Infantile Paralysis.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Some time ago this case of paralysis
was written up in the newspapers: A
dressmaker was attacked by paralysis;
when physician Investigated he found
that the disease was caused by the lead
! used in the manufacture of the sewing
silk and she had been in the habit of
biting the sewing silk off. the poison
| thereof accumulating in her body.
Isn't it worth while investigating the
and food and drink used for young
children in order to ascertain if lead is
the cause of the disease now raging in
New York?
lead causes paralysis Our drinking
water stands in lead pipes. Probably
the initiated will run off the water so
standing until that in the lower iron
pipes is used, but how many in this
hustling age take time to do so2 In
the congested work-a day districts
very few, If any, no doubt, and in the
other districts when the maids" hold
sway over their infant charges how
many of the aforesaid will prove to be
ignorant OF water poisoning by lead
pipes when they prepare the milk and
cleanse the bottles? Then how MANY
of the aforesaid maids may prove to
be members of that band Of "eye ser
wants We hear tell of? Why haven't
| the wise ones looked into this matter
OF water poisoned by lead pipes? The
drug amethlyenamin, so far doesn't
seem to fll the bill.
another case to our knowledge. A
| lady whose paralysis was caused by
rushing from very hot kitchen. where
| she, as hospitable hostess. was helm
| ing her maid in preparing '.comnanv,.
| dinner. and while dripping with ner-
! spiration went into q very wet windy
garden in thin slippers, etc. to get
parsley for her chicken gravy. Of
| course, every one knows that arrested
| persplratIon has a disastrous effect nm
| the human system. Has that phase ~
! the subject been looked intop Do dot :
/ ing mothers give their babies ice water
| or Ice cream when they are overhearedo
! or bathe them? or have cold draugbts
! ton?
| The consensus of opinion seems to be
that no one, so far. knows what causes
| thls scourge. Guesses have been made
about that ch-swatted creature. the
ny, being the base disseminator of the
disease. but that Industrious purveyor
! or germs has been swatted by human
| lty for 10. these many centuries and
rs 1t not so that infantile PARALYSIS
| has only developed at comparatiyely
| recent date? The theory that the bite
| of the stable fly caused PARALYSIS has
been exploded, according to the I-ntted
states public health service. Perhaps
we shall hear before long that his
pygmy relative, the house fy. is not
! responsible for quite all the ills that
| nave been saddled on his small back
MISS Pussy Cat, too, maybe her char
acter will be cleared as causing This
disease. and these two little scapegoats
! cannot even make kick" acaipct

RESORTS FOR PLEASURE
NUMEROUS ON POTOMAC
Many River Points Where Washing.
tonians Enjoy Life During
Vacation Period.

lHe many pretty spots that line the
Potomac river banks from Alexandria
TO Its mouth are attracting residents of
Washington as desirable places for the
summer vacation period. On each trip
of the steamers to the various resorts
numbers of persons leave town for
points where bathing Is good and
where sport can be had with the fish
ing line and crab net. Colonial Beach
is among the more popular resorts, as
it is the largest. and it is there that
most of the summer vacationists from
this city are spending their time. Co.
'onial Beach in the last year or two
has been greatly improved with modern
sanitary sewerage and good water OBJ
tanned from artesian wells that go
deep into the earth. It's bathing beach
is on salt water, and is as desirable a
bathing place as is any spot on the
coast. Big, green crabs are caught at
the beach, and a short distance away
are fine fishing grounds, where big
trout. croakers, bluefish and other va
rieties are taken from the water daily.
Historic Places Within Easy Reach.
Colonial Beach is located. in West
moreland county, one of the historic
counties of Virginia. Wakefield, the
birthplace of George Washington, and
Stratford, the birthplace of Robert E.
Lee. are but few miles away. The
steamer St. Johns makes trips there
every day except Monday.
In addition to the many popular re-
sorts the Potomac river has excellent
steamboat lines that offer delightful
trips of day-or two days. The steam
er Majestic, the new boat of the Poto-
mac and Chesapeake line, leaves here
each Monday. Wednesday and Saturday
evening at 4 o'clock for thirty-six
hour trips on the river. From early
next morning until night she visits the
many tributaries of the river near it's
mouth that are unknown to most Of
worth a visit
