Studying Infantile Paralysis.

Health officers and physicians of
Caledonia, Essex. Lamoille and Or
leans counties held a conference in ST..
Johnsbury Thursday to discuss symp-
toms and treatment of infantile paral-
ysis. Sixty1 were present. DR.. G. S.
Caverly of Rutland, president Of the
state board'of health, DR.. H. A. Ladd
of Burlington. state inspector, DR.. G.
F. Dalton of Burlington and DR.. Henry
Holton Of Brattleboro addressed the
conference, urging great care in the
isolation of the disease. We read the
following report of the meeting: "The
firstgsymptoms are so similar it was
said to grip, scarlet and typhoid fever
that the greatest caution is essential
in Investigating and reporting any
suspicious cases. There was a general
resume of pre- sent knowledge of the
disease, including known symptoms,
each health officer being called upon
individually. Special stress was laid
upon the need of reporting cases to
the board and quarantining the pa
tients, since it is not known how the
disease spreads. Many Of the abort
i've or undeveloped cases do not bring
paralysis, but are able to spread the
disease TO people who will suffer the
paralysis. Vermont is not the only
state in the Union which is suffering
from the scourge, the disease being
prevalent in every state, but more
especially in the northern ones. The
death rate of II lost cases out of 80 is
nearly 20 per cent and very high.
Many who recover are left crippled for
life. Boards of health in many other
states are taking the same action of
reporting all cases and quarantining,
which is being followed out in Yer
mont in an attempt to arrest the
disease"

RPARALYSIS NOT. SPREADING.

While it was deemed advisable by
the state board of health as precau-
tionary measure, that all public gath
erings be for a time prohibited and
the opera hall and picture house as
we'll as public church services should
for a time discontinue, it still remains
a fact that there are only seven Quaran-
tined families within the entire corpor-
alton. Apparently the state doctors
aresunable to recommend any cure, or
any known methods of prevention. One
case outside our village looks as
though it might have been contagious.
while cases ssspringing up miles from
the village and among people who
have not been near this village, are at
present on the ratio of at least twenty
to one, against the contagion theory.
There is no attempt on the part OF the
people in Barton to discredit the fact
that we have had an epidemic of infan-
tile paralysis in town, but it is fact
thatsthe village has not been nearly
as afflicted with this disease as the
rural districts about us. and it is quite
natural that the business men of town
are much averse to. having this viii
lage advertised in the manner in which
it is being advertised as the center of
a plague dis trict. Since our last issue.
there has been just one new case in the
village although there have been
several cases Of indisposition which
at first were attributed to this disease.
The fact is that if you happen to have
a bad cold in your head, or bilious
attack, the first diagnosis may be
paralysis.

SURPRISING DAIRY FIGURES.

r. L. Chapel, tester for the Missis-
quoi Valley Cow Testing association,
has compiled the results for the year
ending June l. Herewith are some
conclusions drawn from the results.
There are % herds presented. Elev-
en- of the % produced over 200 pounds
fat and IL less than 200 pounds of fat.
Those in the 200 pound fat class. or
over, were about equally divided among
the large and small herds so the pro-
duction is not matter of the size Of
the herd.
The thing that stands out most prom
inently is the relation of the feed to the
production, especially with the grain.
The average feed cost of the high
producing herds was Slab for grain,
and S41.15 for the total cost of feed
while in the ow-producing herds the
grain cost was $7.06 and $32. 48 for the
total cost of feed. Not only does this
indicate that more feed could have
been fed with profit to those herds
which produced less than 200 pounds of
fat but the fact that the three highest
producing herds were the herds which
were fed the most grain and at the
same time were among the herds which
have the largest profit per COW. Fur
thermore, every cow among the ten
highest was fed at least $4,000 worth
of grain. The average profit from the
herds in the 20O-pound class was S31. 80
gains. $13. "a for the herds in the less
than 200 pound fat class or difference
of S17.45.
The difference in the total feed cost
of the two classes is S8.67 showing
that all the difference in production
was not used in feeding and at the
same time showing that after a COW
has been fed enough to maintain her.
self she uses the additional feed to the
advantage Of the owner. There are
some herds in the 200 pound fat class
with low grain cost but they are the
lowest in that class and the question
Immediately arises, "Could not these
farmers have done better to have fed
more grain as well as those herds
which produced less than 20 pounds of
fat?"

A New Pope Elected.

Cardinal Della Chiesa has been elect
ed pope in succession to the late Plus
10. The new pope will assume the
name of Benedict Is. Cardinal Gia-
coma Della Chiesa, who was Thursday
elected pope by the sacred college, was
created a cardinal May 25. 1914. He
is archbishop of Bologna, Italy. He
was born at Pegli. in the diocese of
Genes, Nov. 81, 1854. and was ordained
a priest Dec. 21, 1873. He served as
secretary of the Nunciature in Spain
from 1888 to 1887, in which year he
was appointed secretary to the late
Cardinal Rampolla. He was appointed
sub-secretary OF state in 1901, and in
1907 he was elected to the post of
advisor to the holy office. In 1907
he was appointed papal nuncio at
Madrid in succession to Mgr. Rinaldini,
but this appointment was cancelled
three. days later. This incident oc-
Cured just before he was made arch
bishop of Bologne. When Mgr. Della
Chiesa was given this post it was
declared in Rome that it was mainly
with the object of combating modern
religious ideas, Bologne being the
headquarters of the national democrat
ic league whose members advocated
religion. In January of 1914 while
still at Bologne the present pope issued
pastoral letter strongly condemning
the tango. 1t has been 174 years since
the last Pope Benedict. On his elec-
tion to the papacy in 1740 Cardinal
Lambertini assumed that title.
