A New Kind That Has nseo@s Epi
demio In Paris.


A Strange epidemic Of mumps has
broken out In certain quarters OF Paris,
This annoying malady. which as rule
attacks only children. has In the pres
ent instance attacked only grown per-
cons. thereby somewhat mystifying
the Paris physicians. who are unable
TO account for the present curious cpl
demic. According TO DR.. Charles Le-
roux. one Of the most prominent ply
sicians OF the French capital, patients
suffering from mumps should be treat
ed very carefully. while their lives
may be In no danger" he says. "the
disease may affect certain important
organs Of the body. the consequences
Of which may be serious. Mumps are
very contagious. A patient Will catch
the disease after spending only a few
hours with some one who has the
humps. aye, even though the disease be
still In state OF incubation. The
period OF incubation varies from eight
to twenty-five days. 30 that a person
who has come into contact with a
humps patient. and nnds after TWEEN
ty-hve days that he Ia In his normal
state OF health. may safely conclude
that he has not caught the disease.
Another interesting fact Is that those
who have had mumps In their child.
hood will not catch the disease again.
[ have never heard OF an exception to
this rule Il seems also 10 be an un-
disputed fact that mumps come In tho
form Of regular epldemics. We do
not yet know definitely how cOntaglon
Is brought about In this case. but there
IL little doubt that Il Is the work OF
special mlcrobo The fact that tho
disease IS contagious and epidemic
seems TO prove this Physicians are
searching for this mlcrobe. and II will
certainly be found In the near future.
Already certain specialists notably
Drs. Captain. Charrin. Bouchard and
olivier. have found In the saliva Of
persons attacked with humps germs or
small microbes OF a fixed shape. the
precise nature OF which has not yet
been determined The malady Is u TIA
worst on the seventh or eighth day. and
then recovery begins. 50 that within
a few days the patient u entirely cured.
As a rule, there Ia no danger. provided
the patient receives good care. avoids
chills and "a In a good state Of health
AZ the same time. the utmost preoAu-
tons are necessary. no matter how
mild the malady may be, First Of all.
the patient should be- isolated. by which
! do not mean that he should be placed

members OF family can visit him.
for thus the contagion would spread
rapidly. What do mean Il that not
only should be be Isolated but also
that those who nurse him should keep
themselves isolated. II they cannot

and hands and change their clothing

In response TO your request for infor
nation regarding time Of planting and
varieties of strawberries to plant, we
have pleasure in giving you the result
of our experience. Strawberries may
be planted almost any time of the year
in Florida that plants can be procured.
We have ourselves planted successfully
in February and March, July, August,
September, October and November. For
a market crop however we would recon-
mend end of September or beginning of
October; for home use November as the
weather being so much cooler then it is
easier to get good stand.
humans Seeding is by far the best
variety for Florida. If properly culti-
waited and fertilzed it produces large
and luscious fruit. We have also ship
ped Lady Thompson, Bubeck and Cres-
cent berries. The berries of these va.
rieties were larger than the Nunan but
the Plants were not nearly so prolific.
We have added this year to our
nursery Early Michel and Princess and
although the plants are growing vigor-
ously and making runners as we have
not finished them yet we can say moth
ing as to their bearing qualities.

-FOUR correspondent fails to state on
what kind of land he has been able to plant
strawberries any time Of the year.
He may have low land in which case it
can be done but on high land plants put
out before October is labor wasted-un-
less there is considerable work done in
the way of shading and irrigating. We
have tried it and do not believe that the
gain is sufficient to pay the extra ex-
pense. We have gathered berries on
January 1st from plants put out the 1st
of October. The ground was well pre-
pared and fertilized.- Ed.
