Legs by the Ton
By WALT MASON

TN 81, when civil strife was threaten
ing the nations life his comrades saw
j. Hanger fall, his leg all shattered by
a BAH. Then to the rear he carried was,
where army surgeons with their saws, and
also with their snickersnees, implored him
to look pleasant, please, and they re-
moved the wounded limb, which meant
much agony to him.
When he recovered from his wound,
with thoughtful eyes he looked around.
He realized that thousands more on those
red fields of strife and gore, amid the din
Of wars alarms, would lose their legs, and
also arms. "Good artificial limbs they'll
need when they have ceased to fight and
bleed, and l, he said, "will surely try to
have for them large supply
Then for himself he made limb, and
found it was boon to him. This hap
pened fifty years ago; and he has seen his
business grow until his limbs display their
worth in all the countries of the earth.
In Washington six stalwart sons assist him
making tons on tons of instruments which
give life charms to those who've lost their
legs or arms. In half dozen towns
branch shops are filling orders without
stops, and now in London and Paree the
sign of Hanger you may see.
He can relieve the black despair of
countless hosts of soldiers there, and to
that end his workmen toll by day and
burn the midnight oil. The British gov
ernment has made a contract with him,
and his trade among the crippled men of
France with every day sees an advance.
And thus, because man was shot in
81, when war was hot, because bullet
broke bone, a splendid industry has
grown-an industry that gives to men,
robbed of their limbs, new hope again.

| To control the present epidemic of infantile paralysis, according to a statement issued by the United States Public Health Service to-day, the chain of infection between persons harboring germs of the disease and the we'll members of the community should be broken. Infantile paralysis is probably caused by very minute | organism found in the nasal mout. and bowel discharges of those who have the disease or who are carriers of the germ without themselves suf- | fering from the ailment. All of the steps in the spread of the infection are not known but if this germ can be presented from passing from the infected to the well person the disease will cease. t Infantile paralysis is not a disease of recent origin. Sporadic or scat tered cases havesoccurred throughout the country for many years, but it is | only during the last decade that the infection has assumed epidemic pro- portions in the United States. The present epidemic in New York city on account of it's magnitude and virulance has awakened the residents of many communities to the danger of the importation of the disease into their own midst. This danger is real but if due precautions are exercised it is believed that the epidemic will subside.
 The actual control of the present epiSynic must be left to the city, state and federal health authorities These organizations will probably quarantine and care for infected per- sons, prescribe sanitary measures and limit as may be necessary the travel of individuals in order to protect neighboring districts from the infee- ton. Individuals and communities, | however, can do much towards their own protection.
 Poliomyelitis is probably spread di- rectly or indirectly through the me- dium of infectious secretions. Ac- count must therefore be taken by communities of every means by which such secretions are disseminat- ed. Promiscuous approximations should be controlled. The common | drinking-cup affords a method for the interchange of material of this nature and should therefore be abol- ished. Rigid cleanliness of places should be enforced. Flies, reaches and other vermin by coming in con- tact with infective secretions, may possibly convey toN our food and thus directly bring about the development of disease. Therefore eliminate in. sects. Street and house dust bear a definite relation to the spread of many infections and it is not unrea- sonable to presume that they may be a factor in the dissemination of in- fantile paralysis. Maintain strict cleanliness of streets. yards, and al- 1eys in order to prevent the breeding of insects and other vermin.
 See that all garbage and waste are properly cared for and collected at regular and frequent intervals. Guard all food supplies. especially milk and

Hints for Prevention
 of lnfantile Paralysis


other perishable products. Digestive troubles of children arising from the indigestion of food of questionable quality may lower resistance. As semblies of children in infe"ted To- calities are to be discouraged, If not actually forbidden. While the above measures are in a sense general, and applicable to many epidemic diseases, their importance should not be over looked.
 Individual preventative measures may be thus summarized:
 Summon a physician at once and immediately notify the health officer of the presence of the disease. If the disease is present in the com munity, medical aid should be sought whenever child is sick no matter how light the illness; many cases of infantile paralysis begin with a slight indisposition. Should the illness prove to be infantile paralysis, isolate the patient, place a competent per- son in charge, and reduce all com- munication with the sick room to a minimum.
 Hospital care is preferable, not only for the child but in order to better SafeguarQ against the spread of the disease. The sick room should be well ventilated and screened, nasal and mouth secretions should be received in cloths placed in paper bag and burned. The clothing of the child, the bed-linen and the excre- tions should be disinfected in the same manner as for typhoid fever, that is by boiling, long continued application of 5 per cent. carbolic, or other well recognized disinfectant. The same is true for dishes and drinking vessels. Nurses should ex- ercise the same precautions as re- gards cleanliness of pans in caring for infantile paralysis patients as for those afflicted with other infectious diseases.
 A child may convey the disease to others even after a lapse of several weeks. For this reason quarantine should be maintained for considerable period, usually from to 8 weeks and the above precautions should be ad- hered to during this time. Disinfec- tion of the room following recovery is advisable.

CONSIDERING THE PROTEST,

Manager O'Rourke, of the Bridge port baseball club, went to Derby this morning to attend the special meeting of the directors of the Valley league in relation to the protested Bridgeport game played in the former place last Thursday. Readers of The Farmer will remember that the. local manager entered a protest on the ground that the umpire had disregarded the plain rules in not in- sisting upon Derby putting a new ball into play in the final inning, when Doherty, with two men out knock ed both balls that had been in play out. of the field. The rules provide that the umpire in such cases shall without any delay call for new ball. He, has no option in the mat ter. The rules are specific and state what shall be done, not what may be done at the discretion of the umpire.
 The latter was MT. Hill, of Sey- mour. and he ,steadfastly ignored O'Rourke's protest. While the argu- ment was going on, one of the Der by teams attendants threw in an old ball. and the Bridgeports were com pelled to play or lose the game by for felt. At the meeting to-day, |ORourke stated the position of the home team clearly and forcib1y. He secured an admission from Capt. Hem dricks of Derby, that what he clain1ed about the refusal of the umpire to or der a new ball put in play was as stated. O'Rourke then called to the attention of Messrs Mccarthy Burns and Houlihan, the three directors who were qualified to sit in judgment, that all he claimed as admitted by the opposing witness. He then read the rule which stated the duty of the umpire in such an emergency. If the decision is governed by the rules, there is no doubt but that the game will be ordered played over again.
 Porter of Derby offered a number of objections to O'Rourke's position, and suggested that his Interpretation of the playing rules be adhered to. No doubt this would suit Derby. No decision was rendered to-day.
