incriminated as a carrier of infection
is doubtful; but we already know
enough to wish to exclude from the
sick, and hence from menacing tia
well, all Objectionable household in
sects.
Food exposed to sale may become
contaminated by flies or from fingers
which have been in contact with secre-
tions containing the virus; hence food
should not be exposed in shops and no
person in attendance upon case of
infantile paralysis should be per-
mitted to handle food for sale to the
general public.
4. Protection to the public can be
best secured through the discovery
and isolation of those i'll of the dis
ease, and the sanitary control of those
persons who have associated with the
sick and whose business calls them
away from home. Both these condi-
tons can be secured without too great
interference with the comforts and
the rights of individuals.
In the first place where homes are
not suited to the care of the i'll SO that
other children in the same or adjacent
families are exposed, the parent
should consent to removal to hospital
in the interest of the sick child itself,
as vel las in the interest of other
children. BUT this removal or care
must include not only the frankly par
| alyzed cases, but also the other forms
of the disease. In the event Of doubt
full diagnosis, the aid of the laboratory
is to be sought since even in the mild
est cases changes will be detected in
the cerebrospinal fluid removed by
lumbar puncture. If the effort is to
be made to control the disease by iso-
lation and segregation of the i'll, then
these means must be made as inclus-
i've as possible. 1t is obvious that in
certain homes isolation can be car
ried out as effectively as in hospitals
But what has been said of the small
incidence of cases of the disease
among the hospital personnel and
those with whom they come into CON
tact, indicates the extent to which per
sonal care of the body by adults anC
responsible people can diminish thu
menace which those accidentally O.
unavoidably in contact with the il
, are to the community. Care exer
cised not to scatter the secretions o
the nose and throat by splitting, cough

and face, changes of clothes, etc
should all serve to diminish this dan

1. The chief mode of demonstrated
of the virus is through
the agency of human beings. Whether
still other modes of dissemination
exist is unknown. According to our
present knowledge, the virus leaves
the body in the secretions of the nose
and throat and in the discharges from
the intestines. The conveyers of the
virus include persons i'll of infantile
paralysis in any of its several forms
and irrespective of whether they are
paralyzed or not, and such healthy
persons who may have become con-
taminated by attendance on or asso-
citation with the i'll. How numerous
the latter class may be is unknown.
But all attendants on or associates of
the sick are suspect. These healthy
carriers rarely themselves fall i'll of
the disease; they may, however, be
the source of infection in others. On
the other hand, the fact that infantile
paralysis is very rarely communicated
in general hospitals to other persons,
whether doctors, nurses, or patients,
indicates that its spread is subject to
ready control under restricted and su-
pervised sanitary conditions.
2. The chief means by which the
secretions of the nose and throat are
disseminated is through the act of
kissing, coughing, or sneezing. Hence
during the prevalence of an epidemic
of infantile paralysis, care should be
exercised to restrict the distribution
as far as possible through these COM
mon means. Habits of self-denial,
care and cleanliness and consideration
for the public welfare can be made
to go very far in limiting the dangers
| from these sources.
Moreover, since the disease attacks
by preference young children and in
| fants, in whom the secretions from
the nose and mouth are wiped away
by mother or nurse, the fingers OF
these persons readily become contain
mated. Through attentions on other
children or the preparation of fooC
which may be contaminated, the virus
may thus be conveyed from the sicl
to healthy. The conditions which OBJ
tain in a household in which a, mother
waits on the sick child and attends
the other children are directly con
trasted with those existing in a we'll
ordered hospital: the one is a menace
the other a protection to the com
munity. Moreover, in homes the prac
tice of carrying small children abou
and comforting them is the rule
through which not only the hands, bu
other parts of the body and the cloth
ing of parents may become contami
mated.
8. Flies also often collect about tn
nose and mouth of patients i'll of in
fantile paralysis and feed on the Sc
cretions, and they even gain access
the discharges from the intestines i
homes unprotected by screens. Th
fact relates to the domestic fly, whic
becoming grossly contaminated wit
! the virus, may deposit it on the nos

