Doctor Dixon wns equally optimistic that
(i-rfSatloii and quarantining as means of
thccltltiR tho disease have been vindicated.
Doctor Krusen, Doctor Dixon, Doctor
Charles IC Mllln and others will confer
with nifmhers of the Board ot Education
tomorrow or Wednesday, In order to decide
upon a date for tho opening ot the public
ichools.
'According to statistics, wo should now
be In thfi midst of a great epidemic," Doc
tor Dixon said today. "As a matter cit
fact, we arc holding our own nt least. And
'.h.'n vnu remember that Philadelphia la
f closer to New York from physical, social
I .ml commcrclol standpoints than are other
centers of contagion In thl. State, the
record of Philadelphia Is wonderful."
ALONG TRANSPORTATION LINES.
Doctor Dixon said ho believed the dls
taso was carried nlong the lines of human
transportation. To Illustrate, ho pointed
out that Sornnton and Wllkes-Darre, with
similar railway connection with New York,
'tre, next lo Philadelphia, tho largest centers
of Infection. Other cases nro scnttered
Iong lines of transporntlon, ho said.
Doctor Dixon expressed disappointment
that soma Sunday school authorities In
Pennsylvania towns took except on3 to his
order closing Sunday schools entirely.
"I am sorry they view It that way," ho
tald. "But It's the ordy way."

Walter It. Buckman, president of the
Philadelphia County Fair, to be held Wed
nesday to .Monday ut Byberry, assured Di
rector Krusen that .a day planned for chil
dren would be abandoned, and that no
persons under 10 would be admitted.
The following seasonable suggestions to
parents were Issued by Commissioner
Dixon:
Tho temptation of unripe fruit Is
not tho only danger which wise parents
must guard their youngsters ngalnst
at this time ot the year. Owing to the
extreme heat and the variety of diet.
It Is not at all unusual for children to
develop serious digestive disturbances.
These are among the first symptoms
of Infantile paralysis as well as numer
ous other diseases of children. The
exact relation of this condition to the
disease has not as yet been determined.
The unnatural fermentation might help
the germ of Infantile paralysis to multi
ply. For this reason It Is especially
important that Intelligent supervision
should be exercised over tho diet of
children.
All food should be cooked. They
should not be permitted to eat white
bread In excessive amounts nnd sour
bread should never be fed to children.
Too many sweets are apt to upset the
digestion at this season of the year.
With bottle-fed Infants care should
be taken to keep the milk at a tempera
ture of from 40 to 60 degrees until It
Is prepared for feeding. The nipples of
the nursing bottle slfould be sterilized
before they are used, and the water
which babies. In common with all nf
us, require In unusual amounts during
the hot weather should be sterilized by
bolllng,
