NOT DEADLIEsr or DISEASES
Other and More Common Complaints
Are Far Worse Than infan-
tile Paralysis.


The only reason We are all SO ex-
cited about lnfantile paralysis Is that
II is an uncommon disease aud its epi-
denies are comparatively new TO us,
says the New York Medical JournGl.
Diphtheria, measles and scarlet fever
are old diseases and always with us.
Yet no one offers large prizes for a
cure, nor do local health authorities
take the trouble to organize campaigns
to stamp them out
Diphtheria kills approximately %
coo in the United States every year.
Six tiiles as many die Of scarlet fever
as Of infantlle paralysis. The latter
disease is especially dreaded because
Of the crippling that SO often follows
it, "but the crippling from scarlet fe-
yer alone, the impaired hearing, dam
aged kidneys and heart defects, If not
so evident, is more serious than IN abb
breviated aud weakened limb, and The
army CT scarlet-fever cripples is larger
than we realize. The same is true Of
measles. diphtheria. whooping cough
typhoid and malaria"

little girl. If l succeed will you mar

she replied promptly.
After a season Of rapturous silence
Denny explained. "Grandfather has
some rare books, you know. He's a
dyed-in-the-woo bibliomaniac. Last
year he bought a rare old edition OF
Shakespeare. but there was no record
Of it to be had. Rosencranz the man
he got It from, is dead, and no one
knows where Rosencranz got 1t. I'm
to hunt up the history of the thing and
after that grandad will start me in
business. That means you, Mary. It's
worth working for, isn't it. dearl"
Then started a period Of study and
investigation for Denny which meant
more application, hard work and self
denial than he had ever before under
taken ia his gay young life. He haunt
ed book shops and collections, Libraries
and publishers to get some ciew that
would lead to the discovery Of the
history Of the books. He studied bind
ing and processes. modern illustrating
and old illuminations. But this side
Of the Atlantic yielded no information
on the subject, and Denny determined
to cross the water in spite Of German
submarines. to pursue his inyestiga-
tions in England.
Then Mary, who had taken a keen
interest in his efforts and had followed
every move he had made, decided to
do something. There WAS something

Brush Finish for Brass.

Steel wool win be found to be a
very useful material for giving brass
and similar metals q brush finish by
rubbing them with it. Care should be
taken that the rubbing is done in one
direction, otherwise a scratched sur
face will result. A lacquer should be
applied to prevent furnishing. A thin
solution of white shellac in alcohol ap-
piled with a brush Is satisfactory as a
lacquer for large work, and small
pieces may be dipped in the solution.
Anclently the plant equiseta or "mares

perience with a rusty gun, provides a

very good over the vote out there, as
it is the first time in the history of
the county that Democratic Presi-

the vote given President Wilson in
Seward county, we had no idea 1t was
the banner county of the state in the
matter of percentage Of votes cast
for him.

TWO OLD PROBLEMS.
The Moving Train and the Bullet
Fired From q Rifle.

Fired From q Rifle.
A correspondent sends these two
questions to the Scientific American:
"First.-If a train was running at q
speed of sixty miles an hour and
man is sitting on the back end Of this
train with a gun that would shoot at
the rate of sixty miles an hour and he
shoots from the back end Of this train
In opposite direction. what effect
would this condition have on the bull
lett
"Second.-If the man with the gun
was on the front end Of this train and
was to shoot back ut man on the
back end OF train and train to be 60
ing sixty miles per hour and the gun
would shoot at the rate of sixty miles
an hour what would be the resultT'
To which the editor replies:
"First.-In the case you propose the
bullet after It left the gun would still
move forward with the speed of the
train and backward with the speed
given It by the powder Since these
two speeds are equal and opposite in
direction the bullet would drop to the
ground directly under the point where
II left the gun.
"Second.-In this case the man at
whom the bullet was shot would be
killed II the aim was good. This may
be made clear perhaps by asking IL
you could not throw a ball on train
to man to the rear of the place. where
you were standing? Could You not
toss biscuit to person in the next
seat I'm car either toward the front
or rear? II you could toss biscuit
you could fire a bullet I'm either direc.
ton and with the usual result when
bullet is fired This matter seems very
simple to us. We do not know why 1t
causes 80 much discussion"
