Action on Health of Borough
Taken at Meeting of Board
This Week.
Special to the EVKXtNG NEWS.
Roosevelt, Sept. 18.—The Board
of Health held their regular meeting
Monday night. Those present were:
Edward J. Hiel, president; C. C.
Sheridan. Thomas Devereux, R. J.
Murphy, Frank Born, inspector.
The report of the inspector was re
ceived and approved. Many com
plaints were received and the inspec
tor instructed to have the said com
plaints abated. Printed cards with f
the sanitary laws governing the pure ;
food acts, drnty, medicines and !
where non-alcoholic beverages are
sold and prepared, are to be placed
in all stores. The inspector was in
structed to see that this is done. The
laws must be strictly enforced. Any
member of the board is liable to a
$25 tine for neglect to enforce said
laws.
The report from the Registrar of
Vital Statistics stating that there are
applications from many parents for
birth certificates for their children
in order to be admitted to school,
and he finds that the names of many
do not appear on the register, which
no doubt is the fault or neglect of
the midwife or physician, who is in
attendance at birth of child. The
law distinctly states every pliysl
,cian or midwife present at the birth
of any child born in this state, shall
transmit within five days after 3uch
birth a certificate of such birth to
the registrar of vital statistics. For
failure of doing so the fine for this
violation is $50. The board is go
ing to make an investigation on
cases of this kind and any physician
or midwife guilty of this failure will
be prosecuted.
All cases of refuse vaults who do
not conform with the sanitary code,
will have to completely remove same
and sanitary apparatus installed
thereof. This order will be strictly
enforced.

AILMENTS OF BABiES ABE
NOW EASILY PREVENTABLE
(Prepared by the Children's Bureau, U. S. 1
Department of .Labor.)
It is no doubt true, many times, that
a fretful, unhappy baby is made so
quite unnecessarily, and instead of
rocking or patting him, or walking up
and down with him in her arms, or
possibly giving him a dose of medicine
to quiet him, the mother should seek
the cause of his discomfort and re
move It.
It may be that the baby is thirsty.
There is no doubt that babies fre
quently suffer from thirst. It is nec
essary, particularly In summer, to
give plenty of drinking water to all
children who are too young to get it
for themselves. A drink of water will
often satisfy a fretful baby and some
times it is all that Is needed to send
a restless one ofT into quiet sleep.
One of the most frequent sources of
misery for the baby is found in his
clothing, especially in hot weather,
when any clothing is a burden to him
to wear. So many babies are over
dressed that it is no wonder they
fret. Compelled to wear woolen un
derwear, knitted socks, stiffly starched
caps and dresses it is only natural
that they should protest vigorously.
Neither wool nor starch has any place
in the clothing of the baby in hot
weather.
One or the troubles rrom wmcn a
baby often suffers is prickly heat. This
ailment appears as a fine red rash
usually on the neck and shoulders and
gradually spreads to the head, face
and arms. It is caused by overheat
ing, due either to hot weather or to
the fact that the baby is too warmly
dressed. The rash comes and goes
with the heat, and causes intense
Itching. The remedy for it is to take
off all the clothing and give the baby
a sponge bath in tepid water in which
common baking soda has been dis
solved. Use one tablespoonful of soda
to two quarts of water. Use no s&ap,
and do not rub the skin, but pat it
dry with a soft towel. After the skin
is thoroughly dry, dust the inflamed
surfaces with a plain talcum powder.
This ailment, like all others, is more
readily prevented than cured. Fre
quent cool baths, very little clothing,
simple food and living in cool rooms,
or in the open air will probably save
the summer baby from much of the
annoyance of prickly heat and other
more serious ills.
Fat babies are very apt to sufTer
from chafing, especially in hot weath
er. It appears as a redness of the
skin in the buttocks or in the arm
pits, or wherever two skin surfaces
persistently rub together.
Much the same treatment is re
quired as in prickly heat. Never use
soap on an Inflamed skin. Instead use
a soda, bran or starch bath, as ad
vised In a former article. Directions
for these baths are given in a pu' :ca
tion called "Infant Care," which can
be had, free of charge, by address
ing a request to the Chief of the Chil
dren's bureau, U. 8. Department of La
bor. Washington, D. C.
Great care should be taken not to
let the baby scratch the skin, when
it is Irritated. Sift together two
parts powdered cornstarch and one
part boric acid, and U9e It freely on
the chafed parts. Remove wet or
soiled diapers at once. Wash and dry
the flesh thoroughly, then dust the
Dowder freely between the legs.

