HURRY CALL FOR
AUTOS QUICKLY
RESPONDED To
TO CARRY DRAFTEES OVER THE
PARADE ROUTE YES
TERDAY.
Patriotic Citizens Donated Their Ma
chimes for Use Of Oraftees to Save
Them From Possible Illness.

Because there was considerable con-
fusion In the rear Of the y. NJ. C. A.,
gymnasium al the turkey dinner given
to the drGftees yesterday. Chairman
Judge B. :. Honccker asked that the
hall be cleared and this forced large
crowd to congregate in the lobby Of the
building who were anXiously waiting
for their friends and relatives to come
down stairs. so that they could give
them a last gool bye.
Several gentlemen were talking TO-
gethcr when the question of the horri-
BILE CONDITION Of the streets arose and
the probability OF the boys walking
over the line OF march. getting wet
feet, boarding cold train--for they
were bound 10 keep the windows open
and catching severe colds naturally
arose and the suggestion was made
that the boys should not be forced to
make the trip over tho route afoot. AS
a matter of course. automobiles were
mentioned. but then il was said that
the boys would have 70 start In ten
minutes and there was not sufficient
time in which TO get enough cars to
carry them, providing that the cars
could be secured.
A representative Of the Intelllgencer
stated that he thought the cars could
be secured without difficulty within
the ten minute limit and volunteered
to undertake the job. Everyone was
willing that he should.
Rev. W. II. Fields. pastor OF the
First Christian church, was asked to
make brief talk to the hundreds who
were gathered in thr "Y'' lobby and
ask all those who we're willing to do
nate their cars for this purpose to step
forward and state how many Of the
brave soldiers they could accommodate.
! There was an instant response from
! the patriotic group and In less than
three minutes the following were reg
| istered:
| J. W. Kemple, y. Somehow. Earle
Rogers. Andrew Schwinsky. Arch Dor
| sey, L. X. Henson, ". S. Miller. Rob
ert Morris. d. A. Jacovetty. John
Seiko. Ell ElJocvoutcl, Robert Camp
bell H. P, Loe.
II was found that these cars would
: accommodate but fifty-four OF the boys
and as there were 151 Of them. more
cars were needed and needed quickly.
The trusty telephone was called into
use and soon there were cars in plenty
speeding to the "Y." and when the
boys were finally taken care Of It was
necessary to send some OF the autos
away empty, 30 patriotic and prompt
was tho response Of the citizens who
were reached. I
Burns and Church sent innumerable
machines to the rescue and their as
sistance was especially helpful and
more than appreciated by the draftees
who requested the 1ntelllgencer TO e1-
tend their thanks. Others who re-
sponded were c. A. Robinson, Dr. VII
liam Cracraft, s. Salvador and others.
and to all these. on The way to Mounds
Vile where the writer left the train,
the men asked that an expression OF
their appreciation be publicly made.

FINDS CURE FOR PARALYSIS.

One of the most wonderful of al
medical discoveries was joyfully an
nounced last week at the Cook County
hospital, Chicago The cure for infan.
tile paralysis, the scourge that has
killed and manned thousands of chill
dren. is given to the world by DR.. John
| w. Nuzum of GAINESVILLE, Wis, the hos
pitfalls resident pathologist. Having
practised medicine only three years,
this young, slight, retiring physician
has given the world what it has prayed
for since the terrors of infantile paraI-
ysis We're first known.
r. T. Crane, Jr., offered $25, 600 last
August to the man who would first find
a cure for the plague. In all probable
ity the reward will 60 TO DIR. Nuzum.
He hasn't thought of that He is still
working, as he has been working all
day and far into the night making more
serum and planning new discoveries.
The January 6 edition of the journal
of the American Medical association
has the story of the serum discovery,
IN technical language, but without the
smallest word to tell how marvellous a
find it is. And when that was sent to
press DR.. Nuzum had not tried the Sc
rum successfully on the two little pa
tients who are now recovering at the
county hospital, the first human beings
to undergo the new treatment, that is
to mean so much TO the world.
A few months ago three physicians
in different hospitals all discovered at
the same time the organism that is the
cause of the disease. One of them was
DR.. e. Rosenow of the Mayo Bros. in
stitute in Rochester, one was Dr. Geo.
Mather Of the Sprague Memorial hos
ptal in Chicago, and DR.. Nuzum was
the third. All three were working on
the serum but the devotion to his pur-
pose brought the reward to DIR. Nuzum
first, while the others are still working
The achievements of DR.. Nuzum are
these:
He has isolated the organism that he
and the other physicians discovered
few months ago out of the spinal canal
A thing that makes early diagnoses
possible. A case can now be deter
mined in twelve hours after the spinal
fluid is drawn.
He has made the serum that cures
the disease, which can be checked to
prevent epidemics, because of the early
diagnosis.
DR.. Nuzum is the son of Dr. Frank
Nuzum of GAINESVILLE. Wis. He was
graduated from the University of Wis
consn at Madison and then from Rush
Medical school

Luther w. Wooden, Of Livingston,
Wis, has been awarded a patent on a
sanitary cheese shelf that is constructed
entirely of metal, making it very
strong and durable. 1t is also impos-
sible for rats and mice to get at the
contents Of these shelves, thus making
them very desirable for fruit, vege-
tables and other products in the cellars
of dwelling houses, basement of store
and warehouses where rodent proof
shelf is needed Mr.. Wooden states
that the state dairy and food commits
sioner and the dairy inspector approves
of the new device as being a practical
and worthy invention.
"A farmer in the northern part of
the state has appealed to the state for
aid in fighting a colony Of beavers who

and eight feet high, empounding lake
which has inundated his farm They
have built three houses sixteen feet
long and five feet high, and while
sleeping sound like drove of fifty
hogs. A little noise drives them all in
to the water.
Cheese at the present prices is of
course not considered food, but a lux.
ury, and the domestic sales are prob
ably on par with many of the foods
classed as Injuries. If IL were not for
the immense sales for use in European
armies. cheese would not return the
present profits to the farmer and
dealers, and just as soon as the
war stops and the expectation stops
prices will gradually reach the lowel
levels.
