InfantiIe Paralysis Near Hagerstown

InfantiIe Paralysis Near Hagerstown.
Infantile paralysis, that dread disease
which is now taking terrible toll of chill
dren in New York and other cities OF the
East, killing hundreds and leaving thou
sands of others hopeless cripples, has
made its appearance in Washington coun-
ty, Md. Little Helen Irene Guessford,
aged two and a-half years, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin L. GueSstord, living
along the western pike at Wilson's, near
Hagerstown, is the victim. The child
was taken suddenly i'll some days ago,
and Tuesday, when il was found that her
right leg was paralYzed, her sickness was
diagnosed as infantile paralysis. No one
has an idea how she contracted the dis
ease, as she has not been away from home
nor was there any visitor at the house
from any injected section.
DR.. q. w. Banks, health officer OF
Shepherdstowu, has received notice from
the health authorities OF Pennsylvania
that no person sixteen years old or under
will be permitted to enter that State unless
possessed OF certificate showing clean
bill OF health and proof that he or she has
not been in an infected locality. There
is TO be an excursion TO Conococheague
Island, near Harrisburg, on Sunday-an
annual event which takes great many
coored persons from this section-and it
is probable that many children may 60.
II they do they are are liable TO be placed
in quarantine in Pennsylvania and kept
there an indefinite length oftime. There
is talk of issuing an order preventing
children under sixteen years from going
on the excursion.
The Maryland health authorities yes
terday issued an order iorbidding chill
dren undertwelve years attending moving
picture shows or theatres, and other rigid
measures will be adopted with view
to preventing the spread OF the disease.

After the Short Measures.

o. L. Watson, county sealer OF weights
and measures, has been in Shepherdstown
this week examining scales, weights,
measures, etc., TO see if they conform to
he law. He finds here, as elsewhere in
the county, considerable deviation from
the true standard. In some cases scales
give under weight and then again they
will give more than is required, and the
same holds good OF measures OF various
sorts. Where weights and measures are
materially short they are confiscated, but
where they can be adjusted the owner
has the privilege OF making them conform
to the standard. Some manufacturers
seem to have deliberately put on the
market dishonest scales and measures,
and by the use OF these, either wilfully
or unintentionaIIy, great injustice has been
done purchasers. II is said that Mr..
Watson has couple OF wagon LOADS Of
short measures and crooked scales at the
courthouse in Charles Town. Persons
who use improper scales or measures
are subject to heavy fines, and fair warn
ing is given that the law must be complied

Pennsylvania were 7encamped along the
Potomac river at Knott's island, and they
found ]. S. Remnants store at Moler's
Cross Roads convenient place at which
to buy such supplies as they needed.
One of the men drove to Mr.. Remnants
store one evening in an automobile, and
after buying some groceries asked if he
could also get some gasoline for his car.
The obliging merchant told him that he
had five gallons on hand, and the stranger,
knowing that his supply was about ex-
hausted, had Mr.. Remnant put it in his
tank, saying that he would come on TO
town and fill up. He had gone only
short distance when the car began TO act
