PREVENTION or INFANTILE PARALYSIS

directly bring about the development of disease. Therefore eliminate in- sects. Street and house dust bear 8 definite relation to the spread of many infections and it is not unreasonable to presume that they may be factor in the dissemination of infantile pa ralysis. Maintain strict cleanliness of streets, yards and alleys in order to prevent the breeding of insects and other vermin.
 See that all garbage and waste are properly cared for and collected at regular and frequent intervals. Guard all food supplies, especially milk and other perishable products. Digestive troubles of children arising from the ingestion of food of questionable quail ity may lower resistance. Assemblies of children in infected localities are to be discouraged, if not actually for bidden. While the above measures are in sense general, and applicable to many epidemic diseases, their import ance should not be overlooked.
 Preventive Measures.
 Individual preventive measures may be thus summarized:
 Summon a physician at once and inn mediately notify the health officer of the presence of the disease. If the disease is present in the community, medical aid should be sought whenever child is sick no matter how light the illness; many cases of infantile par alysis begin with a slight indisposi- on. Should the illness prove to be infantile paralysis isolate the patient, place a competent person in charge, and reduce all communication with the sick room to a minimum. Hospital care is preferable, not only for the child but in order to better safeguard against the spread of the disease. The sick room should be well ventilated and screened. Nasal and mouth secre- tions should be received in cloths, placed in a paper bag, and burned. The clothing of the child, the bed linen, and the excretions should be disinfect- ed in the same manner as for typhoid fever, that is by boiling, the long con- tinued application of five per cent car bolic, or other we'll recognized disin- fectant. The same is true for dishes and drinking vessels. Nurses should exercise the same precautions as re- gards cleanliness of hands in caring for infantile paralysis patients as for those afflicted with other infectious diseases.

NOTHING CAN HEAD THE
 SOUTH.

The South has sufferei exceptlonal- ly severe from storms and floods this year. The annual overflow came on schedule in the spring, then severe storms in the Gulf states, and finally devastating floods in the east-South- ern tier of states.
 In spite of it all, however, the South is "getting from under" handsomely, and is the only part of the country whose crops are equal if not superior to those of last year. In spite of the harassing attacks of the clements, the South should be able to get better hold on prosperity this year.
 Complaint in the South has been that it hasn't been getting its share of the prosperity sweeping the remainder of the country; but there is scarcely a doubt that it has splendid chance to fall in line this year.
 Insofar as Southeast Arkansas is concerned, and especially Jefferson county and Pine Bluff, conditions and indications could hardly be better. Workmen in all lines of industry in the city are busy, and there is work in the factories and on the farms for all who really desire to labor. Crop prospects are unusually promising.
 The enterprising never had better opportunity than is offered in this sec tion right now.
 There is good reason to believe that oil in paying quantity will be found ir Jefferson county. And if this comes to pass, Pine Bluff will thrive as nevel before in it's history. That will De some thriving, because Pine Bluff has ever been a town of we:lth. due to It location in probably the richest agrl cultural section in the country.

Fl Paso, Tex, is very "wet," but the remainder of the boundary between the United States and Mexico is "dry." This holds true practically from the Gulf of Mexico to Lower California. This condition has probably done much to avert rash acts that might have ln- creased the intensity of the recent crisis.

Of heaven. so much about having your
