LAW CURBS ACITATORS
Can Talk on Birth Control But Charts
and Clinics Are Prohibited.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 14.-Without
the police interference that has mark
ed meetings of birth control advocates
in other cities, Mrs. Robert Leggett of
Duluth today lectured here on birth
control before several hundred Mime
sofa women and girls.
Mrs. Margaret Sanger of New York
assisted in distributing literature on
birth control. The Minnesota law does
not prohibit the dissemination of in
formation on this subject. But a
clinic at which the subject was to
have been discussed more generally,
with maps, charts and wax figures,
was declared contrary to law. The
exhibit was abandoned.
Mrs. Liggett recently got her name
in the papers by advocating at Seattle
that women of the lower classes be
segregated as breeders, that no high
strung woman of the upper classes
should be subjected to motherhood
and that no child in the world is
worth the pain it takes to bring it into
existence.
Mrs. Sanger recently went free from
a federal indictment in New York
charging her with sending obscene
matter through the mails in her birth
control magazine, The Woman
Rebel" New York society men and
women, Miss Fola LafoIlette among
them, publicly supported what Mrs.
Sanger had done.

Those of US who are past middle age
are prone to eat too much meat and in

the slightest need of this, however, as

Petrograd, July 14.-"Until now
we Russians have been building upon
sand. At last we are commencing to
build on rock and our work will
stand"
1 have just had an interview with
that great friend of Russia, Nicholas
Tchaykovsky, member of the Central
Cooperative committee of Petrograd
and well known in the United States
where ten years ago he founded
American committees in New York,
Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia. Balti-

was bent over a pile of papers and

formed, they felt the need of a mar
ket. Private butter concerns existed
in sufficiently large number there and
their methods of doing business were
no cleaner as a rule than their butter
which was putrid.
They faxed up all sorts of filthy
substitutes and sold it as butter and
after time the peasants, who had
found markets difficult enough al
ready, saw what little there was so
glimmering because Siberian butter
had become synonymous with all that
was worthless and dangerous and bad.
So dire necessity forced the forma-
ton of the agricultural cooperative
society to market the honest butter
made by the peasants. The Russian
number of years the fight was bitter,
the bad-butter crowd doing all it could
to stifle competition
Butter Was legal TENDER
Nor was this all. Distances are great
in Siberia and means of transportation
few, so the cooperative societies were
practically dependent upon Siberian
dealers as a market These dealers
did not pay cash. They exchanged
merchandise for butter, paying what
ever price they pleased and charging
anything they wanted for their mer-
chandise.
Whereupon the third branch of the
The Consumers society.
Things in Siberia then began to
hum. The private butter dealers one
by one closed up shop. Cooperative
agents bought merchandise wholesale
in the great world markets and ship
ped it back to Siberia; they sold Siber-
ian butter at top prices, and the peas
ants themselves got the difference in
good, hard cash. the first they had
seen in long time.
This story can be duplicated in al
most any part of Russia. For instance
flax-growers used to get 2 Y rubles
per pood of thirty-six pounds They
the north formerly received rubles
per cack: agter a REPETITION of the ST.
berian experience, they are paid and
rubles for the same quantity.
Do Away With Community Farms.
Premier Stolypin in 1907 gave a
tremendous boost to cooperation
when he said the Mir, or community
farms ought to be abolished and that
the peasants were not obliged to stay
in the Mir. The cooperative societies
went skyrocketing after that and have
not stopped yet
Nor will they" Tchaykovsky said,
happily They respond to an urgent
need of the peasants. You Americans
are more individualistic, your means
OF communication are better. you have
more cities and your communities as
rule are m ne thickly populated than
ours. In Russia roads are bad win
tiers are long and hard and in most
districts along the six thousand miles
from Baltic to Pacific, with our width
of three thousand miles the popula-
ton is greatly spread out We must
nave cooperation otherwise the Siber-
ian story must of necessity be repeated
over and over again"

Washington, July IA federal
quarantine will be placed around New

Infantile paralysis poliomyelitis, as
the doctors call it-one of America s
newest and most terrible diseases, has
proved a battling study for the sur

Today there is no serum used in its

Disease New in America.
'Infantile paralysis is relatively a
new disease in the United States,
said DR.. Sweet to a caller at his office.
THE first epidemic of it was in 1907.
We suppose that it was brought here
from Europe, where 1t has been
endemic-that is, there are always
a few sporadic cases scattered over
the country. The peculiar feature OF
| the disease is that every once in a
while it assumes sudden virulence
and then we have an epidemic such
as now exists in New York. Previ-
Gus to the present epidemic, the last
notable outbreak was in 1912 at Buff
falo, the disease spreading westward
as far as the city of Erie, Pa.

the stable fly. DR.. Rosenau of Har-
ward was able to transmit poliomyelitis
from a sick to well monkey through
the bites of flies, and these expert
ments were confirmed by Drs. Ander-
son and Frost in our own laboratory
here. Dr. Flexner apparently found
that other domestic insects trans
mitted it by bites. Apparently then
the simple prevention was indicated
by getting rid of flies.
But subsequent experience has
caused our scientists to abandon the
theory of insect carriers in this dis
ease. DIR. Flexner has now discover
ed the germ causing the disease. 1t
is found in the secretions of the nose
and throat of affected persons and
also in their excretions.
How to Guard Against Disease.
consequently it is now assumed
that the disease is communicated di-
rectly from one person to another,
and the safeguard against it becomes
absolute sanitation and the isolation
| of all persons having the disease.
Public gatherings should be forbidden
wherever the epidemic is virulent. 1t
is of greatest Importance that all cases
| of the sickness be instantly reported
| to the authorities and rigid Quaran-
tines imposed.
| zone great danger in an epidemic
| is the fact that some individuals have
cases of infantile paralysis so mild in
| form that it is not recognized. These
persons act as carriers of the germs,
spreading them in the community.
1.-THE mortality ranges from five to
fifteen per cent of the cases. Medical
treatment is highly important to the
afflicted. There Is considerable pain
in the sickness, and good doctoring
can do much to alleviate this. The
physician, too, can do much to prevent
deformities resulting from the paraly-
sis. and by electrical treatment and
| hydrotherapy can do much to restore
the convalescent to the normal condi-
ton. The operating surgeons have
been able to do wonders in restoring
sound bodies to those crippled by in
fantile paralysis"

wonders for the peasants, consequent
ly for the empire as whole.
It seems that the first attempts at
cooperation began, as did the
Zemstvo institutions, about 1865,
shortly after serfdom was abolished
and half the land turned over to
the now free peasants. These attempts

empire, get them started, advise them
and help them keep going.
