germ OF HFANTILE
PARALYSIS ISOLATED
Physicians Find Cause of Disease
After Years Search.

tBy the international News seryice.)
Philadeiphia, Pa. Sept. 1.-The
germ of infantile paralysis has been
found and isolated at the Jewish
Hospital after a scientific research
of year. Announcement has been
made that the next step will be the
discovery of a cure. 1t is believed
that the cure will be found within
short time.
Philadelphia physicians, Doctors
Myer Solis-Cohen and George ID.
Reist and Prof. John A. Holmer, of
the University Of Pennsylvania, are
responsible for the isolation OF the
germ. The research work was sup
ported by a fund established for
that purpose by Julius Mastbaum.
The germ vas successfully iso-
lated by scientists of the Rookie
feller Institute In 1913. The method
was so complicated, however, 1t
could not be established accurately.
The method of the local Institution
Is comparatively simple and will be
announced to the medical profession,
The presence of another body
found on paralysis victims has been
eNplained to a certain degree. Pre-
viously 1t was thought this body
was present only after death and
was contamination. Doctors Cohen
and Reist and Professor Holmer
have discovered that this body is
present before death and seems to
be associated with the disease. It's
exact status has not been determined.

Vice ARRESTS MADE

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.
Of ill-repute that are known to exist
in the southwest,
The following letter was received by
The Herald yesterday:
Washington, d. c., August 81, 1917.
Editor Herald-You are entitled to
the everlasting thanks of the good
people OF our city for the splendid
manner In which you exposed i'm
moral conditions In Southwest Wash
ington, and compelled the police to
get busy and clean up things down
that way. Long live The Herald for
the great service rendered our city!
while the good work of clean
ing up is going on, let me urge you
to demand of the police that they
give attention to conditions on Sec
ond street northwest, between Z
and G streets. On the northwest
and southeast corners of Second and
streets northwest, things will
bear watching by the vice squad,
while the alleys leading into Sec
ond street are inhabited by prosti-
tutes, boot-leggers and crap shoot
ers, who are never known to work.
They loiter along the street day
and night and make things hideous
with their profanity, vulgarity and
drunken maudlings. Several colored
men hang about the neighborhood
who have not done a days work in
years. One man in particular, who
wears a BARRIERS coat. and once
shined shoes in the barber shop on
G street near Second. does nothing
but buy liquor at the saloons located
on Second street. between F and G,
and G and New Jersey avenue, for
the women loafers in the neighbor-
hood.
This matter was brought to the at
tention of the police not long ago,
but some one on the force, instead of
making arrests, tipped it off to the
offenders, and all the good citizens
OF the neighborhood got was the ha,
ha, while the work of -peddling.
crap-shooting and man-soliciting goes
merrily on.

I DIENCE TO THE LAWS AND ORD1-
lNANCES OF THE GOSPEL.
Between redemption from the power
of death and salvation in the King
dom of Heaven there is vital differ
ence. MAN ALONE CANNOT SAVE
HIMSELF; CHRIST ALONE CAM
NOT SAVE HIM. The plan Of saliva
ton is cooperative. The Atonement
effected by the Lord Jesus Christ has
opened the way; it is left to every
man to enter therein and be saved or
to turn aside and forfeit salvation.
God will force no man either into
heaven or into hell.
Hear the words Of an Apostle of old
concerning the righteous judgment OF
the Almighty:
WHO WILL RENDER TO EVERY
MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS:
TO THEM WHO BY PATIENT CON-
TINUANCE IN WELL DOING SEEK
FOR GLORY AND HONOUR AND
IMMORTALITY, ETERNAL LIFE.
But UNTO THEM THAT ARE CON-
TENTIOCS, AND DO NOT OBEY
THE TRUTH BUT OBEY UN-
RIGHTEOUSNESS INDIGNATION
AND WRATH; TRIBULATION AND
ANGUISH. UPON EVERY SOUL OF
MAN THAT DOETH EVIL, OF THE
JEW FIRST, AND ALSO OF THE
GENTLE. BUT GLORY, HONOUR.
AND PEACE, TO EVERY MAN
THAT WORKETH GOOD, TO THE
JEW FIRST, AND ALSO TO THE
GENTLE: FOR THERE Is NO RE-
SPECT OF PERSONS WITH GOD"
(Romans. 2:6-1D.
Jacob, a Nephite prophet, has given
us mastery summary of the results
of our Lords Atonement, both as to
the universal redemption from death.
and the conditions upon which indi-
vidual salvation may be obtained:
For as death hath passed upon
all men, to fulfil the merciful plan of
the great Creator. there must needs
be a power of resurrection, and the
resurrection must needs come unto
man by reason of the fall; and the
fall came by reason of transgression;
and because man became fallen, they
were cut off from the presence Of
the Lord; Wherefore It must needs
be an infinite atonement; save it
should be an infinite atonement. this
corruption could not put on incor-
ruption. Wherefore, the first judg-
ment which came upon man, must
needs have remained to an endless
duration. And ii shall come
to pass. that when all men shall
have passed from this first death
unto life, insomuch as they have
become immortal, they must appear
before the judgment-seat of the Holy
One of Israel; and then cometh the
judgment, and then must they be
judged according to the holy judg-
ment of God. - And he suffer-
eth this, that the resurrection might
pass upon all men, that all might
stand before him at the great and
judgment day. And he commandeth
all men that they must repent, and
be baptized in his name, having per-
feet faith in the Holy One of Israel,
or they cannot be saved in the king
dom of God. And IL they will not
repent and believe in His name, and
be baptized in his name and endure
70 the end, they must be damned. for
the Lord God, the Holy One of Is
rael, has spoken it, (Book Of Nor

CAMP ORDWAY COOK
GOES TO GUARDHOUSE
Monsieur So-and-So Uses Pipe in
Indiscriminate Manner.

Wanted-One pre-eminently su-
perior French cook, possessing all
of the qualifications which our late
one had save one, his fiery tenn
per!
This in substance would be the
want ad which officers out at Camp
Ordway would insert in a local
newspaper should they feel dis
posed to hire another cook to re-
place the temperamental one which
they have just lost, via the dis
orderly conduct" route.
When Camp Ordway was formed,
soldiers assigned there were jubi-
procure the "in peace time" decid-
edly expensive services of Monsieur
so-and-So. They went among their
friends, these soldiers. boasting
about Monsieur So-and-So, they
would say, who used to cook at
the Ritz-Carlton, the Savoy, the
Blackstone, or the Marlboro-and
their friends envied their excellent
fortune.
A few days ago a cook of some
other nationality came in the kitchen
OF Monsieur So-and-So to help him.
Maybe he did help in his crude. clumsy
way. But he certainty did not scam
per about with his burdens of dishes
and crockery with the same petite
ness as that of the Monsieur, with the
result that the erstwhile culinary
artist of Gay Paree grabbed a good
thick piece of pipe and laid his well
intending assistant cold in his tracks.
Friend Cookie is now reposing in the
guardhouse awaiting the pleasure OF
court-martial which will pass
upon the demerits of his case at
Fort Myer in the near future.

taken By the every day users The railways

noticeable fact in the cash wheat market at
Chicago was that several cars Of fancy grain
sold considerably over the price fixed by the

Conditions surrounding the corn market were
unusual today. There were heavy frosts in the
northwest section OF Minnesota and in other
parts where corn is grown, but instead of price,
advancing they declined NC to 1Hc.
