PARALYSIS FIGURES TAKE UPWARD LEAP Increase in New Cases of Nearly
 100 Per Cent. NEW JERSEY BARS CHILDREN
Guards Placed at All Terminal Points to Keep Out Boys and Girls Under Sixteen-New York's Deaths Total 1,463.

New York, Aug 15.-The epidemic
 of infanti1e paralysis has taken a turn for the worse, despite the contin- uatiOn of unusually cool weather. During the twenty-four hours ending at 10 a. m. today, 163 new cases of the disease and 39 deaths were re- ported to the health departm ent. This iG an increase in new cases of nearly 100 per cent over yesterdays figures which showed 95 were stricken with the plague and 91 deaths. Failure of physicians to report cases over the Sunday holiday was suggested as a reason for the increase in today's fig ures Since the epidemic began there have been 6,532 cases and 1,463 deaths
 New Jerseys statewide quarantine against the plague was put into effect today. Special guards were placed at all terminal points to prevent chill dren under sixteen years old from en- tcring the state, and local restrictions cf the most stringent character were ordered at the various coast resorts. Building operations on many of the large private estates have been sus- pended.
 Advises Normal Blood Serum.
 Family physicians were advised today by Dr. Abraham Zingher of Willard-Parker hospital, to try the use of normal blood serum ob- tained from parents as a, method of rendering their children immune to infant1le paralysis. Many cases of this disease have been treated in Will lard-Parker hospital during the present epidemic.
 The theory on which Dr. Zingher and his assistants are working is that the blood of the normal adult contains the ant-bodies which neu- tralizes the virus of polionnyelitis, or infantile paralysis. Some physicians believe the presence of these anti bodies is due to the fact that the parents have had the disease in an form. It is stated that if the theory of the anti-bodies is correct the blood serum treatment may prove as effective in preventing infantile paralysis as vaccination is In preventing typhoid.
 '"The treatment Is entirely harmless and the experiment. is worth trying" said Dr. zingher. Tt can be admin :stered easily by any reputable fam Sly physician.
 '"The theory is based on the fact that a very large portion of adults apparently are immune to the dis ease, although few of them contract i1, and on the fact that children in the nursing period seldom are victims. T. appears likely that the children carry the immunity of the parents"
 Bridgeport, Aug. 1.-Two children died in this city today from infantile paralysis. Geraldine Kunke1, of Den yer avenue, and Everett Cumile, of South avenue, were the victims. The deaths occurred this morning within forty minutes of each other. No new cases had been reported up to noon.
 It was expected that a meeting of the board of aldermen would be held late this month to consider with Mayor Wilson, plans for proposed

FARM ITEMS

The executive committe Of the Wis
consin Potato Growers Assn, at re-
cent meeting decided upon Eau Claire
as location for the farmers potato
convention. This convention will be
held some time next fall and Forest
County as usual will be there with an
exhibit. Conferences of the potato
| interests of Northern and North western
| Wisconsin will be held in the near
future to make arrangements for this
convention. The past convention at
Marinette was the largest potato show
OF it's kind ever held and we believe
that the next years show will be even
better. Let's do our part to make it so.
| Don't forget that we must have root
crops or silage on every farm where
there is cows. Also don't forget that
we need more cows, pigs and chickens
to make a success of our small farm in
the earlier days when we are clearing
up and grubbing out and actually
building a farm out of the woods. A
few chickens, pigs and a garden will
keep the thing going as nothing else
will do.
On Monday evening fine meeting
was held by the county representative
at the Day School. A large crowd
turned out in spite of the weather
which shows a tendency toward better
methods.
On Tuesday another fine meeting
was held at the Siding One School.
Both teachers, Mr.. Earl Haney and
Miss Fontaine respectively, did much
| to further the success of the meetings.
Through cooperation of the school
with the interests for better farming
we may expect d better farm life. On
| Wednesday of last week the county
representative held a meeting at New
aid which was equally as successful as
those mentioned before. On Monday
the oath he conducted one at the Rum
mel School at Wabeno
In these meetings the question of
good roads is going to come in for a
good strong boost. The county high
way commissioner is taking an inter
est in these meetings.
Plan on improving our farm horses
next year. Good colts are source of
wealth to any farm community. Ar
engagements are being made whereby
! first class stallion will be available
next year.
Cheer Up! Next year is going to be
a better year for Forest County. We
are going to have more settlers. We
are going to have better crops because
we have one more years experience.
We are learning 70 do things. Just
remember there is no such thing as
1T can't be done.''
