persons in a few days sounds the warn

disease of poliomyelitis tinfantile paraly
Sis is not understood at all and its
causes are very obscure, about the only
important bit of knowledge being that it
is contagious, apparently. Every state
board of health should be alert to meet
the danger as far as it Is possible to be,
that of Vermont in particular because
the people of Vermont have become ac.
quainted with the ravages of the disease
1t might be well to issue instructions to
the people as TO the extreme desirability
of maintaining strict quarantine should
there come an outbreak of the disease in

mobiles for entertainment of Chica
go's guests and many private homes
will take care of the city's visitors.
