NO PATRIOTISM
IN CITY SAYS
ARMY OFFICER

Richmond is not doing her share
in the producing of recruits at this
time of danger said Lieutenant
Coppock when he inspected the local
recruiting station this afternoon.
There seems to be a woeful lack of
patriotism here. No flags are to be
seen on the streets and there have
been no demonstrations of any kind.
The efforts of Mr.. Comstock, how
ever, are to be complimented and It
gives assurance that there are at least
a few citizens here who can be relied
upon by the army If the worse comes
This is the only town in my district
which has failed to produce results

large public send-offs and young men
are being encouraged in every way to
join the ranks.
Richmond alone seems willing to
let the other people do the fighting"

There is less suffering among ba-

served IN a city Of this size,' said Lii
liam Mahin, city visiting health nurse.
Miss Mahin has been conducting q
baby welfare station at the White
water school, many mothers living
north Of the railroad having taken ad-
vantage of the school. The nurse said
today that only few babies that have
been brought to her have needed med
ical attention.
The cool weather has much to do
with the health of the children. she
said If hot, dry weather takes the
place Of the present comfortable tenn
perature, the nurse expects more re.
ports of unhealthy babies.

Moore complained that ever since

Hence parents must exercise the ut
most vigilance in attending to afflict-
ed children.
Flies often collect about the nose and
mouth of patients and feed on the Sc
cretions, later communicating healthy
persons and exposed food.
Protection to the public is best
safeguarded by isolation of the con-
taminated and by sanitary control Of
the persons who come into contact
with those who are ill., If the home
can not offer property sanitary fea-
lures, the child ought to be removed
to the hospital.
The degree of susceptibility Of child
rem to infantile paralysis is much low

es as measles, scarlet fever and dip
iberia.

is greater than usually spposed The
