Are not six cups of flour too much for the

Bites Finger Nails

This is to ask you as to what should do
in regard TO the following; The upper flesh about
my, finger nails is in the habit Of becoming hard
and seems to Tecedo at times. OF course II
becomes irrltatlye. SO have formed the habit Of
ngEravateB II, but | cannot resist the tempta-
tion Is such an affection due to "A soft skin?
At my boarding hourse they generally have us
use the common laundry soap. which does not
help matters / presume l have used mentho-
latum. but It doesn't seem TO do much good"
You must not bite your nails. To restrain
yourself requires very little will power.
Probably the tendency to thicken is due
to biting and other methods of abusing the
skin at the base OF the nails. Watch a
manicurlst at work the first opportunity you
get. Probably when you stop biting the
skin around your nails the tendency to
roughen will stop. If not, then soak your
fingers in soap and warm water, push back
the cuticle on the nail with a soft stick and
trim the excess with n manicure scissors.
Do as much Of this as Is necessary but do
not carry II 10 an extreme. Ordinary men
do not manicure their nails enough. So
cIety women spoil their nails by manicuring

VERMONT HAD CHILD PARALYSIS
SAYS DIR. EVANS; NEED DIAGNOSIS
By WILLIAM A. EVANS, NJ. D.

VTERMoNT had a fairly severe epidemic
v OF infantile paralysis In 1914 and
rnilder one in 1915. At the termination of
the 1914 epidemic a philanthropist placed
"a sum of money in tho hands of the State
Board OF Health to be spent in fighting the
disease.
After consulting with Doctor FIexner, the
board decided to spend the money for three
purposes:
l. In educating the physicians of the
State to recognize the disease in its early
stages and especially TO diagnose the cases
In which there is no paralysis.
2. In doing research work.
,. In an effort to redevelop the wasted
limbs of the paralyzed.
DR. Lovett, of Harvard, who had charge
of the work of developing the paralyzed
limbs has held several clinics at which
he has examined the paralyzed. Some
have regained the power of their limbs
through the exercises and manlpulatlons
which he has directed. He has evolved
method of measuring the strength of
muscles The physicians were better able
TO recognize the mild cases in 1915 than
IN the previous year.
Doctor Caverly, in reporting these two
epdemics. says: There was a. large pro-
portion of recovered (abortIve) cases. Sus-
pielous cases were carefully investigated.
Some OF these cases. which formerly would
have passed for colds, grip, indigestion or
teethlng. were occasionally found to. be
really poliomyelitis."
The methods by which some of these mild
cases were diagnosed were various. Some
of them were so recognized because they
were in contact with severe cases, some
because severe cases contracted the disease
from them. Some were diagnosed when
Doctor Lovett's tests showed that they had
weak muscles, some because after recovery
they dragged their toes Just enough to wear
out the tips of the shoes.
The disease started with fever. vomiting.
more or less pains in joints. pain along the
spine in some cases. II is always difficult
70 make a diagnosis without a blood or
spinal fluid test unless there Is paralysis.
Nearly one-hfth of the cases never devel-
oped paralysis.
The average onset of paralysis in this
epidemic was early. The date of its APP
pearance was as follows: Fiftythree cases,
frst day; 81, second day; 53. third day; 43.
fourth day; 10, fifth day; 10, sixth day; 10.
seventh day; ., after the seventh day,
