He says: “If this | order is not complied with when the schools open, I shall see, through or- ders from the county and state offi- clals, that all unvaccinated children | are excluded from school.

PLAINVILLE NE WS HOUSING SITUATION | BECOMING NORMAL New Homes Bemg Built Ald Greatly mfiR@qg Problem FESTIVAL PLANS COMPLETED | Fnl(-smln Urges Selectmen to Buy Voting Machine—Triangle Laundry to be Sold— G. A. R. Con- New vention—Items, Step by step the housing problem in Plainville is beginning to take on a favorable appearance. A short time ago, the housing situation had reach- ed a serious point, but with constant erection of houses every day and peo- ple of the town realizing the necessity of more quarters fof the increasing population, spare rooms have been made over and turned into places for boarders. With the number of families and laborers coming into town to seek employmert, several of the local fac- tories have been building houses and arranging for places to live. One local enterprising factory has a man whose | duty it is to interview people regard- ing the accommodation of their em- ployes. This system has met with con- siderable success. Tenement owners now call at the factory office notify- ing them that they have a room that can be used and notices are placed in the factory. Anybody desiring to ac- cept the offer for quarters can do so by calling at the place mentioned. This has helped greatly in overcom- ing the recent shortage for rgom. The Standard Steel and Bearings Inc. have placed more than 500 of their emploves and their families in living quarters wthin a short fime. Rents from $18 a month and up, to meect the requirements of the tenants, have been secured. Several of their employes from Bristol, New Britain and surrounding cities and towns have notified them of their wish to make Plainville their future home and live there permanently if rents can be found suitable to their needs. Plain- ville is growing in population every day. The Trumbull Electric Mfg. Co. has undertaken to build a number of new hames and fully 47 or more are at present beng constructed in the eastern vicinity of the town The new street, Linden street, is fast building up and with houses completed there, relief is looked for on the rent ques- tion. The Plainville Business and Im- provement Association has aided con- siderably in settling the housing de- mand and the committee on the Pub- lic Utilities submit monthly reports regarding the situation. Plainville’s Voting Machines Selectman William interviewed yesterds by an agent from Jamestown, > in an en- deavor to sell the town a new voting machine. With the possibility of the women being granted the privilege of voting, the new machine will be a necessity, according to the salesman. However, Selectman Johnson did not deem it advisable to have the added expense to the town in buying an ex- tra machine, considering the fact that Plainville now possesses two. These machines are all that is needed for the voting population at the present time. They can take care of 1,200, taking 600 on each machine. There being only 800 in all that are eligible voters in the town, they are easily taken care of. When asked to give an estimate of about how many women would be eligible to vote should it come to pass, Selectman Johnson laughed heartily and said “Too many." J. Johnson was Festival Tomorrow. The local Women's Relief Corps will give an ice cream festival tomor- row afternoon at the home of Mrs. F. F. White at the corner of Broad and Whiting streets. The sale will be conducted between 2 and 5 o’'clock. The proceeds of the sale will be given to the Relief Corps Home in Crom- well. A large attendance is antici- pated. as all other festivals previous to this have met with great suc- cess. To Buy Laundry. Although nothing definite has been settled, as yet, several persons from Bridgeport have been looking over the Triangle laundry on Whiting street with prospects in view of purchasing it. The present owners, William oats' and Lynn Hamm, Have been conducting it successfully for the past several months. The laundry has a large trade and is well situated in the business center of the town. To Attend G. A. R. Convention. The veterans of the Grand Army have received notices of the annual] convention and G. A. R. encampment that is to be held in Indianapolis this vear. Letters of information with the train schedule and railway lines to take are enclosed. A special rate ot one cent a mile has been given the veterans. A few have announced their intention of going. Mrs. George Hickock, wife of George E. Hickock of 87 East Main street, will probably attend. Mrs. Hickock has relatives in Indianapolis and lived there for more than 18 years. The Encampment will be held on Septembe 19 to the 25th. Scout Mecting Tonight. The local Boy Scouts will hold their regular meeting this evening at the Scout headquarters. Plans for the ending of their drive for honorary members will be outlined. The drive has been succesrsfully conducted for | the past three weeks. The Scouts; have been assigned districts through- out the town to interview the people and a thorough canvass has been made. The Plainville busizess and Improvement association has assisted them considerably, There are at the present time about 300 or more sus- taining members to help carry on the ' good work of the orcuu:ltllon.

J. Klein, acting superinten- dent of the health department has gone into the matter of anthrax thoroughly to show the causes of in- fection, symptoms of the disease, its dangers and the necessity for im- mediate ‘ treatment by physicians in all suspicious cases. Dr Klein says: “Anthrax is an aeute, specific, in- fectious disewse caused by baciilus anthracis, and characterized by local oedema (water logging) of the tissues, inflammation and often bactrmia ia form of blood poisoning). “Anthrax is a widespread disease of the lower animals—It frequently leads to extreme devastation of*herds, cattle and sheep, especially in Russia, Siberia and other parts of Kurope where it is much more frequent than in this country. “Infection in animals is acquired by direct inoculation, , through the bites and stings of infected insects, and through feeding upon infected grain (infected by the feces of diseased animals for instance), and upon the carcasses of animals dead of the dis- ease. “Infection may be transmitted to man, directly, through the bites and stings of infected insects (flies, mos- quitoes, etc.) through the secretions of infected animals, through handling infected hides, hair or -wooi, or through the ingestion of infected food (milk, butter, meat, sausage, etc.) Infection may be acquired through a cutaneous wound (picking a pimple with needle, pin' or fingernail), through the respiratory tract, (inhal- ing infected dust), or through lhe’ intestinal tract (eating infected food). “The disease is most common among stablemen, butchers, tanners, ragpickers, haircleaners, brushmakers, etc. Most of the cases in this coun- try result from handling imported hides, hair and wool. Either the bacilli or their spores (a form of bac- terial seed) may transmit the infec- tion.
