Perseverance for Paralysis

FOR the encouragement of parents
whose home may have been visited by
lnfantile paralysis, won't you please
publish the following case, emitting
names, which l give for your own sub
sanitation? A boy received four
months treatment for his paralysis OF
the leg at clinic, then eight months
at another clinic. He was then taken
TO a hospital where an operation for
liking the foot and ankle in a rigid
position was suggested, as the only
apparent procedure possible, there be-
ing marked wasting and no control
over the weakened muscles. At that
time another mother persuaded the
parents to take the child to another
hospital, where her own child had
been greatly benefited. The parents
regarded this as an absurdity, but in
vestigated, and finally took the boy to
the hospital, where the treatment is
simply daily electricity, massage,
hydrotherapy and muscle education,
plus PERSEVERANCE and PA
THENCE. 1t required seven months
before the child even showed any
promise Of bearing his weight on the
anected leg, but after one full year of
treatment he is able 10 walk with
scarcely any noticeable limp.

cided that the board of public works
should prepare plats and estimates and
call for bids for the work, also for the
Cedar street storm drain. According
to Mr.. Crowley, the sewers have all
been covered with dirt, until the
mouths of the drains are below the
river bed. The extension of the levee
work in building the levee to the Cres-

Grand Jury Delayed Day.-Eight of
the IL members of the grand jury pre-

Fred Schumacher is foreman of the

No More Movies for Juries.-While
the county officers of Scott county gen.
orally came in for praise by the state
examiners, the board of supervisors of
that countp was taken to task for
few irregularities, such as paying for
20 tickets to moving picture show for
a jury engaged in a murder trial, and
buying whisky for prisoners in the
county Jail. Scott county is the only
county in Iowa which has never IL
legally RENTED taxes, according to the
report filed yesterday with Joseph f.
Wall, head of the county accounting
department of the state All property
owners in that county have been re-
quired to pay their portion for the sun
port or the various divisions OF govern
ment, the report says. One of the
clerks or the county charged $3.50 ex-
pense as bill for taxicab in going to
the court house at night TO receive a
verdict OF a jury. The examiners saw
that It was kind of the supervisors TO
provide the taxi, but IL was illegal. On
three occasions, the sheriff paid 50 for
whisky for the use of the prisoners.
The examiners say this possibly NAV
have been used as medicine and neces-
sary TO maintain the peace and outlet
OF the jail and to quiet prisoners recov-
ering from a spree.

A BLIGHTED ROMANCE.
It was long ago / met her.
! Gosh l never will forget her.
She was pretty,
She was witty,
And a vision, on the dead.
But she turned me down completely
And informed me very sweetly
That another
Lovelorn brother
| Was the one that she would wed
Then I thought of suiciding
And for days I kept in hiding.
l was crazy,
l was hazy,
And the world was nought to me.
But before / pulled the trigger,
just started in to figger
would linger
Till the finger
OF old Fate was kind to me.
Now I'm glad l didn't get her,
And I'm very glad l let her
Wed the other
Lovelorn brother,
Though the sentiment sounds mean.
For she now is suffragetting
And her husband is just getting
Ger a fracture
So they tell me
Where she soaked him on the bean.

and spit. 1t bothers me whenever /
try to talk or laugh. Can you tell me
what to do for it?
Answer.-Probably trouble left in
the ethmoid or sphenoid cells. Go to
your doctor and have him treat the
trouble locally, or if he doesn't do
such work he can refer you to a nose
and throat specialist Send stamped

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

When doctor calls a patient a neur-
asthenic, what does he mean and how
should 1t be treated. I am a girl of 10.
Answer.-It means that the doctor
can find no organic trouble. 1t means
that he believes the nervous energy is
depleted from one cause or another.
Neurasthenia means lack of nerve
strength. You are rather young to
have it. Perhaps there is a family ten
dency to nervous troubles. 1t should
be treated by good hygiene, rest,
change of scene, perhaps change of oc-
cupation. There is no specific treat
ment; the management of the case
must be determined by individual
needs.

SEVERAL husbands whom we have
interviewed agree that their wives look
better in their last falls suits than
they would in the new models But it
is suspected that their verdicts have
been prompted by mercenary motives
Now if their wives would come back
and argue that their bubbles should be
satisfied another winter with their old
kellys and overcoats. There would be
the rub that would bring home the
bacon. But you can leave it to the
women to overcome whatever little
obstacles may lie in their pathway at
this time of year when it is time for
new outfits.

The motion picture art, which is now
reckoning the worlds greatest artist

When Anna Pavlowa was signed by

$4,000 in cash, paid her before the

tanned a half interest in the pictures
Now that all other concerns have
were drawing fabulous prices, the
Universal comes out with real fact
and figures so plain that even a gram
mar school child can figure it out for
himself.
Although the stage starts are capt.
plating to the motion picture screens
almost daily, one may not name one
celebrity who has so far been enticed
from the speaking stage who is in
class with Anna Pavlowa. None of
the famous singers, such as Geraldine
Farrar, can bring 10 the screen all of
their gifts, such as gave them fame.
The voice of the diva cannot be heard
in motion picture theater, but in the
case of Anna Pavlowa, she will not
only bring all of her consummate
artistry to the screen, but she may be
expected 10 reveal herself as the
greatest living dancer, as the great
est living exponent of pantomine, and
as the greatest actress as well.
