BOARD OF HEALTH WARNING.
Precautions Recomll ,nded for Proven
ton of Infartile Paralysis - Most
Prevalent in September.

The state GARD OF health has sent out
warnings with regard to iniantile paraly-
sis, to be posted in conspicuous places
They read as follows:
Advice to parents and those in charge
of children:
Infantle paralysis is an infectious and
communicable disease. The ways in which
the infection is transmitted from one per-
son to another are not known. The virus
that causes the disease is found in the mu
Gus of the noses and throats-not only of
known cases, but likewise of those who
have had the disease in so mild form as
to be unrecognzed and still others who
have been in association with cases but
are not themselves sick. These latter are
known as "abortve" cases, and carriers"
respectively Human beings are the dis
tributors of the disease. Large gatherings
in public places especially indoors, offer
the best opportunity for the general spread
of this disease.
The disease has hitherto been most
prevalent in Vermont in September. So,
while we have very few cases, so far as
known, in the state at the present time,
the situation with reference to the disease
in all the neighboring states calls for GER
the public in our state, and especially on
the part of all who have the care of chill
dren
Precautions Recommended.
l. Children, under Is years of age,
should be kept from all kinds of public
gatherings, both indoors and out
? such children should be kept in the
open air, and under good hygienic condi-
tons, as far as possible. In villages and
cities, ones own premises are safest; in
the country, the fields and woods offer
the best recreation ground. The dust of
highways and village streets should be
avoided
3. Plain country fare milk, fresh
eggs. vegetables and fresh meats with
careful attention to digestion, is impor-
tant.
1. A daily bath should be given all chill
dren.
5. Public ice cream or soda water
stands should be avoided
6. Kissing should be forbidden.
:, lrrigate the childrens noses and
threats once each day with a solution of
table salt tone teaspoonfuD in warm
water tone pint).
3. Any disturbance of the digestion,
nausea, diarrhca or constipation, or any
sore throat or cold, attended with fever
should be investigated by the family doe
tor. Such symptoms often mark the I'M
tial stage of nfantie paralysis No
tebrile symptoms in a young child are so
trivial as to be ignored.
g. Separate any child so aling, at once,
from other children in the family, and
from all children; give a dose of castor
oil and send for the doctor.
BY observing such precautions, espe
cially at this time, you may protect your
child from this widespread infection, and
do much to prevent an outbreak in our
state.

With Our Boys on the Border.

All will be interested in reading the
following received by the correspond
ent from one of our boys at Eagle Pass:
"Things are pretty quiet here now.
Last Thursday night our company was
down guarding the railroad bridge be-
tween Texas and Mexico. 1t is about
two miles down the river from our
camp. We had orders to allow no one
to pass, and also had our guns loaded.
1t was a little rainy to start in with
but it cleared off and we all enjoyed
it very much. There is a bomb factory
Just across the bridge which is running
dav and night. We could see the Mexi-
can soldiers guarding the bridge on the
other side. At six clock Friday night
we were relieved by Company f, 4th
Maryland Saturday we went on an IS
or 90 mile hike, heavy marching order.
We went out in the morning and got
back to camp at D O'Clock that night.
At noon we pitched our pup-tents, had
luncheon and rested about three hours.
Coming home we crossed pOntoon
bridge that the engineering corps had
built across the Del Rio river while
we werc gone. The line of troops was
about two miles long. We all stood it
pretty well but were some tired that
night. This morning we went on an
eight mile hike, we did not mind that
much. Our chaplain, Rev. Mr.. Thomas,
left Sunday for Vermont. We shall all
miss him. He did a great deal for the
boys. It is still pretty hot here days
but the nights are cooler. Our new
tents are larger than the old ones. We
have things fixed up pretty good; are
having some rains that. make it bad as
it is always muddy after a rain.

NEAR-BATTLE in HAITI
CALLED OFF BY THEFT
Rebel "Beat 1t" With Mems
Pay-U. S. Marines Escaped,
Colonel Waller Says

Fifteen hundred Haitian soldiers were
about to attack several United States
marines when the commander of the
enemy soldiers ran away with their pay
and the battle was off. That commercial
ism stands higher than patriotism among
the rebels was evident for the reason that
they turned on their heels when within
100 yards of Uncle Sams headquarters
and chased the absconding general
He was captured by soldiers under the
direction of Colonel l.. w, T. Waller
commandant of the United States Marine
Corps at Haiti
Colonel Waller arrived at the Phladel-
phia Navy Yard this afternoon from
Haiti. The cruiser Tennessee brought
him to Old Point Comfort He made the
rest of the journey by train. When
pressed for details about conditions in
Haiti the Colonel told of the "near-battle"
between the United States Marines and
rebels, and said that, despite the many
revolutions, Haiti is now in progressive
state of mind
On September 4 last, Colonel Waller
said, there were nine persons in Ouanan-
inthe and the population is now 5000.
Ridled and burned buildings have been
repaired and coffee and sugar mills are
working full time. If given Il chance
under the United States flag Colonel Wal
Ter said, Haiti could become one of the
beauty spots Of the world.
The Colonel was accompanied north by
Captain William II. Barker, of the I'd
Regiment United States Marine Corps
