epidemic of infantiIe paralysis that has proved fatal in a few weeks to over forty children, and with POO in quarantine suffering with the same afflietion.
 On the streets, in the big hotels, as we'll as on all trains coming or going. the disease is expressing pub lie attention more than any question that has arisen in many years So aroused are the people over the sudden introduction of thi. fatal malady that all thcaters and other houses of amusement have been closed to children of fifteen years of age and under. A detention hospital has been established and over two hundred little sufferers are isolated from their fathers and mothers. Official reports give the number of fatalities al forty. and the disease is baffling medical skill.
 The child of abou, five years of age is the most likely to contract the disease. and among this class are the fatalities greatest. In some instances adults have been stricken and died. Statistics given of the reeoveries made reveal the pitiable situation that from eigh,y-five to ninety per cent are crippled for life m one manner or another. In this respect. Mir. Stephens states, he personally was conversant with a sad case. when a little girl ae quaintanoe was visited, her entire face being paralyzed and she had moi the slightest control over the use of any organs thereof In an. other instance boy of but . few years of age had his right arm hanging useless, and in many other eases similar conditions were re-. ported. As sure as a child recovers, just SO sure is it marked for life.
 That the disease is contagious has been proven in many instances. and from the little ones three adults m department store were stricken and passed away. Many families are leaving the city. and every train carries mothers with their precious little ones

Children Returning From Coast Will Be Quarantined IS Days and All
 Baggage Fumigated.
(From Tncsday's Daily)

To safeguard against the introduc- tion of infantile paralysis in Ari- zona the State Board of Health at a meeting in Phoenix yesterday adopted Stringent provisions which had been decided upon by the Council on Public Health and Legis- lation of flie Arizona Medical As sociation' In fac, the committee and Board of Health held a joint session but the members of the latter body were not present at the committee meeting in an official capacity. H'r
 The gathering was the result of a call by Dr. R. N. Looney. the state health officer, and when the conncil was called to order he re- ported that on August l2th there had been l9s cases of infantile paralysis reported to inc city health officer of Los Angeles, with 3S deaths; that a little more than a week ago he had written every physician in Arizona calling atien- tion to the hklihood of this disease being brought into Arizona by sum mcr tourists returning from the coast and advising them 10 keep a close watch for cases of the disease and 10 immediately report to their local county and city health officer all suspicious cases. Al the same time he wrote to all city and county health officers enclosing them a copy of the above mentioned letter and also instructing them to closely quarantine all suspected cases of infaniile paralysis immediately. On Sunday Dr. Looney was notified by City Health Officer Troutman of Tucson that two cases of the disease had developed in that city. 4 tele- gram was sent to Dr. Troutman to establish strict quarantine and to forbid all children of IS years and under from attending theaters. pie ture shows or other public places.
 The council acting upon the re- DOT, of Dr. Looney then framed a set of rules. and the health board met officially and adopted them. Substantially they are as follows;

The Vanishing Army.

Hail. mighty men who formed the host
That led the nation into light
The nations pride. the nations boast;
An army vanishing from sight.
Repeat your story. from the past.
OF battles lost and battles won.
And files and columns falling fast
Before the sweep of sword and gun.
Tell of your marches. long and drear.
With throats athirst and hlistered feet,
And lips and faces cracked and scar.
With bitter cold or scorchfng heat:
Your thoughts of dear ones. far away.
Who loved and needed you SO much;
The anguish of the bitter day
You left their sight at duty's touch.
No sordid motive was the lure
That took you from your happy home,
The tolls of warfare to endure
To sleep beneath the sky's great dome.
The pittance that the nation gave
Paid lily for your risk of life:
Twas not for that you fought to save
Her honor, through the hateful strife.
The ma ton our forefathers made
By toll and strife and anxious care,
In deep distress implored your aid.
Her flag to honored peace to bear.
That nation, to your hearts SO dear,
Was surely worthy to be saved;
And other ties. however near.
Were severed as her foe you braved.
With all the glorious ones that live
And shine through ages of the past,
And light TO present pathways give,
Your host in golden rays shall last;
And in that splendor be revealed,
AS treading still the paths you trod,
And mustered on Fame's stored field,
Reviewed before the throne OF God.
