CITY ATTRACTIONS.


The illustration of the sea-bird
drawn to its doom by the glare Of the
beacon light finds no truer photo-type
than in the case of the country girl
lured from her home by dreams of
fortune TO be realized in the great
city. As ignorant of the wiles of evil
as a mouse is of the mechanism Of a
trap, unsophisticated in the blandish-
ments of sin; holding TO the belief
that sheep and goats never mingle she
drops into the maelstrom of city ex-
istence as snowflake settles into the
river zone moment white, then gone
forever" There lie in wait for in
nocence, the wide world over a legion
Of plotting devils arrayed in livery of
light, honest appearing advertisements
that are tent hooks with which the
devil angles for souls; employers who
scarcely take the pains TO hide the
fangs OF wolves behind their smiling
lips; boarding-houses infested with
other and more hi1eous vermiu than
the-rat and the roach; companionship
OF more fatal effect to the soul than
hydrant water to the health; counsel
lors who spin yiewless webs and plot
ruin as the spider works destruction to
the stupid fly. All these, and great
many more, pitfalls lie in the way Of
the country girl as she turns her light
step from the cowsiip and the green
turf to take her place in the ranks OF
those who walk the path OF daily toll.

HEALTH REPORTS
FALSE, ASSERTS
Los ANGELES
Stories of Epidemic of InfantiIe
Paralysis Vigorously Denied.
None Has Existed.

LOS ANGELES, CAL Aug 81
Through the medium of irresponsible
newspaper correspondents, absolutely
false reports have been sent out from
this city of the existence of an infan-
tile paralysis epidemic
AS d matter Of fact this great ma
tional resort has enjoyed a summer of
exceptional beauty. and the scare"
has had no Justification whatever In
the health conditions of the metropolis.
Furthermore, Los Angeles citizens
were not even aware that such reports
were in existence and were both sur
prised and startled 10 find the city
credited with an epidemic of which
they had no knowledge themselves.
In this particular the situation is
unique
While papers elsewhere contained
sensational stories of the spread of the
disease, Los Angeles moved calmly on
it's way enjoying a parade of cool,
cloudless days, the beaches crowded
with merrymakers, it's hotels full and
in all particulars blessed with a happy
/ and prosperous summer season. There
have been isolated and fugitive cases
of infantile paralysis, but not more
than might be expected in any COM
munity of this size, these cases furnish
ing a trifiing percentage of the whole
population.
Merely as a matter of precaution the
health authorities prohibited children
from attending amusement places and
a few Sunday schools were closed in
congested districts.
Grossly Msinterpreted.
These official safeguards were in
tended to arrest instantly any spread
of the disease and by no means indi-
Gated an agitated state Of mind over
the few cases under the care of the
health department. But they were
grossly misinterpreted, and foolish
stories have grown in volume until Los
Angeles is credited in certain sections
with an epidemic that does not exist
and never dtd exist.
The population Of Los Angeles by the
latest compilation is 100000. The total
of 46 deaths from infantile paralysis
since June was but one death for
9,33s Of population. And even this
small aggregation OF cases shows a de-
cline
Furthermore, certain doctors and
critics Of the health department main
tain that through ver-zealousness
mistakes have been made in diagnos-
ing, that many cases credited as in
fantf1e paralysis have been nothing
more than collie and stomach disorders.
AS matter of fact the average of
infantile paralysis in Los Angeles is no
worse than in any other city and is
much less than in most cities.
