Dr. Cunningham Writes Learned Treatise of Ter rible Disease, Its Causes, Effects and Its Prevention

pr. R M. Cunningham, city health officer, issues today bulletin No. b, and treats of infantile paralysis. acute polio myelitic.
 The statement follows:
 This is an infectious disease involving She central nervous system-the brain and the spinal cord. There are two kinds of structural material in the central ner- vous system-the white and gray. The white consists of numberless flores, and the gray of multitudes of cells. In the brain the gray matter is on the surface; in the cord, the white matter is on the surface The gray matter consists or cells. Attached to the cells are several very small threadlike processes-one of which is longer than all the rest. These cells are found in both the brain and
 .anal cord Those in the brain com y,uneiate with those in the cord, ana those in the cord communicate through their thread-like processes with the mus cles. These are the nerve cells and flores that make the muscles act. Those that enable sensation run in the opposite di- rection. Now in order that there may be motion or sensation there must be con tinuitv of the cells and flores of motion, and of the flores and cells of sensation.

WONDERFUL PATCH
 OF HUCKLEBERRIES

Twenty-Five acres of huck1eberries. in many places a single bush being found bearing bushel of fruit, grow on the J. w. Arnold farm, seven miles north west of Battle Creek. says Battle Creek, Mich, special to the New Yorl, World
 The wonderful berry patch is not en- tirely of wild nature, for MT. Arnold has carefully planned it and more care fully nursed it, until he has what is con sidered to be one of the finest and larg- est patches in this section of the state.
 Located in low marsh land, Mr. Ar hold has so arranged matters that in the winter he can flood the patch with water, which he keeps on it till late in the spring, thus avoiding the danger of late frosts and their killing effects on the berries. When the time comes that frosts seem no longer imminent he dams up the waters source and allows the marsh to dry. By following this plan this year he has bumper crop of ber- ries, while many persons with patches about his reaped comparatively few.
 MT. Arnold employs five pickers in the patch. An average picker can pick two and half bushels a day. A bushel wholesales at s4. and the pickers are given half the amount received, netting them on an average of s day. Huckle- berries now are retailing at from $2.25 to $40 a crate. There about two crates in bushel.
 Though the swamp land covers 24 acres in all and practically all of 1t is in huck- leberries, 15 acres of it has been especially cultivated and shows some exceptional fruit.
 All picking is done in pails and after supper the results of the days work are sorted over according to size and quality and placed in crates to be sent to the market.

MANY ARE KEPT BUSY
 MENDING MAILBAGS

From the New York World.
 Washington.-During the last fiscal year more than 2,250,OOO bags were re- paired. Mail bag repairing keeps a work ing fierce of 125 people busy in the Wash ington shop. There is a repair shop in Chicago, but by far the larger portion of the work is done in Washington.
 Two kinds of bags are used. One. not locked, is made entirely of canvas. The locked pouches have leather bottoms and tops. The bags are repaired by women, men mend the pouches. Thirty machines are employed in alarming the bags, besides F hand darners. Fifteen men do the pouch work.
 Hattie Maddux, a 'stringer" in the re- pair shop, has been blind for 40 odd years and has worked in the repair shop for more than 25 years. After a sack has been mended new rope is run through the top, and this is Hattie's work
 In a single year the amount received for discarded bags was $1.500 Since the establishment of the shop the receipts for discarded bags aggregated more than sl50.000.

