 Various. methods bv which the dis l oase may be discussed and the neces- stty of milk supply coming from d clean source is emphasized. In addi- -tion says the bulletin, the elementary rules of cleanltness both as to per son and house should be observed

 Reference Is also made to the prev alance of scarlet fever at Torring ton Says the bulletin.
 The seasonal prevalence of scarlet fever resembles that of diphtheria, the greatest number Of cases occur- ring in the fall or early winter Oc- casionalIy an outbreak comes out of season as the present one in TorTang- ton.
 There is one of the infectious dIs2 eases which diners in the intensity of it's outbreaks, as does scarlet fever. The eases at present are. as a sIllle.l mid This renders its control more diffacuIt as the annb alatory eases, with. only slight syrnpto1nH are difi1z cult to detect and may convey the disease as we'll as the more seuaous ones
 The essential features of preven7 ton consist in disinfectiom. Health officers and physicians can do Little towards control without the coop pera- ton of the public and all should obey the golden rule by submitting to d proper diagnosis of even the nnildest cases and by a. strict observance of all sanitary regulations. z

Residents of the Fifth district are up in arms over improvements they feel warranted in securing after years of waiting and the taxation to which they are submitting. Especially in dignant are those living on Lenox avenue. between ATaplewood avenue and 60ewey street. who alege that all though they petitioned over three years ago to have their section of the
 West End paved and later were or .dered to install sidewalks, nothing but .clIrbing and gtltters has even graced their doorya1'ds and through the action of passing summers and winters the crown of the street is now a valley lower that the glItters.
 Three years ago Philip Farley pre- scented a. petition to the common coun- cil for the repair and macadamizing of the block, to which every resident subscribed. Since that time 4 houses have been erected and but one vacant lot remains.
 Two years ago new walks were or dered and laid sons both sides of the street at the expense of the property owners. except where one lot remained unimproxed. The gutters and curb ing were put in ana monthly those who had moved to the block waited for the city to order pavement.
 The street became one over which corsi dera.b1e traffic passed and though needed, the pavement came not Au- tos pass through constantly, raising dust and digging rutsss but neither oil nor water are spread by the city. To- day the gutters are said to present their sides higher than the roadway and the wash of water runs in chan neIs worn into the be ed Of the street.
