Warnings issued by health odioere and health departments concerning the care which should be taken by the Individual regarding the spread 'of “the nu" ought to be received with more seriousness than they ' are. . The disease is no joke. It is very . serious to those who suffer from it and when large numbers of people are afllicisd with it there is a seri- ous loss of money and efficiency to the entire community. Consequent- ly the individual should feel some - responsibility about passing the dis. ease along, People have thus far been edu- cated to the point where they sub- mit voluntarily to quarantine when they have smallpox. scarlet fever. diphtheria and typhoid. They have "not. yet learned to feel the same way about diseases of the nose. “throat and lungs. Coughing in other people’s faces. .oxpecforating promiscuously. being careless with' hendkerchiefs. prob- ;ly help “the flu" spread around a unfunny as fast as anything could and yet people are indifferent out these things in public places. . it is true. as the state department .0! health says. "the law stands back of any effort to get rid of careless “ pitters who endanger the health of there." But this law is only one of hundreds that are never enforced. And if it were enforced the coughs:- . and sneexer would still go un- i-eesthes. " The law can't meet the situation. Only a realization on the part of each citizen that he must never. un- . der any circumstances. take a chance 3‘ of infecting his neighbor will rem- ,ody the eliminate "flu" epidemics. . THAT EASTER FEELING. é. ‘ Up to~ today the weather man must be given credit for cooperating as well as he can toward a success— ful Easter season in the shops and .stores. . There was the "feeling" of spring . the air. telling us that while there 3 y be a cold day or two. there can be no return of the bitter chill of winter. . The temptation is strong to ;throw of! overcoats andihcavy wraps al- though. second thought suggests a snore cautious attitude towards the bothersome but protective garments or winter. ‘rEverybody is looking around for Spring attire and the window dress- ers of the various retail concerns and doing their very best to pro- vide the seeker with something good to look at. Stoi-e windows are never so fascinating as at Easter time. And Easter Day is Easter Day no matter how chilly or even rainy it ‘ may be. That's the day when 7 everybody really wants to be in best "bib and tucker" no matter how lie—or she—may say “1 don't care." The world is on parade Easter Day and nobody’s going to be happy wedding on the curb watching the procession. Everybody wants to be in line. , book your prettiest!

Mr. Dibble's wife died a number of years ago and Mrs. Howard has kept house for him since. ' In Billie of the widespread senil- mcnt in favor of such modification of tho Volstcud Act. as revealed by newspaper polls throughout the country, it is doubtful if the present session of Congress or oven the next. will modify the act, according to Schuyler Merritt. of Stamford. The more conservative members of the anti-prohibition bloc. includ- ing Repressntativo Merritt, believe that harm rather than good may be done in the cause of modification by the efforts of its more radical. and urgent advocates. They believe that much study must be made of the method of modification before ac- tion, can be taken by Congress. "The poll on modification of the Volstead Act." Mr. Merritt said. “confirms other indications that there is a widespread interest in the question. The majority of votes are in favor of modification but the total votes cast are not enough to form the basis of o. conclusive opinion." -———— Leading business and industrial men from all over the state were addressed by directors of the Col- onial Air Transport, Inc., at tho Quilllleiack club, New Haven. Mon- day night. on plans for the future development of solidi transportation in Connecticut and New England, with the development of air com- munication as a public utility. Major Talbot 0. Freeman. of Hartford. treasurer and ex-com- mending officer of the 43rd Division Air service, acted as toastmuster. and in the absence of Gov, John H. Trumbull. chairman of the board. who is ill at his home. spoke for him. After describing Mayor Nor- man Stevens of Hartford as the first mayor to see his city from an aero- plane and declaring the accident which occurred when the governor flew to the Danbury fair last year as being much overdone. he led into his subject saying: “There is al- ways the liability for the failing of the engine. although a clever pilot can always bring his plane down so as not to kill himself. The incident at the Dalibury fair indicates the need for an emergency field." Lieut'.’ Governor Edward Brainard was heard in a brief message at a get-together and smoker of the Lincoln Republican club of Siam- ford. hold at Carpenter's hall. on Gay street. Monday night. The state official was enthusiasti- cally greeted by the gathering of members and friends of the organi- nation. Introduced by House Clerk Daniel I". B. Hickey. the Lieutenant-Gover- nor. who happened to be a. visitor in Stamford. expressed satisfaction that 'the Lincoln Republican club was not mythical us was evidenced. he said. by the attendance at the meeting. He brought a message of good cheer to file clubn from up- state. he said, explaining "up-slate," as east of Bridgeport. He urged cooperation and continued interest. which he said would win out for the cause of the organization and put Stamford on the map. Personal Liberty (From a letter in the New York ' Times.) When all of us enter into modern civilized liberties of many kinds. great and small. on all hands. The liberty of taking alcohol as u‘ bcv-i crago is only one of them. If we wish to emulate the distinguished examples of Samuel Taylor Coler- idge and Thomas Dc Quiuccy by becoming addicts to opium. we find the doors closed to us; we must, vio- late laws. If we desire to imitate more degraded examples and devote ourselves to heroin and cocaine. we’ must traffic with tho vilost kind of bootlcggers. If we wish to burn down our own houses. on our own property. even if they are ilot insured. we cannot do so without punishment. if uoi wish to induldge in a rouictio game with our own money rightfully earned. we are in danger of being raided by the police. unless we have arranged for protection. If We desire to drink milk in New York. city that we ourselves may regard as good enough, we cannot do so unless it meets the requirements of the board of health. even though wa’ think iliom finicky and superfluous. If we wish to send our children to school unvacclnated. even if we do not approve of vaccination. We can- not. If we wish to keep a pig in New York city. our own pig. even the cleanest, on our own property. we may not do so. If we wish to re- present an Irishman on the stage with green whiskers. we are forbid- den this ill-natured but compara- tively harmless amusement—unless the ordinance against it has been repealed; I am not sure whether it has been or not. If we find life in- surportabie apd wish to end it. per- haps to the advantage of everybody concerned. we can do so only by \do. iating the law. .

