So much for the baff1ed medical SCI
ence. The disease itself, attacking
children in all but a few isolated cases
confines it to a difficult field in which
to work. The helpless condition Of the
patient, or of any one to help him.
lends a terror to the new and strange
aff7iction.
DR.. Crumbine's Letter.
In addition to the attention and
guard of the state board of health over
the new disease, the board has issued,
letter concerning this and other all
ments:

Anterior Poliomyelitis by wire"
That is the instruction of DR.. S. ].
Crumbine, secretary of the state board
of health in a letter to the county and
municipal health officers, in regard to
the dreaded infantile paralysis, which
again has become an epidemic in Kan
sas.
Four cases of the disease have been
visited by DR.. Crumbine in Phillips
county. These were in one family and
two children already have died.
A new case was reported this morn
ing from Brown county by DR.. Nye,
county health officer. This case is in
the family of Del Corning.
Another case is reported from King
man by DR.. w. P. Callahan. This case
is the four year old daughter of
Eugene Bramball
DR.. Crumbine has returned from an
inspection of the cases of last summer
Where they did not terminate fatally.
1t was just as he was ready to leave
on that mission that word came from
Phillips county that there were four
children in one family stricken with
spinal meningitis. Visiting them first
the doctor found that instead of the
trouble reported all four children were
victims of infantile paralysis.
In most cases it perhaps is well
that the disease terminates fatally
said DR.. Crumbine. THAT would be bet
ter than the beginning of a life career
as cripple. In some cases, however.
those cases we visited now are doing
we'll Others seem to be permanently
affected.
Rain May Stop 1t.
What can be done to thwart tie
epidemic? Well I have told you the
rain theory. OF course that is only
problematical-nore a matter of my
observation. The disease always comes
in the wake of a long dry and dusty
spell. In several instances rain or
street sprinkling stopped the epidemic.
Reports were made before a medical
convention in Washington by doctors
from Eu Claire. Wis. and st. Paul.
Minn., that the allaying of the dust
checked the disease
.As L said that theory is only pro-
hlematical and the mere fact OF dust
blowing would not spread the disease.
The dust must be infected. That is
the stumbling point. Where does the
infection come from? Most likely from
the different animals. Yet Simon F1ex-
ner Of the Rockefeller institute of New
York, has devoted much time in the
last two years in a search for the
hacilli without success.
Perhaps he has failed because the
stain for that micro organism has not
| been found. Perhaps it is one of those
organisms which no microscope can
| find. In experimentation with monk
eys, DR.. F1exner has discovered that
the disease is contracted through the
throat. Finding an affected monkey
with a diseased condition of the throat
and larynx. another was inoculated
from the throat of the first. Weak
| kneed chickens have thought to have
been infected with the same bacilli, if
| it is a bacillus. We experimental
here with chickens last summer but
derived no knowledge of the disease

the ostrich gobbled them down. and
looked around for more. So the Col.
onel sent down to the store for more
nails, and he kept feeding nails to the
ostrich until the hardware man said
that he had reached his credit limit.
BY that time the ostrich was well
filled with nails He contained eight
pennies, and ten-pennies. and some
screws, and FIVE pounds Of spikes, and
a keg of single nails, and the colonel
began to be afraid the ostrich was
over-eating, but the ostrich did not
think so. Between meals 1t walked
up and down the sidewalk before the
colonel's house and ate the nails out
of the sidewalk. Whenever 1t saw the
hardware wagon approaching It would
gallop gayly down the street to meet
1t. uttering little squawks of Joy.
But last Thursday when the hard
ware delivery wagon approached the
colonels residence the ostrich made
sad mistake. II had dashed out into
the road as usual and poked its head
into the wagon while the delivery
boy was unloading the nails. and 1t
saw a likely looking tid-bit and swal-

ly, but the spike was gone! The do
livery boy Immediately called for the
colonel and demanded the cartridges
and the big spike. but the colonel was
bothered about something else just
then, for the ostrich had the hic.
coughs. Probably it had over eaten.
The colonel did not care whether
II had over-eaten or not. What he
cared about was that there was box
Of AS inside that bird, and q sharp
pointed spike with them, and that ev-
cry hic-cough must be Jerking the
sharp point of the spike around among
those cartridges, like the hammer Of
pistol, and that the affectionate
bird was aimed directly at him. Any
minute one Of those AS might 60 on
and kill the colonel. and the colonel
knew 1t. He was far from happy In
the affection of that ostrich. but the
bird loved him and longed to show II.
Colonel Phipps went down the road at
full run. and the ostrich followed
closely at o hic-coughy trot. Just at
the corner of Main and Cros9 street
the bird began to shoot. For an in
slant It exhibited wild surprise, but
the moment after It had no time to ex-
hibit anything. 1t was exploding AS
with the rapidly of gatling gun. OF
course there were only nifty cartridges
in the box, so the ostrich did not shoot
long. but II shot we'll. For careless,
