While tin* OPuutryat largo Is be coining agitated over tin* terrible epi demic which 1m spreading among uM> Northern states, us well as some of tho Southern states, lu which tho doath rate among children Is Houiethlug fear ,ful to road about, would It not ho wise for Camden i>eoplc to take early pre caution and before it strikes Cannleu which boasts of Us many babies aufi children. Have a thorough nvorhatfl liiK ami cloantug of everyone's prom ises, especially the stables and cow slunls, which at present, all over town, are very much In evidence, judging from the odors thai one notices while INissing by. As it has boon proven that tho germ of Infantile paralysis coiuos from the stable tly and quoting from the Liter ary Digest of July Iftth, l>r. Phillip A 10. Shoppard. who has made u si>eclat study of the disease since 11HH>, asserts that infuntlie paralysis is carried by a species of stable tly, baling his Itellof for one reason on the fact that- the oo-? currence. of the disease in epidemic form Is nearly blent h-at with the life Incident of this tly. Infantile paralysis in epidemic form has never api>eared to any ureal ex tent until some time in May, one inopth after this stable tly has begun to appear lu abundance. The New York Times goes on to say that the city and state authorities of New York are doing all they ran. Physicians and nurses are busy carlpg for victims, whether at homo or in Vospltals and make a plea that those workers be .aided lu all possible ways by citizens saying, "Those who obey sanitary laws should instruct neigh bora who do not." ltules to stop the spread of the dis ease issued hy health commissioner II. Emerson, of New York City, are given to the press as follows: Parent*: See that your children avoid indoor gatherelhgs. Apartments and house owners: See that enough cans are provided to seal every scrap of garbage. Houses where there has been Infantile paralysis should be renovated the moment pla cards are removed. This means re painting or revarntshtng, repairing and scrubbing woodwork with hot wa ter and washing soda. Janitors : See that no rubbish or garbage Is exposed to flies and that premises are kept scrupulously clean. CITY HEALTH NOTICE.

No single room apartment satisfies the hammerhead. When he builds his nest he divides it into three rooms ? a reception hall, a drawing room and a bedroom. The entire structure is built of sticks, dome shape, and sometimes six feet In diameter. The bird is so good a carpenter and engineer that the nest will bear the weight of a man. In appearance tbe bird looks always as if he needed a haircut. His long locks, hanging down his neck, have given him his name, hammerhead. __The entrance to this domelike .nest is small and on the concealed side. Tbe first room is the halt where the ham merhead lives when he fears attack. Behind this is tbe drawing room, the home of the young birds when they outgrow the bedroom. r r The bedroom is higher, than the rest and safe from floods. Hero the female bird deposits eggs on a nest of leavee, and both parents take turns at keep ing them warm. The hammerhead lives in Africa, usually builds his nest near a stream and eats flsh, frogs, lizards and small snakes. ? Philadelphia North American. Give the Baby a Chance. Bad air, bad milk, over-crowding, poverty, dirt. Ignorance, heat? these combine in hummer to kill the. city baby. It seems as though the brunt of the cities' sanitary Sinn were focused dh the. baby. The baby didn't ask to come, to live in a hot. dark, air-tight tenement, to be fed on dirty, half spoil ed milk, to be i>estere<l with flies and mosquitoes, He is not responsible for any of these conditions and it is hia right that he have fresh air, cleaft sur roundings and decent food.
