ELECTRICITY CURES PARALYSIS.
Iowa Health Board Secretary Dis
agrees With New York Ply
sician.

Des Moines, Oct. 15.-Secretary
Sumner OF the State Board of Health,
disagrees with the New York city
physicians that electricity is cure
alp for infantile paralysis. Not only
does Secretary Sumner hold that
electricity is not cure all" for the
disease but that ii should not be
used in any circumstances during
the process of the disease.
His attention was called to the fact
that Mrs. Laura Graham, OF New
York city, who was afflicted with in.
fantile paralysis five years ago, 10
now beginning to walk because of
electric treatments.
During the process OF the disease
no electricity should be applied in
cases of infantile paralysis" said
Secretary Sumner, discussing the
New York case. when the spinal
cord is attacked and is in an infiam-
matory condition there is nothing to
be done except give the patient abso-
lutte rest and quiet. After all the
symptoms are gone and apparent re.
covery seems to begin, rest and quiet
should be continued and then electri-
city can be applied to assist or slim
ulate nature in its work of building
up the diseased parts.
You will notice in the Graham
case that the disease had apparently
left the body and nature. had started
it's repair work before electricity was
suggested. 1t then proved an assist.
ant to nature in natures repair work
and that is perfectly proper. The
giving Of electricity promiscuously
as a "cure alp' for infantile paral.
ysis should be absolutely avoided.
This woman will probably again
learn to walk but she will never be
entirely cured, she will never walk
with the freedom that she once did.
They never do, once they survive the
disease"

FISH AND. CAME LAW
Warden Lincoln Makes Recon-
mendations in Biennial Report
FAvoRS REVISING SEINE LAW
Would Prohibit More Than Two
Hooks on Trot Line and Make
II Unlawful for Children to
Carry Firearms.

Des Moines. Oct. 15.-In his bien-
NAL report to Governor Carroll
George A, Lincoln. state fish and
game warden, makes several recon-
mendations for changes in the fish
and game laws of the state. Those
recommendations are as follows:
A law making the possession of q
seine unlawful; a law prohibiting
the use of over two hooks on trot
line; law defining game birds and
declaring the ownership of them to
be in the state; a law forbidding the
use of ferrets. in hunting game; a
law making it unlawful to take or
offer for sale black bass under eight
inches long; striped bass under eight
inches long; blue or channel cat I'M
der ten inches long, pike, pickerel
or perch under ten inches long, and
croppies under six inches long, and
law making it misdemeanor for
children under II years of age to car
ry firearms on the public domain. All
these laws are asked for in the in
terest of game and fish preservation.
Warden Lincoln also declares against
the establishment of state game pre-
serves and says that private game
preserves are un-American and re-
minders of feudal days in Europe.
His report shows that he prosecut-
ed 449 cases, getting $10.617.22 in
fines, 3S jail sentences and 35 acquit-
tails. He destroyed 112 seines, 261
hoop nets, $50 trot lines, 101 traps,
167 dip nets, 3S spears and Z boats,
the total value of which was $4,000.
He has put out $3.50 eggs of ring
neck pheasants to IT'S applicants in
50 counties. He believes this to be
the proper method of propagation of
these game birds.
Two men, he says, made $12,400 off
of German carp taken from the Mis-
sissippi river. One man caught Co.
600 pounds. for which he received ST.
400, and one man caught $4,000
pounds, for which he received S10,.

SENATOR II. VI. PATTERSON
SELLS THE DENVER TIMES

Denver Colo. June 80. - Today :
issue of the Denver Evening Times
will be the last under the editorial
management of former United States
Senator T. NJ. Patterson. The prop
orty will be taken over tomorrow by
Jared Newell Hustled. a Colorado capi-
talist. Senator Patterson will con-
tinue as editor and owner of the Rocky
Mountain News, a morning newspa-
per.
Under the new ownership, the
Times will be edited by Hugh O'Neill
one of the best known newspaper men
in the Rocky Mountain district. Wal
lace p. Doty, for years business man
ager of the Denver Post, will be the
business manager Of the reorganized
Evening Times.
An entire new plant of presses, limo
type machines and other machinery
will he installed by the Times, which
under Pattersons ownership was
printed at the News plant
Senator Patterson gives the follow
ing reasons for selling the Times:
Il consider that the battle between
the people and the interests here in
Denver mas becn praCICallN won DN
the people With the defeat of the
water franchise and the adoption OF
the charter amendments Denver has
been made free city, and the most
offensive phase of the rule of the cor
poration bosses has been ended. If
the people will use the recall and
initiative and referendum wisely and
foarlessly they can enforce a cleaner,
more economical, and at the same
time more efficient administration OF
Denver's affairs than they have en-
joyed for many years.
ct found the exacting duties of two
daily newspapers more than a man of
my years should burden himself with.
Mr.. Hustled wanted The Times and
he agreed to pay the price I named
Wherefore with the battle of the peo-
pie won. the sale gives me the OPP
portunity to concentrate my best en-
crgics on the News-which is my
first love in the newspaper world,
anyway parted with 1t.

Back in 1903 Genee was appearing

country ways and developed into a

captured the hand of the Marquis
Maltravers. who, when he saw her
wearing a hat of her own creation,
became her slave and asked her to

To be sure Genee's husband isn't

and in good society. He has been
very devoted, too. during the
two years that he has known the

Secret Sessions.

Reno, June 30.-It is rumored that
Jeff's optimistic view of the fights
outcome is based on his secret sparr-
ing sessions which no one witnesses.
Camp followers deny there is any
secret work, but some wise ones re-
fuse to believe it. Jeffries probably
will wear springs in his heels when
he enters the ring to make his foot
work easier. Tex Rickard, the referee
has premonitiOn that he wont be
in the ring. Charlie White of New
YORK. has been selected as an emer-
gency referee. Jeff and Johnson both
went through stunts for moving pic
lures yesterday.
Jeff was up early and ate hearty
breakfast. He seemed happy and
said he felt in fine shape. The trouble
with his arm has disappeared. He
lounged about the camp chatting this
morning, but said he might spar a
little this afternoon.
1t is believed Jeff's work before
the moving pictures yesterday had
some effect On the betting. He was
far from being impressive and began
to wind earlier than usual, some
thing which caused much comment

CONVICTS MORALS LOW:
is CHASED FROM CAMP

Walla Walla, Wash.-The escape Of
Convict No. $3.50 from the Lyle stock
ade is one of the most interesting
incidents in the history of criminol-
ology, according to the statement of
Samuel Hill. The convict was en-
ployed on road work there, and es-
capped several months ago He was the
only one who ever successfully got
away from the road camp. He dis
appeared completely, and it was sup
posed he merely wanted to quit work
However, a letter from another
member Of the camp to Samuel Hill
gives a different light. He says the
man had such a low moral standard
the convicts would not tolerate him,
and ii was either escape or he killed.
II ey warned him of his impending
fate. and he escaped from what he
claimed was sure death.
Hill says that the letter is one of
the most remarkable documents ever
written, showing that convicts have
morals that compare favorably with
most outsiders. In the course of his
address given at the Commercial
Club luncheon he lauded convicts in
the road work saying they are doing
more work, man for man, than paid
laborers. In February the Lyle camp
paid Sl.55 day to each man; March.
$I66, and April, $3.50. These fig
ures are taken from a comparison
with the cost OF building the North
Bank. II costs % cents day to feed
the men. Hill told of one convict who
spent the night weeping when told he
must return to the penitentiary on
account of consumption, which made
him unfit for work He says convict
labor is a great success, and the solu-
ton Of the good roads movement.
