Prevention of Infantile Paralysis

DIR. j. Y. Porter, State Health
Officer, earnestly recommends that
every citizen read the following
bulletin, which was prepared by
the United States Public Health
Service.
To control the present epidem-,
ic of infantile paralysis according
to a statement issued by the u
nited States Public Health Ser
vice today, the chain of infection
between persons harboring germs
of the disease and the well MEM
bers of the community should be
broken. Infantile paralysis is
probably caused by a very minute
organism found in the nasal,
mouth and bowel discharges of
these who have the disease or
who are carriers of the germ with
out themselves suffering from the
ailment. All of the steps in the
spread of the infection are not
known but if this germ can be
prevented from passing from the
to the well person, the
disease will cease.
Infantile paralysis is not a dis
case of recent origin. Sporadic or
scattered cases have occurred
throughout the country for many
years but it is only during the last
decade that the infection has as
sumed epidemic proportions in
the United States. The present
epidemic in New York City, on ac-
count Of its magnitude and viru-
lence, has awakened the residents
of many communities to the dam
ger of the importation of the dis
ease into their own midst. The
danger is real, but if due precau-
tions are exercised it is believed
that the epidemic will subside.

Mr.. Knott Statement

Hon. w. V. Knott, who is con
testing the nomination for COVER
nor of Rev. Sidney J. Cats, has
sent to the press a detailed state
ment Of his reasons for making
the contest, together with a sum-
mary of the results ascertained up
to last week, The statement is too
long for The Herald s limited
space, but the following condens-
ed statement contains all the sa-
lient points and it should be read
by every Democratic voter:
My several suits to determine
the result of the primary are amp
ly justified upon the following
grounds:
l. Out of a total of more than
$4,000 votes cast for governor,
Mr. Cats led me on the face of
the returns by only 260 votes,
many Of these returns being adj
mittedly incomplete or incorrect.

Respectfully,
W. V. Knott.

Sidney j. Cats, whom some
misguided persons contend should

constitution of Florida to hold, the

Star, which declares: He is
disqualified by section ) of the
Declaration of Rights as follows:
"The free exercise and enjoy

opinions, but the liberty of con-
science hereby secured shall not
be so construed as to justify licen-

ENGLAND HOUSED
 BY DESTROYERS' { CHANNEL ATTACK

London, Oct. 28.-Some of the morn ing newspapers, commenting upon the attempt by ten German torpedo boat destroyers to raid the British trans port service in the English Channel Thursday night, point out that it was bold and daring stroke, and declare that the activity of the German de- stroyers will not be allowed to impede the operation of the British transports across the channel.
 The Times naval expert says:
 "The boldness and daring. of the stroke must be acknowledged, and it is to be wished that they had been made to pay more heavily for their audacity. The fact that such a raid could be for an extended use of, mines"
 The Daily Mail comments: s
 "The Germans seem to have scored on points and we cannot confess to be satisfied with the result.'
 The Chronicle declares:
 "Our efforts to destroy the base at Zeebrugge evidently have not been completely successfulI With regard to the Germans channel raid it may be observed that they failed to obtain any real success. Provision cannot be made for every eventuality in war We may be sure the German destroy CTS activity will not be allowed to i'm pede our vast transport operations"
 "This new development does not threaten any serious change in the sit- uation in the channel,' says the Daily News Whatever damage the enemy can do by methods like this will be

St. Louis, Oct. 2S.-Dr. John How ard Melish, of the Church of Holy Trinity, Brooklyn, who is here attend ing the Episcopal convention, issued a signed statement to-day announcing his support of President Wilson. He is one of the noted pulpit orators of the country and an outspokep inde- pendent. He was an active worker in civic advancement in. Ohio before going to New York.
 T am for the reelection of Presi- dent Wilson, said Dr. Melish. He has kept us out of a second Boer war in Mexico. He has maintained our neutrality in the world conflict ana at the same time has upheld Interna- tional law. The sober second thought of Europe. on both sides of the con fict, endorses Wilson, and recognizes him as a. great leader and friend to whom they can turn when the hour strikes. Also President Wilson has given us a financial system which, for the first time in our history, strong hold of consolidated money. A man of moral character, trained intelli- gence and Democratic sympathy he has met successfully the trying issues at home and abroad and deserves at our hands the return to honor and service"

"SAvE vE-THE-bAbY' CAMP A|CN TO BE. CONTINUED A DAY
Reports Are Expected From Some of the Factories
 This Afternoon.

