requested the board that four-foot graves
be required for burial of crematcd bodies.
While the board did not pass any judg-
ment the secretary expressed the view that
graves of that size are unnecessary for
only the ashes, which are free from the
Infection that might arise from decompo-
sition
"If friends Of the cremated wish TO
preserve the remains in some more de-
sirable place it might be we'll to allow
them to do So" DIR. Conwell said.
Mrs. Alfred Crossan, of Mill Creek
hundred, is under pasteur treatment at
the State laboratory at Newark, as the
result of a bite by dog believed to have
been suffering with rabies last Saturday.
DIR. Watson reported this fact to the
board today and said that many dogs in
that section that were bitten by the dog
that bit Wilmer Z. Hobson recently, are
still unleashed and at large. DR. Watson
urged the Importance OF making some dis
position of these unleashed dogs. The
canine that bit Mrs Crossan is also be-
lieved to have bitten another person in
the same hundred This is a child. and DR.
Watson would not disclose the name for
the present for reasons OF his own
DIR Conwell favored allowing we'll chill
dren TO continue going about, and even
TO school where some minor diseases are
concerned, such IA chickenpox and
mumps
FAVOR QUARANTINE FoR MEASLES.
As to measles DIR. Conwell and the rest
were unanimously in favor of plaran-
timing all well children in houses where
measles are, unless they have already had
The disease This is owing chiefly to the
e
complications that frequently arise in
measles cases make il extremely important
TO public health 10 quarantine the well
children in these cases The fact that one
can communicate the disease before self
affiiction was emphasized by the doctors.
All the members also agreed that
in cases Of diphtheria and scarlet fever
the entire family should be strictly quaran-
tined Scarletina is no exception to this.
the doctors stated, there being no dis
tinction pathologically or otherwise be-
tween il and scarlet fever.
WANT ANrrroxN USED.
DR.. Conwell voiced the opinion Of the
whole board when he stated that some
physicians were not using antitoxin early
or freely enough in diphtheria cases, and
that consequently there have been too
many deaths from the malady In the past
year.
The board vas of the belief that the
public attaches too much Importance 20
disinfection. The practice of thorough
cleaning up in the sick room and around
it would be much better safeguard than
disinfection against the spread of con-
tag,on.
DR.. w. 2. Orr conceded with Dr. Con-
we'll in this discussion. An anti-rat
crusade throughout the State along the
lines followed by the New Castle County
Farm Bureau was urged before the board
and it is likely some such action will result
DR.. w. F. Orr was reelected president
and DR.. J.. S. Conwell secretary and DR. ii
j. Watson named pathologist and bacteri-
ologist at this afternoons session.

dred against dogs running at large was
