INFANTILE PARALYSIS
An Expert Tells Mothers How to Avoid
and Prevent This Seourge.

An Expert Tells Mothers How to Avoid
and Prevent This Seourse.
The following statement was issued
recently by DIR. Charles +. Bolduan, d.
rector OF the bureau of public health
education of New York city:
"Infantile paralysis is caused by q
very small germ, perhaps the smallest
germ known, entering the brain and
spinal cord Of little children. The
germ probably gets In through the nose
or mouth. II Is important to keep
your children away from those who
have the disease and also away from
the other members Of the family I'm
which the case has developed.
'"The reason for this is that the germ
Is In the nose and throat Of the patient
and frequently is carried there by 9th
ers In the household.
"Read the list Of addresses where the
disease has occurred and which are
published in the newspapers. and keep
away from the infected houses.
every mother should keep her chill
dren about her much as hen looks
after her little chicks. IL Is dangerous
to let children attend parties and festi-
walls and to take them into crowds
where they may sit alongside OF some
person who has the germs In his or her
nose.
'slnce the germs are so very small
and may be present ON the hands or
the face or soiled handkerchief. even
when there Is no visible dirt, the ut
most cleanliness Is necessary. See that
the hands and the faces OF your chill
dren are kept absolutely clean Soap
and water, after all. are the greatest
foes OF all disease.
Clean up your house. Throw away
all useless rubbish. Take down the
curtains and wash them. Wipe all the
woodwork with damp cloth"

DANGER SIGNAL

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with a cough. A cough is a dan
ger signal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop a fire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease that caus-
es the coughing. This can nearly al
ways be done by taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Many have used it
with the most beneficial results. 1t
is especially valuable for the persist
ent cough that so often follows a bad
cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs.
Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind,

band takes cold easily and coughs

Hedge Selling Small, With Liverpool
More Active

NEW YORK. March 6.-Trading was
comparatively quiet on the cotton eX-
change this morning. Hedge selling con-
tnued small and there was no pressure
from any source. although spot houses
and Wall Street interests supplied linn
tied amounts Covering from scattered
sources was sufficient to hold the market
steady, and initial prices showed advances
of to points Liverpool was buyer
of the late months. After the call fur
ther advances of to points were
scored
Liverpool was to 4 points lower than
due. showing advances of to points
at the time of the start here. The
market was slightly more active than
recently, with the tone steady.
The market was very quiet later in the
morning. The appearance of scattered
Southern selling here on the early ad.
vance seemed to check the local buying
movement and prices sagged off to within

evidently little confidence in any per.

During those periods, when stocks were
selling far. above what they are now, the

The fact that large margins are being
asked has been very helpful to the market,
however, and has been a very sustaining
factor. The higher margins have followed
the action of the banks in not lending
as much money on stocks as they would
ordinarily do. and, therefore, the broker
has had to raise the margin to his GUS
toners.
II Is recalled that during the boom days
of years gone by, when the margins were
smaller, many stop-loss orders were un-
covered when the market started to go
down and this had the tendency of send.
ing it off still further. whereas now, when
margins are twice as large, the stop.loss
