Says Schools
 Of Stratford
 Are Unclean

Rev. Charles W. Simpson, the nilf- tant ministerial opponent of vacclna- l tion, renews today his charge that suited in a paralysis of the little one. He has addressed the following to the health authorities of Stratford:
 "Just a week ago today, there ap- peared on the front page of the Tim es an interview in which was quoted as saying that a child in Stratford, vac cinated by Dr. Lews, was paralyzed and unable to walk.
 the State Board of Health had taken the matter up with Dr. LeWls. Health Officer of the town of Stratford. and he asked me for the name ana resi- dence of said child.
 .@The next day he demanded a re- traction of the statement.
 What I did say was that such case had been reported in writing at a meeting of the Medical Liber League of Stratford.
 At that same meeting, May 16, a committee was appointed to investt- gate and at last evenings meeting it reported.
 .sThe child was vaccinated May 1st, and was unable to walk until the morning they called, May IT and then but little. Saturday morning, May 20, she was lying down at II o'clock, and though her mother informed me that she was getting along nicely, a small boy interrupted his mother by

 we were informed that a child had been vaccinated almost against the mothers will Cbecause of threats that he would be held back in the same grade for another year) and then. because the school nurse decided it did not take w9e sent home and told to be re-vaccinated- This the m other refused to do, took the mat ter up with Dr. Lewis and was told to have it done over and over again.
 The question is how long will a thinking. honest public sentiment stand such things
 It is my opinion, and that of many others, that a couple of dozen cases of smallpox, so diagnosed by Dr. Lewis and other physicians. though at least one called a number of them does not constitute an epi- demic of smallpox.

Be that as 1T may both teams have

Continued reports of a good spot de-

Mill takings of 100000 bales at first

with very large takings this week last
year, 3S1 900 bales, but after the figures
were digested 1t was concluded that the
comparison hardly was fair one and
that the takings this week had to be
considered at least fairly large. 1t was

quest. Harvard will send a first string
eleven at the height of mid-season form,
and one of which has aimed carefully at
the Centre objective. Every man on the
Crimson squad was reported as fit and
ready for business.
Handicapped by delay in reaching Bos-
ton, which deprived the team Of prac-
tice period yesterday afternoon, Coach
''Uncle Charley" Moran put his Colonies
through a stiff three hour drill in the
stadium this forenoon. The practice was
secret.
