PREVENT INFANTlLE PARALYSIS

The great epidemic of infantile para
lysis which is takin the lives of nun
dreds of children in New York and
other eastern cities at this time shows
how serious a matter it is in the
thiCkly populated sections, and the
fact that a few cases have been re-
ported in Boise and other nearby
towns impressivey urges the neces-
sity for great care in preventing the
appearance and spread of the diesase
in this community. II is intimated
by medical authority that it might be
well TO prevent children from playing
together, that is to keep them on
their own premises, not allowing them
to mingle with the children Of other
families, for the time being
1t Is believed that "distemper" in
dogs and horses is caused by the
same infection. Treating upon this
subject the Journal of the American
Medical Association of July 8, pub.
lishes the following:
1T is quite probable that the so
called 'distemper" which at times at
tacks dogs and may attack horses, Is
really caused by this same infection.
Hence, a dog afflicted with distemper
should be isolated and no child
should be allowed to associate with it
While it has not been shown that
flies win carry this disease, in all
probability they may transmit the in
fechon by their feet. Consequently,
flies should be excluded by proper
screens, if possible, from any animal
hat suffer trcm distemper, and GER
tainly should be prevented from reach
ing an individual sick with poliOmy-
litds
'As early as February ", 1919,
Flexner and Lewis showed that this
disease was contagious by means Of
the secretions Of the mucus men,
brane OF the nose especially, and also
of the throat, and that therefore
that every patient should be isolated,
and that the diseases should be made
reportable to the boards of health.
"The nurse and the family shoun
understand that the same care must
be exercised i'm destroying the conta-
GUM and preventing the contamina-
ton of articles and substances by the
secretion of the nose and throat Of
poliomylitis patient as is so well un-
derstood must be taken in diptherda.
"As soon as case is reported TO
the board of health, the school board
should be informed (as such cases
are frequent in children too young to
go to school that they may send home
from school the other children of the
family, and if there is an epidemic,
perhaps the other children Of that
tenement. Te incubation period is
said to vary, and may be as long as
ten days. but TO be safe from causing
infection in others, such children
should remain out Of school for two
weeks.

STORY OF A COW

Nearly every week some Of exchanges have
story about the remarkable record Of some COW their
neighborhood Usually these stories originate in
section where daryng is followed extensively, and the
quantity Of milk is given in pounds with the per Of
butter fat
Knowing that there is but little dairying in around
Mountain Home the editor had but little hope Of finding
good Cow story" here but this week developed,
though the figures must be given dollars and cents.
The COW is Durham the property Of E. J. Colhorp.
He purchased the animal Dec. 2l 1910, and since that
time in FIVE years. six months and ten days. the Cothorps
have sold $803.50 worth Of milk an average yield Of
1928 year. besides supplying the family with milk and
cream The milk was sold at the rate Of thirty quarts for
$500
Only one year was figured separately and during
that year the gross return was $685.
OF course the above is the record of an exceptional
cow but we take the records Of whole herds that come
from the Buh country around Meridian or any of the
other places where commercial daiying is engaged n it
will readily be that good dairy a splendid
investment and by great many people who interested
in Mountain Home the dairy industry is looked upon as
the thing that will pull this country out Of the hole

LOTS OF VACATIoNlsTS

Some idea of the number OF peo-
pie who are going on vacations INTO
the hill country back of Mountain
Home can be gained from the report
that fifty-six cars passed Dixie FRI

camping places along the Boise river,
though some are going over into the
Wood river country.

HAS LEASED THE
MELLEN PROPERTY
Pocatello Man is Going
To Open Hotel
Story Circulated That Mr.. Green
street, Who Was Here This
Week Has Signed Lease

Taking a story that is being circu-
lated at its face value enables the Re-
publican to announce the opening OF
the Mellen hotel property in the near
future by Mr.. Groenstreet, of Po-
catcllo and for the past couple OF
years the proprietor of the Hotel
Oliver at that pL&ce, The fact that
Mr.. Greenstrtet was here for several
days Sizing up the situation and the
further fact that there Is considerable
activity around the hotel building
goes to substantiate the story. The
II publican man has been unable to
see Mr. Mellen to verify the report.
This hotel was operated for a num-
Der of years by W. d. Evans and
was known throughout this section az
the Evans hotel. Mr., Evans gave
up his lease on the property January
first Of this year and since that
time Mr. Mellen the owner of the
property, has been having the place
repaired and renovated. This work
is practically completed now, but Ii
will likely require several weeks to
get new furniture installed and get
the place ready for opening.

EXPLAINS Why Men
ARE GROWING BALD

Thousands of men are growing bald
every day and don't know the reason
why. Many of them never expect to
save even what hair is left
This is indeed a pity, says a
specialist because badness usually
comes from carelessness and anyone
who gives the scalp little attention
should always have an abundance Of
good healthy hair. Dust and dirt
help TO cause badness by clogging the
pores in the scalp and giving the
,dandruff germs fertile ground for
breeding.
The treatment is very simple:
Shampoo at least once in ten days and
destroy the dandruff germs by apply
ing frequently Partisan Sage, de-
lightfully efficient preparation that
w. L. Gokay is now recommending as
the surest treatment to stop falling
hair. to remove dandruff and to re-
fresh and invigorate the hair roots
The cost of a generous bottle of
Partisan Sage is very little and dghg-
gists everywhere have been authoriz.
ed TO offer it with guarantee Of per-
feet satisfaction or money returned.
