ANXIOUS MOTHERS HOW TO
FIGHT INFANT|LE PARALY YSIS
State Health Board Begins Campaign to Combat Disease
That is Threatening Children in Many Cities; Dr..
Tenney Prepares Rules to Prevent Spread -.
". of Dread Infection. h " >

Lincoln, Neb, Sept. S.--(Special
Telegram. )-State Health Commits
sioner DR.. Elmer S. Tenney, today
began campaign of education to pre-
vent the spread of infantile paralysis.
instruction to the mothers of Me-
braska, telling just what to do to
prevent the dread disease has been
prepared.
The report of fifteen cases of in
fantile paralysis in Omaha and of
number of other cases in various
TOWNS of the state has alarmed the
state health board and every effort
is to be made to stamp out the disease
before the lives of Nebraska babies
have paid the price of delay.
DR.. Tenney gives this review of the
nature Of the disease:
Carried by Germ.
Infantile paralysis is communi-
cable disease caused by minute germ.
The disease occurs mostly in young
children, but now and then attacks
older persons.
1t is not difficult to recognize typ
ical cases of the disease. Here is
common picture: A child, previously
perfectly we'll, complains Of a little
stomach trouble or diarrhea. 1t is
feverish, restless and irritable. In the
morning ..le mother finds that the
child cannot stand or perhaps that
it cannot move its arms. .....
Parents should be on the lookout
for all cases tf illness in their chill
dren. No matter how mild, it is ad-
visable to seek a doctors advice.
Don't be misled by. patent medicine
advertisements. The country is al
ready being flooded by announce
ments of quacks who want to sell
their stuff. None of their medicines
are any good. Camphor will not do
any good. See doctor.
Healthy Children May Carry.
The germ of the disease is present
in discharges from the nose, throat
and bowels of those i'll with infantile
paralysis, ev-n in the cases that do
not go on to paralysis. 1t may also
be present in the nose and throat of
healthy children from the same
family.
Do not let your children play with
children who have just been sick or
who have or recently have had colds,
summer complaint, etc. For his
reason children from family in
which there is case of infantile
paralysis are forbidden to leave their
home. If you hear of their doing so,
report it at once to the local health
officer.
Much can be done to reduce the
amount of crippling caused by the
paralysis. Remember that this re-

Cleanliness to Combat
InfantiIe Paralgsis

These are the state health COM
missioner's instructions to moth
ers to combat infantile paralysis:
Keep your children clean. Bathe
them frequently. See that they
keep their hands clean. Be sure
each child has its own clean hand
kerchief. Keep your house un-
usually clean. Don't allow fly in
it. Keep your garbage buckets
clean, and tightly covered.
Have general housecleaning.
Throw away all useless knick-
knacks and rubbish, Use soap and
water generously, and let nature
kill the germs with sunshine and
fresh air. Keep your children away
from places where disease exists.
Don't let your children play with
groups of children. Don't let them
attend parties and festivals. Don't
take them to movies.
Give them all the fresh air you
can, but not on crowded streets or
trolley cars. If you have a garden
or farm, keep them out in the
open air.
Wash your child's mouth and
nose frequently (after each feed
ing) with boracic acid solution or
plain boiled water containing lit
tie salt.
Give your child cold boiled
water that has been kept covered
whenever he wants a drink.
Be careful of diet. Give light,
easily digested food.
Let your child have plenty of
fest. Put him to bed early in the
evening.
Keep the child's bowels in good
order. If you notice symptoms Of
fever, vomiting, or tiredness, give
a dose of castor oil. -F <rs.
Put the child to bed in a room
alone, and call :. doctor.
Keep all other children away
until your child is well.
Cover all food that Is to be
eaten. .t-

GERMANS GIVE UP
HOPE OF EARLY
PETROGRAD DRIVE
German Military Authorities
Decide that Lateness of Sea-
son FoTbids Advance On
Petrograd.
(By Associated Press.

