Twelve monkeys were infected with

Of the illness Il large number of stable
flies We're introduced into the closely
screened cages containing the

certain period the stable flies were
transferred to cages containing well
monkeys. These animals after being
bitten by the flies developed all the
symptoms Of infantile paralysis, just
as they appear in children afflicted
with the disease. Some of the mon
keys died. DR.. Rosenau took tissues
from the monkeys thus infected by the
flies and injected them into a third set
Of monkeys. which thereupon devel-
Oped the disease.
A method for eradication and control
of infantile paralysis is now placed in
the hands Of sanitarians. It is be-
lieved that the necessity Of quarantine
is thus relieved and that it will suffice
to place a bed net around the patient.

every day l take what time l can
for this-sometimes it's an hour. some
times less-but always twenty minutes
or more.
"For agility l begin and conclude
with the grace hoops. Yes, it does give

agile, she Is pretty sure to possess a
lair amount of grace. l toss the hoop
into the air from the points Of the
sticks, then catch 1t on them again as
1t descends. If any one will play with
me We enjoy an active game, tossing
b hoop from one to the other, try
Ing not to let it fall, for that would
count a point against the one who did.
Then l take this large hoop and use
It as a jumping rope. That keeps the |
muscles Of my fingers, forearm, shout
ders and lower limbs in good condi- |
ton. l started by jumping through
the hoop five times, but now l can do !
1t twenty-five times without trouble.
"After a great deal Of practice 1 have
learned to balance the hoop on the
stick-this for steadiness Of nerve and
poise. That is an excellent exercise, |
but quite difficult to accomplish. but
it Is worth the trouble to learn in the
beneficial results obtained.
II use these two embroidery hoops
in place Of dumbbells. You know the
weight Of dumbbells has very little eff
feet upon the muscular development.
They only serve as a means of exercise.
One can get the same results with
these little hoops or with any other
article that can be conveniently held
in the hands, for that matter, If one
will imagine that they are heavy
and lift them with all the
force necessary to employ with the
real article.
II let my arms hang loosely at the
sides, grasping the hoops firmly in
each hand, then raise them even with
the shoulders and lower them five
times, lifting them slowly, as If their
weight We're great; then five times
over my head; In front Of my body,
where they touch each time; then ]
bend and touch the floor and last
touch them behind my back. Oh, it's
a fine general exercise! 1t limbers up
