Infantile Paralysis

Dr, McCti:tsugh, Provincial Chief burned, boiled or disinfected.
If the disease shows a,ny ten-
dency to spread special quarantine
measures may be. necessary,
Officer of Health, Advises
Prompt Measures
Toronto, July 11-Olb3cr,'iieg the
legend 'that an ounce of preven-
tion is 'better than re pound of
cure," Dr. J.W;S, 'McCullough, Pro
vincial Chief ,Officer of Health, yee 1
terday issued a warning . Jbulletin
urging citizens throughout •Ontar
io to guard against the possibility.
of an outbreak ht infantile para-
lysis which is raging en some
cities in the United' States. Majoi
McCullough stated that in ore
town en Ontario—the name of
which he did not care to disclose"
—several cases ha.d'been reported
while othere are suspected,
"While the cause of the disc:Ise
isas yet unknowne'said Msjor Mc-
Cu11ough "it is believed that in-
fantile paralysis is spread from
one child to another by means of
the secretions of the nose and
mouth by direct transfer, It is
possible also that it is spread by
flies which have been in contact
intestinal discharges, • It may
become widespread in country as
lwellas in crowded city districts,
and persons who have 'been in con
tact with cases of the disease !nay
harbor the cootaj•ion and give it
to others without contracting the
disease themselves. That is, they
are ''carriers''
Dr. McCullough's Suggestions
Major McCullough' suggests
that ,the following methods be
adopted to avoid an epidemic;--
1. Every case must be quaran-
tined for a period of 6 weeks,
2. All children Who have been in
contact With a case must be quara'n
tined andkept under observation
dor a period of two weeks,
3. Adult members o:•the family
who are wage earners may be al-
lowed to go about their work sub-
ject Ito the regulations or the
provincial board and on the dis-

Carload of Soap
Hint for Clintonions who Would
Like to Please Boys of 161st
—Washboards too.
From a private letter we take the
following pert %IAA, refers t, the dust
and dirt at Camp Bolden: The look
steed 'is Pike what comes out of P. mould
Inc shop, so imagine say, 40,000 men
marching through that When we got
hack to am camp we looked like a lot
of men who had been cleaning out
chiruneps, officers and all, for the black
sand is no respecter of persons. We
were so black and dusty we were given
this afternoon to clean up for tomor-
row and there was a mad rush for the
bathe, The buys were scrambling for
a place to do their washing and many
amother's son who never did it before
was into the game for all he was worth.
If any person should ask yuu what
you think would be nice to send to the
boys tell them a carload of soap and
washboards for it is ten absolute iniposs
Ihility to keep clean lire tninutee here,
For instaa.ce look 15 the IL•tck on the
paper I am using and I just deme from
the tent with it The air up here is
great and the drinking water fine.
The sanitary arrangements are all that
could be desire+', the only thaw hacks
are only the dirty black and no place
to go, When you clean up you are
like a man who has been defeated in
an election, -all dr.esed up but no
place to go."

Alberta's New Liquor Law
Tlie liquor law which went into
elfeet fn the hrpvince orAaberta00
July 1st, prohibits the sale be all
kinds of spirits for, beverage pur-
poses, ,Importations !from other
Provinces' are permitted, The Cal-
gary News -Telegram :sums up the
main points of the new law ,as
sollows,—
,Outside of the vendors to be
.a.ppointed by the Government,
sheriff+,, common carriers and the
like, the only persons entitled to
possess liquors are; occupants of
private dwelling, not including
boarding houses, twho may keep a
quart of spirits and ¶two. gallon3
of malt liquor; 'persons eelgaged
regularly in mechanical business or
in scientific pursuits, who may
keep 10 gallons of alcohol; nhysi-
Selens, who may keep one, pint;
veterinary su:•geons, who may
keep a gallon: and 'druggists and
ministers of the gospel, who may,
apparanay, keep an unlimited
amount,
Whiee it 15 allowalble to import
liquor from outside the province,
the only parties ;allowed to sell
liquor in Alberta for Consump-
tion in Alberta are government
vendo,a and druggists pn p,eserip-
tion. This, of course, does not
apply to sales 'by the Sheriff, nor
the sales by brewers and others in
.Alberta to buyers outside of Al-
berta,
According to the Act, the only
persons the government vendors
may self to are those buying it for
mechanical, ruedic;n.tl, scientific
and sacramental Purposes. The
vendor is authorized to • eel(
'liquor to those who desire it for
mechanical oe scientific purposes,
only upon affidavit :that itis to be
,used exclusively dor these 'purpos-
es and not or consumption as a
beverage. Druggists* physicians

however, may' be supplied dor sac-
ramental 'purposes Zvi th any a-
mount, seemingly. upon amore
written request no affidavit being
'necessary,
Druggists and physicians ineY re-
tail email quantities pf,liquor, the
former only on physicians' p c-
a 3 t u
ecriP�°t n ..and the -atter ly when
hen
,he really 'believes itnecessary for
the patient, in 'both oases, a cem-
plete ,record of the transaction,
with the name end address; of the
purchaser, must be repotted lo the
government. A dentist may Sive
a small drink out of the pint he is
allowed to keep, if he really 'be-
lieves it necessary,
-,Occupants of private houses,ap-
parently, may treat 'friends out of
the small private istoek allowed
them, unless the friend or friends
be under 21 years of age, when a
physician's prescription is neces-
sary. A man, not ;adoctor, dentist
or veterinary surgeon, may not
keep ailask in his office, apparent_
ly, nor may be regale a friend with
liquor anywhere outside of his pri-
vate dwelling place
'Heavy penalties are imposed for
any vendors, druggists, physicians
or veterinaries who dispose of
liquor for other purposes than is
permitted by the act, A private
person who keeps in his' home
more than a quart of spirits or a
gallon of malt liquor is, apparently,
hialble, ,on summary conviction, for
the first pffence, to a fine of
trona $50 to 1100, Orin default of
tmmeditae pryufent, tot,•om ens to'
two months' inrprisonment. A
second conviction, even though it
be for some other offence under
the act, 'w411be punished even more
severely.
Anyone, apparently, may lay an
information Against anyone else
and the police have `tfuli authority
to enforce any of the provisions
of this act.' Seemingly this
means that a prosecution may be
initiated very easily.
Once a map is convicted, there
is no appeal, finless he Miles first
an affidavit within five days ab-
solutely pegating the charge and
making it appear (to render im-
possible any purely technical or
legal ground of appeal., The pro-
secution. however. may appealthe
naso within 15 d'a,Ys after the Gate
at dismissal, 4n cases where the
naalgistraete has : discharged the
'accused. )
The usual order or legal ,proce-
dure' in prosecutions is reverseain
the liq
uoract, whichprovides
th
that
"the burden al proving the right
to have or keep liquor, or sell or
give liquor shall be on the per-
s'on aecuoed of improperly or un
1aifv'fully having or keeping or
giving such liquor?' In another
section, itis provided that, if
prima naris proof is given, when a
person had ,such liquor in his pos-
session or contro], it is incumbent
upon him to prove ,that he clid not
commit the offence.
The ant also provides that the
charge appearing in the informa-
tion, summons or warrant, need
not specid'y the kind, quantity or
price of liquor alleged to be in-
volved ,in the case, nor the names
of persons, other' than the accused,
connected ;with the transaction.
This provision is strengthened by
ano'.hex' c]rune which p. °vides that
in cases where the evidence does
not support the charge laid, the
magistrate may amend the infor-
mation to fit evidenee,
