CURBING THE SPREAD OF DISEASE What Health Officer Says About It. Allen If Parents Would D Their Share In Assisting the Board of Health, Even Handicapped na It Is, the Spread of Contagious Diseases Would Bo Greatly Limited Regu lations of Board Are Ample If Properly Observed Difficulties That the Board Encounter. As a matter of fact 1 believe tlio prevalence of these diseases Is duo as It was dutliiR the last epidemic, of measles to the thoughtlessness and almost criminal ncRllBeiiou of parents. If one child who Is III Is kept In beil.liveor sl more who are lint allowed to attend school, nmin the streets, visit Mioir friends, havo a line time and scatter the disease broadcast and their parents won der why the board ot health does not take more active measures to control this terrible epidemic. -Kx-cerpt from monthly report of Health Olllcer W. II. Allen, printed In yesterday's Tribune. --" "I am llrmlv convinced." said Dr. Al len to a Tribune man yesterday, "that the spread of contagious diseases) which Is now causing Mich alarm among the people of the city Is due almost entirely to the carelessness of parents. People who are continually asking what Hie board of health Is do ing In such emergeneles us the present are the ones, too often, who flagrantly violate the rules of the boaul of health and go counter to common sense when they or the members of their families touch, at some point, a matter that affects the geneiat health nf the com munity. "With a ease of scarlet fever In their family thev allow their ehlldien to roam the street, visit li lends and do everything else the youngsters may take It into their heads to de and thus the disease Is spread broadcast. Peo ple do not generally teallze the dange:1 of this disease. The germs never die; they have to be killed. Th"ie are cases on record where bed clothing that covered a scarlet fever patient which were laid away for ten years, at the end of that time communicated the disease UKUULATIONS ADKQUATK. "The regulations of the hoard of health are entirely adequate for any such emergency as the present If wo only had the means at our disposal of enfonlng them. We have one sanitary offleer for Hie whole city of Sci anion who, during the last few weeks, has had an assistant. Hy means of this assistant we havo been able to do a good deal toward curbing the spread of dlease. but my Idea Is that we ought to have a sanitary olllcer or each of the live health, districts of tlu city. With a force of that Mze we would be able to lieeii things well In hand. "The tales of the board proscribe that when a case of contagious disease Is reported to the board, the superin tendent of schools Is at once apprised and he in turn nottMes the principal of the school the children of the family attend. These children aro thereupon excluded from school until they bring a rortlllcate from the attending phy sician showing that the disease !'as run its cotitse and that the house Iris been properly fumigated. This regu lation If observed b- phy-ictr.ns and patents, would b" suillclent to prevent th spread of any contagious illse.ise through the medium of the schools. "With th" manngoment of the fam ily at the home It Is manifestly dlfll eult for the board of health to Inter fere, and there after all Is where the great danger comes in. We deny the pupils admission to the schools and their parents promptly turn them out of doors and allow them to spread the disease broadcast. The only remedy for this is u mora enlightened public opinion and a greater display of com mon sense on the part of parents. More frequent urglngs by physicians of the danger of allowing people from infected houses to go ahioad would un doubtedly do some good. CANNOT HK AVOIDED. "While people insist on passing free ly In and out nf Infected houses, visit ing IKUS03 that death has visited and attending tho funerals of those whu die from contagious dseass, we will meet just such a condition of affairs as we are confronted with at present. "Since Thomas V. Lewis was hired to assist Sanitary Policeman lturk'j we have almost stamped out that out rage against public health, the public funeral in connection with deaths from contagious diseases. As soon us such a death Is reported Mr. Lewis notltl"S the relatives that a public funeral will not be permitted nnd he sees to It that people are not allowed to visit tin house, and that It Is piopoiiy fumi gated. If we had e. sulliciont force of men to nllow this hystom to Include, to an extent, the cases where people are 111 from contagious diseases, we would take n long step In the direction of putting ii stop to the spread of tho diseases that are no" causing such trouble. We have not the money or power necessary to do this. Our hands In fact are practically tied In the way of doing more than vu aro at pres ent. "Pennsylvania needs to display mor- liberality In legislating for its boards of health and councils lined to display more liberality In providing funds for the boards to catry on the Important work that Is entrusted to them. The power vested In the boards of health ought to be autllclcnt to enable them to meet the grave questions that are con stantly arising In mm form or another when tho health of communities is menaced. They should be able to .vie quickly and have the power necessary to enforcu tho policy the Authorities believe to bo necessary to preserve tho public health. "In the present emergency I would suggest most urgently that the phy sicians of the city and tho people of the city co-operate with tho health authorities In preventing the further spread of diphtheria and mtrlot fever. If this Is done there will be a vorv noticeable deereaso In the number of new cases and in tho city's death rote." Oriental Rugs and Carpets, We have a few very I'.ne bargains In rugs.

