CHILD MALADY WANING
is BELIEF OF EXPERTS
May Be Entirely Eradicated by
Time Schools Open in
Mid-September.

NEW YORK, August 26-The num-
Der of new cases of infantile paralysis
continues to decrease. In the opinion
of local health authorities the epidemic
is on the wane and may be entirely ex-
tinguished by the time schools are re-
opened in mid-September.
DIR. Charles E. Banks, senior surgeon
of the United States public health serv-
ice, said today the disease has reached
it's highest point. and predicted that
from now on there will be marked
decrease. During the twenty-four
hours ended at 10 am. today there
were only ninety-one new cases, the
lowest in a month, and twenty Ave
deaths. Yesterday there were ninety
four new cases and twenty-five deaths.
While the daily improvement of the
infantile paralysis situation has con-
WINGED experts that the epidemic Is I'M
der control, health department bureau
heads estimate that the total number
of cases will exceed 10000 before the
disease is stamped out. They predict
that $500 children will be left so badly
crippled they will have to wear braces
and that more than 5000 others will
hover between being perfectly well
and being permanently crippled.
The death toll from the epidemic, it
is estimated. will be 1900 to $500.
There already have been 1924 cases
and 1854 deaths.

NTary's Kitnhen Sink.

Mary is the wife of a country
storekeeper. She keeps the house,
takes care of the children and helps
wait on the store. She works hard
harder than her husband. and ne
works harder than he should.
Up to the present time they have
had few Of the conveniences OF life.
Water came from a nearby spring,
and the homework was done under
distressing conditions, owing to the
greed Of the landlord. He finally
agreed to put in the improvements so
necessary to human comfort, and
Mary's life promised to become
easier. The problem was where to
put the kitchen sink.
Now Mary had favorite rocking
chair that had mortgage on the cor
ner. Next came the stove. then her
Kitchen cabinet. To put the sink in
the corner would disturb the rocking
chair, and that would never do. The
stove and the cabinet could not be
moved; therefore 1t was resolved, af-
Ter much elaboration, to put the sink
In an ad1oing room, In dark cor
ner thirty feet from the stove. This,
of course, meant miles of walking
every day for Mary, but she could
find no other way. But kindly in
c1fned friend, who could study a job,
suggested moving the cabinet just
one foot and putting the sink between
the stove and the cabinet. where II
belonged. 1t was done, and, behold,
Mary is happy, rested woman.
Now, what Is the moral of 1t all7
Just this: Too many women walk
too much on their jobs, which job
consists in getting the housework
done in the shortest time and with
the least expenditure OF energy. Why
should Mary-why should any wonl-
an-walk half mile in getting
dinner? A pan in one place. a pot
IN another, -four. sugar and salt IL
another. Back and forth, to and fro
and for what? Wearing out shoes
carpets and nerves, just because the
kitchen sink has not been put in Its
place. It's a fine art to have things
handy. The thrifty workman studies
his work to see how he can cut II
down. keeping tools in good condl-
ton, but near by.
A certain business man in New
York cannot dictate a letter. lie
