PRECAUTIONS AGAINST

Chief Health Officer Levy issues
Warning to Parents " Young
Children.
NO KNOWN CASE IN RICHMOND
Physicians Urged to Report Promptly
Any Suspected Case and to AID In
Preventing Epidemic Conditions
Such rs Prevail in Northern Cities.

Every precaution should 10 taken by
residents Of Richmond against an cp-
demc of infantile paralysis. such AS
is now prevailing in New York CITY
and which has made its appearance in
numerous cities near the metropolis
according to warming issued last
night by Or. r.. G. Levy, Chief Health
officer Little is known regarding thu
means by which the disease is spread
said DR.. Levy, but there are certain
fundamental principles which apply TO
all contagious diseases. The most inn
por,ant OF these, said the health OIL
Ger. is preventing contact between
healthy individuals and those who have
the disease or are carriers.
"infantile paralysis is terrificaily
sudden in its onset" declared DR.. Levy.
1T affects especially young children.
but no age period is Immune The
early symptoms are fever, restlcssncss
frequent vomiting and pains in the
limbs. Paralysis frequently occurs
within the first twenty-four hours. and
nearly always within the first week
This paralysis most commonly shows
all possible combinations Of both legs.
one arm, one leg and the opposite
arm, and so on, are common. Where
death occurs. II is usually due TO
paralysis OF the muscles OF respiration.

KEEPING CLOSE WATCH
!. FOR CASES IN RICHMOND


FOR CASES IN RICHMOND
Should cases OF iLtantilc paralysis
appear in this city" continued DR..
Levy. the Richmond Health Depart
ment will keep the public posted as
TO their number and location. In order
to do this the immediate reporting of
every case by the physician in at
tendance is Of the utmost Importance"
DR. Levy is now notifying every
physician in Richmond that. in view OF
the damage which IAN be done by a
Single unreported case, the department
expects all practitioners 20 report each
ease discovered, or every suspected
case, without delay. So important is
this. in DR.. Levys opinion, that any
physician who fails to comply with the
law in this respect will lie promptly
reported to the police and the case
against him vigorously prosecuted in
Police Court.
So far as the Health Dcpa rtmcnt is
aware there is not case OF the dread
malady in Richmond, nor has there
been ono for many years. However, in
view of the widespread cost of life due
to il in New York and other Northern
and Eastern cities, DIR. Levy will leave
no stone unturned to keep down the
disease in it's incipiency, should il de-
vciop.
LEVY ISSUES SERIES
OF rnECA
In the way OF precautions, pr. Levy
suggested the following measures as
the most important:
/. With the danger of an epidemic,
every child showing any symptom OF
illness whatsoever should he promptly
put in n room by itself, and doctor
sent for at once No visitors should
he allowed until the doctor is positive
| that he is not dealing with case of
| infantile paralysis.
| .. The bringing together of children
| for any purpose should be avoided.
some of these children may be de-
| vcloping the disease may he car
| ricrs and thus infect large number
| Of others.
3 No mother should allow her baby
| to hc taken out except by person
| in whom she has complete confidence
| that the baby will not be brought in
! close contact with any one. y special
danger is that children, especially
| girls naturally crowd around a baby
| when it is resting in its carriage and
even handle and kiss it, Nothing could
he more dangerous than this at such
| times.
8 Everything tending to improve tho
! general health should he done on gen
! "ral principles. but. unfortunately. in
fantile paralysis attacks the robust
| child as we'll as the weakling. Never
thcless. keeping up the general health
IS always desirable.
:. Special attention should he paid to

GOmpers Misrepresentation
There Is developing Il serious question
among labor leaders as to whether
Samuel Gompers has not betrayed
labor and the Federation of which
he Is the head by advocating the Ad-
amson bill and supporting President
Wilson because of il. In November,
1919, the American Federation OF
Labor adopted the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved. That the American
Federation of Labor, as in the past.
declares that the regulation OF
wages and hours of labor should be
undertaken through trades union
activity and not by legislation. ex-
cept insofar as the enjoyment OF
women and children. health and
morals, and the employees OF the ma
tional, state and municipal govern
ments are affected"
This same resolution was. ap-
proved again in November. 1915.
How Mr. Gompers can reconcile his
present attitude with that resolution
stands unexplained. The result which
the Federation wisely foresaw is
rapidly approaching. Railway man
ayers are already asserting that BY
the Hepburn bill Congress has fixed
the rates which the railways may
charge; that by the La Toilette bill
providing a maximum OF sixteen
hours) Congress has fixed hours OF
labor; that by the Adamson bill Con-
gress has fixed the wages Of twenty
per cent of the railway employees;
and that it remains only for Con-
gress to fix the compensation of tho
remaining eighty per cent and then
by law to prohibit strikes, and all
labor controversies on common car
riers will be forestalled for all time.
As one labor leader warns his fellow
unionists, DO you want your or
Eganization to become simply an in
surance association, and have your
hours, wages and grievances dis.
posed of by legislation? That is just
what the Adamson law means"
George AIDES Position.-George

gresslve, but best known as the au-
thor Of Fables in Slang" has an

tended the opening session of the tif-
ty-hrst annual meeting of the Baptist
Democratic politicians had worn a
path to the White House telling him
what he had better say II he wanted
to be reelected. The Democrats said
in 1912 that they would reduce the
cost of living. All necessities and
staples are now higher than ever be-
fore. We do not blame the Demo-
Gratis for high prices. We do blame
them for continually making lido
promises. For instance, how about
their definite promise TO enforce
economy and trim down appropria-
tlons? They have been in the pork
barrel up to their elbows
