o KEEP WELL, HELP THE HEALTH BOARD ack of Co-operation Tnvites Spread of Disease Under the caption of “keeping the | Monthly Bulletin of | vell the he health department, issued today, well,” ays: One of the greatest obstacles to the of he lack of co-operation because the alue of health conservation is not ap- preciated by many members of the ommunity. The question of personal convenience and expense is dwelt ppon rather than the benefit to be lerived by making the city more ealthful. At times it appears as hough there were a wilful desire to clittle consclentious efforts of the Jepartment to secure the health rights f others. “Sometimes the necessary measures o safeguard health are irksome to arry out, as in the passing epidemic pf paralysis; yet such measures as jnay tend to protect the health of the jority must be adhered to regard- ess of the peevishness exhibited by ome people. An active board o health is fully aware of the primary Jnconvenience caused by its orders. ikewise, it is aware of the invariable atisfaction caused to all when the rder is complied with. “The greatest benefit is 'ved from an apparent hardship. ake the ool attendance for in- tance: The matter of reducing school ttendance by the keeping of probable rriers of contagious diseases out of chool for a short period of time in rder to safeguard the well, may ap- ear a hardship to those affected, but o thinking person would risk the anger of school epidemics merely to crease school attendance by a frac- fional degree To do so might halve e attendance. #No official, whether he be official £ health, police, school, fire, or any ther department, has any right to ait until the worst has occurred be- re acting. “The education of the public in the re of keeping well is a work worth bhile. If you are one who appreciates Jhe value of health, help your com- unity by word and action. “Up to October 1st, fourteen cases f infantile paralysis have been re- orted in New B: n, Nearly all the lases have been very mild ones, and hs have occurred among them.

GLYNN AT HARTFORD Former Governor of New York to Ad- turn dre: Gathering at Parsons’ Thea- ter on October 17, George M. Landers, state central committeeman, has received word that ex-Governor Martin F. Glynn of New York will be among the speakers at Parsons’ theater, Hartford, on Oc- tober 17.

It was ex-Governor Glynn who delivered the electrifying keynote address at the democratic national convention at St. Louis at which Pres- ident Wilson was renominated. He is one of the greatest orators of the day and great personal influence was necessary to secure his servic Mr. Landers and other prominent state democrats met ex-Governor Glynn at the national convention and used all the moral suasion at their commanad | to pursuade him to come to this state.

Mayor George A. Quigley received the following telegram from Captain H. F, Ladbury of Company I last night, sent from Nagales, Arizona: “Regiment leaves tonight or to- morrow. Companies D, E and I go- ing direct to New Britain. Muster out. Company I with mounts. Trip will prabably take seven to nine days. Route via New Orleans, Cincinnati gnd New York.” Private advices from Nogales state that a number of the New Britain sol- diers have purchased horses for them- selves from ranchmen in Arizona, so it is possible that the phrase ' “with mounts’” refers to this. The men will not go to Niantic but will be mustered out in this city. The executive committee of the Soldiers’ Relief committee has on hand $493 which will be used toward a fitting welcome demonstration when the boys come marching back. The tentative plans for the celebration in- clude a big parade, in case the sol- Giers arrive in the evening, and red fire will be burned plentifully. All automobile owners are asked to make arrangements where passible to get into the parade. Headed by a band the soldiers, including Company B of Bristol, will march to the armory, where refreshments will be served. Mayor Quigley, W. W. Bullen and T. ‘W. O’Connor are a committee on mu- sic. Stores and buildings will be decorated and automobile owners are asked to do likewise with their ma- chines, It is also expected that the rejected soldiers who are home will get out their old uniforms and take part in the demonstration.
