New York, July Heath authorit-
les Of New York decided late to-
night to abandon for the present at
least plan agreed upon in the after
noon to appeal to the American Red
Cross for nurses to aid in stamping
out the scourge of infantile paralysis
in this city, which since June 1, has
caused 1916 deaths among children.
Health Commissioner Emerson said
he was now Of the opinion It would
not be necessary to ask for outside
aid as the hospitals Of this city have
agreed to extend their help more
freely.
The day was devoted by health All.

sicians Of the greater city to discus.
sion Of means by which the spread OF
the disease can be checked. Some en-
coungement was found in the fac,
that fewer new cases were reported
today than on Thursday and Wednes-
day. All the medical men agreed,
however, that only by unremitting
vigilance and the strict enforcement
Of every known sanitary precautioh
could the epidemic be kept within
bounds.
Prosecutions Threatened
DR.. Emerson declared that one of
the steps he had decided upon was
the prosecution Of physicians VINO

disease they have attended, Court
actions would be begun, he said,
wherever the necessary evidence
could be obtained.
Another serious phase OF the sitna'

Children's reading rooms In the pup

order barring children from moving

until conditions improve. Fairgrounds
IN various parts OF the city were or

The proposal for general quaran-

Emerson as impracticabie.

Mayesville, Feb. 24.-The recent
chautauqua held here was a great
success in every way. The attractions
furnished by the Radcliffe bureau of
Washington were all high-class and
instructive and were attended by good
audiences. It is hoped to arrange for
another chautauqua here again next
season and to make it a permanent
amusement feature. DR.. RAIDER, the
director, preached a splendid sermon
in the Presbyterian church on Sunday
and this service was one of the fea-
lures Of the course.
The farmers are all busy getting
ready for the spring planting and
most of the farms have been broken
up and put in general condition for
the crops. Very little fertilizer has
been hauled as yet and from all re-
ports. the supply will be exceedingly
small in this section. only the large
planters having bought any so far.
The lieners will probably have to do
without any at all in most cases.
There will probably be about the same
acreage planted in cotton as last year
and the same large acreage in
grains Wheat will no doubt be civ.
en- more attention this year than last.
The tobacco acreage will be consider
ably less from all reports as most of
the planters lost heavily on this crop

There was an unfortunate amount
OF typhoid last summer, cases re-
ported in all. The cause for all of
these was not known; three in one
family came from lack Of precaution
on the part Of neighbors and two
cases were negroes.
On the whole there has been less
sickness than usual. There has been
q decided decrease in pneumonia
cases. due no doubt to the extreme
care given the small children in the

Colitis Is on the decrease. Compared
with Its prevalence in better homes,
there has been little grippe among
