INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
No Occasion For Panic Regarding
The Disease, Says Doctor.
(From the Boston Transcript

(From the Boston Transcript.)
'Infantile Paralysis" was the sub
jeet OF the first Of series OF popular
lectures on medical subjects. given by
DR.. X. w. Lovett at the Harvard
Medical school. Eighteen lectures will
be given on successive Sundays until
April 80. There was a good attend
ance. Or. Lovett denied the truth Of
the popular impression that infantile
paralysis is new disease Of a myster-
ious nature, highly dangerous and
widespread. He stated that IT was
known as early as 1774 to an English
physician, Michael Underwood, and
accurately described in 1916. 1t is a
summer disease. appearing in June.
increasing till the end Of August and
disappearing in December. He said
that while the disease is known to be
communicated by germs, the germ it
self cannot be detected, as it is too
small to be seen by any microscope.
Nevertheless, experiments with mon
keys have shown that probably a Sc
rum will be eventually found that will
either prevent or cure the disease.
At present. DR.. Lovett said, it is not
certain exactly in what way the germs
are carried about and communicated
to healthy children, but many cases Of
communication have followed visits of
healthy children to houses where
there were sick ones, other cases have
followed visits Of we'll people from
houses where there was sickness to
houses where there was not.
1t is a fact. too, said DR.. Lovett,
that birds or domestic animals have
been found in large proportion Of
the families where infantile paraly-
sis occurs. and there Is good reason
for believing that such pets in the
house may be responsible sometimes
for the appearance Of the disease: or
Ii may be due to some insect, but Just
what kind cannot be guessed at yet.
DR.. Lovett urged that till more IL
known of infantile paralysis parents
protect their children by keeping
them away from other children who
are afflicted with indefinite ailments,
and by not allowing them to go to
miscellaneous gatherings where dis
ease germs might be communicated.
'Thore is no occasion for the panic
that exists In many minds" said DR..
Lovett in conclusion. Common sense
precautions to protect your children
and common-sense view Of the situ-
alton after a study Of all the facts
will save an immense amount Of wor-
ry and discomfort. Lend any aid you
can to Investigations being conduct

School OF Agriculture.

Professor D. N. Barrow at the
head Of the farmers school for Glenn
son college will establish a CORES
pondence school for teachers and all
farmers who wish to take the course
The only expense will be postage and
the text books He makes this state
ment:
The basis Of study will be the text
book recommended by this division.
Arrangements have been made with
the publishers by which these books
will be furnished students taking this
course at discount from the regu-
lar price. In addition to the text
books, leaflets further simplifying the
subject covered by the text book will
he sent upon the assignment Of the
lesson. Upon receipts Of an applica-
zion for enrolment in the course the
party will be forwarded a certificate
of membership, the name of the text
book to be purchased and the num-
er of chapters covered by the first les
son together with such additional
pamphlets as may be issued upon the
subject Of the lesson. When the
student is prepared for the recitation
and notifies this office to that effect,
list of examination questions will be
sent. These will then be answered
by the student and returned to this
Office. Upon receipt of request for
examination blanks upon a given sub
'ject the assignment and sheets bear
ing upon the next lesson will be for
warded. When the answers to the
questions are received, they will be
gone over carefully and such as are
not correct will be indicated by stamp
ed hand upon the margin with the
page of text book upon which the
correct answer will be found. When
the student has made the corrections
the paper will be forwarded again to
this .office-such replies as are still in
correct will be corrected and the pa
per returned to the student for final
perusal. There is no pescribed time
In which the course or even the les
sons should be completed, but this
division reserves the right to drop any
student who is unreasonably tardy in
pursuing the course.
There is no desire on the part of
this division to derive any revenue
from the course. The work and time
Of the force Of the division will be
given freely. However, there will be
considerable expense in printing, pa
per and postage. The college will as
sumo the first two items Of expense,
but thinks it but fair that the stu
dents should be willing to pay the
cost OF postage. To this end each
application for enrolment must be
accompanied by check or order for
the amount Of one dollar. This fee
will entitle the applicant 20 the whole
course. In addition to this fee the
student is expected to provide him
self with the text books reco mend
ed by the division"
Soil, tillage, fertilizers, plants, fun
gus disease, fruits, all domestic ami
mails, forage crops, grasses, legumes,
and the dairy will be some Of the sub
jects taught, The initiation fee will
he $1.00 and the cost of the four text
books used in the four divisions Of the
course will be $5.3S. For q circular
giving particulars write D. n. Barrow,

wards for extra widths of high grade

Uncle Sam licked Mexico in 1857
and settled the consequences In the
treaty OF Guadalupe-Hidalgo in 1S4S.
California and lot of other territory
passed under the Stars and Stripes.
Still, Uncle Sam wasn't satisfied.
He wanted TO round out his posses
sions by adding another slice OF Mex
leo. reaching from the Rio Grande on
the east TO Rio Colorado on the west.
He accomplished this In 1853, through
the "Gadsden Purchase" a strip or
what is now New Mexico and Arizona,
500 miles long and 120 miles wide.
The deal was made by James Gads-
den. our minister to Mexico. The
price was $10,000,000.
But Gadsden didn't draw a straight
boundary line or maybe 1t was the
fault of the commissioners who estab-
lished the boundary monuments.
Anyhow. II you look lat the accom-
panying map you will see that there's
discrepancy between the lines on
the two sides of the river. They don't
meet. True, 20 miles isn't such a
long line, but in this case II is the
inch on a mans nose.
In Southeastern California is the
