IF an absent member of the guard, with
out furlough, falls to respond to the call
he will be considered a deserter, it is
stated, and will be dealt with accordingly.

town and has not sufficient funds to re-
turn he should report to the nearest re-
cruiting office or other military station
and announce his desire to return for
duty. Officers of the Sd Infantry last
night stated such action would forestall

Of Value at the Onset.

LAS far as the present results can be in
terpreted." says DR.. Flexner. the thera-
peutic value of immune serum is largely
confined to the early period of the disease.
corresponding with its onset. The value
is much less definitely shown. though not
excluded. for the latter stages when
paralysis has already appeared and is
extending"
One Of the things brought out by the
Investigations is the wonderful power of
life the p~olionyelitis organism possesses.
DR.. FIexner reports experiments with
virus that had been preserved for six
years In a so per cent solution of the weak
disinfectant glycerol at a temperature Of
about 4 degrees centigrade.
With this preserved virus. DR.. Flex-
ner produced experimental poliomyeli-
tbs in monkeys.
! DIR. Amoss and DIR. Taylor found by ex-
perimenting on monkeys that "secre-
tons of the nose and throat are q real
and effective safeguard against infec-
ton with the virus of infantile paraly-
sis, and probably serve to diminish the
number of healthy carriers Of the virus
which might otherwise arise. as well
as to remove and destroy the last of the
virus present in the nose and throat OF
persons recovering from the disease"