NO. 1 FURNACE ID
 GO OUT. IF BLAST
 T0DAYOR MONDAY
Big Plant Will Be Refined. Force Will Be Given Tenn
 porary Work

For the purpose of refining No. 1 furnace at Ensley at a cost of $100,000. that plant of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company at Ensley will be taken out of blast today or Monday. The plant has been operating necessarily for several
 months at a high rate, and 1t is felt to be necessary that the plant be taken out of blast and refined.
 It was announced several days ago by George G. Crawford in reassuring state ment about conditions confronting his company that no plant would be operated at less capacity than has been main- tained during the summer. His only condi- tion in that statement was that perhaps necessity would force the cessation of operations at No. 1 for refining purposes It is stated that the production of iron will not be very greatly lowered by the inactivity of No. l, as other plants have recently been started which will keep the production up.
 The work of refining the furnace will not cause many workmen to be forced out of employment at that furnace Those that are of no service in connection with the refining will be taken care of with temporary employment at some of the other operations.

symptoms, signs and results depend upon the location and extent of the disease.
 Cause of Disease
 "The disease prevails epidemically, or may be confined to a single case. It is not a very prevalent disease. It occurs mostly in the summer and fall months. The vast majority is among children un- der years The germ that produces it has not been identified. Therefore, we fall back upon virus" In those af fected with the disease the virus is found in the brain and spinal chord the blood and secretions from the nose and throat This is proved by innoculating these into monkeys, and from monkey to monkey.
 Mode of Transmission
 ''rhis is not definitely known. A number of theories are advanced, based in experi- ment and observation. One of these is di- rect transmission from person to person through the nasal and throat discharges. It Is also thought that some are thus in- fected and become carriers, do not them selves have it, but transmit it to others. Another theory is through the instrument tality of the stable fly (not the house fly. although it breeds in stables). Rich ardson, Roseneau and Brues have proven that the disease has been communicated from monkey to monkey by the stable fly, Which bites diseased monkey and then bites a healthy monkey. This is plausible, as the virus of this disease is found in the blood. It has been also maintained that the disease is air-borne, being carried in dust. The opinion is held by some of the best writers and experimenters. espe- cially in Massachusetts that the stable fly conveys the disease and that it is not contagious. Bowel discharges are also thought capable of conveying the disease While the specific germ is not known, the manner of it's discharge from the body and it's mode of entrance are uncertain | it is safest to accept all the theories as l possibly true, to-wit: through the nasal and throat discharges, the bite of the stable fly and the inhalation of infected dust, not forgetting the possibility of the carrier.
 To Prevent Disease
 Fortunately, the disease is not very prevalent. From 1905 to 1909 there were | only 5514 cases in the United States The disease is most prevalent in the northern parts of Europe and the United States II does not seem to be disease of large cen ters of population, nor are these epidemics in schools, etc. It has been made a re- portable disease by the health authori- ties. Complete isolation, disinfection of nose and throat discharges, screening against insects, etc., and the disinfection of the nose and throat of those who come in contact with the disease. Preventive measures, like the mode of transmission. are largely theoretical.

 A third candidate from Louisiana has entered the race in the person of Leon smith. but it is understood that Senator Rdhsoeii or that state Is backing former Representative Arsene Puio while Sana- tor Thornton is supporting his law part ner, Horace H.

Undercurrent in Favor of Settling Dispute Among Alabama Congressmen
 Felt in Washington

Washington. September 5.--(Special.) ) Interest in the rivalry between. five states and dozen candidates for the office of judge of the federal bench in the Fifth circuit was heightened today by the ac- tiyity of several members Of the Alabama delegation in behalf of their respective favorites. Senator Bryan of Florida and his friends also kept at full pressure his campaign for the nomination
 In the Alabama ranks, Representatives Blaekmon, Dent and Mulkie visited the department of justice to urge the selec- tion of John B. Knox for the office. Rep resentative Heflin called in the interest of his brother, Harrington P. Heflin, and Representative Burnett announced that he would see Attorney General Gregory Tues day to lay before him the qualifications of F. O. Hood. Senator Bankhead and Sen ator White expect to call on President Wilson next week to ask the appointment of Judge Walker, and Representative Un- derwood hopes to see Attorney General Gregory on Tuesday on the same errand.
 Would Settle Rivalry
 At the same time there is a strong un- dercurrent of favor of settling the riv- airy between .'seven'' favorites of Ala bama by advocating the transfer of Judge Grubb for the district bench to the cir cult and recommending some man for Grupp's place. This appeals to some men
