The epidemic of infantile paralysis
threatens other sections of the coun-
try as it is raging in New York. The
disease, which is polio-myelitis, has
been described by the Georgia State
Board of Health. The article is writ
ten by DR.. Emory r. Park, and should
be interesting to the people of Amer
icus:
"Polio-myelitis is a disease princ.-
pally occurring in children or from
one to five years of age-hence the
synonym, infantile paralysis. The
cause of the disease is probably "a
m;crossopical germ. The disease oc-
ours as isolated cases or sometimes az
a widespread epidemic. There seems
to have been an increase in the prevail.
CAlNC VI Tic ulSCdSS Jul III u bnS last lie w
years 1t is estimated that from 1907
to 1910 there were at least 10000 cas-
es in the United States. 1t is an es-
tablished fact that it is a contagious
disease, the contagion being trans
ritted by direct contact, by third
person, by cats and dogs, and possibly
BY flies and other insects. The incuba-
tion period-that is, the time elapsing
between the time of exposure and time
of development of symptoms-iis prob
ably from one to fourteen days.
while adults may be attacked the
greatest incidence is among very
young children, so the course of the
disease will be described from that
standpoint.

Symptoms.

"The attack usually comes on sud
denly. A child which has been prev
icusly we'll and healthy suddenly is
taken with fever, complains of head
ache. aching in the limbs and back,
becomes dull and somnolent or rest
less and delirous. There may also be
vomiting and diarrhoea, twitching of
muscles or commissions. Occasionally
there is stiffness of the muscles or
commissions. Occasionally there is
stiffness of the muscles in the neck
and limbs, and frequently there is pain
and tenderness in the back and lower
extremities. The duration and intens-
ity of these symptoms are variable,
lasting from one to two days to as long
as week or more. After the above
symptoms have subsidized the parents
notice that the child is more or less
extensively paralyzed. The muscles CT
the trunk are sometimes involved, but
usually the paralysis of the extremit-
les is more noticeable. Either one or
both legs, both legs and an arm, both
arms, or all the extremities may be
Taralyzed. The child is unable to
move the one affected, and the part
feels cold and clamy, looks somewhat
blue, and in time, unless recovery
takes place, becomes much smaller
and shorter than the extremities not
involved. The refexes in the diseased
limbs are lost but sensibility is re.
tanned After time, unless the dis
ease has proved fatal during the acute
stage, the child's general condition i'm
proves and sometimes the paralysis
lentirely disappears, and the child is
again restored to perfect health I'm
fortunately, however, not infrequently
the paralysis persists to the same de.
gree as in the beginning, or only par
tally clears up. Various deformities
may take place as a result of the con-
traction of the healthy muscles be-
| ing unopposed by the paralyzed mus
cles. In this way curvature of tho
spine, club feet and the like are
brought about.
The above symptoms and changes
occur as result of the poisons thrown
off by the germs causing the disease
first attacking the entire body and later
becoming localized in part of the gray
matted of the spinal cord The extent
Of the paralysis which results depends
on the extent of the destruction Of
this gray matter; and the parts par
alyed depends on the level of the
cord attacked.
! Prevention.
las the disease is contagious, its
spread is to be guarded against in the
same manner as in the case of other
contagious diseases such as scarlet
fever, measles, diptheria, and so on.

[ and Kemp. He wished them to accom- pany him to the aviation camp without delay.
 By tacit agreement they decided not to tell him of Najla's uncanny expert ence. The strong force of detectives guarding the house might be safely trusted to prevent any dramatic devel- opments, and both Margaret and May promised not to let Najla out of their sight.
 Now, at this period Hong Kong Harry had, so to speak, foot in both camps. As a. subterfuge it was ar- ranged that he should make a dramatic escape from the police while under the observation of a couple of Asiatics sus- pected of being Ali Singh's spies. He was thus enabled to make good story of forcible detention, and his protesta- tions of zeal in the service of the Higher One earned him, at any rate, a respite from the sentence of death still hanging over his head.
 By this means he contrived to be a very useful ally of the police, and the men on duty at Manning's house were not surprised when the half caste made furtive appearance early that same afternoon. None imagined that he was using his partial liberty to indulge in his favorite drug.
 The object of his present visit, too, was so important that it completely disarmed even Margaret Bronson and May Manning.
 Ali Singh has been taunted for his failures by the Council of Ten," he de- clared excitedly, "so he has sworn that he himself will steal not only the being tested by the war department,