No Cause for Action Against
Boy Said to Have Cut Cow
in the Leg.
rriut to the EYBSIKV SEr*'H.
Matawan, Sept. 18:—Recorder
Hiliiard Low heard two cases Thurs
day, one a hearing and the other a
trial by jury.
in the afternoon in the meeting
room of the Washington Engine
Company, he heard a case between
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animale and Charles Guis.
It seems that one Mary Short i;as
a cow, and she claimed that the Gins
lad, a boy not yet in his teens, ha·!
thrown a bottle and cut tiie cow's les
The case had fallen into the hands of
the S. P. C. A. of Red Bank and
they were prosecuting young Guss
under the cruelty to animals law.
Veterinary Surgeon Dr. William Gail,
of Matawan, testified that the cut on j
the cow's leg was not caused ·>>* a
bottle, and the jury, which was only
out a very few minutes, brought in a
verdict of not guilty.
Thursday night at 8 o'clock a
hearing had been set for Charles
Walling, of Price street. The com
plaint was made against Wallinij by
Special Officer Harry 0. Waiters for
the part he had taken in the fight \
at the Matawan station of the New
York and Long Branch railroad on j
Labor Day afternoon, when Officer
Walters had been beaten up.
When it came time for the case to
he called, Mr. Walling appeared with
his witnesses, but Officer Walters
failed to put ·η an appearance, as he
had been called to Κ export. Re
corder Low heard Mr. Wa'lirg's side !
of the matter, who said he was try
ing to help Mr. Walters, and .lis w't- ;
nesses testified that Mr. Walling had
never been in any trouble before,
was a peace-loving citizen and lad j

missed the case.
KILL ENEMY OF BÂ81ES
IN CAMPAIGN ON FLIES
(Prepared by tb« t'hildren'e Burfflo, United
States Depariment of Labor)
No one likes to have a single fly
and, much less, a swarm of them buzz
Ing about him. or lighting on his food.
But in addition to being - nuisance,
the fly is also a real source of danger,
owing to the fact that he may carry
the germs of disease from the sick to
the well. Typhoid fever is known t«
be distributed in this way, and it it
believed that other forms of illness,
including diarrhea, are also carried
about on the hairy feet and legs of the
ordinary house or "typhoid" fly
On this account, it is especially the
baby who needs to be protected from
flies. Awake or asleep, he needs it.
His milk should be kept out of their j
reach, and his bed or his sleeping !
room should be carefully screened
against them, if it is not possible to
have the whole house and the porch
screened.
The flies that get into the house in
spite of screens should be trapped,
poisoned or swatted, but far more ef- i
fective than any of these measures is
that of destroying the fly larvae before
they hatch into full-grown files
The favorite breeding place if the
common house fly is in horse manure.
In a pile of a thousand pounds there
may be half a million maggots ready
to hatch, unless they are destroyed in
the larval stage, as the eggs aro
called.
ν ai iuus auuaiauvcs ua»o uctu oug
gested for use upon horse manure in
order to destroy the fly maggots.
Among these are iron Bulphate, kero
sene, chloridB of lime, hellebo'-e and
borax. Some of these are too expen
sive for continued use. and some, such
as borax, when ueed in too large quan
tities. may be injurious to the crops
upon which the manure so treated ie
used.
The United States department of
agriculture has recently recommended
powdered hellebore as a cheap, safe
and effective substance for the treat
ment of manure. "One-half pound *»t
powdered hellebore mixed with tea
gallons of water is sufficient to kill the !
larvae in eight bushels, or ten cubic
feet of manure. In most places helle
bore is obtainable in 100-ppund lots at
a cost of 11 cents a pound. This makes
the cost of the treatment a little less
than seven-tenihs of a cent per bushel
of manare. A liberal estimate of the
output of manure is two bushels a day
per horse."
After thê summer has advanced, the
effort must be made to keep each indi
vidual home as free from the pest as
can be done with screens, fly papers,
traps and swatters.
Garbage pails must be kept cov
ered, aud no refuse of any sort should
be allowed to accumulate about the
premises, to provide breeding and
feeding places. As In most other
things, prevention is far better than
cure; the time for preventive meas
ures to be most effective is in April
and May, when the fly crop is small.
There are a great many kinds of fly
traps on the market. Such traps can
be made at home with little trouble,
end th^ department of agriculture,
Washington, will send directions upon
request not only for traps, but for
methods of destroying the eggs be
fore they hatch into flies. (A home
made fly trap for 20 cents, and Bulle
tin 245.)
