Norwich Women Advocated the Votes REPORTS ON HEALTH OF THE TOWN Dr. George Thompson Makes His Annual Summary—Infec- tious and Contagious Diseases Comparatively Few in " Past Year—Advises Vaccination for School Children— City Water in Qutside School Houses. Dr. George Thompson, town health officer for Norwich has prepared his annual report for the year ending Aug. 3, 1914, in which ®he reviews the health of the town for the past year. n reporting on the epidemic of small- pox which broke out in some sections, he makes the recommendation that all parents should have their children vaccinated at least once before school e. His report covers the following points: Scarlatina. Only three cases of this disease were reported and each in a different section of the town. As there was no discoverable means of communication between them, I think I am safe in say- ing - there were no secondary cases from cither. The Ister- epidemics of this aisease have shown many malig- nant cases and the mortality has been much higher than for many vears. 1 cannot urge too strongly the necessi- ty of reporting its occurrence that it may be strictly and promptly quaran- tined. z > Typheid Fever. Only two cases of this disease were reported. beth of which were cared for at the Backus Hospital; they occurred in different sections of the town #hd in one case the source of infection was quite definitely located. Measlea, fnly one case was reported. Diphtheria. Three cases were reported, one of hich was the formerly so seaded croupous” forin; oll three recovered.

Five cases were reported; this is a small numbr and it is probablé that there are other unreported cases. There has been so much said and Y| written_about this disease recently that it hardly seems necessary to make any recammendations in this report other than to urge the importance of reporting them by the attending phy- sielans. . Smalipor. During the early part of October an epidemic of smallpox broke out in Oc- cum_ which was directly traceable to an unrecognized case from Danielson visiting in Versailles. This epldemic was quickly controlled so far as Oc- cum was concerned, but it later ap- pearsd in Taftville where it attalned considerable headway, necessitating a seneral vaccination: and it was only after this was carried out that it was 7 BEQUESTS IN WILL OF MRS.

Thursday morning at 445 o'clock extra freight 1398, bound for New London, was derailed near the Mont- ville station, due to the dropping of the equalizing bar and spring hanger on the engine. The bar and hanger dropped near Yantle and, drasging along the tracks, wrecked the switches as the engine passed over them. Four switches were wrecked in this oity, but none of the wrecked switches caused any trouble here. The wreck- ing of the Montville switch was suffi- cient to cause the derailment of the train. The len%d the forward trucks of one car thrown off the irons. - Conductor Montgomery was in charge of the derailed train. The office of Superintendent Mc- Craw in New London was notified and a wrecking crew was soon on the scens of the accident. The tender and car were put back on the irons with- out much difieulty and delay. The only train to be affected was the early morning train leaving New Lon- don” at 4.45 northbound, which was gent over the New Haven road to Norwich. —_— FIRST BAPTIST CRADLE ROLL. Annual Reception Proved a Delight- ful Affair. The Cradle Roll department of the First Baptist Bible school held its an- nual reception at the church Monday afternoon from three to five o'clock. It bejng an ideal day for such a gath- ering there was a good number of the bables and mothers present. The programme consisted of a so- elal hour, after which~there was a short entertainment consisting of an address and Toll call of members, by the Credle Roll superintendent, Minnie E. Wilson, words of welcome by Helen Tourtellotie, His First Speech, by Donald Royce, solo, Our Cradle Roll, by Mrs. Louis Wheeler Like a Sun- beam, Justine Briggs Be Polite, by Robert Burke..

