BALDWIN. By His Excellency’'s command: MATTHEW H. ROGERS, Secretary —— RHODE ISLAND’S SMALLPOX EPI- DEMIC. It is natural that Providence should he somewhat disturbed upon waking te the fact that there are gver half a hundred cases of smalipox in the Paw- tuxet valley and no one knows how it happened. It is clear enough to an person that it happened because medical or health guards were wary enough, and the disease had short run without its true character heing suspected. The Bulletin would say right here for the benefit of those who complain when the community is menaced by smalipox that the doctors are quaran- tining chickenpox that it is much bet- ter for the community to have chicken- pox quarantined and labeled by mis- rake than to have smalilpox unidenti- fied and spreading until schools have ts be shut up and industries closed down. The feeble attempt made to blame s=chool teachers for the spread of the disase is really an insult to intelli- gence. If the doctors were not aware of its presence, how could the teach- ers prevent the exposure of the whole cemmmunity to the contagion?” As bad as the situation is over in Rhode Island. there is no reason why there should be any fear excited along the Connecticut border. It will not be strange if the disease gets out of Paw- tuxet valley into the emill villages of adjoining stares: but the medical men and health officers are on the alert and ill quickly have the disease quaran- tined. Tn these days of precaution and ex- pert methods there is no danger of such a general epidemic of the disease as ravaged thickly populated commun- ities a century and a half ago. intelligent the not a COMMON DRINKING CUP MUST GO The law of Connecticut will make an end of the common drinking cup after January 1, 1912, in the interest of public health. This law prohibiting cemmon cup for the people lic places, reads as follows “It shall be unlawful on and after January 1, 191 to provide a common | Arinking cup in, or upon the premises, | of any public building, hotel, restau- rant, theater, public hall, schoolhouse or ‘store; and in any,6 public park, , railroad station, railroad car or | steamboat.” The schoolroom waterpail is by decree made unlawful and the bubbling the use of a in all pub- this | fountain, which is not expensis should be installed in the schoolhouse and be operated ‘n specified hours for the anenc thirst. Dr. Townsend, secretary of the state board of health, says: “Almost all of the meodern schools have installed drinking devices that do not depend | upon cups to give the children water. Many of the parks in Connecticut have ong ago done away with the public fountain, while many of, the first class hotels, halls and restauran e eith- er abolished public drinking places al- together or have given an adequate supply of drinking glasses that are carefully washed after each time used.” | This is a matter which should be norme in mind by all school authori- nes. g REVENUE CUTTERS TO BE ARMED The treasury department has decided to make the revenue cutter service more formidable coast guard and more efficient as a police service along shore. since they have to deal with smug- zlers and others who are often prompt- ed to fight rather than surrender. Under the new rules the batteries will all be uniform; and the revenue | cutters will go to sea twice a year for target practice so that they may shoot to hit when necessity requires it. The 77 guns now aboard the revenue cut- ters represent as many different types. These are to be dome away with so that uniformity or a standard in tar- 3et practice may be acquired. The revenue cutter service has 1,500 men and 240 officers and in a pinch, AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS. The state highway commission of Massachusetts reports to the governor a proportional decrease in motor car- riage accidents in that state the past year. The commission's figures disclose that during the past 11 mbnths, since December 1, 1910, there have been in Massachuseits about 100 deaths as a result of motor vehicle accidents and nearly 1,100 cases of more or less se- rious injury. During the previous full year there were only deaths and 963 serious injuries from this-cause. ‘While this shows an increase for this year of approximately per cent. in the number of fatal accidents' and 15 per cent, in accidents resulting in in- juries, there has been a coincident in- “Come ov and see our new piano, | break my back a fsw more times!
