INFANTILE PARALYSIS CLOSER.
One Case of the Disease is Reported to
the State Board Of Health From
SomerS Township.

Renewed activity for the battle in
Kenosha against infantile paralysis was
in evidence at the Office of the health
department this morning when a mes
sage from Madison stated that case
Of the dread baby plague had been re-
ported from the town of Somers in this
county. Health Commissioner Wright
at once made an effort to get some more
definite report from Health Commission
er Thomas of the town of Somers, but
he was unsuccessful up to a late hour.
DR.. Wright declared that he would go
to Somers at once and make provision
against the possible spread of the dis
ease to Kenosha. With nearly eighty
cases of the disease in the state, the
commissioner feels that Kenosha is go
ing to be very fortunate if the disease
does not make its appearance here.

Foreigners ARE BENEFITED
Many Local Churches Hear Of the
Purpose Of the Society on
Sunday to Aid in
the Work.

L. B. Trowbridge of Chicago, a rep
resentative of the Chicago Tract So
ciety, spoke at several of the Kenosha
churches on Sunday in the interest of
that organization. In the morning he
addressed audiences at the Park Ave
nue. Methodist Church and the First
Baptist Church. The members of the
Grace Lutheran Sunday school heard
him at noon, and he addressed mis-
slonary meeting at the German Metho-
dist Church in the evening. Mr.. Trow-
bridge expects to remain in Kenosha
for several days, and during that time
he will seek to arouse more interest in
the society among the church people of
the city, and to raise funds for carrying
on the work.
The work is not foreign to Kenosha,
as the society has sent missionaries
here on many occasions to work among
the Poles, Bohemians, Armenians and
Russians. 1t is entirely interdenomina-
tional, and is supported by practically
all the evangelical churches. The So
c1ety has been in existence 20 years
and has headquarters in fifty different
cities of the central west. It's purpose
is as follows:
To carry the gospel to the poor and
neglected, especially by means Of the
printed page; to supply to missionaries
and workers suitable literature in all
languages; to employ missionary -colpor-
teurs to visit from house to house in
destitute quarters and among the neigh
bors of foreign speech in order to win
the Wanderer and save the lost; to up,
hold Christian ideals and to place as
much helpful Christian literature as
possible in the homes otherwise out Of
reach of the evangelical churches.
Although the society is primarily a
religious organization it does a great
deal of social service work in the wav
Of conducting employment agencies
holding classes in English, and deliver
ing talks on citizenship to the foreign
born people. 1t has 25 home mission
aries working in congested districts
among their own countrymen. These
workers speak to the immigrants in
their own languages; they go where the
people are, in the homes, lodging houses,
saloons and factories; they reach them
by persistent, informal individual eff
fort; they distribute Bibles, books,
tracts, and religions papers in the
languages Of the people; they conduct
street meetings and noon gatherings in
factories and shops; they cooperate
with immigration bureaus, labor agen-
cies, hospitals and other philanthropic
societies.

SUFFERED FROM PARALYSIS
Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. T. T. Parker
Will Go to Chicago and Give Blood
to Save the Life of Little suf-
ferer from Kewaunee, III.

Kenosha has a heroine of whom any
city might be proud-a little girl who
is willing to give some of her blood to
aid in the cure of another little girl
who is lying seriously i'll with infantile
paralysis at her home in Kewaunee,
Ill. The little girl is Jean Constance
Parker, the eight year old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Truman 7. Parker, 423
Strong street, who is going to make this
| sacrifice to show her gratitude for hav-
ing recovered from the dread disease.
An appeal for some blood from a
child who had suffered and recovered
! from an attack of infantile paralysis
was made the latter part of last week
| through the columns of the Chicago
Tribune, but the Parker family did not
learn of it until yesterday. This morn
ing Mr.. Parker telephoned to the news
paper Office the offer of his little daugh-
| ter, and they informed him that it was
the first response to the appeal, which
was made to them by druggist, Ed
ward Park of North Robey street, Chi
cago. Tt is not known when little
Jean will be taken to Chicago for the
operation, but it is believed that it
win be soon.
To look at the little active brown
eyed, curly haired girl it would sarce-
ly seem possible that she had ever been
victim of the dread disease, but when
she was two and one-half years of age
she suffered an attack which crippled
her right foot The little girl had gone
to bed apparently in her usual good
health, and when she arose the next
morning she was unable to walk. A
local physician was called and he
thought the trouble had been caused
by an injury. The foot was kept in a
cast for two weeks and as it was worse
at the end of that time the parents
were advised to take the child to DR..
Blanchard, a Chicago specialist who
declared it to be Enthusiastically a case
of infantile paralysis.
The physician instructed Mrs. Par
ker in the proper method Of massage,
and it is entirely due to the mothers
untiring efforts that the child was per-
manently cured of the ailment. Every
hour for two months the treatment was
given little Jean, and after that time
it was gradually decreased until at the
end of six months the child was prac-
tically cured.
"When I read of the hundreds of
children suffering from this dread dis
ease and how dreadfully crippled many
of them are left, I feel that we should
do everything in our power to help the
little girl at Kewaunnee recover"
said Mrs. Parker this afternoon.
'FLittle Jean is willing to give her
blood for such good cause as she is
old enough to realize what she
escaped. ("

