HARVARD MEDIC0S IN
A STUDY OF PARALYSIS
VIII Seek Causes and Cure For the
Deadly Disease.

Boston. - The Harvard Medical
school has organized Harvard COM
mission on infantile paralysis to study
the causes and to seek cure for the
disease. Dr. II. w. Lovett is chairman,
and the other members Of the commits
sion are DIR. Milton j. Rosenau, DR.
Francis W. Peabody and Roger Pierce,
secretary.
"Our purpose is to study infantile
paralysis until we learn to combat 1t
successfully" said DR.. Rosenau. THE
use of serum made from the blood Of
a person who has recovered from In
fantile paralysis has brought encourag-
ing but not convincing results, but the
results have been such that its use
Is worth continuing"
The commission appeals to all per-
sons who can qualify to make the
blood contribution, asking that they
volunteer a limited amount of blood
for experimental purposes. 1t is also
treating causes Of paralysis. Its serv-
ices are free.

SNAKES IN HOUSE; NO GHOST.
After They Were Killed Mysterious
Noises Stopped.

Barboursyille. W. Va.-The mystery
that has for years surrounded the
haunted house ON the hill back of here
has been solved as a result Of Green
Simpkins, Logan county miner, his
wife and his six children moving into
the house.
Peculiar noises have emanated from
the building at night and for months
weird stories have been told of the
wraiths holding carnival there.
Simpkins, stranger, didn't know
the house was haunted" Mrs. Simp-
kins had occupied the place only short
time when the mysterious sounds terri
fed her.
She took gun and went upstairs,
where she found the cause of the noise
in the maneuvers of a dozen black
snakes that had taken charge Of that
part of the building She was so
frightened she dropped the gun and
screamed for help. Two men passing
heard the screams and they entered
and gave the snakes a battle. 1t was
an hour before all were killed with
clubs and stones.

CAN'T KEEP BOY OUT OF WAR.
American Youth Resists All Efforts to
Send Him Home.

London.-Norman Bruce Wallis, an
eighteen-year-old American from New
Orleans. enlisted as private in the
British army some months ago. Three
attempts have been made by his fam
lily, through the American embassy, to
get him back to the United States, but
the lad Is still in the army, fighting in
France with a Scottish regiment.
When he was released from his regi-
ment the first time and arrangements
made for his passage to America he
missed the connection" by enlisting in
another regiment. All the formalities
for his release were again gone
through, and an official of his embassy
personally installed him in the home Of
some friends to await the sailing date
of the boat in which his passage had
been taken.
Wallis. however returned to his old
regiment. where, through a misunder-
standing, he was arrested for deser-
ton. Punishment was averted by off,
cial explanations. and today Wallis
now known as Norman Macgregor
Bruce-is with his unit in France.

Pensacola, N. C.-This is said to be
United States currency is used.
Pensacola is entirely owned by one
man. He owns the mines, the lumber
camp, the farm lands and the thirty
four miles of railroad which leads from
small junction into Pensacola. In
fact. he is the owner Of the whole
county.
The entire business of the place is
carried on with company "scrip"-that
is, when a mans earnings are paid him
they are given him in the form Of a
due bill, which Is referred to as scrip"
The scrip Is the same as cash and ne
gotiable at the various stores, all Of
which are owned by the Aldridge COM
pany.
When members Of picture play COM
pany recently arrived here they paid
cash for purchases at the stores. They
received their change in SCRIP" and
later the cashier of the company had
to travel fifty miles to small town In
Tennessee to get check cashed in Or

HIGH COST OF LIVING
DUE TO EXPORT TRADE
The Export of Staple Products Doubled
TrebIed and QuadrupIed in the
Past Two Years.

So much has been written and more
said that has not been written or print
ed becaus it would not look pious in
print, about the high cost OF living and
what causes it that we decided to get
some figures for the benefit Of our read
ers that may help to clarity the ques-
ton. Also they may helpsome people
on the road to straight thinking.
The government statistics, printed
herewith, giving the export of staple
commodities for the years 1914 and
1915 and the first nine months of 1916,
up to Oct. 1st, are most startling.
Some people are wont to blame
everything on the Spectator. Now
we happen to know that the Spectator
is not altogether to blame. There are
hundreds OF dealers in the United
States that handle the different articles
named in the export figures. Some of
them handling these commodities in
enormous qua titles. They are accus-
toned 10 buying and selling the pro-
ducts every working day in the year in
large and small quantities. Often they
are asked by customers to make SELL
ing price covering thirty, sixty and
ninety days. Now to do this they
must first have contracted for these
products in quantities to meet the de-
livery at price below the selling price
made. When these dealers see the
export doubling up they naturally come
to the conclusion that the price will
advance. We will try and illustrate
with flour. A certain Minneapolis
miller is in the habit Of using ten mil
lion bushels of wheat every year. He
has already been told by the govern
ment expert that this years crop will
be two hundred million bushels short
OF last years crop. He also sees by
the government export figures that
wheat is being exported in enormously
increasing quantities. Chicago is the
great wheat market of the United States.
He decides in order to be safe in max
ing contracts for the delivery of flour
to buy five million bushels of wheat at

