Poliomyelitis Victims
of New York City to
Have Quarter Million

New York, Nov 23-The New York
Committee on After-Care Of Infantile
Paralysis Cases has begun campaign
to raise $250,000 to be used in caring
for the $500 children who were left
cripples by the disease. This Commit
tee was appointed by DR.. Haven Elmer
son, Commissioner of Health, some
time ago, when 1t became imperative
that concerted action be taken for the
relief Of victims of infantile paralysis
among the city's poor. It includes
orthopaedists, neurologists, pedia-
trists, hospital superintendent, the
heads Of nursing associations, and of
other home-care agencies. It includes
also a medical council of twenty-one
physicians.
The After Care Committee has esti-
mated that it needs .$250,000 to give
proper care to paralysis victims for
one year. Fifty or more hospitals and
dispensaries have been caring for the
victims as best they could, but they
have been seriously handicapped by
lack Of resources to meet the expense
of this extra work.
The work Of raising this fund has
been placed in the hands of Commit
tee on Appeal, Of which Robert w. de
Forest is chairman. Other members of
the Committee are: Mrs. William Pier
son Hamilton, Mrs. Frederic B. Pratt,
Mrs. WhiteIaw Reid, Mrs. James
Speyer, Miss Gertrude Robinson
Smith, Elliott C. Bacon, George Blum
enthal, Nicholas F. Brady, Irving L.
Bush, William Mamlin Childs, Cleve-
land H. Dodge, Joseph P. Grace, Fran
els L. Hine, Adolph Lewisjohn, Edwin
P. Maynard, Thomas s. McLane, Ed
win G. Merrill, Alexander M. White.
The Committee began the campaign
today and will conduct a spirited cam
paign for about week. This money
will be apportioned among the various
agencies, on the basis of work done,
in accordance with standards by the
public health committee OF the
Academy of Medicine.

want to tell you what your great
kidney remedy, Swamp-Root, has done
for me. To be frank I can safely say
it has saved my life, whenI was

pains in my back. My feet were
swollen so they felt numb. My urine
was in very bad shape. I saw your
remedy, Swamp-Root, advertised and
thought I would try 1t. After taking
the first bottle I experienced great re-
lief, and can say that I owe my life
to your wonderful kidney remedy, DR..

HOUSES BY CODE
Released From Wethersfeld
Last March, Now Arrest
ed in Jersey.

Joseph Anderson, alias George F.
Harris, alias Edward B. Dacey, a
gentleman burglar, who served time
in the Connecticut state prison and
was released last March, is under
arrest in Elizabeth, N. j., for rob-
berry.
Anderson, who is AZ years old,
has been a thief since he was nine,
and is not sorry for it. He was born
a thief and has lived a thief, even
making a study of thievery.
To a New Jersey detective he said
he had always lived up to this code
in his thievery:
Never to break a pane of glass to
enter a house.
Never to Jimmy q window.
Never to carry a revolver.
Never to rob a poor man.
He added that he had never smoked
nor drank, and that all his habits
were good, except his stealing.
Anderson had map of Long
Island, which showed the residences
of many wealthy Manhattanites. He
said he could easily gain access to
almost any Of the houses, but as to
his method he declined to talk. He