Mrs. D. H. Warner, chairman Of the general committe, announced at luncheon to the workers in The Strat- field this/ noon that the "Save-the- Baby" campaign will be continued Monday. The announcement met with the heartiest approval of the workers, many of whom wanted an extra day in which to complete their campaign.
 In making the announcement, Mrs. Warner said: 'The general committee is greatly impressed by the noble way in which Bridgeport has responded to our appeal The results of the cam paign has shown that we were not one whit mistaken in our belief that every Bridgeporter wants to do his share in giving the baby that chance that rightfully belongs to it.
 We have been fortunate in num- bering in our ranks as active workers interested and enthusiastic persons re- presenting all walks of life in our city. They have done a noble work for. noble cause, and the thanks of the community as well as the thanks of the general committee are due them.'
 Mrs. Warner explained that several factories have not reported as yet, due to the fact that in many plants Sat urday is the day on which the contri- buttons were to be made. The Sun- day schools and the public schools will not have their final reports ready un- til Monday, she added, and for that reaso it was deemed advisable to con- tinue the campaign. This will give every worker a chance to put in an- other day and should mean much to the fund.
 A corps of visiting nurses, who have done most efficient work in the cam paign, last night canvassed number of the theatres and today will com- plete tour of the playhouses of the city. They report a most generous re- sponse, from the theatre-goers.
 Mrs. E. w. Downs, treasurer, yes terday received a check for $25 from the Bridgeport Liquor Dealers asso- citation, accompanied by a message en- dorsing the campaign.
 There is little doubt now that the final reports will see the total collec- tions above :$10,000 the amount set as a goal when the campaign opened
 The charities that will benefit by the campaign are the Day Nursery, Visiting Nurse Association, the Ortho- pedic Clinic and the Girls club.

'LA LIBRE BELGIQUE"

To offer $10,000 reward for the ad- dress of a newspaper printing plant, and similar am mount for the identi- fication of an editor, seems a strange proceeding, but that is what the Ger man officials in Brussels are ready and anxious to give for the discovery of the plant and publisher of La Libre Belgique.' 1t was early in 1915 that this mysterious sheet began to appear, and ever since it has been circulated almost every week among the people of the Belgian capital. By whom and from where it is printed and published the best secret agents of the German government have been unable to dis cover. Nearly a hundred weekly is sues have now appeared, and, at last reports. the Teutons were no nearer the solution of the mystery than they were when the troublesome sheet made its initial bow. The editor has announced that his printing plant is located in "self moving cellar and
 the German authorities are beginning to believe that this is more than a jest, for every known printing plant in Belgium is closely guarded and its product censored. Brussels is the fa- vorite location of this cellar" seem ingly,I but at times La Libre Belgique" appears with Liege, Ant werp or Louvain date line While constantly criticising the Germans, government, and all their ways, La Libre Belgique" is not a 4irebrand
 sheet, for the editor persistenly urges
 his readers to remain calm, to still their feelings of legitimate anger" to respect the laws of war and abstain
 from actions that would "expose inno- cents to terrible reprisals," and to await the day when the Teutons shall be forced to abandon Belgium. It is perhaps the satirical jibes at the Ger man officials which make the paper so objectionable to Belgium's masters, and so desirous of finding and punish ing the daring editor who has, for nearly two years fouted and scorned the edicts of Belgium's new rulers

"THE CHORUS LADY"

It will be Al years tomorrow since Rose Stohl made her stage debut, if we accept the dictum that "alI the worlds a stage.'' That particular part of the world which Miss StGhl first honored with her presence was the city of Montreal-a very excellent choice for so young a person, since Canada has ever been an excellent country for those aspiring to Thespian laurels to be born in. Miss Stahl was educated in a Montreal convent-and. incidentally, it is remarkable how many of the stage celebrities have been convent bred.
 Throughout her convent days Miss Stahl nourished the ambition to be- come an actress, preferably a great actress, and after much persuasion she induced her father to aid her in securing an opportunity to display her theatrical ability. That gentleman, Col. Ernest c. Stahl, well known newspaper man of Trenton. N. J., used his influence to obtain for his daugh- ter an engagement with Charles Frohman. She made her first ap- pearance on, the professional stage when she was IT. She did not set the theatrical world on fire by the bril- liance of her genius. For time she played in stock companies in Phila- delphia, Columbus and Rochester, and later starred as Janice Meredith.
 It was as. "The Chorus Lady, that Miss Stahl attained to international fame. Originally 1t was a vaudeville sketch, written by James Forbes. Miss Stahl had to give her services gratis in order to obtain tryout in the role. Even when the sketch and the star scored a big hit she received only $35O a week, and out of that trifiing sum she had to pay her company and expenses. Three years later she was offered $2,506 per week, and more re- gently $5,0 900 a week to appear in the same vaudeville sketch,
 Miss Stahl took ''The Chorus Lady" on a tour of the vaudeville theatres of America and the "'alls of England. Ten years ago the little piece was elaborated into a four-act play, and, after successful runs in New York and Chicago, it was equally popular on the road.
 Other plays made for Miss Stahl have not been as we'll suited to her gifts and mannerisms, and it is as 'The Chorus Lady" that she will all ways be remembered.