GIRLS LIVED ON PEANUTS.
Two California Students Ate Nothing
Else For Three Months,

Berkeley, Cal. - Living on nothing
but peanuts for three months is the
feat performed by two University of
California goods.
The two girls were acting under in
structions from Professor NJ. e. Jaffa,
head of the department Of nutrition,
who carried on the experiment to test
his theory that peanuts are among the
best and most concentrated foods
available for humans
The experiment was a complete sci
entific success.
I'VE never felt better" said one of
them, who insisted that their names
be kept secret. But I'll never eat an
other peanut. 1 can't bear the sight
of them now"
The peanuts cost each girl Is cents
a day or $1.05 week. This cut their ex-
penses down to $4.2O a month, break
ing the record for frugality on the
campus.

duties of United States marines. They
will be taught practical seamanship, so
that If later in life they desire to enter
the merchant service they will have a
good foundation in nautical learning.
Major General George Barnett, In
command Of the United States marine
corps, has accepted the honorary office
of chief marine scout, In sending his
acceptance to Mr. Irving. who served
fourteen years in the navy. General
Barnett wrote, 81 think the plan Of
teaching the boys the various duties Of
United States marines an excellent one.
and l shall be glad to do anything
within my power and consistent with
my duty to be Of service to the Junior
Marine Scouts"
1--WE take as our special plea to 9TH
ers," Mr.. Irving said. that the train
ing the boys will receive on land and
water will be of greater benefit than
either land or sea training taken sep
arately. It's two In one service, both
naval and military, and we look to see
the idea spread over the entire country
within very short time.
"Our motto is Preparedness not
only of character that will be valu-
able In time Of war. but that will be
equally valuable in time of peace.
When we have our different quarters
established we will teach the boys how
to become better citizens by instruct
ing them in duties that will be well
worth while at all times"

New York.-New York city is taking
the lead In another preparedness move
ment which, in the opinion of its or
ganizers, will become nation wide In
its scope. The newest organization is
known as the Junior Marine Scouts.
More than 800 youngsters living on
the west side Of Manhattan have al

the market price. He instructs his
agent to buy. The agent offers, say,
$1.70 per bushel for FIVE million
bushels. The owner Of that wheat
also knows about the crop report and
export trade. Buying and selling
wheat every year is his business, and
he has his hand on the pulse of the
market. He says to the Minneapolis
man, Il already have several offers for
my wheat at your figures, and one
miller who offers me $1.72 for one
million bushels. I am not anxious
to sell. Think wheat is going higher.
Just received telegram that another
cargo of twenty million bushels has
been sold for export" The Mime
apolis miller also knows all this is true,
and himself thinks wheat will go higher,
and he tells his agent to offer $1.73
for all the wheat owner has to sell.
All this takes place in the spot
market, where actual delivery OF wheat
is made. These transactions affect the
future, or speculative market, where
men guess or what the market price OF
wheat will be in one, two, or three
months in the future. In the mean
time later government reports indicate
that the crop will be even less than at
first reported. Exports increase every
month, and wheat goes higher and
higher as the millers Of the country 60
into the market for the wheat they
must have. Each month. too, the
owner of spot wheat has smaller num-
Der OF bushels to fill orders. Millers
began making purchases for the years
run in May, June and July. The wheat
for sale was not equal to the demand
and the price began to climb and has
been climbing ever since. What is
true of wheat is also true of potatoes,
which are this year short in our own
country. Indeed, 1916 has been a
poor crop rear. Nearly all the farm
products have fallen below the general
average. The export demand has been
growing all the time. The nations en-
gagged in the war must have all the
products named below no matter what
they cost. What is true of wheat and
potatoes is very largely true of every
other article named in the export list.
Just now the export demand for our
products is the determining factor in
price. Read the figures and you will
note how rapidly the foreign demand
dad been increasing since 1914.

HANGING PICTURES.
This Is q Task That Should Produce
Artistic Results,


In going over ones pictures elimi-
nate all but the choicest and best be-
loved and try to group together the
pictures whose subjects are somewhat
related or which have a similarity in
frames. Indeed, even when subjects
are closely related it is not possible al.
ways to hang pictures together owing
to too great difference in the kind of
frames. AS rule, any room looks
better. especially small rooms. where
only one color frame is used on all pic
lures, but if this is not possible then
the next best thing is to keep all of
the pictures in gilt frames in one part
Of the room, all of the dark framed
pictures on another wall, etc.
Also one can get the best results by
separating water colors and prints.
and etchings or engrayings should, of
course, always be hung apart from
other pictures. Another point frequent
ly overlooked is the wisdom of putting
the darker pictures on the wall that
receives the best light from windows
and contrariwise the gilt framed pic
lures of lighter subjects where they
may serve to brighten dark part of
the room.
Finally do not crowd the walls. Hang
pictures well in line with the eyes of a
person of average height and, of course.
choose plain walls, tinted or papered.
