The following is taken from an
advertisement that appeared over the
signature of John Wanamaker, the
merchant prince:
passing through the little. towns
of Jersey to the sea. it is an old habit
in the deepening dusk TO watch the
light appeare in the houses by the
way. They start first at the rear Of
the house. sometimes in the front
room next TO the porch, now and then
in the second story sack, rarely in
the attic, unless some one is sick, and
not more than once IN winter, and
that being Christmas, when company
comes, is every room in the house
illuminated.
"How differently every town would
look if there were more lighting up
of homes and stores! How many men
and women theN are in every place
who are seldom seen to smile and
who go about like coming thunder
storm!
"a few men and women shine now
and then, but hardly any are lumin-
GUS right along like Thomas A. Edi-
son.
Lets try to use our faculties to
make rverything bright wherever
we stand
Everything ugly disappears in the
bright light"

1 NEWSPAPER MUST HAVE
STAMINA.

no one without actual editorial eX
perieace can appreciate the tests of
manhood and integrity shat comes to
every journalist who fully under
stands the mission of his calling AMI
the obligations he owes the public.
From the public the newspaper draws
it's support and yet from the public
Genes its trials. Persuasion. pres
sure and threats come frequently
from individuals and certain groups,
to sway the editor from the line OF
duty. Here is the test-ald at this
point many we'll meaning but weak
newspapermen yield. Many times the
pressure is formidable and staggers
the business management by the pos
5sible loss of business. Sometimes it
takes the form of a boycott, some
times the temporary loss of patron
age from strong individuals, and
sometimes in the form of threatened
violence. There is but one course to
pursue, if the editor expects TO main
tain himself. He must stand firm to
sauty and to principle. He must give
aracter and force to his paper if
Expects il to win public respec;
onfidence. But he must do this
" airit of fairness and without the
malice or vindlctiveness.

Treatment For
Infantile Paralysis
BY Or. Woods Hutchinson, Medical
Expert.

Expert.
In the present epidemic Of infantile
paralysis Health Commissioner Elmer.
son of NeS York has reported that the
death rate among those children taken
to the hospital is only one-fourth az
great as that of those remaining out,
side, and the paralysis so far devel-
oped only about half as frequent or as
serious.
Curiously enough, the disease, like
most Others of the brain and spinal
cord is not disease Of the nerve cells
themselves, but of the blood vessels
supplying them. So that what really
happens is that the center or group of
cells in the spinal cord supplying the
paralyzed muscle is not so much poi
soned as suddenly deprived Of its blood
supply by the blocking of the tiny ar
teries.
If, therefore, the limb or part OF
limb involved can lie kept absolutely
ut rest and the little patient kept as
perfectly comfortable and as abundant
~ nourished as possible so as TO throw
10 strain upon this center in the cord
for few hours or days until II has
time to, SO TO speak, scurry around and
rustic some liquid food from some 9TH
err arteries or veins in the neighborhooi
which have not been blocked. cOmpara-