Unfortunately the official knew that Hong Kong Harry was a valued aid in the hunt for Ali Singh, so he did not lock the halfcaste up, but was content to inf1ict a merciless beating, after which he was allowed to slink away.
 You needn't worry any more, la dies," said the representative of the law, meaning to console the fright ened girls. i've given that pup some thing to remember. Next time he sees you he'll cringe like the cur he is."
 That was all very well. The man ought to have realized that even a cringing cur can infict a dangerous bite.
 Maddened by the beating he had re- ceived, with every vile impulse stirred into frenzy by the drugs in his sys- tenn, Hong Kong Harry slunk away un- til he reached a garage. There he hired car and had not gone a couple of blocks before he seized the surprised driver and threw him bodily into the street.
 Thenceforth he had the car to him. self and set off at rare rate in the direction of the aviation camp.

but will actually get away with the machine itself. He is on the job now, so I came here as quickly as possible to let MT. Manning know"
 Now, this story fitted in aptly with the Washington telegram. Margaret and the detective went to the tele- phone, which was located in the hall, meaning to ring up every possible cen ter where they might get in touch with Manning himself or with the military authorities. Thus, by accident as it were, the half caste and May Manning were left alone in the sitting room. The man eyed her furtively. "Where's Najla?" he said, after an awkward pause.
 "She's lying down." explained May civilly.
 "She's beautiful, isn't she?" he said I thickly.
 "Oh, yes; I've never seen any eastern girl who approached her in looks.'
 But you, too, are lovely, though in g different way" he went on. May blushed and Uttered. The last thing she expected to hear from Hong Kong Harry's lips was fulsome com pliment of that sort Suddenly she be came aware that the man was staring at her in a fixed though stealthy man ner that was most objectionable. Sht was so surprised at first that she dit not utter a word. Then, to her yer, great alarm, she found that her voic, had failed her.
 The spell broke when his clawlik' hands encircled her waist and neck.
 Mays startled screams alarmed tn, household. Margaret and the detectiv, were the first to appear, followed i'm mediately by Najla and a couple of DO licemen. Even then the halfcaste con tinued his attack until the detective strong hands on his throat compelled him to desist.

government if the machine were broken up, provided Ali Singh went to pieces with it."
 The major stroked his chin thought fully.
 q think I get you," he said. '1The loss of one machine won't cripple the department at all. In fact, this particu- lar plane is purely experimental, and one or two small defects have already been detected which must be put right when the new models are built. Just wait minute, will you?" He dispatched an orderly with mes sage, and smart young officer of the flying corps was brought in.
 What was it you were saying the other day about the cratic control of the stabilizer above 2,OOO feet, Lieu. tenant Graham" inquired the major.
 The lieutenant darted a surprised look at his chief and highly suspi cious one at Manning and Bronson even though the strangers were vouch ed for by the presence in uniform o1 the chief of the aviation grounds ant Police Captain Kemp.
 "Oh, it's all right" smiled his su perior. 'These gentlemen represen Washington and are here to warn us that determined attempt will b' made today to steal our plane"
 "Will be made within the hour," cor rected Manning gravely.
 The lieutenant was evidently skep tical, but contrived to conceal his feel ings, his real concern being that th' machines secret devices and defects should be discussed so openly.
 ''That being so," he said quietly, "I'n sorry for any one who goes above 2,0O' feet without knowing exactly how t regulate the gyroscope, which is sup posed to insure perfect stability in. an, conditions of wind, weather or speed.

SNOQPSIS.


