Infantile Paralysis

lnfantlle paralysis seems to he
quite prevalent over the country.
The following article on the d.
sease may be of value to those
who have small children.
From everything that has been
learned up to date of infantile
paralysis, the disease is caused
by germ which finds Judgment
in the mucus membrane of the
nose and throat, and of the stom-
ach and inte stine. Here the
germ multiplies rapidly and
forms its poison; these poisons
are taken up by the blood and
carried to all parts of the body
The effect of these poisons upon
nearly all parts of the body are
no different from that of most
other germ poisons, except that
these poisons are particularly
injurious to the nerve cells in
the spinal cord, which govern
the muscles of the limbs-par-
ticularly the lower linn BIS. In an
attack of the disease the partial
or complete destruction of these
nerve cells takes place in few
hours, but the full effects are
not apparent for several months.
lnasmuch as the germ of in
fantile paralysis seems to be dis.
seminated by flies, systematic
determination of these pests is
important in the prevention of
the disease. However, keeping
the child IN high state of re-
sistance, in the best of health, is
of even greater Importance.
Germs attack only those whose
disease-resIsting powers are low;
germs find portal of entry in a
weak spot in the body. In the
case of infantile paralysis, the
weak spots" are the nose and
throat, and the stomach and in
testlne. If we are to avoid this
dread disease we must keep the
child's air passages in healthy
condition and keep the stomach
and DO wells in good shape. 1t is
significant that this disease at,
tacks children at the age when
they are weaned and taken to
the table and fed nything and
everything. Avoiding old-,
sore threats, aud catarrh in
children by proper feeding and
plenty of fresh air, and keeping
the stomach and bowels 10 good
condition through careful feed
ing will go a long way toward
eliminating infantile paralysis.

She sits alone like a soul apart
And the world grows bright to her poor
tired eyes,
For it gives it's best to a starving heart
Which lives at night and at dawning
dies;
The sweethearts troth and the long en-
brace;
And men who die that a love may live;
The trickster mean, with scar cut face,
And the ugly thrusts that his knife can
give;
The plots and plans of ancient land
Where the Nile crawls on by the tombs
of queens,
And white limbed slaves win a mon

By fair or foul--or other-means;
All pass her eyes, and for the night
She knows the love that a queen would
know

Ashley and Frances Nelson, is booked
while on Friday and Saturday, anton

THE QUEST OF LIFE
Maurice and Florence Walton have
probably done more to bring the dance to
its present nigh state of perfection and
to spread its popularity than any other
two people in the world. 1t was Maurice
who introduced the Argentine tango to
Europe and America after he had studied
1t in South America. The celebrated
Apache dance, which is performed in
THE Quest of Life was also created
by Maurice after he had seen the crude
performance in the Apache dens of Paris.
Having danced these, and many other
steps at the exclusive Biltmore hotel in
New York and on the stages of the lead
Ing theatres in practically all of the
principal cities, this popular pair can
truthfully be said to have spread the
gospel of metric grace all over the coun-

Theodore Roberts and Anita King are
co-stars at the Strand on Friday and
Saturday in anton the Terrible" five
part Lasky-Paramount production.
The story which created such sensa-

Anton, although chief of the Russian
secret police. is in reality German spy
How clever woman, to save her lover,
succeeds in trapping Anton and confronts
him with his own guilt, is presented in
an unusual and startling manner. The
scenes of the picture are laid In Petro-
grad and on the steppes of Siberia and
the photodrama is produced with more
than the usual Lasky excellence, under
the personal direction of William C. De-
Mile, the distinguished dramatist and
dir ector.

Miss King include such prominent ar
fists as Horace B. Carpenter, Edythe
