TAKE ALL PRECAUTIONS
TO KEEP OUT PARALYSIS


nothing to fear. but there is no way
hy which this can bc prevented
The case which was reported to tn.
Health Department Yesterday lef
Philadelphia feeling perfectly we'll. and
when the FIRST symptoms OF the dis
ease appeared. on Wednesday morninr
the child had been here one day and
half.
The entire house has been quaran-
tined and the child and its mother
removed TO the contagious disease pa
vilion in the rear OF the City Home.
MEANS OF SPREAD NOT
THOROUGIiI.N UNDERSTOOD
Unfortunately. the means by which
infanti!c paralysis is spread are not
thoroughly understood. and, as have
stated In I. number of talks before
nurses and physicians since the cpl
demic appeared in New York city. We
can only ,iy 10 do everything which
may possibly he OF Importance.
1--WE have urged cleaning-up, be-
iievinG that this Will have some little
influence. but we we'll know that II
the entire city were spotlcss in every
respect this would not of itself pro-
tect us against this disease. If such
n cleaning-up would furnish complete
protection, no price within reason
would be too great to secure this re-
sult There seems to be a great deal
OF nisconccption on this single point,
and there also seems to he Il great
,risconccption as To the function OF
the Health Department. The people
onparently do not understand that the
Health Department has neither hands
nor carts nor in fact, any Of the means
Of doing the actual cleaning-up work.
For this reason citizens have been
urged to look out for their own prem
Uses. and the help OF other city de-
partments has been asked and freely
given in this connection.
Everything which will lessen the
prevalence OF flies and other insects
is believed to have some Importance,
though just how much no one can say.
MOTHERS URGED TO KEEP
CHILDREN FROM SICK PEOPLE
Mothers are especially urged not
10 allow their young children to BIO
brought in close contact with any other
children. They should be especially
careful not to allow their children to
visit homes In which there is illness
Of any kind.
GAS the one case Of infantile paraly-
sis Of the contagious type which we
know Of in Richmond was promptly
great hope that there will he no cases
developing from exposure 10 this case.

the city all children who may have

REALLY NO CRIMINAL FACE"
English investigator Points Out FalIa- ey of What Has Long Been
 Accepted.

Scarcely enough justice has been done to the admirable work of Dr. Charles Goring in his study of the English criminal, which has just been issued as a blue book. This is even less an important addition to our knowledge of the criminal than chal- lenge to the whole school of crimi- nologists. For the investigations of Dr. Goring shake the elaborate fabric built up by Lombroso and those who have followed in his footsteps.
 : Our inevitable conclusion" the re- port states. must be that there is no such thing as a physical criminal type" The head of the criminal diff fers in no marked degree from that of the university graduate, and special ized crime Is discovered to be not due to selection on the part of the crimi- nal. but to the opportunities which present themselves to binI The criminal who Is in favorable position for thieving, thieves; the man who has no opportunity for taking what Ia not his figures among the statistics nf criminal violence.

must have been stabbed standing. If so, the thrust came from the front" of the murderer's hand-a fencer's blow. And there was no doubt that Wade was fencer
 The putative defendant, although . lawyer himself. admitted all these facts except touching upon his rela- tions with Mrs. Hanska. He volun- teered the opinion that such a man de served killing. On the night of the murder. he said, they had quarreled again. Hanska had refused all pro- posals Thereupon he had taken that consignment of small possessions out of the bag. and had departed. On one point alone was he vague. He did not tell fully why he had started SO suddenly for Europe. 'I was afraid to stay" he said once. His attorneys intimated that he would explain this, also. If there were further proceed ings. On this point, Constance com mitted her only indiscretion. It was that very afternoon when the feminine sympathy writer" succeeded In reach. ing her. q know why he did that" Constance told her. and I'll tell you. if he won't. He could do me no fur ther good and he was afraid of what he might do 10 Captain Hanska. He said before he left for New York that If he failed I might not see him for a long time"
 And so the Coroner's jury found that John II. Hanska came to his death from a knife wound at the hand of Lawrence Wade or persons unknown, and recommended that the said Law renee Wade be held to await action Of the Grand Jury. He went back to the Tombs under guard.
 Here and now. the corporeal pres ence of Lawrence Wade shall fade for time from this story. You have. Of course. concluded by this time that he is innocent. Perhaps you are right; the unfolding of this tale will tell Leave him now in the Tombs. to play his own native resolution against the forces of darkness and to gather what consolation he may from the visits Of his Lady of Sorrows and of her little golden girl-comrade.

SUDAN GRASS FOR FEED
Oklahoma Writer Says Crop Has
 a Great Future.
1t Furnishes Abundant Roughage of Good Quality and Highly Nutritive Value Which Is Readily De-
 voured by Stock.

tBy w. J. GREEN. Oklahoma A. and NJ
 College. StillwateT)
 Judging from the results obtained from it during the past three years. sudan grass. the latest grain sorghum to be introduced into the United States, has great future before it. During the short time that it has been grown in this country this new forage crop has shown itself to be worthy of per manent place on the American farm.
 The successful farmer must grow his own feel for his live stock. as it is a losing proposition to buy it on the market. This is where sudan grass comes in. It furnishes abundant rough age Of good quality and high nutritive value which is readily eaten by almost all kinds of stock. The yield per acre is high and crop failure is almost un. known. These things, together with the fact that it is an excellent drought resister, will make sudan grass one of the most important forage crops of the future.
 Sudan grass produces an excellent quality of hay which has heer shown by analysis to have a high feed value. It compares fayorably with timothy hay, as far as composition and palata- bility are concerned. There is no waste in feeding sudan hay. for the stock will eat all of it. both leaves and stems. It makes according to satisfac- tory experiments an ideal feed to use in connection with alfalfa or clover.
 Sudan grass is a heavy yielder. The average amount of hay produced to the acre varies. of course. with the cl.- matic conditions and the kind of soil on which the crop is grown: it. how ever, ranges from one to four tons in one season. When sowed broadcast or with a drill. sudan grass grows to a height of three or four feet. When planted in rows. it often gets to be as high as seven or eight feet. It has a decided tendency to stool; sometimes as many as 200 stems will arise from one crown. These things account for the large yields that have been report ed. and big yields are one of the fac tors that will make sudan grass the forage crop of the future.
 As to climatic conditions, sudan grass will grow and mature as far north as the southern boundary of North Dakota. It, however, prefers a warm climate.
 As drought resis,er this new for age crop has been found to be better than any of the other grain sorghums. It can withstand mort dry weather than even feterita. the most drought resistant of the sorghums. This makes 1t a blessing to the semiarIG regiJaS and those parts of the country yi.ited by an occasional dry spell. for ii in sures winter supply of hay or silcse. Although a drought resis:er, sudan grass is not damaged by wet weather. During the season of 1915, which in some sections was the wettest in years, great crops of this so-called grass were reported. It seems from this that. although 1t can get along f with little rainfall, too much rain will i only serve to make the crop better. Sudan grass has been with us long enough to have passed the experiment tai stage. and in the light of what is known about it it seems that it is here to stay.