It Has Been Decided to Pumignto Them nt Night Superintendent of Schools Howell Is Displeased Over the Fact That tho Board of Health Did Not Meet Wednesday Night. Number of New Cases Reported Yesterday Somo of the Regula tions of tho Board. Schools No. "3 and 10 were not closed yesterday, as it had btcn expected they would be, tho school controllers In the wards In which they aro located having changed their minds at tip last moment. This wns due to the fact that It was Anally decided to funi mlg.ite and disinfect the buildings at night Instead of during school hours. Superintendent of Schools llowall was very much wrought up yesterday over the fact that the board of health had not considered the situation now confronting the illy a.s being ftilllrlent ly serious to warrant their r.ttendanc.i nt even a regular monthly meeting. He stated that he was getting tired of waiting lor Hie board to meet and that u week ago last Saturday evening a special meeting had been called at his request and ho had waited In the city hall till 'J o'clock without a single mem ber showing up. He exhibited the following blank, which must be filled nut by tho at tending physician b'U'oto a child who has stilfereil from a contagious disease, or In whose family such u disease has existed, can return to school: PHYSICIAN'S CKItTIKIUATK. Scranton 1 To the Principal ot No School: I lureby urtify that all liability on the part of tho pupils ot your school to eontiact by contact with has pissed away: and that may safely be porimltod to resume place in school. Attending Physician. Small pox, varioloid, scarlet fever, etc., as the case may be. Nnnio of pupil. "What T desire tho board of health to do." said Mr. Howell. "Is to add a clause on tho end of that blank stat ing that ten or fourteen days have elapsed since the convalescence of the child, or since the funeral of any mem ber of tho family who died from a contagious disease. If that clause were added by the authority of the board I would direct the teachers In every school throughout tho city to seo that no pupil bo allowed to return to school without the amended certifi cate regularly signed. "This would, I believe, check to a large extent the dangers of contagion. I'nder the present arrangement a cer tlllcate Is soni"tlmes Riven a child who has only recovered one or two days. This is because there Is a variety ot opinion among me Ileal men as to what time after a patient's recovery tho danger of contagion ceases. Some say two days and some say thirty. Uy adding this clause all physicians would be held to obey a tlxed regulation and not their own opinion on tho matter. Fumigating and disinfecting a school building is a safe precaution, but the real root of tho dlfllculty Is not reached by that means." TUP. NKW CASK.?. There were seventeen now cases of diphtheria and scarlet fever reported to the secretary of the board nf health yesterday. Health Olllcer Allen Is of the opinion that many eases reported as diph theria and scarlet fever are not such, for the number of deaths reported from these diseases Is much smaller than the propoitlnn that even th" most con servative medical authorities set down. Klthcr Scranton physicians aro en joying a run of luck In tho treatment of these diseases that upsets all the calculations of medical authorities or else many buses are Imperfectly diagnosed. The following regulations of thi board of health will be read with In terest :t this time: Xo person shall let or biro any house, or room In a house, In which a commun icable d'seace, dangerous to tho public health, has recently existed, until tho room or house and premises therewith connected have been disinfected to the satisfaction of tho board of health: and for the purposes of this section, the keeper of a hotel, Inn or other hotiso for the reception of lodgers, shall be deemed to let or hire part of tho house to any person admitted us a guest into tueh hotel, Inn or house.

Frank and Kate Conway.of the South Washington nventio flats, arrested Wednesday night, at tho Instance of their four children, who accused them of habitual drunkenness, wore yester day morning given n hearing before Alderman John T. Howe and committed to tho county Jail. At tho hearing It was brought out that Conway and his wife deserted their family of young children about nine years ago. Since then the latter have become settled, tho two girls working out for a living, tho older boy living on the South side, and the youngest, a bright little fellow of eleven years, belnrf adopted by an old lady, who took a liking to him. Kecntly bo gained employment In u mine, as n breaker boy, and Wednes day was his pay day. Seven or eight dollars were duo him. and his father, who had heard of his being at work, appeared at the olllco and drew" his pay, with which he and the mother then went on a drunk He has often done this same act with the older brother's wages, but this lust proved too much, and a warrant was accordingly sworn out for the arrest of both father and mother. At the healing yesterday morning tho mother boRRed off in tho most piteous manner, but the alderman sternly re fused to listen and committed both her and the amiable paterfamilias to the county Jail, to there await trial on tho charges of habitual drunkenness and non-support of family.
