Fort Madison Democrat: For
many years the Thanksgiving football
game between the Keokuk and Fort
Madison high schools at Yvanhoe
park, now Peake's Amusement park,
has been as eagerly looked forward
to and almost as regular as the tur.
key itself. Both cities anxiously await
the event and usually the hardest
fought battle of the season on the
southeastern Iowa gridirons is the
annual Thanksgiving contest at Fort
Madison.
Statistics gathered from various
sources by New York medical jour
nal shows that infantile spinal paraly-
sis has attacked no less than 10000
persons In the United States in the
last few years. Although the NOR
tality seldom exceeds 10 per cent. at
least Is per cent of the little victims
are crippled for life. DR.. Simon Flex-
ner, head of the Rockefeller Institute,
who has been studying the disease, is
authority for the statement that no
means to ameliorate it or prevent its
development is yet known. Those of
us who have had to deal with this
malady, or who have studied its un-
checked progress" he says, have
come to realize how helpless we are.
We know it to be epidemic. We be-
lieve it to be contagious or at least
highly communicable. We have learn
ed that there are abortive forms
without paralysis. It's age incidence
and sensational occurrence are
known to us. We are acquainted with
its terrible results. Nothing more.
