Dr. Sumner asserted that although
cases of infantile paralysis are rare
to the average doctor, there should
be no trouble in diagnosing the dis
ease. He said that the symptoms are
headaches, high fever, and partial
paralysis, especially of the limbs. and
that these symptoms appearing In a
child are almost certain Indications
Of this disease.
TN 1910 infantile paralysis ap-
peared in epidemic form in Iowa.
During that year it was general all
over the country, particularly in Mas
sachusetts. Nebraska and Minnesota.
AT that time a careful study was
made of the disease by the Iowa state
board OF health and a bulletin de-
scribing the disease was issued which
has become an authority on the sub
ject.

"The public of Iowa has been edu-
Gated as much as it is necessary that
1t be educated on the subject of i'm
fanttle paralysis. think that there
need be no fear OF an epidemic of
that disease In the state and it Is
not even necessary to send out a
warning, If the literature sent on by
the state board OF health has been
preserved" G. IT. Sumner, secretary
OF the state board OF health, stated
last night.
ut is really the wrong time Of the
year for infantile paralysis to break
out" he declared. "It usually ap-
pears in August and September. The
|supposition is that the disease is
more prolific in very dry and hot
weather"
Experiments show that the saliva
of child that has the disease rubbed
in the nostrils OF monkey conveys
the disease to the monkey. II our
Instructions are followed when cases
develop there will be no epidemic.
There must be an absolute quarau-
tine of all cases. All children who
have been where the disease is should
have their nostrils and mouths treat
ed with per cent solution OF hydro
gen peroxide.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
BARNUM & BAILEVs CIRCUS.

While so much is being said in this enlightened age about child labor and It's restrictions some steps might be taken toward the prevention Of labor of the old performers in Barnpm and Baileys Circus which exhibits here Tuesday, June 18th.
 It is not generally known that one of those forced to perform twice a day in the ring is one hundred and sixteen years old. a dear old lady cockatoo that goes by the name of Lucy. The queer thing about it is that Lucy may live to be twice as old as she Is now, and that she does not at all object to doing her tricks-at least she never complains.
 Lucy is a big cockatoo that turns back somersaults. She is the only bird known that can do 1t, and she returns as unruffled and cool to her perch after that feat as if she knows what blow shc is giving to all established cockatoo traditions. Lucy is a native of the Antipodes, which may be why she is able. to stand on her head with such equani- mity, since geography tells us that an the natives of the Antipodes are upside down with respect to us.
 Lucy has other tricks, and she is only one of the little band of perform CTS trained and exhibited by Mime. AIarceIl2 and constituting one of the entirely new features of the Barnum & Bailey programme. Some of the birds jump through flaming hoops ride bicycles and do other marvels ATme Marcella has fifty-five birds in her rookery and they comprise cock: atoos. macaws. parrots and a raven which has been performing twenty nine years.
 T love the bords so much,' said Afme Marcella in recent interview "and I have been friends with them ever since was child in the Hartz Mountains Germany. was brought up in the midst of pigeons and house. hold birds. and it was not long before l had pets among the forest birds as we'll My secret in training then is to be kind and patient and never to use stick if can help it.
 T feed my birds twice a day. They love fruit and wine. and have tC give them once in a while a little whiskev and water, to protect then from the cold, which is much sharp CT here than in their native climate They are not the least afraid of the band at the circus, and the bright lights at night make them think oi the glaring sun. to which they are ac- customed. The birds are happier when out on the circus stages thar at ony other time."

DAVIS THEATRE
The HattIe crx of Peace.

The Battle Cry of Peace, at the Davis all this week with matinee each day, J. Stuart BlaclSton's tremendous photoplay depicting the horrors of war as 1t would be waged by an un- Bcrupulous foe against us in our pre- sent defenseless condition, is remark able not only for the fact that it was inspired by Defenseless America, the famous book by the no less famous inventor, Hudson Maxim, who per- sopally appears in the picture, but for the fact that 1t has been the cause of more editorial comment than any photoplay ever produced. All the principles in the great picture are dramatic stars of the first magnitude.
 Charles Richman, who plays the leading role in the character of John Harrison who is in love with Vir- ginia Vandergriff, the daughter of MT. Vandergriff, the prominent ''pacifist'' and favorer of complete disarmament is known to theatre goers all over the United States for his recent unequal Tn George Broadhursts famous play, Bought and Paid For. Some other of his famous roles have been in A Mans World, and in The Commuters and One of the Family. In addition to these Mir. Richman has appeared in numerous Shakespearean artists of the day.
 J. Stuart Blaclton has secured his exclusive services for the screen.
 Tn addition to the unusual aggre- gation of stars appearing in the pic ture it is a noteworthy fact that Ma 5or General Leonard Wood, chief o1 staff of the United States army, ap- pears in the picture as a guarantee of his whole hearted approval of the plea for preparedness against war which is the theme of its tremendous story
 The picture cost $50O00O to pro- duce. Tn it appear 25,0OO men of the National Guard of the State of New York, 800 members of the Grand Ar my of the Republic, 5000 horses ana 5000 supernumeraries
 Special music and effects arranged by an expert is played during the production by an enlarged orchestra

DEVEL oPMENT OF METAL
 PRODUCTION IN SERBIA
Austro- Hungary Making Plans tc
 Benefit by It's Resources.

Belgrade, Serbia, June S.-If Ser bia remains under Austro-Hungarian control after the establishment of peace the Balkan state probably will take a prominent position among the worlds metal-producing countries, as the present conquerors of Serbia are laying plans to develop the mineral resources. In antiquity the country was the largest gold-producer in Eu- rope. Its copper mines had, prior to the conquest of the Balkans by the Turks, developed to a considerable ex- tent, those exploited by French com- pany at Bor netting annually as much as 50 ped cent of the capital invest ed.
 Gold Eas been won in Serbia in re- cent years principally through placer mining. The production was small, however, as work was confined as a rule to localities which had been all ready worked over by the ancients
 Silxer is found only in conjunction with other metaals. The copper ores of Bor contain from 96 to 120 grames per ton. The lead ores of Postenje near Krupanj and those of Avala on the Crneni Mountain also furnish con- siderable silver At AVaia quicksilver points, but so far no efforts have been made to develop the deposits. Ars- chic exists at JasiAova.
 Copper ores occur in great quantity. Most of them resemble in character and geological deposition those of Butte, Montana The Mines at Bon notably the one known as Cul1adulkan, are especially rich. Ores taken from this mine are six per cent copper, which ref1nes into 90.62 per cent cop | per, and gives per ton 24 to 30 grammes gold, 96 to 120 grammes sil- yer. Invested is a capital of $500 900 francs. In the year 1912-13 the pro- duction of ore was 7,e00 tons.
 Iron also is found in Serbia, es- peciaIly in the northeastern parts o1 the country. The lack of coal and coke has in the past prevented the de- veIopment of the iron and steel in- dustry, the small output of iron ores having been transported on the Dan- ube to points in Austria Hungary.
 Before Serbia's mineral resources can be developed prohtaibly, an exten. sion of the countryss railroad system must take place, it Is pointed out Al present the ores are generally cartet or carried by pack animals. Many O. the best deposits can be reached by short narrow-gauge lines from thu Danube, so that greater accessibility from this convenient waterway vii not entail prohfbftive investments