 Mfr. Thomas H. Clark, United States consul at the Chinese treaty port of Kan koi, worried over the activities of Al Singh, who has succeeded in banding to- gether the antagonistic races of the faI east, writes to Errol Manning, confidential state department agent at Washington Ali Singh's niece, Mime. Najla, is being educated at Vassar college. A riot breaks out, which is quelled by Ali Singh, who seems to bear a charmed life. All Singh sails for the United States. Manning takes steps to prevent his entry. It is re- ported that Ali Singh is drowned. It later develops that this was 8 ruse, that Ali Singh is in the United States. He threat ems the life of Banker Bronson's daughter, Margaret, who is a chum of Mime. NaJla. May Manning and Margaret Bronson are walking in the garden when they are rendered unconscious. Margaret Bronson Is taken to a Chinese joint in New York, where she is held as hostage until her father withdraws his support of Senator Johnston's anti-alien bill Manning and young Bronson rescue the girl. Senator Johnston is found dead in the library. Najla saves her old friends from similar fate. She explains that Senator John ston's death was brought about by a poisonous insect. Hong Kong Harry makes violent love to Najla. She is res- cued from his clutches by Captain Kemp. Bronson's automobile Is wrecked in chase after Ali Singh, who again escapes. Sem ator Stevens, an advocate of the anti-alien law. is assassinated. Margaret Bronson, Najla and May Manning are decoyed in an auto and Kidnapped. Banker Bronson is assassinated. Najla Is put on the torture rack. She is saved by Hong Kong Harry, who shuts off the electric current. May Manning escapes, but Margaret and Najla are still held prisoners. In order to get the formula for a high explosive Ali Singh kidnaps Maxwell Judson, an inventor. Najla saves Hong Kong Harry from death. A policeman finds Margaret Bron- son, half demented, on the street. Ali Singh and his minions steal an airship. Natla saves the life of Hong Kong Harry. From the airship Ali Singh wrathfully views military tournament in New York. May Manning and Margaret Bronson are again kidnapped. Manning decides to give himself up to Ali Singh to save the girls. Hong Kong Harry, temporarily deserting All Singh. tells Captain Kemp how to out wit Ali Singh. Manning gives himself up. At a signal the police rush in. There Is a furious battle. Manning and the girls are rescued, but Ali Singh, who seems to bear 8 charmed life, again escapes.

things which prove trifie too hard to swallow. This is one"
 Nevertheless, major, you had bet ter chew on the notion," said Manning pleasantly, knowing full well how diff ficult it is to persuade men long ac- customed to running in departmental grooves that civilian intelligence may occasionally find loophole in the text books. "Knowing Ali Singh as do, I can assure you most earnestly that the attempt will be made. Moreover, il will very nearly succeed. His prof ects never underrate the difficulties ahead. Take it from me that he is thoroughly well informed as to the nature and extent of your safeguards. No-let me finish, please"- because the major was evidently inclined to argue, q admit that your men will shoot any suspicious strangers at sight, but that is exactly what we do not wish done on this occasion"
 'Let me remind you again of Wash ington's definite instructions that no arrests are to be made. And what more effectual way of arresting a man than shooting him?"
 q don't quite see what you are driv- ing at," said the soldier testify. "My orders are explicit enough. The ma chine must be protected at all cost. My record would be clear if I shot a secretary of state who tried to enter the hangar without permission"
 Better do that than embroil Wash ington with some foreign power" laughed Manning. "We want neither a court martial nor a judicial inquiry. This scoundrel, Ali Singh, and his as- sociates must be got rid of quietly Now, it would be a fine bargain for our

In that disordered brain there was room for only one motive at time. His dominating thought at the mo- ment was to avenge himself on the white race from which he was so hope lessly shut out. The detective made Ia terrible mistake in letting him go free. Even May Manning, could she have known the outcome of that most displeasing tribute to her good looks, would have endured the man little longer, for it was now literally mat ter of seconds whether Ali Singh's earthly career should end beyond all doubt or that the Yellow Menace should be spared to work further mis- chief.
