PREVENTIVE MEASURES TAKEN.
Dtreotor ICrusen, of tho Philadelphia De
partment of Health and Charities, Insti
tuted measures to stop tho spread of tn
fantllo paralysis In this city. At tho same
time, ho gave renewed assurances, that
there was no cause for alarm, desplta two
cases of tho disease having developed hero.
"In tho first six months of this year."
bs said, "we had five cases of Infantile
paralysis. There was no epidemic and I
do not fear any now. Wt are prepared to
meet any emergency. Unlike New York, we
have always treated infantile paralysis,
which hero is a reportable illness, as we
do othor contagious diseases, by placarding
the houses, removing the patients to the
Municipal Hospital, when proper medical
treatment may not be obtainable In the
home, and establishing a strict quarantine,
as in smallpox, where the case may be
treated at tho home."
A. conference of prominent physicians
representing the County Medical Society,
the Committee on Child Hygiene of the
Philadelphia Pedrlatlo Society and the Bu
reau of Health was held at City Hall yes
terday, at Director Krusen's Invitation, to
consider measures to prevent the. disease
spreading to thtB city, or to control the
malady If it becomes epidemic.
The conference unanimously indorsed sug
. westlons. made by Dr. A. A. Calms, chief
'medical Inspector, Bureau of Health, who
went to New York last Thursday to investi
gate cases and the health measures being
taken there to Btarop out the disease. The
medical Inspector's recommendations were
as follows:
In the event of cases developing in
Philadelphia, they will be treated on the
same llnea as smallpox. Houses will be
put under police quarantine, unless the
patient goes to the Philadelphia Hospital
for Contagious Diseases.
Any physician having In his practice a
child presenting the appearance of weak
ness or paralysis of any extremity, to
gether with more or less pain and sore
ness, with a previous history of fever
and vomiting, should notify the Bureau
of Health by telephone that he has a
case, suspicious of having poliomyelitis.
If the case Is secondary In the same fam
) lly, he should call the special attention of
the chief medical inspector to that fact
j Caaea should be Isolated under the care
' of a trained nurse or competent person
until diagnosis can be definitely fixed,
' ' and then should be removed to the Phila
delphia Hospital for Contagious Diseases.
Physicians should see that sufficient
quantity of cloths are provided so that
discharges from the noae and throat can
be properly collected and placed in paper
bags and subsequently burned. -
The hands of the nufse should be
washed with, soap and water and thor
oughly rinsed after handling the patient
Some efficient disinfectant should be
used In very strong solution.
f The one taking care of the patient
should not (prepare the food for the re
mainder o( the family
Rigidly exclude files and household
pets from the room occupied, by patient
Children usually manifest symptoms of
the disease &n or tea day after ex
posure; the average Incubation period
Is seven days.
Paralysis appears, for tha most part,
before the sixth day, often on the first
day.

GOLF BALL'S ACID BURNS
YOUTH WHO BIT INTO IT
Boy May Dio Following Attempt to
Break Centre Shell
OREBNWICH, Conn.. July 8. Biting Into
the centre of a golf ball may cost Charles
Andrla, 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Lawrence Andrla, of Greenwich, his life,
according to physicians. He Is In the
Greenwich Hospital and but little hopes
are entertained for his recovery.
It la supposed he decided to examine
the Interior of the ball, and after unwind
ing the elastic between the covering and
the acid pocket in the centre, he probably
attempted to break the small shell and, fall

he s believed to have , swallowed some
of It,
The exact substance contained In the
centre of 'the ball Is not known, as It Is a
secret preparation, guarded by patents. A
specimen of the fluid Is being analyzed by
chemists In the hope some effective treat
ment may be pbtalned before It is too late
to save the boy's life.

"That's not the case with Electricity I 'find it actually
costs less, at the new rates, than any other light. I see that
it costs just a bit over two cents to do the washing for six
people with an Electric washing machine about nine
tenths of a cent to use an Electric vacuum cleaner for an
hour about four-tenths of a cent to use a motor on the
6ewing machine for an hour!"
"It costs me $1.60 every week, plus two meals, to have my
washing done, not including the ironing. If I had an Electric,
washer and did the work myself, the total cost would be
between two and three cents! And I would have the satis
faction of knowing that it would be done as I want it dope."
"I must know what it would cost to wire this house of
ours, so that we can use Electric Service. I'll phone the
Electric Company and ask about the special 'Wire-Your-Home-League'
offer and I'll do it right now!"
If you would Hke to have any information
as to the cost of JSlectrto Service or the
cost of wiring, write or call us up and ask,

to get the Postmaster, General's views.
Because of the promises given by Mr,

tively agreed to tho Houso provision of the
bill so far as It affects tho tube service.
Tho Houso simply appropriated for the con
tinuance of tho service, whereas the Senate
nmendment virtually ordered the Postmas

months nt least. Tho Cabinet officer re
garded that Ironclad provision as a reflec
tion and a handicap. Ho said ho wanted an
opportunity to get new bids for the Bervlce.

until a report has been received from tho
commission appointed by the FostofTlce De

of pneumatic tuba service.
Tho committees of Congress expected the
report of that commission would bo made
long ago.
