Denver-Concerning the possibility
of an outcropping OF the infantile par
alysis epidemic that is raging in
eastern cities. its nature and its man
ner spreading, DR.. s. r. McKelvey.
secretary of the Colorado State Board
of Health says:
THE present agitation over the out
break of acute poliomyelitis or infant
lie paralysis in New York may justify
brief statement from the health de-
partment of this state. When laymen
see by the official reports that about
one-fourth OF the children who take
this disease die and very large per-
crippled for life. 1t Is unnecessary to
go to the specialist to learn that the
disease named is a serious matter.
In 1907 there was an outbreak Of
poliomyelitis in New York embrac-
ing nearly 5000 cases. but at that
time the disease was not so well un-
derstood as 1t il now
THE virus which produces the dis
ease is conveyed through the naso-
pharynx. The infected nasal dis
charges constitute the vehicle most
commonly conveying the infection.
Dogs, cats, flies. bed bugs and other
living objects besides mankind carry
the deadly virus.
Persons apparently we'll may carry
the disease from one part OF the couu-
try to another. From three to thirty
days may elapse from time of ex-
posure before there is any manifesta-
tion of the disease. The child appar-
emily well may suddenly lose the use
of one or more of It's limbs. This may
or may not bo preceded or accom-
panied by gastro-intestinal or febrile
disturbance. The spinal cord is tho
primary seat of the disease. hence the
paralysis
The regulations of this board tell
ing how patients infected with this
disease should be Isolated and quar-
antined have been sent to every ply
sician and health officer in this state.
while we do not know whether
there will be conveyance of this dis
ease to Colorado, there is no good rea-
son for any excitement at this time
Any railroad conductor who might
discover a case of poliomyelitls on his
train is required by law to report the
case Immediately. Any physician
who discovers case must report to
the local health officer must report the
local health officer must report the
case to this board Immediately. Any
physician or health officer wilfully
failing to comply with these require
ments is likely to be arrested y
Should there me an outbreak this
board will fight the disease to the ex
tent of means available.
Through this office the United
States Public Health Service in Wash
ington is keeping in touch with con
ditions in Colorado as 1t is doing in
each state"

PIGEON WAKES BOYS
TO DELIVER PAPERS
Hartford Comm Lads Promptly
Aroused at $3.50 Every Morn
ing BY Pet Bird.

Hartford, Conn.-Herbert and Stew
ard Carlson, brothers, are paper car
riers Ia South Manchester and In order
to get the papers around IN time ii Is
necessary for them 10 arise each morn
ing at $50 o'clock. Ordinarily an
alarm clock would be necessary to get
them out. but they have a better meth
cd. They are called each morning by
a pigeon.
About "A year ago Steward Carlson
found a pigeon hat had met with an
accident. 1t was only IA squad. Its
wing seemed TO be broken and one leg
was damaged. The boy took Ii home,
gave 1t attention and the wing grew
stronger, the leg improved and after
awhile It learned to fly. Instead OF
dying away It remained I'm the neigh
borhood and became a chum OF the
boys In the territory.
The pigeon must have noticed the
two boys leaving the house each morn
ing about $50 o'clock and appointed
itself an alarm clock. Every morning
now, just at $50, the pigeon leaves its
coop, flies to the window of the room
In which the boys sleep and COS and
pecks at the screen until they awake.

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City. Aug. Receipts of
cattle for today's session was limited,
estimate calling for 400 head. as
against 545 a week ago and 699 the
corresponding day a year ago.
The falling off in supplies tended
to check the weaker tendencies in
the market for killing cattle and the
deal was steady with here and there
a strong spot on fed kinds. or the
kinds that just suited buyers fancy.
No great amount of change was
noted i'm the outlet for the few stock
ers that arrived. Quota was light
and everything cleared in good sea
son.
Run of hogs proved the largest for
some time. over 200 ears putting in
appearance. General conditions were
bearish, and with the heavy supply
at hand. buyers were able to force
prices about a dime lower on the
average as compared with yesterday.
Selected lights sold as high as S9.65,
while the big end of the days run
cleared within a spread of $500 a
