Eighty Cases in New Rochelle.

About eighty cases have developed
in New Rochelle and about forty in
Yonkers. Two persons died Of the
plague in Yonkers yesterday. One OF
them was John Stuart, twenty-five
years old, chauffeur for w. B. Thomp-
son, of 1861 North Broadway. The
other death was that Of two-year-old
son of George Tice, of 81 Saratoga
Avenue
The health authorities Of Nassau
County received reports yesterday Of
nine new cases-three in Oyster Bay,
two each in Lawrence and Port Wash
ington and one each in Brookville and
East Norwich. The reports are be-
lieved to be incomplete, as the health
Offices closed Saturday at noon, and
the official report will not be available
until to-day. The quarantine through
out the county was enforced with UNI
usual strictness yesterday, many spe-
cial officers being stationed at various
points to prevent children entering
on trolley cars, in automobiles or other
conveyances. The authorities are re-
ceiving many complaints that business
is being injured by the rigid quaran-
tine, but il was said that il would be
continued until the disease was
stamped out, despite the protests.
The boards of Health and Education
OF Bloomfield, n. j., decided yesterday
to postpone the opening of the public
schools from September 5 to October
2 owing to the paralysis epidemic. I'm
less the spread of the disease is
checked by that time further post
ponement is likely.

CHILDREN AND ADvERTTSTNG.
1.-THE Burlington Hawkeye.1
Does the average retail merchant In
towns like Burlington devote as much
OF his advertising space exclusively TO
the children as he should? He GER
tainly does not He forgets that the
newspaper is as much of part Of the
day to the boy and girl as 1t is to
their parents. and that they scan its
columns with the eagerness OF their
elders. His mind does not bark back
to the days when he was a boy and
pored over the attractive premium list
of the Youths Companion and kindred
periodicals. and devoured page after
page Of alluring cataioss, when he
ought to have been studying his arish-
metic lesson.
The writer knows of a little girl on
North Hin who got hold OF catalog
of 3 Chicago mail order house recently
and found therein q picture of a bicycle
and an enhancing description OF II
She happens to be in the market for a
bicycle, and happens to have the ready
cash, saved for that purpose out OF

know that their daughter could do as

here instead of Chicago. But do You
think they can talk her ont OF her Chi
cago venture? Not by a big majority

and that bicycle that she saw adrer-'
tised looks better to her than any
other bicycle in the world. Had

ouaintance where she got it and VIII

This incident is not pertinent TO
bicycle dealers alone. 7. Is addressed
TO all merchants who cater 10 the chill
dren. Pay more advertising attention
to them and they will pay more atten-
ton to what you have TO sell and what
they want to buy.
