sons who had shown themselves hos

richment OF those actively assisting
England's enemies.

DISEASE DEVELOPS IN MANNER

THE most salient facts were gath

mont OF Health has had thirty nurses
and nve physicians out investigating q
tho carrier problem which deals with
the spread Of tho disease.
"We have satisfied ourselves tina,
lnfantiic paralysis II spread chiefly
from child TO child. In other words
It's development In largely like that
of measles and whooping cough. and
II In spread by personal contact be-
tween child and child just as arc

The Importance OF this discovery
can be estimated whom 1t Is realized
that for ten days n child or an in
fant may be suffering from infantile
paralysis and its parents DO In abso-

thus In ignorance they would carry
