The number Of these articles which

the officials issuing the ticket. At one
time no one can buy more than two
pairs Of stockings, or two handker-
chiefs, or three towels. or one shirt. or
two collars. Raw materials in Ger
many are SO scarce that the govern
ment is compelled to limit the sale Of
all clothing.
Cotton and wool supplies have long
ago been exhausted. New clothes
which have been made during the last
year have been manufactured from
cotton and wool yarns made OF rags.
The government buys every possible
stitch of old clothing, sends 1t to a
government bureau, where the wool in
the garments Is separated from the
cotton. The material Ii pulled to
pieces, the wool and cotton are bleach

yarn and thread are made from these

Prevention of InfantiIe Paralysis.
A committee of the conference Of
state and provincial boards of health
which was held at Washington. May
8, 1917. recommended the following
measures for the control of poliomy-
el5tis liutanuIe paralysisl:
First, isolation of the patient not
less than two weeks nor more than
three weeks from the onset of the ILL
ness unless the temperature remains
above normal beyond that time
Second. children who may have
been i'm contact with the patient at any
time must be kept from places of pub
Ilc assembly for at least IL days from
date of last contact as determined by
the health officer.
Third adults i'm the patients house
hold may continue their EoCauons
provided they do not come in direct
contact with children thereby
Ia the matter of disjufectj0u it may
be well TO quote the committees rec

readers will note that nothing is said
about fumigating apartments.

first. the discharges from the nose.

disinfected promptly; second. the care

and hot water promptly after handling
said discharges, third, the caretaker
shall wash her hands similarly before
leaving the room occupied by the pa

mated by a thorough washing Of the
entire body and hair Of the patient.
and the room shall be cleaned with
