The infantile paralysis epidemic.
after jumping yesterday to a total of
five cases reached a halt today in this
city, and no new cases have been re-
ported. Tt is hoped that the outbreak
was but a temporary one, and that the
five cases now experienced in Norwalk
will be the only ones to hit this city.

No new orders aside from the ones‘
already issued by the health depart.-
ment have. been sent out, but it is
earnestly urged that parents take ev-
ery precaution to keep their children
in their own yards and in this way
protect them as much as possible from
contraction of the disease.

The two cases reported yesterday
are doing as nicely at this time, as
could be expected.

known to be very large. All of the
estate goes to relatives of Mrs. Thom-
as or her husband. Her son, Joseph
B. Thomas, receives the income of the
residue estate for life. Mrs. Helen
Kelley Thomas. daughter-ln-law, who
is a widow, receives the life marble
of a trust fund of $100,000. Mrs.
Fannie M. Andrews of West avenue.
Norwalk. receives the life income of
a trust fund of 830,000. Other rela-
tives in Norwalk will probably be re-

lic. The son, Joseph 'B. Thomas, is
the executor of the estate.
