CHECK CONTAG|ON,
 HEALTH BOARD SAYS
This Applies Alike to Parents,
 Teachers and Physicians

Tn the monthly report of the health department issued today, Superintcn- dent T. F.. Reeks calls special atten- tiOn to the need of better preventive measures in cases of contagious dis ease. This applies to parents, teach ITS and physicians and as a case in poiNt Dr. Reeks speaks of the present cpl dcmic of measles where the cases have reached nearly a thousand. He says if the first few cases had been properly isolated and the parents of the children had shown a desire to prevent the spread of the disease at least four lives might have been saved.
 This leading article in the health bulletin follows: Tt is but a few years ago that preventive medicine as a dream of the future, but today not only are thousands immune 10 certain diseases through preventive treatment, but the spread of conta- gious diseases may be positively checked if only doctors, nurses and parents would do their part in help ing to prevent.
 Measles An Example.
 'Fhe case in point is the present epidemic Of measles that has spread
 
 yet passed. It has given us a vivid exhibition not only of the need of better understanding of preventive measures on the part of many par ents, but of the lack of mutual CO., operation on the part of some directly or indirectly connected with the med ical profession. So long as some par ents continue to show such little re- gard for the welfare of other children by sending their own children to school when they know they arc not entirely recovered from measles and other diseases or are in contact with active cases, and so long as some doc tors fail to report the existence of contagious diseases, just so long will epdemics occur.
 If, in the present epidemic of measles, the first few cases had been properly isolated; had the parents or those in charge shown the desire to prevent the disease from spreading, at least four children might have been spared to parents who now mourn their loss.
 "It is not the children born, but the children saved, that counts.
 Parents. you owe it to the com munity to help prevent.
 Doctors, you owe it to the prog ress of the profession to help con trol and prevent"
 From March 31, 1915, to March 31, 1916, the following diseases were re- ported: Diphtheria, 103; scarlet fever, 14; typhoid fever, z: whooping cough, 75; mumps :; measles, 942; chicken pox, 60; tuberculosis, 121

CIVIL WAR VETERAN
 IS STRANDED HERE
Charles DingWell Formerly Resid-
 ed in This City

charity departments was directed this morning to Charles II. DingWeil Of Thomaston. an aged Civil war veteran who was stranded in this city. His case is a most pathetic one and the gray haired old soldier was accorded all the assistance possible, then sent back to his home town.
 Is EiGhty-four Years of Age.
 MT. Dingwel i< S4 years of age and looks to be much older. He is in somewhat strengthened circumstances but is proud and does not like t0 admit his Restitution. Bent almost double with years of hHrd WorK and weakened by wounds received durlnS the war, the old man. in his thread bare garments, his white hair and streaming white beard, tOtterinE along with the aid of a heavy crook ed stick he uses as a cain. presents a most pathetic appearance.
 M. J. Kenncy saw the old man standing helpless in the street this morning and went to his assistance. He told MT. Kenncy his sad tale and said he was trying to find the police station so he could rest.
 Wounded Three Times.
 Alr. DlngWcll story IS d StN oliF He was born in Thomaston and spent most of his life there. although nc did reside near the old south green in this city for ;t time. When the Civil war broke out Mr. DinGwen en- listed in Waterbury with Company k. eighth Connecticut Volunteers. He served thrOughout the war and took part in many engagements. He was wounded three times and was shot ;t the battles of Antietam. Frcderick"- burg and Gettysburg, receiving wounds in the head, the leg and side. At one of these battles a piece of steel from an exploding shell struck Mr. DingN-cll over the left eye and carried away d part of the frontal bone and today the old veteran can show the depression in his forehead caused by that wound.
 As the years rolled by Mr. Ding wells family died one by one until today he alone is left. old and feeble. he is unable to support himself and has been living at the Thomaston Town Home where the government pays for him.
 Loses Sight of His Eye.
 About three weeks ago Mir. Ding we'll was walking down Main street in this city Whon something blew of d roof and struck him in the right eye, impairing the sight so that he will be blind. He went 10 the Middle sex hospital in MiddletoWn and there they wanted to take the eye out, but he refused. The doctors were VeXcu, he said, and would not keep him any longer so he paid his bill and started home. In his weakened condition hC became d1zed and after going aS far as Bristol he wandered back to thiS city where he arrived last night and stopped at hotel until this mornings
 The old soldier, in speaking of the accident to his eye, says only wish it had killed me. Then I'd be out of my misery and I will anyway for I haven't much longer to stay here. I'm S4 years old nOW.'
