort to get the
state to build an institution for these
people. Those behind the movement
contend that the state is not making
adequate allowance for it's detectives,
particularly the feeble-minded. The
blind are receiving most attention, the
deaf next and last Of all the feeble
minded
Mr.. Griffin said that most Of the
states deaf are sent TO schools IN
Philadelphia and Washington. tho
blind to Philadelphia and Baltimore.
and the feeble-minded to Elwyn. Pa
THE need of an instituiion." said
Mr.. Griffin" is apparent from the fact
that even though the state did make
sufficient financial provision there is
no place for the feeble minded, insti-
tutions IN other states being filled
In addition to the feeble-minded there
are number Of blind and deaf peo-
pie in the state not in schools. and
the number of uneducated afflicted
adults is considerable, due entirely 10
the lack Of financial provision made
for them by the state"
In speaking of the feeble-minded.
Mr.. Griffin said: Il find that many
Of these unfortunates are being
crowded into Farnhurst with insane
persons. These are two seperate
classes Of people, entirely different.
Insane cases are hopeless unless a
cure can he affected. whereas IN most
instances. feeble-m minded person
with proper instruction, may be made
practically self-supportine.
Mr.. Griffin urges the erection Of an
institution for detectives in Delaware
and SAYS that from his detour Of the
state. in which he travelled hundreds
Of miles, a place OF this kind is an
absolute necessity. He is Della
warean, his home being at Clayton,
and is much interested in his work
For this reason the Delaware Com
mission for the Blind selected him 70
canvass the state. That he has done
good work. the commission feels sure.
and some interesting data as a result
Of his canvass will be prepared and
sent to the Legislature.
