Estimate of the Cost.

DR. W. c. Rucker, who has been In
active charge of the fight against the
epidemic, believes it will cost about
$40, 900 month for the work Of the
service alone. bill already has been

A statement sanctioned by Secretary

while the epidemic of infantile pa
ralysis has been most acute thus far in

relation to the spread of many infections,
and it is not unreasonable to presume
that they may be factor in the dis
semination of infantile paralysis. Main
tain strict cleanliness of streets. yards
and alleys in order to prevent the breed
ing of insects and other vermin See
that all garbage and waste are properly
cared for and collected at regular and
frequent intervals.
Guard all food supplies, especially
milk and other perishable products. Di-
gestive troubles of children arising from
the ingestion of food of questionable
quality may lower resistance. Assem-
bles of children in infected localities are
to be discouraged. If not actually for
bidden. While the above measures are
in a sense general. and applicable to
many epidemic diseases, their Importance
should not be overlooked
Individual Preventive Measures.
Individual preventive measures are
thus summarized:
Summon a physician at once and i'm
mediately notify the health officer of
the presence of the disease. If the dis
ease is present in the community med
icaI aid should be sought whenever a
child is sick, no matter how light the
illness: many cases of infantile paral-
ySis begin with slight 1ndlSpos1tlon.
Should the illness prove to be infan-
tile paralysis isolate the patient, place
competent person in charge and re-
duce all communication with the sick
room to a minimum
Hospital care is preferable, not only
for the child, but in order to better
safeguard against the spread of the
disease. The sick room should be well
ventilated and screened. Nasal and
mouth secretions should be received
in cloths, placed in paper bag and
burned. The clothing of the child, the
bed linen and the excretions should be
disinfected In the same manner as for
typhoid fever-that is, oy boiling, the
ong-continued application of per cent
carbolic, or other well recognized dis
infectant The same is true for dishes
and drinking vessels.
Nurses should exercise the same pre-
cautions as regards cleanliness of
hands in caring for infantile paralysis
patients as for those afflicted with
other infectious diseases.
"A child may convey the disease to
others even after a lapse of several
weeks. For this reason quarantine
should be maintained for a consider
able period. usually from six to eight
weeks and the above precautions
should be adhered to during this time.
Disinfection of the room following re-
covery Is advisable"

Much Rubber and Nickel

Subject of British Query

Inasmuch as rubber and nickel are

under private agreements by the pur-
chasers that they shall not reach the
central powers. British authorities are
beginning to investigate how the large
of those materials piled up at
the Deutschland's pier got into the
hands of German agents
The United States government is no
party to- such agreements, but off,
cials point out that the steel mills
which supply materials for guns and
armor for the army and navy may be
affected by the outcome.
Practically all the nickel now being
used here comes from Canada, and
practically all the rubber comes by way
Of London in British ships.
Agreements Affect U. S. Supply.
While the agreements referred TO are
not official, inasmuch as the State
Department is no party TO them. the
United States government would. of
course. suffer from their cancellation
because the great steel mills which
supply the government with raw ma
terial for its guns and armor would
be unable TO secure any further sup
