HEALTH ADVICE TO
GUARD CHILDREN
DR.. Says Cleanliness is Preven,a-
tive of Infantile Paralysis
(By Samuel G. Dixon, M. d.

lnfantile paralysis is a disease that
affects the nervous system. 1t often
causes death, and again, the acute
stage frequently Subsidies and leaves
paralysis of one or more of the limbs
which often lasts through life.
Today we do not know what causes
the disease, therefore preventative
measures must be broad. You must
keep the children away from insect
life, such as flies, mosquitoes. feas,
bed bugs. ticks, ants. lice. etc. You
should see that all rats and mice
around the buildings are killed. Pet
cats and dogs should be washed with
a two per cent carbolic acid solution.
Everything should be kept clean
about the home. including the chill
dren.
Children should be fed well but not
indulge in large quantities of water,
ice cream or other frozen dishes on a
full stomach. as that will often cause
acute indigestion and render them
susceptible to other diseases. In
other words, the digestion should be
guarded carefully.
Children should have plenty of
sleep. They should not associate
with other children that are sick.
Their homes should be we'll ventilat-
ed, but screened. All foodstuffs
should be protected.
Children's mouths should be rlnsed
out and their threats gargled with
Debell's solution after each meal. If
the children are too young to rinse
or gargle, wash the mouth with a
piece of fabric dipped in Debell's
solution. Children should be kept
out of crowded places.
The youngsters should not be per-
mitted to sit on the damp ground nor
have their Lodies chilled, day or
night. They should not battle in
cold water.

has positive erect in making them

from school, but 1t is believed that
much might be done along the line of

OF leather straps which pass over the

The idea has been tried IN some
places and has met with success. At

that children carrying their books in
a strap frequently. becoming tired of
holding them in one arin,. throw the
books across their backs; also that
when carrying books under one arm
they generally assume nt-shoul-

manner of carrying the books and In
