has been suggested that domestic ami

ease. and special attention has been
called to the chickens and cats which
have been paralyzed while epidemics
were raging.
During the summer of 1910 the dis
ease was spread over a greater terri
tory than ever before, affecting every
sectio nof the country The approach
OF winter has stayed it's deya statinx
march. but with the coming of next
summer there will be new danger for
every child in the land.
1t is not only the children Of the poor.
the little people of the slums, who are
in danger. The New York epidemic
was apparently confined to the sluns.
put there are unreported cases in the
city which would tell another tale.
When disease IS caused by a virus
which may be transmitted by letter,
as was the case In Massachusetts. no
child seems safe anywhere. While this
particular disease usually makes its an

contagious disease is a swift and alb

this fight all human beings are on the

in danger.

an active and powerful effort to check
the progress Of this children's plague.
