HON. LA TOILETTE Is
SITTING ON THE FENCE
But Fence Seems To Be Located
Within The Woodrow Wilson Lot.


The Republican candidate for
United States Senator from Wiscon-
sin does recall, when reminded of
the fact, that a man named Charles
f. Hughes is running for the Presi-
dency. When Mr.. Hughes was in
Wisconsin two weeks ago La Fol-
lette was prevented from meeting
him by a previous engagement. The
Republican candidate for Senator
was probably too busy boning up his
speeches defending his vote for the
Eight-Hour law, the Underwood
Tariff bill, and the Seaman's bill.
Enemies have unkindly remarked
that La Toilette is sitting on the
fence. But the fence would seem to
be located so yards inside the Wood
row Wilson lot. Any other year the
case of La Toilette would have been
cited as an example of how hard it is
to be a Republican. This year, on
the other hand, it only proves how
easy it is to be a Republican. One
may approve of the Eight-Hour law,
of the Underwood tariff, of the Child
Labor law, of the Federal Reserve
law, of the Wilson foreign policies, of
all the Wilson policies, of Woodrow
Wilson himself. Nay, one may even
vote for Woodrow Wilson and be a
Republican. No other party in his
tory ever offered such liberal in
ducements to its adherents.-From

PREVENTION OF ,MFANTILE PARALYSIS.

In 1871 the section ON ~"preventive

methods OF controlling his disease.
This committee WAS composed OF Dr..
Frost Of the public health service, DIR.
Hill, now Of london. Ont. and Or. Dix
on of the Pennsylvania health depart
ment.
Most OF their recommendations are
good practice today. They recommend:
/. The isolation and screening of all
persons known To have the disease or
suspected of having the disease. The
isolation period proposed is three
weeks. The reason for isolating sus-
poets is tllat paralysis does dot develop
until from two to six days after The
disease has started and it may MOI APP
pear at ali. Therefore. in times Of
epidemic, every child who gets sick
should be held under suspicion until the
cause of the sicknes is definitely
known. In order to make a diagnosis IL
may be necessary To examine the blood
Gin the very early ssa.-s, or the spinal
fluid Gn the early stases). The three
week period of isolation should be the
minimum. Tho virus has been found in
the nose secretion three months after
the disease started.
.. Distinction of AL discharges from
the patient and OF all articles used by
them and their attendants. This pre-
caution is OF STeal importance. ~ must

In the death of Frank N. King the town loses a sterling, conscientious citizen. He was one of the staunohest mem bers of the Methodist church and lived as closely as possible to its teachings Quiet and unassuming he pursued the even tenor of his way among us, doing his duty day by day as he saw it. A strong and pure character such as his is bound to in. fiuence to greater or less extent all with whom he comes in contact. The stead fast ideals inspire others, and the radiating influences of such an exam pie reach outward in many directions and cover astonishing area. Those of us who through constitutional in- firmity or lack of effort cannot attain such plane may yet join in the sentiment so thoroughly covered by the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant.
