QUARANTINE FOR
 INFANT PARALYSIS
State Health Board Urges Prompt
 Action
HEALTH OFFICERS SHOULD ES- fTABLISH STRICT ISOLATION FOR MONTH PUBLIC FU- NERALS NOT TO BE ALLOWED.

Secretary J. H. Townsend of the state board of health. in his bulletin for July. urges strict quarantine of cases of infantile para1ysfs and says that public funeral of victims of tho disease should not be aliowsd. He writes of the matter as follows
 Anterior poliomyei1tis or infantile paralysis is . disease that attacks in- fantS and children during the hot months. fully half the cases occurring before the third year. but adults are not exempt. The disease is to be dreaded not only on account of its mor- tality, but also because 8 large per centage of it's victims are left permA- nently crippled During the present summer 1t has prevailed in New York Washington, D. C.. Springfield. Mass. sections of Pennsylvania and Iowa. and some few cases have been reported in Connecticut. No micro-organism as a cause of the disease has yet been dis covered. but from a study of past epi- denies as we'll as those now in pro- gress. the disease is without doubt of an infectious and contagious nature and it is spposed that the nose and pharynx first harbor the germs. As it is an infectious disease and dangerous to the public health. it is of the utmost i'm portance that every possible means be taken to prevent other children from containing 1t. Every case should be at once reported by the attending physician to the local board of health or health officer. as is done in other infectious diseases. The health officer should establish a strict isolation for period of four weeks from the time of notification. On the death or re- covery of the patient. the apartments occupied by him should be fumiGated and disinfected. Public funerals should not be allowed. Mild cases that are sick enly few days are just as liable to convey the infection and should be isolated for the full period
 It is only through the cooperation of the medical profession that definite results can be obtained in checking an epidemic. Physicians are therefore urged to; use every precautfon now em- ployed in the management of other con- tagious diseases, and to carefully ex-, plain to the family of their patients the danger that may come not only to themselves. but to others. from a dis regard of the regulations of the board of health.

authority than Representative Butler Ames. . Republican insurgent of Lodge's own state of Massachusetts. that the political machine of Senator Lodge ''is backed by all the large cor porattons' and is used to advance the selfish Financial schemes of the large railrUal1s banking and manufacturing interests he dodge5 serves in the halls of Congress-
 Roosevelts great popularity has been largely due to the belief of the people that he was the enemy of such cor poration servers as Lodge.
 Therefore all over the land the ex- presidents friends are asking: How can Roosevelt conscientiously speak for . man like Lodge. when he does nothing for men like LaF'ollette?"
 The mere asking of this question has the tendency of placing Roosevelt on fhe defensive. And it is bad for any politician. great or small. to be on the defensive.
 THH DEMOCRATIC POSITION.
 Republican spellbinders have inti- mated the Democratic party stands for free trade. Absolute free trade is inn practical with the United States. Every country in the world. including Great Britain. levies some tariff. and this country must always do so.
 The Democratic position on the sub ject is substantially as follows:
 First: The government should never collect one penny more of revenue than necessary to administer it's affairs with rigid economy.
 Second: The lowest rate that will yield the greatest amount of revenue should be imposed.
 Third: Luxuries should always bear the highest revenue duties.
 Fourth: Experience has vindicated the wisdom of advalorem duties as be- ing the correct practice.
 Fifth: Revenue duties should be laid 60 as to operate with equality through out the union, discriminating neither for nor against any class or section.
 Sixth: Absolute necessities should go pn the free list.
 Seventh: There should be imposed a revenue duty upon practically all inn ports, with certain exceptions. These exceptions should be determined by the test:
 Imports coming in connection with krust-controlled products should be placed on the free list. and articles of absolute necessity should be import ed free of duty.

200 WOMEN AGAINST ONE MAN.

1t Is Claimed That He Caused Dance
to End in a Riot.
A New York dispatch says the
names of more than two hundred
young women are registered by the
Bronx police as compliments against
George Greenly, charged with assault
in connection with a fracas which
broke up a dance at a New York
shore resort.
Greenly, the young women told
the police, started a general riot
shortly after midnight by using his
fists against a rival. Before the po-
lice arrived four men had been so
seriously injured that they will be
in the hospital for many days, while
incidental damage to women's gowns
is estimated at fully thousand dol
lars.
When the police reached the scene
all the injured male spectators had
disappeared, leaving the two hun
dred or so women to shoulder the
responsibility of appearing as wit
nesses in court.

were more than three hundred per-

ers and college professors from all
over the country. Sides were chosen,
and Harry Dickinson was elected to
pronounce the words.
The match started off with words
from the spelling book used in the
public schools. Before it was fin
ished all of the college men and
most of the teachers had been
hoOred, but Mrs. Thomas stood.
Finally a newspaper was brought
into use, and Dick nsOn pronounced
words from it. One by one the
teachers went down, and at last Mrs.

hour she spelled every word pro

LATE JULIUS BROWNS WILL
Monuments to His Father and Moth
er Will Probably BE on Capitol
Grounds. CuriOs 100000.

ATLANTA, Considerable in
terest attaches to the will of the late
Julius L. Brown, son of Georgias
war Governor and United States SEN
recently made public.
1t was generally expected before
the will was made public by Governor
Brown that it would contain some
unique and interesting provisions.
While it was believed that Mr. Brown
would leave a handsome bequest to
some educational institution his gift
of 100000 to the Georgia School
of Technology came as a surprise.
However, he followed his distin-
guished father in his interest in edu-
cational Institutions 1t was Gov.
Joseph E. Brown who set aside a
fund for the education Of young men
at the State University who were un-
able to pay their way, and many
Georgia boys have profited by it.
The requests for monuments to
his mother and father will be heard
from again. First, the question is
to be decided as to whether one or
both of these will be accepted by
the state for location on the grounds
OF the state capitol. 1t is hardly
likely that there will be any ques-
ton regarding the placing there of
the monument to Georgia's war gov
ernOr, but it would be somewhat out
of the usual to place there the statue
OF a woman. In any event, if they
are not accepted by the state for the
capitol grounds, either or both of
them, they will be rendered to the
city of Atlanta
No small interest attaches to Jul
Illus Browns will on account of his
large collection of valuable works of
art, paintings, china, old coins,
stamps and rare books. Their value
is estimated at 100000, and will
run the value of the estate up above
100000, the other property of the
deceased being valued at upwards of
100000.

THE HOP TOAD.

The department of agriculture has
been studying the toad, and has is
sued a bulletin stating that it is in
all respects harmless, while as a de-
strOyer of insects it saves the cOun-
try millions every year:
The hOp-toad is no beauty.
He cannot sing a note,
But yet when he's on duty
All night adOWn his throat
Bad bugs go in procession.
He eats them by the peck;
Oh, youth! 'Tis grave transgression
To hit him in the neck.
His breath is nothing baneful
His touch promotes no wart;
Away with legends painful,
The toad's another sort.
He wanders in the shrubbery,
To catch the Grant worm;
To scorn him is flubdubbery;
So scientists affirm.
He wouldn't bite your finger,
He has no way to sting:
Long may he live and linger,
This kindly, useful thing.
Insecticide primeval,
He guards the growing crop,
Yet gossip say he's evil;
'Tis time the scandal stop.
