Socialistie Platforms.

"Uncle Ike" says: Not long ago the
Hon. James +. Carey of Haverhill,
Mass made a speech to the Boston
Socialists in which he alluded to the
fact that Socialism itself was making
rapid progress in the old parties; that
every new platform aGopted by the
more and more of Socialism and more
and more Socialist party planks were
being stolen from mis- party. Mr.
Carey was right and if any proof Were
wanting all you have To do is to read
the platform of Hon. David /. Walsh

published in the papers. Mr.. Walsh
stands for municipal ownership OF
anything and everything, under GER

so in the organiZa ton of his campaign

School DAYS Are Here.

School days are here again, ana
tember is filled with good things CON
corning the relation of school life u
health-ventilation heating, lighting
diet and many other things of i'm
mense consequence to every home, i
only considered and obeyed. We ap-
pend two articles of especial merit At
this time The first Contagious Dis
eases" by by Ralph Oakley Clock,
M. D., New York, and the other
Paste This in the School Books" is
by Or. David II. Reeder:
- CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
Ordinarily, the terms contagious
and infectious are used anonymously
as referring To diseases communlca=
BILE from one person to another. There
is, however, a distinction: contagious
diseases are usually transmitted by
direct contact; while infectious dis
eases are transmitted by air, water or
food. The principal diseases 10 DE
considered in connection with school
life are: measles, scarlet fever, dlph-
liberia, whooping cough, mumps,
chickenpox, smallpox, tuberculosis, in
fiuenza, typhoid fever, and contagious
eye and skin diseases.
Spread OF infection is produced by:
!. Air, which carries the germs Of
measles. diphtheria, whooping cough
tuberculosis, humps, chickenpox anu
influenza.
9. Water and Food: typhoid fever
and cholera being transmitted by
water; tuberculosis, scarlet fever,
diphtheria and measles being spread
by infected milk.
3. Clothes, in which germs of scar
let fever and smallpox lie dormant for
long periods.
4. Living creatures: diphtheria and
typhoid fever are actively carried by
flies; eats, undoubtedly suffer from
diphtheria and spread that disease.
The most important school diseases
of this climate, both because of their
frequent appearance and because OF
the seriousness OF their nature, are:
measles, scarlet fever, and diphtheriai
these diseases leave troublesome at
ter effects on the eyes, ears, anu
voice.
Most of the common school diseases
are ushered in by coughing, sneezing
nasal discharge, or the symptoms of u
sore throat, all OF which are com
monty known as cold. Hence, II
every child with a cold were excluded
from school, the probability of schools
being the means of conveying these
diseases would be Immediately les
sened.
Another rule that should be in
forced is the exclusion from school,
during the period when the disease is
apt to develop, of all children who
have been exposed, or who have come
in contact with sick children at school.
II is of very little value To exclude a
sick child from school unless the chill
dren who have come in contact with
that sick child are excluded also from
school, since the same disease may
develop in them and thus be trans
mitted to other children, and an cpl
demic developed.
The following essentials are neces-
sary for the preservation of health in
school children.
/. Short hours.
2. Frequent recesses.
8. Well-ventilated rooms.
4. Proper food.
6. Medical inspection.
6. Exclusion from school of chill
dren suffering with colds or contagious
diseases.
Z. Exclusion from school, DURING
the period of incubation, of all chill
dren who have been exposed to con-
fagion.

COURT RULES JURY
CAN 7 Be HURRIED
Magistrates Time Limit of Thirty
Minutes for Verdict Called Err
ror in Laurens County Case.

Giving a jury a specified time in
which to settle a case is an error, ac-
cording to a decision handed down
by the Court Of Appeals Wednesday
The decision is in a case in the Dub
lin City Court. Haywood against
Kitchens, in which the justice gave
the jury 80 minutes in which to re-
turn a verdict. The decision reads
In the trial Of a case on appeal in
a justice court, It was error for the
magistrate to inform the jury that he
desired to take the train in 30 min
utes; that he wanted a verdict one
way or the other within that time, in
order to permit him to take the train,
and that he would get rid Of the case
some way in that time While the
amount involved was small. the evil
dence was sharply conflicting and
somewhat voluminous, and the con-
duct of the justice tended to hasten
the consideration Of the case"
Another interesting decision was
made when the court ruled in favor
Of damages for an arrest for cutting
down telephone poles placed upon
certain property without the consent
of the owner or through the medium
Of condemnation proceedings. In the
case Of Holiday against Coleman. the
plaintiff sued for damages for false
arrest, charging he was detained by a
constable tor an hour and a half Evil
dence showed he had cut down poles
gang Of wOrkmen had erected on
his property.
