Alexandria, Nov. while re-
turning to the home of her parents a
few miles north of Fulton, Miss Eta
Huber. a young lady, aged 20 years,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen
Huber, was thrown from the buggy
and sustained injuries resulting in
her death within a few hours. The
young lady was returning from Full
ton, where she had been shopping,
when the horse which she was driy-
ing became frightened and began
running, and when turning a corner
sharply Miss Huber was thrown from
the buggy. Two young men at work
in a field nearby witnessed the acct
dent and at once summoned assist
ance and the unfortunate girl was at
once taken TO her home in an uncon-
scious condition, from which she
never recovered. Medical aid was at
once summoned when it was found
that one arm was broken, her neck
severely injured, besides having sus-
tanned serious internal injuries.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS
ANIMALS NOT TO BLAME FOR
SPREAD OF THE DISEASE.

Washington, Nov. THE weight
of present opinion inclines to the
view that poliomyelitis (infantile
paralysis is exclusively a human dis
ease that Is spread by human contact,
whatever causes may be found to dis
tribute the disease. This is the con
elusion reached by a committee of the
American Public Health association
made here by the United States pub
lie health service.
THE specific cause of poliomye-
~litis," continues the report, lis a
micro-organism, a so called virus.
which may be positively identified at
present only by it's production of poll
omyelitis in monkeys experimentally
i~noculated. Such experiments have
shown this virus to be present not
only in the nervous tissues and GER
tain other organs of persons who
have died of poliomyelitis, but also
in the nose, mouth and bowel dis
charges of patients suffering from
the disease"
The committee recommends the
following procedure in attempting TO
control the disease: Requirement
that all recognized and suspected
cases be promptly reported; isolation
of patients in screened premises for
at least six weeks; disinfection of
body discharges; restriction of move
ment of intimate associates as far as
practicable, as exclusion of children
of the family from school and other
gatherings: protection of children
from contact with other children or
the general public during %epidemics;
observation of contact for two weeks
after the last exposure. The report
concludes:
There is no specific treatment of
established value in poliomyelitis.
During the persistence of the symp-
toms the important principles of
treatment are rest in bed, sympto-
matte relief and passive support for
the prevention of deformities. Active
measures during this stage are not
only useless, but are apt to cause Sc
rious and often permanent injury.
disqualification of patients, where
possible, should be encouraged. The
best chances of recovery from resid-
ual paralysis demand skilful care.
EilSctlNc preventive medsuTes,
approaching complete control" the
report says. are 'impracticable be-
cause isolation of recognized cases of
disease and restraint upon their i'm
mediate associates must fail to pre-
vent the spread of the infection by
recognized cases and carriers"
Nevertheless, ii continues, we
may hope for the development of
more thorough knowledge which will
permit of more efficient control of
the disease than is now practicable"

VOTES OF WOMEN.

Do women realize that they al
ready vote in the most effective way
on important questions?
Every time a m buys an arti-
Gle it is a vote, backed by money, for
that article. a sipcere approval of its
merits.
So women have been voting on the
question of health. When they have
suffered from woman's ailments their
vote has been overwhelming for Ly-
