issued bulletin calling on the
people Of Mississippi to take every
precaution where infantile paraly-
sis has existed TO keep down il
spread with the opening of schools.
The warning rs issued by DIR.
Leathers follows:
IL is timely tO issue word Of
warning to the various school
communities. towns ami cities OF
Mississippi relative 10 infantile
paralysis. With the opening of
school, there T. danger Of the
spread of this disease in Missis-
sippi unless every precaution Is
taken N is prevention and treat
ment Since January hrst. one
hundred and eighty-Six cases OF
this disease have been reported 70
the State Beard Of Health. Over
one-half Of these have occurred
during the months of June and
July. These cases have been re-
ported from a. many as fifty
counties in the State.
The germs of this disease may
be spread by the nose and throat
secretiOns, and bowel discharges
of the patients and convalescents.
1t may also be spread by we'll
persons who become carriers by
association with patients. The
carrier is perhaps one of the most
common causes OF the occuranee
and spread of this infection.
Since the disease is insidious in
its spread, and occurs in the most
unexpected places. eternal vigil
ance should be the watch-word
throughout the entire State at the
opening of school.
The following preventive meas
ures should be observed:
The proper reporting of all
cases of suspected cases is i'm
perative.
The isolation of patient in a,
screened room during acute synpi
toms and while eonvalescing.,
Quarantine must be rigidly en-
forced.
Collection of the datient's nose,
throat and mouth discharges on
cloths. which should be burned at
once.
Distinction of bowel and body
discharges, Is. likewise essential
before being put into sewer or
cess-pool.
Where no sewer or cess-pool
exists, these discharges should be
disinfected and afterwards burned.
All articles exposed to possible
infection from these discharges
must be cleaned and disinfected.
Persons who have been exposed
to the disease should be kept under
observation two weeks, and after
such exposure they must not at
tend any public or private gather
ing during this time. This means
that they should by no means at
tend school.
Dogs, cats and other domestic
pets must be kept out of the house
where infantile paralysis exists.
Every precaution should be
taken relative to those cases which
have occurred during the past few
month in preventing their associa-
ton with the healthy children IN
school, unless sufficient time has
elapsed to avoid any possibility of
infection of other children. This
should be at least six weeks.
The prevention and spread of
this disease with the opening of
the schools throughout the State.
will depend upon a hearty CO
operation between tue laits and
physicians with State aud county
health officers.

THE DANGER POINT.


r 7 BECOMES more and more apparent that the traction strike,
which has utterly failed to "paralyze the city's transit lines" is
= settling into a sullen, desperate struggle on the part Of union
leaders to preserve their own prestige and that Of their organization.
The Interborough strike proved a fzzle. Subway and elevated
services have been scarcely interrupted. Indeed these two systems
have even managed 10 run extra trains to handle the overflow from
lcss prepared surface lines. Organization leaders are now hard at work
trying to force strikes on the Third Avenue line and on the trolley
lines Of the Bronx, Queens and Richmond in a last effort to demon
strste at least some part of the strength they boosted.
Now comes the dangerous hour. From the point Of view Of
public order, a successful strike is often less troublesome than a half
defeated one. The more rabid element among the traction strikers
ceald far better stand the spectacle Of a thorough tie-up, with the
public founderng, than to see new men in their Jobs and service
going on as usual. In the latter case the hotheads are sure to
camor for more forceful methods. There is no way Of closing the
saloons to such as prefer hem for debating grounds. Wrongs look
bigger and resentment grows, until violence appears to be the one
hope Of producing quick results.
So far disorder has not been serious. 1t should not become so.
s~ponsiblity rests upon the strike leaders to keep the men to peaceful
and lawful methods.
The public has not taken sides against the traction EMPLOYEES
in the present fight. 1t knows the financial and managerial policies
Of the city's transit corpo atoms too well to trust wholly TO their
statements of the case. 1t believes in a thorough inquiry into all mat.
tiers in dispute.
But it also most emphaticaly holds that an adjustment of all
difficulties ought to have been made without blows directed at its
business and must be made without violation of its peace n safety.
The latter point particularly is one for union leaders and strikers
to keep constantly before rhem unless they wish to have the pbG
lose all interest in their claims and deal with them only through
the police.
