THINKS EPIDEMIC
 NOT AN EPIDEMIC
((COMMUNICATED.)

Vaccination most surely Is a ques- tion. It is positive the scientific world does not accept 1t is a truth. Many books of real true investiga- ton have condemned its use. Some by those who have practiced it for years and found it failure.
 Statistics can be obtained showing the death rate from vaccination of children to be greater than the death rate from smallpox in the same period of time.
 I am informed that other cities in Connecticut have attempted compul- sorry vaccination Unconstitutional in the opinion of many, if not all true Americans) and have been defeated by public opinh0n and by the courts. The names and Addresses of a num- Der of physicians and others of au- thority opposed to vaccination:
 E. M. Ripley, M. D., Unionville, Conn.
 Thomas Mulligan, M D., New Bri- tain, Conn.
 D. F. Bowers, NJ. D.. New Haven, Conn.
 w F. Hinckley. M. D, Waterbury, Conn, and many others.
 Now, let us be fair. There is no doubt many interests of a conner cial nature are at work to foster vac cination. As one physician has said. vaccination is a good thing to keep us busy treating the tuberculosis. -NCNOI l1lC1coS 4IA<144gB II AlO SAAA, IVY persons directly advocating vaccina- ton in Bridgeport at the present time are sincere in their belief. They have a right to their belief, BUT so have OTHERS. Why COMPULSORY vac cination?
 feel sure the board of health will be made to see it in this light and will retract the compulsion if they have not already done so.
 The question has been asked what should the parents do who do not wish their children vaccinated?
 A note from a physician stating the health of the child does not ad- wise it will excuse under the law. Many good physicians will supply such a note, but this should not be necessary.
 Inform the teacher by note or per sonal call that your child is NOT to be vaccinated but to be sent home 1T necessary. Also inform the child not to allow 1t under any condition. ., Should it come to a showdown, stick to your convictions as good citizen I assure you you will not be This is not an epidemic. It is just a local ''score." Keep yourself and children in health and this scare will be over in short order. Don't be scared into smallpox or Vacclna- ton or anything else.

THE PEOPLES SAY
Bridgeport. Conn,

Jan. l2, 1922. To the Editor of the Bridgeport Times.
 Dear Sir:-The writer wishes that Figures tell a startling truth,'' had page.
 From time to time I have read quite a few articles on vaccination some for and some against.
 l have also read articles written by members of the medical profess sion, telling us to be very careful to avoid infection of a scratch or other wound.
 Vaccination as I understand 1t. con- sists in inoculating bodily wound with an infectious disease.
 If this be so, then we have before us an amazing inconsistency.
 Let me quote a line from state ment on vaccination by Thomas Null igan, M. D., of New Britain, Conn.,:
 Because a stupid fellow conceived the idea that health could be main tained by instil1ing a puss extra acted from filthy animal into the blood stream of a human being, small minds continue to reflect the absurdity.
 The medical profession numbers a have the welfare of mankind at heart.
 I have before me 8 list Of about 20 M. D's who are utterly opposed to vaccination.
 I believe that vaccination is a crim- ;nal invasion of personal rights, and that inasmuch as Doctors Disagree" vaccination should not be compulsory.

MASTER BAKERS
 TO REDUCE PRICE MONDAY MORNING

A general reduction in the price of bread goes into effect on Monday morning was announced yesterday after a. meeting of the Masters Bakers Association. Although one store in the city has a five cent loaf of bread on the market it was decided yester- day that it would not be possible to out 2, five cent loaf on the market and still retain a small margin of profit for the producers It was therefore decided by the following bakeries who control most of the bread output in the city to reduce the price on the 24 ounce loaf two cents and also reduce the price on the 16 ounce loaf one cent making the new prices twelve and eight cents respectively. The bakers who have agreed to this reduc- ton are the Crouch &, Plassman Co.,. The Adams Roth Baking Co.,, The Bridgeport Bread Co.,, the P. Soren- son Go, and Soderholm Brothers. The new prices will go into effect on Mon day morning.
