Because of the possible danger of a
spread of leprosy. City Health Officer
Marcellus yesterday gave instructions
to attendants at the smallpox hospital,
where Dominico Pinelli, the recently
discovered leper, is isolated, to forbid
all persons to see the man without
written permission from the citv health
office. The order was given following
visits Dy physicians and others who
were attracted by curiosity and failed
to take proper precautions.
The order is said to be a rap at State
Health Officer Roberg. who has an
nounced that he will hold clinics at the
isolation tent for the benefit of per
sons Interested in the disease.
Health Officer in Clash.
The first of these was held Tuesday
afternoon. Dr. Marcellus, in making
nis oroer yesterday, said that leprosy
is a contagious disease and the isola
tion of the patient is intended as a
safeguard to the public, and for tha
reason he objects to persons going
inci-e ani oecoming exposed to the dis
ease, lie says where there is cord
reason for any person going there
written permission will be given.
Trouble between Dr. Robers and Dr
Marcellus started on Monday, when the
rormcr wrote a letter to Dr. Marcellus
informing him that leprosy is a dan
gerous disease and criticising him for
alleged neglect lo handle the case
properly. Dr. Marcellus replied with
a lotter in which he said that the case
had been handled with every precau
tion known to modern practice, and
1liat liis criticism was without cause
or excuse.
Dr. Marcellus then heard of Dr. Ro
berg's plan lo hold. clinics at the tent
where the leper is quartered. He called
liim up to ask him where he got his
permission. Dr. Koberg hung up the
telephone receiver without answering.
Dr. Marcellus avers.
Fcdprsl IriKprilors lnYi-tftigate.
It was as a result of this that Dr.
Marcellus issued the order against
persons goinx into the isolation hos
pital without hi;; written consent. He
declares that the case is one under
city supervision, and while the state
officers have a right to go there, the?
have no right to take other persona
with them.
United states Immigrant Inspector
Harbour went out to see the leper yes
terday , with an interpreter, and se
cured a written record of the man's
case from his brother, who is attend
ing him. It was found that he had
been in the United States about eight
years. Whether this places iiis case
under Federal supervision is a question
which will be investigated. It is cer
tain no attempt will be made to de
port the man because of his condition,
hut the Government may contribute to
his support.

MEALS TO COST 14 CENTS
Charles T. Trenjrrove Gets Contract
to Serve Prisoners.
After investigating and finding that
Jt would net be advisable from a finan
cial standpoint for the citv to estab
lish a kitchen at the City jail to fur
nish meals for the prisoners, a year's
contract was awarded bv the Citv Coun
ell yesterday to Charles T. Trengrove
to furnish the meals at 14 cents each
He was the only person bidding for
the contract. The price is the same
as that charged during the present
year.
The Jail Is provided with a kitchen.
Purchasing Agent Wood investigated
the posaibility of a saving by the city
engaging a cook and preparing the
meals. It was decided finally that the
plan would be unsuccessful because of
tho uncertain number of meals daily.

Oh, that Wallingford, the irrepressible, he broke loose in the papers
the other day and had all the city wondering what in the world he was
getting at. "Invest a dime in the movies and make $158,976.23,''
"Watch our herring lay 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 eggs .
and watch us monopolize the herring market."
But with regret it is announced that Mr. Wallingford' plan to get 10,
000 people to invest a dime is delayed, owing to the panic in the her
ring schools, due to the Alsatian-Dalmatian conflict. But Mr. Walling
ford, in the generosity of his heart has been persuaded on to do some
thing else for you, and this is it.
No, a dime now won't make you a fortune, but a dime invested will
bring you a regular harvest of good laughs, ripping, hearty, genuine
laughs!
This good old sport, Wallingford, with the peculiar finanrlal twist, has
become the most whimsical, humorous, absolutely real character of
our literature and this new advent of Wallingford will be a great affair
to all America. . '

