call attention of visitors to the GENE
terry to the fact that there is city or.
dinance which forbids anyone pulling
or cutting flowers therein. Visitors
have been cutting flowers from the
large beds near the entrance and else
where and using them at the graves
instead of carrying their flowers from
their homes. This is in plain violation
of city ordinance and subjects the
parties to punishment for every Of
tense. Another practice which mars
the beauty of the cemetery is very
common practice of throwing the dead
flowers from vases into adjoining lots
and other places, just to get them off
their own lots. ''Do unto others"
should be remembered, and certainly
you would not want their waste
thrown into your lot. Carry this waste
outside the cemetery or put it in the
driveway and the keeper will carry
it out.

Prevention of Infantile Pa.
ralysis.

To control the present epidemic of
infantile paralysis, according to state
ment issued by the United States Pub
lie Health Service today, the chain of
infection between persons harboring
germs of the disease and the well
members of the community should be
broken. Infsntile paralysis is proba-
bly, caused by very minute organism
found in the nasal, mouth and bowel
discharges of those who have the dis.
ease or who are carriers of the germ
without themselves suffering from the
ailment, All of the steps in the spread
of the infection are not known, but If
this germ can be prevented from pass
ing from the infected to the we'll per-
son, the disease will cease.
Infsntile paralysis is not a disease of
recent origin. Sporadic or scattered
cases have occurred thruout the country
for many years but it is only during
the last decade that the infection has
assumed epidemic proportions in the
United States. The present epidemic
in New York City, on account of its
magnitude and virulence, has awakened
the residents OF. many communities to
the danger of the importation of the
disease into their own midst. This dan
ger is real, but If due precautions are
exercised il 10 believed that the cpl
demic will subside.
The actual control Of the present cpl
demic must be left to the city, State
and Federal health authorities. These
organizations will properly quarantine
and care for affected persons, prescribe
sanitary measures and limit as may be
necessary the ltravel Of individuals in
order to protect neighboring districts
from the infection. individuals and
communities, however, can do much
toward their own protection.
Poliomyelitis 10 probably spread d.
rectly or indirectly, thru the medium
of infective secretions. Account must
therefore be taken by communities Of
every means by which such sccretions
are disseminated. Promiscuous expec-
toration should be controlled. The
common drinking cup affords method
for the Interchange Of material Of
this nature and should therefore be abol-
ished. Rigid cleanliness of glasses and
utensils at soda fountains, in saloons and
other public places should be enforced.
Flies, reaches and other vermin, by
coming in contact with infective secre-
tons. may possibly convey them to our
food and thus directly bring about the
development Of disease. Therefore
eliminate insects. Street and house
dust bear definite relation to the
spread of many infections and il is not
unreasonable topresume that they may
be a factor in the dissemination Of in
fsntile paralysis. Maintain strict clean
illness of streets, yards and alleys in
order to prevent the breeding of insects
and other yermin.
See that all garbage and waste are
properly cared for and collected at reg
ulsr and frequent intervals. Guard all
food supplies, especially milk and other
perishsble products. Digestive troubles
Of children arising from the indigestion
Of food of questionable quality may

now come to consider whether the
systep of correction alone has not
gone far enough in the public interest
and whether the time has not come
for the proper element of helpfulness
! to be introduced into the system?
THE railroads accept the view that
regulation Is a permanent and endur-
ing part of government in America
and that the first duty OF the carriers
is to the public. That duty is to af-
ford reasonable facilities, on reason
able terms and at reasonable rates.
and this must be done before any
, private interests can be considered.
They ask that all their proposals be
meaured by the standard OF public
interest, and appreciate that II any
proposal fails to come up to this
standard, it must be discarded"
The public's chief interest Is in sat-
isfactory transportation rather than
in rates, he said.
Cost Secondary Consideration.
THAT the cost is a secondary con-
sderation was illustrated last sum-
mer. When the country was menaced
by the prospect of an entire suspen-
sion of traffic. business men would
have paid almost anything to get their
goods to market The present car
shortage illustrates the same thing
The present systems of regulation are
entirely adequate to protect the pub
lie against exorbitant rates. but are
not adequate TO insure to the public
sufficient facilities for its present and
future requirements. There can be
no reasonable contention that an ade-
quate supply OF transportation facili-
ties is now assured the public, either
for its present or future needs.
The high cost of living is daily
advancing owing TO shortage of
supplies which might be remedied by
securing access 10 new areas of pro-
duction. Why conclude that the
wheat crop Is not adequate when all
the country IS not reached? why not
lower the cost of manufacturing I'M
plements by going closer to the source
of raw material? Are there no wheat
fields yet uncut. no mines yet un-
opened. no forests yet uncut? Yet
we have stopped opening the railways
into new country"
Railroads Disseminated Against.
We have been able to apply only
to the East and to Europe for funds"
he said. But Europe Is now a bor-
rover instead of lender and she will
so continue after the war. Thus we
are left with only the small financial
section known as the East. And in
Boston we find bankers advising their
clients not to go into railroad securi-
ties"
Mr. Thorn pointed out that the
power Of labor to dictate wages is
another element of uncertainty in
railroad credit He contended that a
safe and reasonable margin of financ-
ing railroads called for a six per cent
dividend with a three per sent sur
plus.