SEEKS MISSING WIFE.
Rudolph Snyder Tells Police That His
Wife Has Been Missing Since
Last Friday.

Rudolph Snyder, residing at COZ
Charles street, made an appeal to the
police on Sunday for aid in searching
for his wife who has been missing from
their home since Friday. Snyder ex-
planned to the police that he had no
idea why the woman had left home
and that she had said nothing to him
about going away. He declared that
their relations about the home had
been most pleasant and that she had
no reason to run away. No other man
was mentioned in connection with the
case. It is thought possible that the
missing woman is in Chicago and search
is being made for her there.

matched to play an extra game with
the Muscatines and were returned the
winners again. Manager Geo. Strang-
berg led the 77777's through both
games in great shape and his excellent
judgment in handling his players in
the tight places saved the game a num-
Der of times. Manager Strangberg
took no chances on these two games,
and sent his star pitcher Willie Ander-
son into both games. Anderson pitch
ed fine ball all the way. During the

game and was backed up in great
shape. The jolly crowd returned to

ing that they ever attended,

ONE in ELEVEN INFANTS DIE
Health Instruction Bureau Makes Sug-
gestions for the Care Of the
Baby During His Early
Life.

The extreme heat of this summer has
turned the minds of many persons to
the suffering of the babies, and Keno
sha women are showing an increasing
interest in what is being done for their
comfort and health. 1t is asserted by
competent authorities that under pres
emit conditions one out Of every eleven
babies born in Wisconsin will sicken
end die before the end Of its first year
Of life. The majority Of these deaths
are due to carelessness and neglect
not wilful neglect, but the neglect that
is caused by ignorance. Only too many
of the mothers in Wisconsin are woe
fully ignorant in the care of their ba-
bies.
The extension division Of the health
instruction bureau of Wisconsin has the
following suggestions to make regard
ing the care Of the baby, which if fol-
lowed, will do much toward preserving
the health of the little one:
The baby cannot be alternately ac-
corded neglect and fussing over, ac-
cording to the within Of the mother.
There must be definite daily routine
followed in the care of the baby.
"To begin with, there must be abso-
Lutte cleanliness. The baby must be
bathed regularly every day; in warm
weather an additional sponge bath dur
ing the day helps keep the baby cool,
comfortable and healthy Give him an
occasional cool, not cold drink Of pure
water. The baby's clothes must be
clean, his bed and his room kept free
from dust and germs When he begins
to creep, his face and hands must be
washed frequently SO that dirt may not
find its way into his mouth
"The baby needs to sleep twenty
Lours during the first months, and six
ten hours, at least, at the age of one
year. Lei him sleep out-of doors every
day, and have his windows open at
night. Keep flies and mosquitoes away.
Fresh air fortifes him against pneumo-
MIA, tuberculosis, and common colds.
Train him to go to sleep by himself
without rocking or singing. The less
baby is handled the stronger he
grows. Give him chance to kick and
squirm with his clothes off, however.
He must have his own bed, too.
If possible, the baby should always
be breast fed. Mothers milk is the
true baby's food, and is never contain
mated or influenced by the weather.
IL artificial feeding is absolutely neces-
sary, only pure cows milk, modified
according to the prescription of COM
petent doctor, should be given. Keep
the milk on ice until just before feed
ing when it should be warmed. Do not
give prepared foods. They contain too
much starch. Babies bowels should be
trained to move regularly every day.
"If the baby shows symptoms of
sickness, call doctor at once DO not
attempt to doctor your own baby.
Delay in getting competent care may
mean serious illness or death. ONLY a
good physician knows what to do for a.
sick baby, or one who threatens to be
sick. Do not let the threat turn into
reality-nip it in the bud by putting
the child under a wise doctor s care.
