s.ae~ New Treatment Urged. -s. =
DR.. S. J. Meltzer of the Rockefeller
institute received many inquiries to-
day regarding his treatment Of infan-
tile paralysis which was the only one
raised at the special conference of the
academy of science held last night. He
urged the treatment Of all cases by
intraspinal injections of solutions OF
adrenalin. ..r.
This procedure" said DIR. Meltzer,
may save life and in surviving cases
1t may reduce the extent Of the final
lesion. There is no danger involved"
The physician declared he had great
faith in this treatment because Of the
remarkable results it accomplished
with monkeys.

Republicans Confident.

The total number of ballots cast four
years ago was a tritie in excess of fif-
teen million and was 1874 of the coun-
try's population. The average percent
age to population represented by the
popular vote in presidential years since
1876 has been 1871. 1t Is evident that
the popular vote In 1912 was nearly
3 per cent or some two million five
hundred thousand below normal. Sure
'ly the revival Of interest In the duties
of citizenship will lead to fuller rep
resentation Of the people at the polls
in 1916 than in 1312-and this is like
ly to help the candidacy Of Hughes at
least as much as that of Wilson. All
things considered, 1t Is not wonderful
that confidence In the retirement of
Democrats and the restoration of Re
publicans to power Is noticeable in
every direction.

Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Roosevelt spent

close of the Capitalization. The time
was probably not equally divided. But
that does not matter. Mr.. Roosevelt
had good deal to say, and Is not cas-
lily headed when he sets Off on a mono
logue. Mr.. Hughes could afford to
listen. His vis-a-vis at table had come
pledging support; and to u candidate
for office support is always welcome.
Interviewed on Long island, Mr.. Taft
expressed pleasure ut the way things
are taking shape. declared his willing
ness to help. and predicted Mr.. Hughes

Roosevelt will strengthen the Repub-

Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft are in perfect
agreement. Each has expressed him

to elaborate his opinion as the cam

Republican Protection.

The discussion throughout the coun-
try during the last winter has centered
about candidates. and very little about
the platform. Both Republicans and
Progressives are practically united
with regard to the general political
principles for which they stand and
which they wish to see embodied In the
platform. These principles may be
briefly stated as follows:
(a) Protection Of American lives
and property ut home and abroad.
(b) Protection of American indus
tries against foreign cheap labor COM
petition.
(c) Protection Of American working
men. women and children against un-
just exploitation.
(d) Protection OF American natural
resources both against private monop-
oily and against being left to 60 to
waste.
(e) Protection of the national treas,
ury against deficit.

FOR HIGHER EDUCATION

Oregon, ILL.,, Nov. 27.-(By Union
Associated Press)-When Hon. Frank
o. Lowden, goes to the executive
mansion at Springfield, a few weeks
hence, Miss Florence, his eldest
daughter and granddaughter of the
late George Pullman, will take charge
of the kitchen. Governor-elect Low
den is as proud Of his daughters
skill as a cook as he is of the prospect
of becoming the chief executive of the
State. Miss Lowden learned how to
cook in a school at Middlebury, Conn.,,
from which she was graduated last
June and she has been experimenting
on the family since then. "Florence's
creamed potatoes are the best argu-
ments for higher education I ever
saw" says the .governor-to-be. At
school Miss Lowden also took prizes
in mathematics, arts and general eff
ficiency. Agriculture will claim her
next. When she completes her course
at the University Of Illinois her faith
er is going to let her take and run
a 12O-acre farm which he owns.
