IRISH STATESMAN

FEARLESS LEADER coNoEMNEU
FOR DARING TO INTERPRET
TRUE MEANING OF BRITISH
GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAMME

LONDON, July 2S.-Laurence Gin
nell. the famous Irish orator and
Nationalist leader in the House of
Commons. has been suspended from
service in the Commons. following a
fierce defiance or the British govern
ment programme and sentenced to pay
fine of $2,500 or serve six weeks
in Reading gaol He also is charged
with boldly attempting to enter the de,
tention campus where Sim Feiners.
convicted of taking part in the recent
Irish rebellion. are now confined.
Ginnell's great Grafton, delivered
furiously and in thunder tones, caused
tremendous sensation. His Irish
fighting spirit was fully aroused. He
roared and ragged like Danton of old in
the French Revolution, his eyes blaz-
ing with wrath, his gestures dramatic,
his booming voice reverberating in
periods OF classic beauty and unrivaled
power.
Ginnell concluded his fiery perora-
ton and fell back into the arms Of
waiting friends. The Tory members
then began the movement for his sus-
pension. II is probable that Ginnell
will refuse to pay the fine, accepting
the martyrdom which he regards as a
privilege and honor TO be sought.

voted to place waste paper cans IL
Rand park, in the hope that those
who have picnics there will place
their paper and other rubbish in the
cans instead of scattering them as Is
now the custom. One member OF the
league voiced the sentim ent of many
when she said that the park is a
hopelessly untidy place."
A request is to be made to the
police department to have the police
men who traverse Main street do
what they can to protect the drink
ing fountains from being tempered
with. Every year the fountains have
to be cleaned out and lost parts re-
placed and some of the fountains
have to be opened up several times
every season because of the spirit of
vandalism on the part of children, or
perhaps grown ups. A sanitary com.
mittee is to be named whose duty it
shall be to look after garbage condi-
tons. The garbage question has al
ways been an interest of the league
and rather discouraging interest,
too. The question of the years pro-,
gram was discussed and some tenta-
tive plans made. Miss Brown pre-
sided at the meeting and Miss Caro-.

There are a number Of conflicting

been continuous quarreling between
the young Watsons and the young In

A. FEW TIMELY HINTS
How to Avoid contagion Which IL
Sweeping Eastern States
Applies to In
fants.

DR.. H. Sumner, secretary Of the
state board of health, has given out
the following measures as a precau-
ton and preventative of the infantile
paralysis epidemic which has been
sweeping to the east of here:
PUT all patients in clean, bare,
well ventilated rooms screened to
keep out flies and other insects.
THE rest OF the family should be
kept at home as much as possible.
mo persons should be allowed to
enter the sick room except the doctor
and nurse.
Distinction should be thoroughly
carried out. For washing hands and
clothing add two teaspoonsful of car
bolic acid, 95 percent to one quart of
water.
When the nurse leaves the sick
room she should Immediately wash
and disinfect her hands. She also
should wear an overgarment and re-
move same on leaving the sick room.
All milk bottles received at the
house should be boiled before being
returned to the dairy.
THE remainder of the family
should take frequent baths and use
hydrogen peroxide, one teaspoonful to
glass of water as gargle and nose
spray.
"The house should be kept as free
from dust as possible by sprinkling
the floor before sweeping and by
using damp cloths for dusting
"All dogs, cats or other pets should
be kept out Of the sick room All in
stances Of acute paralysis in domes-
] tic animals about the house or the
farm should be carefully Investigated
and all such affected animals should
be promptly killed and the quarters
in which they we're kept carefully dis
infected.
Surrounding premises should be
sprinkled daily
! Patients should be kept isolated,
until the placard has been removed
and the house has been thoroughly
| fun gated.
1 1.-THE above instructions should be
! carried out not only for infantile or
spinal paralysis, but for contagious
and infectious diseases. The use of
|deodorants is useless and objection

Senator McCumber, of North Da-

campaign in his home state. He plead
ed that Hughes make one or two ad.

One Of the troubles which has devet-

of the fact that every member wants

unless Hughes or some other Dig
campaigner tills the ground in his
