HEALTH BOARD CHECKS
SPREAD OF TYPHOID
No New Cases Since Local Au-
thorities Took Hand in
Matter.

There have been no further cases
of typhoid in the West Palisade Sec
tion reported since the local Board of
Health took a hand in the matter,
sent the patients to the Englewood
Hospital and took steps to check the
spread of the disease by fumigation
sterilization of the cesspools, etc.
The first case that developed was
between Christmas and New Years
and the patient, little Mary Makusta,
was first treated by DIR. Fessler, Of
Grantwood, who pronounced the
disease typhoid fever after making n
blood test. When he told the parents
the child would have to be removed
to the hospital they got another doc
tor from Palisades Park, Dr. Brod-
head, who said that the child was only
suffering from influenza. A case up
stairs in the same house developed
and DR.. Justin, of Palisade, was called.
He pronounced his case typhoid and
the parents followed suit of the fam
lily below and secured the services OK
the same Palisades Park doctor,
In the meantime both DR.. Fessler
and DR.. Justin reported the cases to
the local Board of Health, of which
DIR. r. T. Scott, of Palisade, is presi-
dent, with, the result that this body
ordered the cases to be taken to the
hospital, rine in all
The Diskup family suffered the
most from the ravages of the disease.
The father, Daniel Diskup, died on
Sunday Of last week after compara-
lively short illness and his wife and
two Of his three children are now very
as five other patients.
The section is west of Route No. 10
just back of the Palisade school house
on Anderson avenue, and the living
conditions are far from what they
should be. None of the homes enjoy
gas or electric service, there are no
sewers and until very recently none
of the houses had any water supply
other than wells. The house in which
the stricken families were even now
depends on well in the rear for
water, and the well is known to con-
tain colon bacillus, but whether or
not it contains actual typhoid germs
has not yet been determined. The
toilets are all connected with cess
pools and it Is a fact that seepage
from the cesspools is getting into
nearby stream and contributing to-
ward the pollution Of Wolf Run.
Health Inspector Fred Dyer reports
that a second chemical test of the
well water will be made Immediately
and probably third one later on.

Public Service to
Insure Employees
at Very Low Rate

A group life insurance plan under
the terms of which every employe Of
a Public Service company who is now
in active service and has been in
company employ for year or more
will be eligible for minimum policy
of $1,000 without physical examina-
tion and at an extremely low rate has
been announced by the Public Serv-
ice Welfare Department.
Twelve thousand men and women
are Immediately eligible and the ben
eft will within the next twelve
months be automatically extended to
1000 others now of less than one
years employment.
The company furnishing the in
surance is the Prudential Insurance
Company of America and the amount
involved will ultimately approximate
between $15,000,000 and $4,000, 900.
The policy provides for payment in
case of death, and for those of less
than sixty years of age in the case
of total and permanent disability.
The premium to be paid by employ
es benefitting is at the rate of sixty
cents per month, per thousand, to be
deducted from salaries and wages.
The Public Service companies pay all
premiums in excess of the sixty
cents and assume all clerical and
other expenses necessary to the ad-
ministration of the plan.
The taking out of insurance under
the plan is not compulsory, but the
advantages are so manifest that it is
expected that there will be a practi-
cally' unanimous acceptance of the
offer especially as the policy provides
that in the event of any employe
leaving the service for any cau5e, he
or she may continue the insurance
without physical examination at the
rate ordinarily charged for persons
of his or her attained age.
The plan is now ready for submis-
sion to the employees and the work Of
enrolment will begin as soon a the
necessary blanks can be prepared.
Each individual taking out insurance
will be given certificate stating
the terms of his insurance.
The group insurance il in addition
to the benefits which employees re-
ceive under the Public Service We'll
fare Plan, which provides death ben
efits, sick benefits, and a system of
pensions.

Storm Clouds Visibility

The weather bureau says that the
distance at which storm clouds are
visible to the naked eye varies great
ly with ones position and the kind of
clouds. If person is in an open fiat
country and the clouds are of the
broad stratus or layer type, he may
not see them more than 80 or 40 miles
away. and even not half so far if the
air tends to be misty or hazy. On the
other hand, when the air is quite clear
a well developed cumulo-nimbus, or
thunderstorm, cloud may, in favorable
circumstances, be seen when more
than 100 miles away.

''Mad Dog Scare in
Palisade Wednesday

The pet dog belonging to Mr.. and
Mrs. Broderson of 1101 Anderson ave-
nue., Palisade, was killed by police
mans bullet after biting two people
on last Wednesday.
The animal was taken sick in the
morning and Mrs. Broderson asked
the police to come and kill it.
Officers Stengle and Rosenstengle
responded, but as Mrs. Broderson
opened the door to let the police in
the dog ran out.
The cops gave chase, ana the trail
led toward the cliff front. Joe, an
Italian who works at the Hunike
home, tried to catch the runaway and
was bitten on the hand.
The second victim of the dogs teeth
was Mr. Van Valkenburg of Abbott
boulevard, who tried to do precisely
the same thing as Joe and met pre-
cisely the same fate.
Carmine Richards joined the chase
with his Buick car, and the end of the
journey found the trio in Palisade
Park, where three shots brought the
animal to a halt and caused his death.
1t is not thought that the dog was
mad, but for safety's sake the head
has been sent to Trenton for examina-
tion.

goes to the National tuberculosis AS
sociation, so our contributions are

be obtained without the very fine
service of our chairmen and commit