GUARANTY LACK BLAMED
ATTORNEYS EXPLAIN' PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST MR. RALSTON.
Supreme Court Sctm Case lor Hearing
. Tomorrow and Argumrnt Not Ex
pected to Bar Other Move.
Failure o L. O. Ralston to furnish
a bond guaranteeing payment of the
judgrnent if he lost or to turn over
sufficient property to satisfy it in that
event are siren by Attorney Sidney J.
Gfaham as the reason why he and As
sistant Attorney-General Van Winkle,
as attorneys for State Bank Examiner
Sarpent, forced supplementary pro
ceeding's against Mr. Ralston to re
cover on the judgment of approxi
mately $50,000 aarainst him in favor of
the depositors of the defunct American
Trust & Savings Bank.
Word was received from Salem yes
terday that the ca?e will be heard by
the Supreme Court tomorrow. Sup
plementary proceedings are to be taken
up before Circuit Judge Morrow again
Saturday. As the decision of the Su
preme Court probably will be rendered
Immediately It is likely that arrument
of the case will not act as a bar against
the continuance of the supplementary
proceedings unless the Supreme Court
anouia specincaily order otherwise.
Mr. Graham says in his statement:
Upon the representation that it would cost
Mr. Ralston $1000 to put up a bond to stay
the execution, we consented to withhold exe
cution and supplemental proceedings If Mr.
Ralston would transfer sufficient property
to some acceptable third party to satisfy
the judgment if affirmed and to be returned
to Mr. Ralston if the judgment was re
versed. When the time came to transfer
the property they failed to do so and we.
therefore, proceeded with the execution and
with supplemental proceedings to determine
Just what property Mr. Ralston had.
The American Bank & . Trust Company
failed In December, 1911. Mr. Ralston tes
tified under oath, tn 1912, that he was
worth about $200,000. it Is apparent that
be could give a bond to stay execution and
any proceedings thereoti, or transfer suf
ficient property to secure the Judgment it
he wished tj do so. More than 30OO de
positors are In terested in the outcome ot
this case and our purpose is simply to see
that the judgment is paid If affirmed.
All the charges made by Mr. Johns were
heard by Judge Morrow and he ruled that
in view of the circumstances, the examina
tion of Mr. Ralston should be held. The
examination was held Saturday, and It dis
closed the imperative necessity of action in
this matter. It showed that since the fail
ure of the bank, Mr. Ralston has attempt
er to transfer the greater part of his prop
erty to his wife and chillren and that he
has transferred property to his attorney,
notwithstanding the order of the court re
straining the transfer of any property, pend
ing the final decision of this case.
Neither is there any foundation for the
charge that we "delayed the hearing of this
case in the Supreme Court. Whatever de
lay has resulted was caused by the acts of
the defendant. Ralston. If he had secured
the payment of this Judgment by the trans
ter of sufficient property, as his attorney
first promised he would do, if he had not
thwart every effort to have the Judgment
secured, the attorneys for the Superintendent
of Banks would not have -been delayed in
the preparation ot their brief on appeal.

HUNGER IS FLYNN TOPIC
LFXTIREH ON" HEALTH ADVISES
AGAINST MISTAKEN APPETITE.
Says Thirst Should Be Watched, Espe
cially at Meal Time, and Stimu
lant Avoided.
W. Jarl Flynn lectured at the
Eleventh-Street Theater last night on,
"appetite and hunger." He said
hunger is always our friend, never our
enemy, but it is so easily confused
with appetite.
"I have put up sign boards all along
my route readiig, 'beware of appetite;
he is a base deceiver who always ap
pears in the disguise of hunger.' " he
said. "Toil can always tell him by
this rule: If you can eat anything,
cold potatoes, stale bread and wish for
more, or if you can sit on a stone or
fence out ij the woods on a cold
Winter day and eat with relish some
plain cold food, that is true hunger.
If we never ate except when hungry,
disease would be largely a thing of
history in a few years.
"Thirst will bear watching, especial
ly at meals. Not one drop of anything
should be drunk at meals. A little
water or buttermilk at the close of a
meal is all right, or some hot drink,
not tea or coffee, liquors or wines. A
man weighing 150 pounds is 110 pounds
water. He should drink when thirstv.
but not a thirst caused by eating
sweets. We can satisfy the thirst for
days by taking loaf sugar and it
snouia be carried on trips when the
water is impure or inaccessible. Put
a little, say one-quarter of a cube of
sugar, in the mouth and let it dis
solve slowly. It makes thirst more
acute for a few minutes and then it
is quenched. Four to six glasses of
water a aay is a normal amount.
"Care of the Face. Hair and Eyes."
repeated by request, and "Misflts" will
be the subjects tonight.
