.|NFANTILE PARALYSIS
GERM DISCOVERED.
Dr.. Burow Says It Enters the System Through
the Mouth in Raw Food. It
Lodges in the Colon

Baltimore, Oct, 23.-The mys-
terry surrounding the cause OF the
spread Of infantile paralysis has
been solved, according to an Of
fetal announcement made tonight
at Johns Hopkins hospital. Ex-
tensiye reseach conducted by DR..
Horace T. Burrows, pathologist OF
the hospital, has resulted in the
discovery Of the iniantie paralysis
germ, the existence Of which was
established nine years ago by DR.
Simon Flexner Of the Rockefeller
institute.
According to DR.. Burrows, the
disease is not spread by contagion,
but the germ is introduced into
the human system through the
mouth in milk or water.
Present always in every case OF
the disease a germ has been found
in the big intestine, showing that
the disease is spread by some raw
food. That the food is milk or
water is established by the fact
that babies whose only diet has
been milk or water, died OF the
disease.
DR.. Burrows and this assistants,
under the direction of Prof. Viii.
liam H. WEIGH, have been making
autopsis upon every victim of the
disease since July. They have
conducted careful microscopic
search.
OF the diseased organs, it has
been found that the germ occurs
only in the colon. The investiga'
tons prove that since 100 per cent
are infected in this big intestine BY
way Of the mouth, food and drink
must be the carriers. This dis.
covery demonstrates for the first
time clearly that raw food contains
the germ Of iniantile paralysis.

FARMING
RESULTS SHOWN.
Campaign for Improved Conditions in Agrcu-
tre and Stock Raising Bearing Fruits.
Farmers Alive to Opportunities.

That the farmers in the South
are taking hold Of the information
available through the various
agencies working for improved
agricultural conditions, and are
turning this information to good
accounts shown in the annual re.
port OF the Nashville. Chattanooga
& st. Louis railway, which road is
conducting a vigorous camgaign
for better farming methods and the
introduction Of purebred livestock
on the farms throughout its terri
tory. The road is also heartily
CO. operating with the various 9TH
er agencies at work along similar
lines.
In classifying the traffic along
its lines, the increase in tonnage
on products OF agriculture, live
stock and products OF animals is
most gratifying. During the past
year it is shown that the tonnage
Of products Of agriculture amount
ed to ], 139, 753 as compared with
1,076, 831 tons the previous year,
while the shipments OF livestock
and products ofanimals was 1884,
$50 tons as against 277,92O tons
the previous year,
These two classes Of freight
shipments constituted 26.77 per
cent Of the total tonnage handled
by the road during the year.
As showing that the farmers
along the line are alive to the op-
portunities presented, and that they
are taking advantage Of the in
formation and demonstrations
furnished through the agricultural
department Of the road in co-opera-
ton with the other forces in the
several states through which the
road operates, the figures on ton
mage originating on the lines Of
| the road clearly demonstrate.
Last year the live stock tonnage
originating on the road was 76,508
tons as against 60,625 tons the
previous year. Shipments Of grain
originating on the road we're 49,
902 tons as against 1892 the
previous year. Tobacco shipments
we're 1886 tons as against 10,56O
tons the previous year, and the
shipments OF hay almost doubled,
being 1884 tons as against 6,998
tons the previous year. Shipments
OF cotton also showed a very graft
tying increase, being 1884 tons
as against IS, 1873 tons for the pre-
vious year.
These figures go to show that
the better farming campaigns and
the improved agricultural condi-
tons being urged upon the farm
ers have borne splendid fruits, and
those in charge OF the work and
who are cooperating with others
in similar work feel justified in the
belief that within the next few
years still greater benefits will
come to those who follow the
scientific methods in agriculture,
and who introduce the pure-bred
strains of live stock on their farms.