The gSuperintendent was assisted by Mrs. Fred Wilson. Mrs. Harry How- Ard and Nng, Wnitog ligheins stopped. Twenty cases in all were re- ported, but it is probable that there Wwere o great many more either con- cealed or unrecogmized. Only one- of the twenty claimed to @ave been suc- cessfully vaccinated during the past twenty years, and investigation of that case throws doubt upon the statement thaf it was a successful vaceination. This is the second epidemic of small- pox that I havc witnessed and been interested In, and in the former there was 1o single case that claimed to have been successfully vaccinated dur- ing the previous twerdty years, If we are to form any conclusion from these facts, it is that vaccination does pre- vent ‘the spread of this disease. Like all of the epidemics of this disease af late, the general tvpe was mild, onjy ihree cases epproaching the severe form, but we have no assurange from this that it will continue mild in its manifestations; the next outbreak may wke on its most malignant aspects. For this reason urge all parents to have their children vaccinated at least once before school age. There were in all over thirteen hundred school children and mill operatives vaccin- ated, outside of those who were vacci- nated by their family physician. .The expense to the town for these vacci- nations, added to the expense of carlng for the Ger part of those offlicted, inspections, watchmen, fomigation of houses, etc., must\amount to & consi erable sum. The loss in a busin: way to a town known to be thus flicted must be quite appreciable. But above all material loss is the danger Jo lfe which may result from care- lessness in utilizing all means possi- ble for prevention. Nuisances. Stx nuisances were reported and all abated promptly. The law relating to slaughter-houses passed at the iast session of the Legiglature gives much needed authority to health officers and is very effective in dealing with badly located or carelessly conducted places, The ‘several schoolhouses of the town have been inspected carefully and were found to Le in fine condition from a sanitary standpoint. The in- troduction of city water into the Bean Hill echoolhouse removes a corstant source of danger to the pupils of that school who were formerly obliged to depend on mneighboring wells for their drinking water. It is to be hoped that this will lead to the installation of modern, sanitary toilets in this school building. The same improvement, while pérhaps not so necessary in the Bast Great Plain district because of the smaller attendance would Wever- theless be very desirmble: I hope to see them installed in both of these school buildings in the near future. LETTER FROM MUNICH WHILE ‘WAR CLOUDS ROSE Written by Mrs. Leslie Bissell, For- merly Miss Jane White of Norwich bis 2 In a “diary Tetter”] published this month in the\Washington, D. C. Evening Star, a vivid picture of war conditions in Germany is given which will have more than usual local in- terest as the letter was written from Munich, Bavaria, by Mrs. Leslie Bis- soll, who- before her marriage was Miss Jane H. White of Norwich Town, and who has been living in Germany for six years. Extracts from her letter follow: “August 2, 1814—I don’t know when I shall be able to send you a letter. I wrote you a week ago, but fear that it will never resch you, as all mails Thopthe past week have been irregular. Yesterday I sent you a postcard, writ- ten in German and carefully worded, as that is the order here now—no sealed letters can cross the' German Dborder and all communications must be written in German. “We are in the midst of an appall- ing calamity and entirely cut off from friends and country! ¥ shall write you something each day and at the first opportunity will send the letter. This terrible whirlwind of war has come so quickly, #o suddenly, that it is al- most unbelievable and more like a nightmare than a reality. A week ugo yesterday the full seri- cusness of the situation came upon us. There were demonstrations in the streets and cafes the entire day. Patri- otic songs were heard everywhere and. cpeeches were made in the public squares. Great sympathy for Austria was expressed on all sides. The Breathless Wait. Through this past week events have foliowed each other with _incredible rapidity: TFirst, the mobilization of Austria, then the breathless wait for 'Servia’s answer to Austria’s ultima- tum, every one hoping against hope that at the eleventh hour péace could be made. Then Servia's declaration of war came, then the anxlous waiting for Russia’s reply and the preparation of the German army. No answer from Russia! And then the order for the mobilization of Ger- many. Again & terrible walt of twen- ty-four hours for Russia’s answer to the German ultimatum—war declared! Oh, what the excitement has besn this last week no words can express. For two days the food supply ran short with us. All mails are cut off: we have not had a letter for more than & week. No telegrams or out- side communications can be sent without official permsision, and then they must be written in German. All Jetters sent sealed are opened and read and returned to the sender. The banks are crowded with people wait- ing to draw out all the money they have deposited. All trains are in use for the transportation of the soldiers. All to the Front. One cannot get_out of Munich for love or money! Soldiers are march- ing to the bahnhof (station) day and night. Every man under forty-flve years of age must go. Our baker, our butcher, our hausmeister—every one has gone to ficht. Oh, the heart- breaking leavetakings one sees on all sides!

K I fell asleep this afteroon for a few moments and was awakened by a military band playing “Die Wacht am Rhine.” 1 looked out of the window and saw a regiment of the schwer leiter (heavy cavalry) starting on its way.

Many of the local people are won- dering about the prices of certaln drugs that have been raised and through the local druggists it is learn- ed that the ecffect on the prices of drugs is due to the war waging through Europe. Quite 4 pumber of our common drugs and acids are fm- ported from the other shore and the following are some of the common drugs and acids that have been raised in prices by wholesalers: morphine, opium, quinine, cocaine, menthol, bal- ladona, carbolic acid, citric eeld, ox- alic acld, quick silver, arsemic, ben- ezoate of soda and saccherine.
