Curers of Infantile Paralysis.

If the physicians, Investigators and adj
ministrators of the Rockefeller Institute,
the Public Health Service and our local
Board of Health fail in their efforts to
check the present outbreak of poliomyelitis
it will not be for want of advice and sug-
gestions from many quarters. 1t is, how
ever, not sufficiently realized by the benev-
oent people who are trying to help the
doctors in this much advertised emergency
how many and perplexing are the recon-
mendations that have been pouring in
from all sides and in all directions since
the disease became epidemic and began
to take its place beside the Allied often
sive on the front page of the morning and
evening papers For if due allowance
were made for the widespread desire to
do something there would be less impa-
tience among those who by pure force Of
genius have discovered the true means
of dealing with the plague and imagine
that the medical profession is in con-
spiracy against them, and incidentally
against the children of New York.
1t is true that Or. Flexner, who is sup
posed to be as learned as any in this mat.
ter, has frankly declared that "there ex-
lists at present no safe method Of pre-
ventive incubation or vaccination and no
practicable method of specific treatment" "
This modest confession is of course exas-
perating to every one who is itching to try
his own favorite cure, but those who think
that nothing but obstinacy and prejudice
are at the bottom of it should remember
that he speaks only of the present. Their
turn may come; but there are many of
them, and it is a practical impossibility
to attend to them all at once.
Take. for instance, DR.. Pease and Mr..
Alfred McCann. They both think the
Rockefeller Institute is neglecting an OBJ
vious opportunity, but they have COM
pletely different conception of the oppor-
tunity offered DR.. Pease naturally
thinks of tobacco as the source of this evil,
as of all others; and, knowing that the
children who MAKE up the majority Of
victims are not themselves addicted to
smoking, advises DR.. Flexner to invest5
gate the relation between parental nco-
tinism and the poiomyelitic diathesis. Mr..
McCann, on the other hand, has heard of
an iodine compound that works wonders in
erysipelas, cellulitis, diphtheria, scarlet
fever and post-puerperal infections, and
he does not see why it should not do very
well in the treatment of infantile paral-
ysis. Hundreds of victims of infantile
paralysis are dying anyhow" he says, and
he is satisfied that the remedy ought to
be tried 1T cannot make the disease
worse" he argues cheerfully. He is the
more anxious about the matter because he
is afraid some doctors still believe in
serumtherapy, though he himself has ex-
ploded it in a very few paragraphs.
There is one consoling thought for him.
He has laid his views, with dietetic sug-
gestions," before Or Emerson and num-
ber Of eminent physicians, and if they
refuse to accept his suggestions it is not
his fault. He has done his best, and he is
more fortunate tnan some of his fellow
benefactors who have no assurance that
their warnings and recommendations ever

GERMANS TAKE A
HILL At VERDUN
Circling Moves
Are Now Tactics
OF TeutOns

The attack on Verdun today shifted
to the west, and the Germans are now
engaged in pounding their way toward
the fortress from beyond the Meuse,
advancing along the railroad parallel
ing the west bank last night. The Teu-
tons took Forges by assault, and are
now within nine miles of Verdun on
the northeast, though they have been
prevented from debouching against the
Cote de Ole heights about mile dis
tant.
Paris advices this afternoon admit
the Germans have forced their way
through FORCES and along the railroad
in the Regneville vicinity. While ex-
ecuting this advance the Teutons ST.
nlultaneously stormed and occupied
Hill No. 265, after sustaining heavy
losses.
The new Teutonic drive, apparently
is in the nature of clearing operations,
probably indirectly aimed at the ulti-
mate possession of the heights in this
region. German artillery has been
pounding these heights continually
during several days, and the line now
curves sharply northward from point
in the bend Of the Meuse already re-
ported cleared off.

SUNDAY CLOSING

The Missionary societies Of the Meth
dist and Presbyterian churches passed
the following resolutions at their meet
ing Monday:
Whereas, Since our last meeting
che of the drug stores of our city has
closed its doors on Sunday, thereby
putting itself on record as favoring the
proper observance of the Sabbath, and
having a desire to contribute by ex-
ample as well as precept to the moral
good of the city; therefore be it.
Resolved first, That we deeply ap-
preciate this action on the part OF
these druggists who have voluntarily
closed their doors to all Sunday trade,
except such as is necessary to the
needs of the sick. We feel that last
ing uplift has been given to the moral
tone of our city by the closing of these
doors on Sunday.
Resolved second, That we extend to
the proprietors of the drug stores clos
ed on Sunday in our city our sincere
thanks for an example which seeks to
place the moral and religious welfare
of our community above dollars and
cents, and prohibits lounging place
which constantly tempts them to an
improper use of the hours of day
long ago proclaimed as holy by voice
from heaven.
Resolved third, That we pledge not
Only our moral, but our material sup
pert in this effort to bring about the
right observance of the Sabbath day i'll

VERMONT VOTING ON
PROHIBITION NOW

RUTLAND, VT. March Vermont
is voting today on statewide prohibi-
ton, the ballots being cast at the an
.nual town meetings throughout the
state. At noon it appears the prohi-
bitionists will win victory, but the
vote will be close, and it is impossible
tc definitely forecast the result.
Vermont adopted local option law
more than thirteen years ago, through
legislative enactment, and through it
operation considerable portion of the
state is already dry" territory. A
hundred years ago Vermont had stren-
ucus prohibition laws, but there came a
reaction which permitted the estab-
lishment of barrooms
Today's election, it is forecast, will
bring out one of the largest votes in
recent history of Vermont, as both
" cts" and "drys" are using every eff
fort to muster their full strength at the

PARIS, March 1.-THE French war
office early today announced division
of German infantry stormed and cap
tUred Hill No. 265. 1t is semi-off1cially
announced, also, that the Germans
have made further advance in the
Eerdun region, west of the river Meuse
The advance, it is stated, was accom-
plished by means of violent lombard
ment with big guns, ouutra2ging those
possessed by the defenders. The Ger
man advance has pushed along the
railroad in the neighborhood of Reg
neville, which seems to indicate an en-
circling movement as the latest effort
10 reduce Verdun, and force a French
retreat.

PEKING, March 7-State Councillor
Chang Cheng-hsun has been design
ated by the Chinese government to
proceed to Hongkong and Singapore
for the purpose of enlightening the
prominent Chinese in those places
concerning the present crisis, and to
discount any assistance they might be
prompted to give the Yunnan revolu-

fairs in Washington cannot help feel
ing proud of the influence for good

G. r. Crisp of the Third Georgia dis
trict is exercising among the national

he has been made member constitute
d tribute to his ability which few

cent victory in securing a favorable

WASHINGTON, d. c., March =
Confidential state department advices,
the accuracy of which cannot be doubt
ed, say the cost of living in Constan-
tinople has increased 1856 per cent.
since Turkey entered the European
war. The blockade maintained by the
British fleet, the prohibition of trade
with Russia and the number off able
,odied men in the army have all con-
ributed to boosting the cost of moin-
aiming life among the Turks.