practicable means which may be en-
ployed to limit and suppress the cpl
demic, it should tend to prevent a
state of over-anxiety and panic from
taking hold of the community.
6. A percentage of persons, child
rem particularly, die during the acute
stage of the disease. This percentage
varies from five in certain severe epi-
denies to twenty in others. The aver
age death rate of many epidemics has
been below 10 per cent. A reported
high death rate may not be actual,
but only apparent, since in every in
stance the death viii be recorded,
while many cases which recover may
not be reported at all to the authori-
ties. In the present instance it is too
early in the course of the epidemic to
calculate the death rate which may
prove to be considerably lower than it
now seems to be.
z. Of those who survive, a part
make complete recoveries, in which
no Gripping whatever remains. This
number is greater than is usually
supposed, because it includes not only
the relatively large number of slight
or abortive cases, but also a conside
cradle number of cases in which more
or less of paralysis was present at
one time. The disappearance of the
paralysis may be rapid or gradual
may be complete in few days or
may require several weeks or months.
The remainder, and unfortunately
not a small number, suffer some de-
gree of permanent Gripping. But
even in this class, the extent to which
recovery from the paralysis may oc-
cur is very great. In many instances
the residue Of paralysis may be so
small as not seriously to hamper the
life activities of the Individual; IN
others in whom it is greater in may
be relieved or minimized by suitable
orthopedic treatment. But what it is
imperative to keep in mind is that the
recovery or paralyzed parts and the
restoration Of lost muscular power
and function is a process which ex-
tends over long period of time
that is, over months and even years.
So that even a severely paralyzed
child who has made little recovery of
function by the time the acute stage
of the disease is over, may go on gain
ing for weeks, months, and even
years until in the end he has regain
ed large part Of his losses.s For
tunately, only very small number of
the attacked are left severely and
helplessly crippled. Lamentable as
it is that even one should be so af-
fected, it is nevertheless a reassur-
ance to know that so many Escover
altogether and so much of what APP
pears to be permanent paralysis, dis
appears in time.
There exists at present no safe
method of preventive incubation OF
vaccination, and no practicable meth
cd of specific treatment. The pre-
vention Of the disease must be &C.

OUR TRADE OPPORTUNITY.

Thirty per cent of our exports to Russia
and 90 per cent of our imports from Russia
were handled by German commission
houses before the war.
This indirect method of doing business
was expensive, but our manufacturers
I;onored the losses, incidental to the COM
emission system.
This was quite in line with our general
IGNORANCE of all things Russian.
How many persons ever stop to think
that the immigrants from whom we get
most of our ideas of Russia are not Slav
lat all? That they are in no way represen-
I+ative of the rs per cent of Russia's popu-
Ilation which is the real Russian people?
Most intelligent persons know more
about the literature of Russia, and the I'M
migration problem she has sent us, than
they know about the commercial opportu-
mites she offers.
Few realize how enormous IS Russia
natural wealth in minerals, timber and
agricultural lands, or remember the hgures

Etion which furnishes the labor supply she
rreduires for the development of her riches,

But now an awakened Russia" has as
tonished the world.
Russia has discovered herself, economic
ally, as result of the war, very much as
Uncle Sam has discovered himself COM
mercially.
Uncle Sam is now the banker for the
world. His export trade exceeds the vision
of the optimists. But the big question
which is now bothering him is how he car
keep his foreign markets-after the war
"By going after them," say the econo
mists who are making a study of after-the
war trade possibilities. And the genera
impression seems to be that Russia is the
country which presents the greatest trade
opportunity which has ever come Uncle
Sans way.
Before the war Germany controlled hal
of Russia's trade.
After the war it will be long time be
fore Germany can re-establish any kind o
friendly commerce with Russia She has
however, aroused new desires and nev
needs in the Russian masses. The abolition
of the vodka trade has given the people
savings fund with which to crafty thei
