INFECTED MILK WAS
 CAUSE OF TYPHOID FEVER

CAUSE OF TYPHOID FEVER
 Dr. Stanley Osborn of the state depart ment of health has made an investigation of the causes of the 75 cases of typhoid fever reported in the state from Jan. 1 of this year to June 30, when the fiscal year closed. He has traced the course of 10 cases to infected milk, seven to contact with clinical case, one to contact with a carrier and in six cases the patients were infected outside the state. The cause of the disease in 33 cases was un- known and in 1S cases the records were not received by the department.
 The infected milk was found in Dan bury, Wallingford and Meriden. The resi- dents of this state who were infected out side Connecticut had their homes in New London, Norwich. Waterbury, Sharon. Washington and East Granby.
 Three carriers of typhoid bacilli were located, two being accidentally discovered. In only one instance did the carrier cause infection.
 Dr. Osborn is preparing statement to be sent to the local school authorities on the necessity of vaccination as a, precau- ton against smallpox. He will direct the attion of the school committees to the fact that they have the right to exclude children from school who are not vacci- hated. The doctor said that vaccination is neglected to a considerable extent through the state. The statistics of the United States public health service show that from 1916 to 1918 tne number of cases of the disease in the country had increased from 15,4s0 to 6S,S1s. An epi- demic of the disease was more likely to break out in the cold weather, when chill dren meet in large numbers in school houses and when windows were closed than in warm weather when ventilation was better

DON'T BE BALD
How to Make Hair Grow Strong, Thick
 and Lustrous

How to Make Hair Grow Strong, Thick
 and Lustrous.
 Few of us get bald in a, day, and we all have ample warning when our hair is thinning out.
 Parisian sage is a most efficient hair invigorator, but to quickly stop any fur ther loss of hair and promote a new growth it must be rubbed into the scalp so the starved hair roots can really ab- sorb it and get the vital stimulation so badly needed.
 You will surely be delighted with the first application, for your hair and scalp should look and feel 100 per cent. better
 Parisian sage is not expensive It's a scientific preparation that supplies hair needs-a clean, non-sticky antiseptic liquid that is sold by Lee & Osgood and at good drug stores everywhere with guarantee to give you perfect satisfaction or money refunded
 Good looking hair is half the battle in any mans or woman's personal appear ance. Neglect means dull, thin, dead-iook- ing hair, and finally badness, while a little attention now should insure thick and lustrous hair for years to come.
 No matter what your hair troubles try Parisian sage massage tonight-you will not be disappointed.

AlkaIi in Shampoos
 Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoo contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is Mulsihed cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greasless. It's very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoenful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle Besides, it 1oosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
