SEE HOPE OF CURE
 FOR CHILD PLA6UE
Johns Hopkins Hospital Ex=
 ports Making Progress,

Pathologists at Johns Hopkins hos pital, Baltimore. working on infantile paralysis, have begun to reach definite conclusions which, while not entirely in the nature of discoveries, afford a knowledge of the disease and it's ef fleets. They have not put their "patho logical findings" in shape for report. but 1t Is known the investigators are gaining very complete knowledge of the effects of the disease, especially those effects apparent after death.
 It is in the careful examination of these autopsies that they are obtaining most encouraging results. All the body changes resulting from the disease are known to them. The identification of the disease in cases of doubt has been made easier by their findings.
 This was the first forward step. Working back from this knowledge the doctors are tracing the progressive steps of the disease in an effort to find some clew to the formation of the SC rum developed in the blood of those having the disease and which has been used with good effects in the early stages.
 This human serum" was eXtracte from small quantities of blood taken from those who have been cured.

URGES SUNDAY PAPER CUT.
United States Trade Commission Anx
 ious Over Print Shortaqe.

Chairman Hurley of the federal trade commission has sent a letter to the publishers of large Sunday news papers asking their opinion of the feasibility of effecting a considerable reduction in the consumption of print paper by cutting down the size of their papers. The letter says:
 "The paper saved by cutting down the size of one large Sunday edition several pages would be sufficient to keep a number of smaller papers sup piled for a considerable time. Unles, present supplies of paper can be in creased, which does not now seem probable, such unselfish action on the part of the large city papers appears to be the only means that will save many of the smaller publishers from going out of business"

Human beings seem to divide them
selves into two classes: the sturdy in

ihe Jog Is an interesting animal of
great intelligence. In the ntire animal
kingdom he is the farthest advanced
toward the human incarnation of all the
quadrupeds. This is due greatly to his
close association with human beings and
'the education received through their COM
partnership.
Everything which Is contains the divine
essence. II sleeps in the mineral kingdom,
stirs in the vegetable kingdom, sounds in
the animal kingdom and thinks in the
human kingdom. Everything is on its
way back to God. Everything has its
place and sphere in this present incarna-
ton. 1t would be folly to take the min
erals and try TO use them as vegetables.
It would be ridiculous to try TO make a
vegetable appear as an animal and it is
quite as ridiculous to undertake to make
an animal appear like a human being in
attire or department
Animals are entitled to our kind care,
our sympathy and our affectionate treat
ment. BY bestowing these we help them
along toward the development which will
fit them for a higher plane and at the
same time we develop our own characters
by showing our consciousness of respon-
sibility toward weaker things. But the
moment we begin to give animals the
same treatment which wc give to chill
dren OF human adults we make ourselves
ridiculous. There are silly women who
give their dogs q seat at the table; there
are silly women who talk baby talk to
their dogs and lavish caresses upon them
in public, and now comes the silliest OF
all women who is bestowing diamond
earrings upon her dog.
1t Is not only silly, but It is unkind to
the dog and accomplishes nothing save
to exploit a foolish vanity and desire for
publicity. That great SOUL ]. Howard
Moore. says in his "Universay Kinship:"
Look upon and treat others as you do

ing the members Of the same great being
with yourself. This Is the spirit of the
ideal universe. IL is this alone can redeem
the world and give to it the peace and
harmony for which It longs. Yes, do as
you would be done by and not to the
dark man and the white woman alone,