Despite the continued retreat of
the Russians on the Riga front, indi-
cations are not wanting that the Ger
man drive in this region has reached
nearly its limits.
This view is taken by leading Ger
man military writer's, who point to
the lateness of the season as making
it improbable that Won Hindenburg
intends to push his campaign further
this fall. He will be content with
safeguarding his new acquisitions, the
bases of Riga and Duenamuende, they
intimate.
The Francos Belgian front is wit
Messing some local infantry move
rnents, but for the most part the artil-
lery and the airmen are the only
branches of the service being actively
employed by either side. ..,
Vienna claims the driving back of
the Italians in the Hermada sector,
where General Cadorna has been
pushing toward Triest. 1t is asserted
that all the ground won by him there
in the present offensive has been re-
covered and that more than 5000
prisoners have been taken by the Aus
trians up to the present.
Shell German Craft.
Petrograd, Sept. 8.-German war
craft again have been sighted in the
Gulf of Riga and have been shelled
by the Russian coast batteries, the
war office announces. Russian torpe-
do boats discovered a German sub
marine and enemy ships, apparently
trawiers, in Irbensk sound. They
were forced by the Russian batteries
to retire. .

There is war in the little county of
Garden. School district No. 90 voted
bonds for $3.50 for new school
house. The sum voted appears very
small, but the trouble it has caused
assumes much larger proportions, for
when the bonds reached the state

PROOF IS OBTAINED.
The following was issued at the
State department:
"The Department Of State has Sc
cured certain kilograms from Count
Luxburg, German charge d'affaires at
Buenos Aires, to the foreign Office at
Berlin which, I regret to say, were
dispatched from Buenos Aires by the
Swedish legation as their own off,
cial messages, addressed to the
Stockholm foreign Office.
The German Text.
Claims no knowledge.
The action created sensation, par-
ticularly among the neutral diplomats.
Baron Akerhielm, the Swedish charge,
in the absence of advices from his
government would not comment fur
ther than to say it was improbable
that the Swedish minister at Buenos
Aires knew of the contents OF the dis
patches.- Axel Robert Nordvali, of
the special Swedish economic mission,
declared he was certain that Baron
Lowen, the Swedish minister to
Argentina, had no knowledge of the
contents of the dispatches.
Moreover, am sure" said Mr..
Nordyall, that no S,wede would have
been party to such a heartless pro-
ceeding. know Baron Lowenvoy
we'll. He is not in good health and
It is possible that he was unaware OF
the sending OF any messages. II the
dispatches were in German code, as I
assume they were, even if he knew
they we're sent, he could not have
known thir COMMITS and may have
thought they we're harmless business
messages"
Will Be Recalled.
Mr.. Nordvall was of the opinion
that Baron Lowen would be recalled
by the Swedish government and said
he looked for an explanation and a
disavowal of any intention to COM
init an unneutral act.
What effect the disclosure will have
on Argentina's relations with Ger
many coulr only be guessed at both
by State department officials and by
Ambassador NaoL The ambassador
already has transmitted the messages
to his government and until instruc-
tions are received he will not com-
ment on the incident nor speculate
regarding the action that his govern
ment may take. That he was astound-
ed at the revelations was evident.
1t was suggested by some diplo-
mats that Germany might have little
difficulty in arranging its relations
with Argentina so as to cause the
South American country TO maintain
its neutral attitude. 1t was pointed
out that having entered into an agree
ment with Argentina recently not to
sink any more Argentine ships and to
pay for damage already inflicted, Ger
many was in position to explain
that 1t had not accepted the sugges-
ton of its agent in Buenos Aires and
that after all there could be no diplo-
matte conflict if he were removed.
Argentine's Way Out.
That Argentina at least will de-
mand the removal of the offending
German was assumed both at the
State department. and by diplomats,
and it was pointed out that Germany
probably would grasp at such an OPP
portunity to close an incident, which,
left to grow, might easily add one
more nation to her list of enemies.
Argentina's evident desire in past
months not to enter the war or even
to break relations with Germany has
caused the belief here that she will
look with certain favor upon any
practicable way out of the new diff
Guilty.