Mosquitoes breed in any standing or slowly running water. Malaria bearing mosquitoes like shallow pools. protected by shade. grass or other vegetation, such as may be found in poorly drained ditches. marshy places in the woods. hoof prints of cattle and horses along the edge of a creek. hog wallows and sometimes troughs and barrels. Mosquitoes lay their eggs on such bodies of water. These ens hatch into larvae or “wiggle fails." then into pupae. and finally change into mosquitoes. Nine to fifteen days is required for this development. To get rid of such standing water, subsoil drains, the filling up of law places and tho emptying of water containers at least once each week are necessary. I Kerosene oil poured on the water. one to two ounces for every 15 square feet of surface may he em- ‘ployed to kill the “wiggle fails." I n a former article you Wore iold something about quinine. Many farmers already know that quinine when properly used is a specific in curing the disease, and also in pre- venting it. | The active symptoms of malaria are easily controlled by the proper administration of quinine. but up- fortunately the individual who suf- fers from malaria does not usuully keep it. up long enough to Iron his system entirely of malarial germs. As a result persons frequently carry the germs‘in their blood without hav- ing active symptoms of the discuss, and on being bitten by mosquitoes spread the infection. Cannot Discover “Flu” Germ —- One Attack Does Not Immunizc Victim Against A Repetition. (By State Department of Health) The presence of mild influenza in various pelvis of the state serves as a reminder that our knowledge of this disease is as yet not complete. Prior to the epidemic of 1918. a germ known as Fielder bacillus was thought to be the cause of the dis- ease, but studies during the epi- demic have failed to confirm this suspicion. Another germ called Bacterium pneumoslnles has been brought under suspicion, but. ii. is merely a load and its possible rela- tion to influenza is not proven. Thus. the germ causing the disease is not known. We do know however. how influenza is spread. Epidemiological studies indicate that one attack of influenza does not confer immunity as usually follows an attack of scarlet fewer. measles or smallpox. An attack may possibly afford some protection for a. short time. but immunity is not last- ing. Some observers agree that persons who had influenza in 1918 were not protected against what all- peared to be the same disease in milder form 16 months later in 1920. Influenza is spread mainly by human contact in the early stages of the malady or possibly before symp- toms. becomc. pronounced.- The rapidity of spread and other features are most easily explained by sup- posing that the germs of the disease leave thebody wth discharges from the nose and throat.

What Doctors Know. dbout The Influenza' measure that appears to odor much hope of having preventive value. That measure is limiting the op- portunities for exposure to the dis- ease. In a devastating epidemic like the one of 1918. early and rigid limitations on the inter-mingling of people might be expected to have two favorable results. One would be to slow up the rate at which the disease is transmitted from one to another. thus spreading the out- break over a longer period of time and giving the medical and nursing forces a. better chance to cope with the situation. The other would be the hope that by the slower passage of the germ or virus from one per- son to another its virulence would be reduced and the severity of the cases accordihgly lessened. HAVING NO SPECIFIC METHOD OF IM- MUNIZINO AGAINST INFLUENZA. THE MINIMIZING 0F CONTACT OF THE SICK PERSON WITH OTHER PEOPLE SEEMS TO BE OUR BEST MEASURE FOR COM— BATTING THE DISEASE. . IT IS APPARENT. THEREFORE. THAT RESPONSIBILITY F 0 R PREVENTION RESTS PRIMARILY UPON THE PUBLIC. : Especially is this‘trus when, as at present. the disease is top mild to warrant drastic measures by the health authorities. Persons ill with influenza should accept responsibility of protect- ing others against the infection. IT IS ADVISED. THEREFORE. THAT ANY PERSON WHO FINDS HIMSELF COMING DOWN WITH THE DISEASE. TAKE STEPS WITH THE FIRST SHOWING OI" SYMPTOMS. .TO P R. E V E N '1' SPREADING TILE INFECTION T0 OTHERS. THIS WOULD MEAN TO GET AWAY FROM EVERY- BODY ELSE AND HAVE YOUR INFLUENZA ALL TO YOURSELF. ‘ I , With influenza present in the com- munity. the out sign or symptom indicating the development ' of a “cold" should be a signal to protect your associates by.going home. iso- lating yourself in a room to protect other members of the family. and remaining ’in isolation for at least three days. -While the period our flag which the patient-may infect others is .not‘ definitely: known. the disease appears to be especially con- tagious during the early stages. and it seemsprobabie that the, danger of the disease spreading does not last lens. - ' It happens that stopping work at once. is tor‘the best interest of the patient himself. Continuing at work after symptoms develop increases the name of pneumonia which is the most serious complicetion of, in- nuenae. So. for your own sake and the sake 'of others get away from everybody and rest at the first sign of a"‘eold" that may be Masses u I| 20 YEARS AGO I ll The following items appeared in the issue of the Evening Sentinel of March 26. 1906: Norwalk sportsmen are contribut- ing to another fund to secure u. sec- ond consignment or young quail from Kansas.
