advantages of being informed OF
what goes on in the community
in which they live, as well as
throughout the world in general,
advertising, especially newspa-

A great many more men than

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 28.--Bacter~
iologists and physicians here are to-l
day inclined to accept the theory ad-
vanced by DR.. e. w. Sanders and
demonstrated before them that infan-
tile paralysis was originally disease
of fowls and that 1t is transmitted to
children by the larvae of the fly. The
theory was first advanced by the doc
tor two months ago. Since then lab
oratory tests have proven that all
fowls are subject to the disease. A
monkey used to demonstrate the
deadly effect of the larvae expired
while Dr.. Sanders was lecturing be-
fore the ST. Louis Medical society
displaying all the symptoms OF the
disease that has caused the death Of
SO many children and which for two
hundred years has baffied medical
skill. All physicians who heard the
doctor agreed that If he had at last
found the cause of infantile paralysis
a great step had been taken toward
| fighting the disease.
DR.. Sanders some time ago called
attention to the fact that infanti!e
paralysis is prevalent only during the
4 insect season. Then he became i'm
pressed with the idea that the dis
ease in chickens known as limbel
i neck was OF similar symptoms. His
I studies caused him to believe that thu
disease was transmitted by flies. Hi

with all the infantile paralysis symp
toms, except to cats and rabbits which

cas- of a fowl deposited their eggs u
fruit or on meat and If any child IL
eating the fruit or meat should swal

Surgeon General Rupert Blue Of the

Surgeon Blue said there were four
methods of prevention: Legislation,

Education, he explained, would have

COMMON SENSE AND THE
 COURT.

The Kansas Supreme Court has just rendered a decision that, if patt:rned after in other states will do much to diSsipate the prevailing sentiment in favor of the recall of judges and judicial decisions and to. lessen the pro- tests sgalnst the laws delays. The court has decided to put stop to the Eratt1ce of appealing cases because a few lines of incompe- tent evidence happen to find their way i.,to the trial of case.
 'Jurors," says the Kansas court, ''aie not sensitive plants from which every slight breeze or breath of incompetent evidence must he excluded in order to maintain their qualifications to decide case. When the issues have been fully presented it is not the policy of the law to send the case back for another trial unless there is material preju- dice."/
 Whats to become of jurispru- dence if lawyers are not to be permitted to appeal cases upon the ground that the court below committed error in the assump- tion that the jurors were crea- lures of intelligence?
 Decisions of this character may be little rough on Lawyer Quibble but they will aid the cause of justice and be satis- factory to litigants and to the public.--EX
