Cause Of lnfantiIe PARALYSIS.

It was announced about two
years ago that infantile paralysis
was caused by the stable fly, an
insect somewhat smaller than the
common house fly and which is
capable of biting persons az well
az horses. This story seems to
have been exploded by q series Of
experiments and Investigations
conducted by Dr.. E. w. Saunders
Of st. Louis, DR.. Roland Nielsen.
bach Of Buffalo and DR.. w. E.
Wisdom Of DeQueen. Ark. These
physicians declare that the green
fly, which is attracted by decaying
matter, is the insect which trans.
mits germs of infantile paralysis.
At meetings Of several medical
societies last year they made pre-
liminary reports; now, in the
Journal of the Missouri State
Medical Association, they publish
an exhaustive report.
Infantlle paralysis is one Of the
most dreadful diseases known. II
attacks children so suddenly that
one who has gone to bed seeming.
" perfectly we'll may awake in
the morning paralyzed and may
die in agony, or may die in agony
or may rec yer but be more or
less paraiy zed the rest of its life.
These doctors write thus of the
green H.:
SIN the green fly we have an insect
which approximates ubiQuity far more
closely than the house fly. Every
sportsman can tell that 10 summer he
cannot md fish in his boat. half
mile from shore, without finding In
q few minutes one or two green flies
on it. When any game is shot on q
warm day in autumn these same green
dies are there before the sportsman
reaches his game. From Canada to
Florida We hear exactly the same
story.
Almost every alley in the cities of
the United States contains this in
sect. It is very strong of wing and il
possessed of a wonderful power Of
scent, is extremely hardy and with

housefy. It is not domestic fly and

IT Is war.

War exists between the United
States and Mexico. Huerta, the
dictator of the latter country, re-.
fused to apologize for deliberate
insult to our flag made by officers
Of his army. The United States
Immediately seized Vera Cruz, the
chief sea port of the country, and
3 portion Of the railroad leading
10 Mexico City. Huerta thereupon
declared war. For q short time
the vain hope prevailed that we
would only have to fight that fac.
ton Of the Mexican people led by
Huerta; but Caranza, the leader
Of the faction there self.sty led
Constitutionalists, was not slow
70 demand that the United States
evacuate Vera Cruz or he too will
fight for Mexico. Therefore the
die 10 cast. War is now on with
tho people Of that ill-starred re.
public, and il is 20. Our govern
ment must not and cannot recede
from the conflict. The guage Of
battle must be accepted. Though
much money will be spent and
much precious blood will be shed
still the honor and dignity Of our
country must be maintained, let
the cost be what it may. It should
be . vigorously crushing war.
Not tor aggrandizement, but for
civilization.
The time has come when this
arrogant and half. civilized repub.
lie should realize that it's reign Of
blood rapine ana anarchy must
cease. For many years she has
been . blotch and . blur on civil.
ixation. Let the President strike
boldly. The people Of this coun-
~ are supporting him.

val division Of Lord Kitchener's new
army, with 5000 men in camp, who
may be called to the same duty as
that of the British naval brigade in
the much criticized operations at Ant

The men of the naval division dress
as sailors in blue sailor blouse n
flaring trousers. They also swing in
to hammocks at night instead of
sleeping on mattresses. But at this
point they cease to be sailors, and 1t
is doubtful whether they will ever
walk the deck of a ship, unless of a
transport. Their training Is precise
ly that of the infantryman, and their
fighting will be in naval landing par
ties.
