We take them for good eggs, but by trying them to we if they were good. ilnd only one good one in the whole desert. The rest are all bad eggs. And so. I think. that is the way it is: that it is only by inch and chance that a woman gets a good husband.

Mr. Editor: At this time. when so many families are being deprived of their usual freedom. for the good of the community. on account of the prevalence of scarlet fever.~ it may not be amiss to show to them that there is nothing new in the infectious- ness of milk. and that it has contri- buted many times to the spreading of epidemics «used by total neglect of the known laws regarding contagious diseases. Prompt isolation in every suspicious case is the best known course of procedure; but where this is neglected. either on accorlut of a failure of the physician to report the case. or persons not obeying the connection laws, we will lime epi- domino. Milk is one of the beat mediums for spreading disease germs. and where suspicion rests on the milk. the supply should be stopped the cane and but- tles thorombly cleansed. and oven , then the infection may be several days in reaching full deveIOpment. We may reasonably expect to have cases appear for some time, coming to us from neighboring towns, this being a railroad center: but the fact is. whereas three and four cases were he- iug reported daily. fortymight hours after the source of milk supply was stopped. not a case was reported for at week. In all twentyQtwo cases were reported. using the same milk. and none which did not use it after Oct- ubcr 26. With your permission I will quote from some of the best authori- ties on this subject from the report of the State Board of Ileaith of 1896. Dr. Ernst sent out circulars of in- quiry to 1.800 physicians to determine if there was any danger in using the milk of diseased animals. The result was that. in their opinion, such milk should be avoided. Dr. Woodbead says that in children at least. general in- berculosis infection is in very many cases to be traced to infected milk. Professor Vaughan has a record of 138 epidemics of typhoid fever traceable to a specific pollution of the milk. 74 of scarlet fever and 3 of diphtheria. The germs get into the milk at milking time. from the sides of the row. the pull. the hands of the mllker. from dirty udders. from the water added after the milk has left the dairy. and from the careless habits of the family where it is used. The only nmedy is inspection. cleanliness. sterilisation. All cattle should be inspected and the diseased ones condemned. Cleanliness of animals. of persons and surround~ lugs should be enforced. The terrible results from using infected milk should be taunt in families and in the schools. Those receiving mill: should sleriliae it. But as this reuuiree a thermometer. the best test of the prop~ or heat is boiling. Put the milk in tightly corked bottles filled within two inches of the top. immerse these hot» ties in water. boil. and cool before rs- movsl. This is a simple room, can be practiced in any home and renders the will practically free from danger ‘ Protsssor Jacobi danger decreases with m Maltese have been ob~ served in which outbreaks of typhoid fever. seariet fever and diphtheria. by their sudden and explosive cm. electing families living in Vstrssis or localities visited by the some miibmsu. naturally mated to the milk supply “summonses: hairline.

It apponr accident in the Bridgeport Morning Telegram. that Mrs. George Jennings. of Greenfield Hill. was driving through i-‘uiriield on her way home. when her carriage was struck by a trolley car going in the opposite direction and she was nearly killed outright. She ato tempted to cross the track in front of the approaching car when the collision- occurred. Mrs. Jennings is very near sighted and is obliged to wear giassea She was inivlng toward her home alone. and seeing the car approaching turned to one side. as she supposed. to get out of the way. She either minralcuiated the distance or become confused at that moment and unfortunately drove di- rectly in front of the car. The horse was struck and thrown down. the car: ridge upset and Mrs. Jennings thrown under the ear. Her right hip was crushed. her right leg crushed and bad ly lacerated between the hip and knee. her left femur broken and a deep gash cut acmse her groin. The horse's legs were broken. but the carriage escaped without any material injury. The accident occurred about oppoo site the Congregational church. and a small crowd soon collected. Dr. lion- nideon was sent for as soon as possi- bio. and saw that it was a case that should be hurried to the Bridgeport hospital. A stretcher was provided and the unfortunate woman was placed in the car and hurried in Bridgeport. In the meantime the Traction com- pany had been notified of the accident and condition of affairs. They noti- iled the emergency hospital and ur- rangeti for the mabulance to meet the car and remove Mrs. Jennings to the general hospital. As soon as the pa- tient reached that institution the sur- gical staff were called in for the pur~ pose of performing an operation. Af- ter an examination it was deemed ad~ vieable to defer it until today. owing to the weak condition of the patient from the injuries indicted. The horse was so badly injured that it was found necessary to about it to relieve it of its misery The car which collided with Mrs. .lcnuiugs' team was run by Motormuu W. H. lauphear. No blame can he luv turned to him for the accident as he took all the precautions possible to avoid the collision. it is supposed that owing to Mrs. Jennings' poor eyesight and as it was snowing at the time with the liekes lodging against her glasses. that she miscsleulaied the situation and drove into the dangerous position she did. The Traction company did everything possible for her case. and so far as can be learned cannot be held responsible for the. accident. Mrs. Jennings' husband was notified as soon as pmalble and came to this city and was with her through the night. The hospital physicians hold ‘ out. but little hope that Mrs. Jennings will survive her injuries. FELL PRO“ A LADDER. m Charles P. Addison iniured :leanlug Windows. Willie Charles it.
