of Disease

TO CLEAN. UP

No cases OF infantile paralysis have
been reported to the State Board Of
Health. 1t is declared by DR.. A. f.
Frantz. secretary of the State Board
Of Health, although stringent precau-
fions should be taken against the ap-
pearhnce Of this malady in this State
particularly in regard TO cleanliness.
DR.. Frantz said that he had not heard
of the suspected case at Seaford
One Of the precautions to prevent
the appearance of infantile paralysis
DR.. Frantz says, is absolute cleanl-
ness. There should be a general
cleaning up OF filthy places and a
rigid gathering Of all garbage Flies
are regarded as prolific carriers OF the
disease, he says, and all breeding
places for these vermin should be
cleaned up. Living conditions for
children should be kept as clean as
possible. he says, and their health
should be looked after carefully.
Doctor Frantz called attention "a
various complaints he had heard OF
poor collections Of garbage here and
declared this should be remedied in
The interests Of health.

Their inspection was at the instance
Of the Washington State Department

Allies that it was improper to harbor
the ship as a merchantmen.
The time Of the Deutschland's de-

In this connection, the story went
that England may send over some
motor patrols and some of her big
ocean nets to entangle the Deutsch-

it, too, that British cruisers are al
ready concentrating beyond the three
