Mahlon NJ. Garland is a new CON
gressman-at-large from Pennsyl-
vania-but that is the very least
of his claims upon our attention.
The thing about Garland is this: He
is the first man in history. so far
as one can recall offhand, 10 start
an active campaign for the office
Of vice president of the United
States. The comic weeklies have
cracked many a joke based upon
the supposed difficulty of finding a
man who regards the vice presi-
dency as personally desira BILE. Nah
lon Garland does not look at il in
that light He thinks the Job Of
e-president is one worthy Of the
best tim Der the land affords For
that reason he himself is willing TO
accept the place. In his campaign
circulars which have been extern
sively mailed about. one finds this
neat little tribute:
Hon Mahlon NJ Garland is a
candidate for the republican nomi-
nation for vice-president Of the
United States for the reason that
his personal friends in every state
in the Union regard him as the
ideal man for that distinguished
office at this time
Mahlon's circular also goes on 10
say:
His wise leadership. his excel
lent Judgment and party loyalty are
traits which have distinguished his
long and useful public career"

INFANTILE PARALYSIS II
SCHOOLS.

1t is timely to issue word o.
warning to the various school COM
munities, towns and cities of Mis-
sissippi relative to infantile paraly.
sis. With the opening of school.
there is danger of the spread of
this disease in Mississippi unless
eveay ptecaution is taken in its
prevention and treatment. Since
Ian. 1st, 1876 cases of this disease
have been reported to the state
board of health. Over one half OF
these have occurred during the
months of June and July. These
cases have been reported from as
fifty counties III the state.
The germ of this disease may be
spread by the nose and throat SCI
cretions, aed bowel discharges of
the patients and convalescents. 1t
may also be spread by we'll persons
who become carriers" by asse-
ciatlon with patients. The carrier
is prehaps one of the most common
cause sf the occurrence and spread
of this infection.
Since the disease is insidious In
in its spread, and occurs in the
most unexpected places, eternal
yieilence should be the watch-word
throug bout the entire state at the
opening of school. The following
preventive measures should be OBJ
served:
The proper reporting of all cases
or suspected cases is imperative.
The isolation of patient in q
screened room during acute symp-
toms and while convalescing, Quar-
antine must be riaidlv enforced.
Collection of the patients nose
throat and mouth discharges on
cloths, which she uld be burned at
snce.
Disinfection of bowel and body
discharges. is likewise essential
before being put iuto sewer or cess
pool,
Where no sewer or cess-pool ex
lists these discharges should be dis
infected, and afterwards burned
! All articles to possible infectisi
from these discharges must be
cleaned and disinfected.
Persons who lave been exposed
to the disease should be kept un-
der observotion two weeks, ano
after srch exposure they must mol
attend any public or private gath
eriug during this time. This means
that they should not by no mems
a tend school.
Dogs cats and other domestic pets
| must be kept out of the house where
! tiufantile paralysis exists.
Every precaution should be tax
en relative to those cases which
have occurred during the past few
months in preventing their associa-
ton with the healthy children in
school, unless a sufficient time has
elapsed 10 avoid any possiblbllity
/ of infectiod of other children.
This should he at least six weeks.
The prev ntion and spread OF
{ this disease with the opening OF
the schools throughout the state

An attempt to take away the free
food led to threat among the strike
breakers to quit and join the union.
The Edwards plant is being used
to furnish the allies with ammuni-
ton, although it is masked by the til
tie Edwards Valve and Manufacture
ing Co."
In a fight between the police,
strikers and armed guards on street
of East Chicago few weeks ago a
strikebreaker sent by the Soule De-
tective Agency was killed and six
strikebreakers and policemen were
shot. No strikers were injured and
no guns were found among the union
men after the battle. They were ex-
onerated from blame by the chief of
police of the city.
The battle occurred when the mu-
milton firm tried to import some
armed strikebreakers into the plant.
They were stopped by the police, a
bunch of strikers gathered around
and riot followed.
The chief of police and mayor of
the city warned the firm that any
armed strikebreakers brought into
the city would be jailed.

that of the Edwards plant is con-
trolled by the Commonwealth Edison
Co. is the claim of man who was

A blind ad in the News which Of
fered good jobs with fine pay and
transportation for an out-of-town pe-
sition led the worker to the offices of
the Edwards company.
He was sent to the munition plant
at E. Chicago. When he found there
was strike on he left the place.
Among the employees it is common
gossip that the Edwards plant is
controlled by the same people who
own the Commonwealth Edison Co.
A fellow worker told the newcomer
that he had worked with the Edison
Company and was transferred to
East Chicago when the strike broke.
'How did you happen to be sent
here?" he asked the speaker.
ooh, this plant and the Edison
company are owned by the same
bunch. They just transferred me

told.
Soft hours, big money and swell
