CHILDREN CAN'T
ATTEND FAIRS
DR.. Dixon Takes Steps to Pre-
vent Spread of Infantile
Paralysis

In an effort to prevent spread of in
fantile paralysis in the State, Com
missioner of Health Dixon asst night
directed that no children under six
teen be admitted to fairs. Letters were
sent to twenty-three local agricul-
tural associations and officers of
county fairs directing that children
under sixteen years of age be exclud-
ed from the meetings of such associa-
lions. The reason given for this ex-
clusion is to prevent the crowding of
children within the common carriers,
about the entrances to association
grounds and in the enclosed true
lures where many exhibits are dis
ployed.
The letter to the Changers picnic
exhibition at Williams Grove, in
Cumberland county, where 1907 900
persons were in attendance last year,
read as follows:
Mr.. r. H. Thomas, Jr.,
Dear Sir:
owing to the number of cases of in
fantile paralysis occurring in various
points n Pennsylvania and to the
general quarantine now established
against this disease, it is advisable
that children under sixteen a of
age be excluded from attendance on
meetings of Agricultural societies.
county fairs and other largely at
tended meetings otherwise, crowds
OF children may be brought together
In common carriers, about entrance
gates and in Enclosed structures in a
way h a will increase the chance of
spreading this disease.
I am writing you at this time so
that you may give widespread pub
icity to the fact that children will not
be admitted to the meetings of your
association from August Sth to Sep
TENDER End"

U-Boat Rammed in Sea
Fight Returns to Germany

Amsterdam, Aug. 23.-An official
German report says that a submarine
which was rammed after sinking a
| British cruiser has returned to port.
Whether a second German submarine
was destroyed can only be decided
when all the reports of submarines
have been received.
Regarding British attempts to deny
that a British destroyer was sunk and
a British battleship damaged" the
statement says. I'VE refer to the Off
cial German report of August 20 which
is maintained in all points. The al
legged retreat as stated in the British
admiralty report, of the German high
sea fleet. before which the British high
sea forces nowhere appeared, is ina
ginative."
The British official statement of the
sinking of the British cruisers Not
tingham and Falmouth by German
submarines in the North Sea on Sat
urday, August 10. said that one Ger
man submarine was destroyed and that
another was rammed and possibly
sunk.
