WARNING TO STABLE OWNERS Barns Must Be Kept Clean, Ultima
 tum of Board Of Health.

That the board of health is deter mined to be obeyed by owners of stables about the city is evidenced by the latest ukase issued. Unless owners comply immediately, when ordered to cart away the refuse and manure, prosecutions will follow Careful investigation has shown that manure piles are the best places for breeding the fly and according to the authorities, each pile should be re- moved every seven days. The board will have a map made showing the location of each barn in the city and black and white pins will mark on the map whether the order is lived up to or not.
 Cesspools and outh ouses will also be marked and similar action will be taken unless they are kept clean and free from breeding places for the pesky fly.

PREPARE YE NOW
 FOR CH|CLE7 DELUGE
Gum Salesmen to Descend Upon
 Prosperous New England

From Bangor, Maine, to Burlington, Vermont and the Long Island sound to the White Mountains the chewing gum man is rampant. He has settled down on all of New England like a deluge. His ugar-coated oratory fills us with delight and the perfume of his mint-laden personality per- meates the air.
 He has a line of Chiclet Chatter which is calculated to put a stop to all the war talk and clear up the Mexican situation over night. His l. ultimate mission is to drive indiges- ton and dyspepsia into the Atlantic ocean.
 Before the American Chicle Co.,, the larest chewing gum producing combination in the world, turned him loose upon New England, 64 strong, the chewing gum man was schooled in the highest branches of the art of gum selling. His classroom was the Metropolitan Life tower, under the big clock of historic Madison Square, New York, where are located the executive office of Americas fa- nous chewing gum kings.
 For months he was drilled for this drive upon New England. There is
 
 yates and the orders from headquar- ters are not to return until they have planned 150.000,0O0 chiciets between the Hudson valley and the Canadian frontier.
 In the course of this mammoth campaign the chewing gum man will hammer in the new trade mark ot the American Chicle Co.,, which was recently reorganized by Darwin R. James, Jr., of New York, one of the best known of the younger generals of modern American merchandising.
 The sixty-four salesmen who are now scattering the massage of Chic lets throughout New England expect to effect complete distribution among the retailers within five or six weeks. Although the American Chicle Co.,, manufactures nearly one hundred famous brands of chewing gum this campaign is concentrated upon Chiclets, the candy-coated gum.

WeH Known Remedy
 Relieves Chronic Case
Important to Dispose of Waste From the Stomach With
 Regularity.

People frequently attribute to fail- ure of the digestive organs conditions that are primarily due to inactive bowels, and apply remedies that from their very nature are more apt to ag- gravate than to relieve the disorder.
 When the bowels act regularly the stomach is in better shape to per- form it's allotted tasks and can usually be depended upon. To keep the bowels in condition there is no more effective remedy than the combination of simple laxative herbs known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsih which is sold in drug stores for fifty cents a bottle.
 pr. Caldwell has prescribed this remedy in his practice for over a quarter of a century and it is today tte standard household remedy in thousands of homes. MT. Thos. De- Loach, with the Department of the Interior Office of Indian Affairs, at Washington, wrote pr. Caldwell re- gently that Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pcpsin is the best laxative I have any knowledge of and the cleaning

BATTERED BY SEA
 FOR FIVE MONTHS
Bark Blown From Newfoundland
 to the West Indies

Boston, May 23.-For the greater part of five months the big Italian bark Luigia, which was lowed into port yesterday, was the plaything of the elements, and although she was within 1S0 miles of this port on Feb. 2S, since that time she has been blown north to Newfoundland and then south to the West Indies.
 The bark was badly damaged and for a time those on board feared that if the fierce gales did not cause the vessel to sink, they would meet more tragic death from starvation.

Swept Off Course.

It was on Dec that the bark sailed from Frey Bentos, a port on the River Platte in Uruguay, with car go of fertilizer for Boston. The early part of the passage was marked by fair weather, which soon changed to head winds and high seas. Despite the unfavorable conditions the old square-rigger fought her way through the Atlantic toward Boston. On Feb 28 the bark was 1SO miles outside of Boston Light. Then a fierce hurricane swept the vessel off it's course and blew it in a northerly direction until almost off the coast of Newfoundland.
 Once more Captain Marchese head ed for Boston, only to meet with a second fierce storm. This time his vessel was blown south and held firm in the grasp of the tempest un- til off the West Indies. Then the ship lay a week in a fearful tropical calm.
 Food Nearly Gone.
 The food supply was nearly exhaust ed and the commander and crew of sixteen feared for several days that they would die for the want of food and fresh water.
 third terrific storm drove the helpless vessel before it. This time luck favored the Luigia's crew, for they were left near the Barbadoes, and Captain Marchese put into port there on April 21, for much needed food.
 We could not have held out much longer the captain told 8 reporter yesterday, in describing the terrors of his trip.
 The pounding of the seas against the vessel stove in her main and for ward matches, and swept away part of her deck fittings. Much of her rig ging was damaged, too. The captain fears that some of the cargo may have been damaged by water. Her cargo consisted of 1S,32O bags of gu-

INFANTu.E PARALYSIS
What Anxious Mothers Should Know
-. About It
(Rv Dr. James r Wa1s

~
Infantile paralysis spreads through
the mouth and nose secretions. Infec-
tion for the disease probably takes
place through the nose and throat and
some Of the infectious material stays
in these parts during the course Of the
disease.
There is danger Of contagion from
affected patients for some eig ght weeks,
and quarantine must be observed for
that length of time.
Children at play in crowds from
their habits of touching things and per-
sons and frequently applying their
hands to their mouth and nose are par
ticularly likely to catch the disease.
1t may affect growing youths OF even
adults.
Flies undoubtedly transmit the dis
ease and at one time were thought l.,
be the princi pal carriers and dissemin-
ators of the contagion.
The germ Of the disease is not
known, but it is so small that it is be-
yond the power of the microscope and
passes through the pores of an unglazed
porcelain filter.
Cleanliness is an all-important feat
ure of precaution, but an extreme
minuteness of the micro-organs shows
how careful must be the cleansing to
be effective as safeguard.
The first symptom of the disease is
usually lassitude and unwillingness of
the child to play. A slight fever is
present, the appetite is impaired and
there may be vomiting. All these symp-
toms, however, occur at the beginning
Of nearly every one Of the children 3
diseases. &c
The specific symptom Of the afAic-
tion is some inability to use a limb or
limbs, not due to any injury. =
The most important immediate treat.
1nent is rest, for this prevents the
spread of the infection through the
spinal cord, in the delicate tissues of
which It can do4so much harm.
Sometimes the fever makes the child
so restless that careful, judicious medi-
cine treatment is required to obtain as
much rest as possible.
The presence of paralysis does not
mean that the affected limbs are to be
lamed. In most cases complete or
nearly complete recovery takes place,
although prolonged convalescence may
ensue.
