GIVES SYMPTOMS
FOR PARALYSIS
State Health Bulletin Issues Warning
Regarding Spread OF Infantlle d.
sease Now Prevalent In Northern
Part Of State.

During the months Of July and Au-
gust and thus far In September of this
year, Infantile Paralysis has been epi-
demic in the states OF Oregon and
Washington with numerous deaths re-
sulting therefrom and also In cases
that survive show paralysis of some
muscles.
AS Washington, Oregon and Idaho
are closely associated, IL is only ma
tural that the disease should spread
into this state. This is borne out by
the fact that numerous cases have been
reported, mostly in the Northern part
of the state but some also in the cen
trail and Southern part. For this rea-
son II is well for the people to know
something about the disease, and es-
pecially the care Of persons afflicted
with II.
At present very little Is known OF
the c%ausative agent, but 1t is supposed
to be due TO some micro-organism
causing a general infection first, later
on localizing In the spinal cord where
II attacks the nerve roots, causing pa
ralysis of the muscles supplied by
these nerves. 1t Is a well known fac
that 1t Is transmitted from one person
to another, but the manner of trans
mission is not known.
The disease starts In the same man,

may partly clear up and in some in
stances 1t clears up entirely. Other
cases results in paralysis of one or
more groups of muscles for life. If
there is a paralysis of the respiratory
center, death results.
The following p%recaution should be
taken in all cases of children showing
symptoms of fever diseases:
First. The sick child should be
put to bed in a quiet darkened room
and a physician called to diagnose the
case. In the meantime the bowels
should be cleaned out with a mild ca
thartic, the throat gargled with a warm
salt water solution of one-half tea
spoonful of ordinary table salt to a
glass of hot water. This should be
done twice a day. All excretions from
the body should be disinfected or
burned, especially handkerchiefs.
The patient should be kept as quiet
as possible in order to protect the ner-
vous system from becoming a focus OF
the infection. If the case is diagnosed
as '~Infantile Paralysis" Rosenow's
serum, which is obtained from the
Mayo Clinic, may be used at this time
1t must be used before the paralysis
has developed and even when thus
used, too much must not be expected

No Crime to Change
 Your Mind
BY R. RAY BAKER
10. 1920. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate

l G0. 1920. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate'
 Melvin Colter was dressing for the big event of his life when the teie- phone downstairs interfered. Just why he thought some one was calling him he couldn't explain. Perhaps Il was because he feared 1t. / Sure enough, Mrs. McGtVney shrieked up the. stairs and told nm he was wanted; SD for the present ne abandoned the task of making a re- fractnry bow tie look presentable, put on his smoking Jacket. adjusting the collar around his bare neck, and went down. gripped by a feeling Of fore hOding.
 Hello. Mel" said the sweet voice of his bride-eIect. Say, NMei, | can't marry you today"
 The worst had happened. The fore bOding WAS well founded. For. two years Melvin had been trying to marry Evelyn Mover, and up to two months ago he never had succeeded in even proposing. Always something had interveneh at the psychological moment. On one occasion, when ne was pndpavOring to tell her how dis maj life would be without her, the house had caught fire and caused pOstponement of the attempt. An other time, in the woods during spring ramhle, snake had rustled in the bushes and caused Evelyn to flee while Melvin was framing sugar-cOat- ed sentences. Again, they were pad ding a canoe, which began to leak while he was preparing to unfold his hearts secret. But at last he had succeeded in unburdening himself. Evelyn had made him joyful by con- senting. and the marriage date was set
 All the time Melvin was apprehen- Sfve that the fates would interfere. The cause of this apprehension was his knowledge of Evelyn's volatile moods. She was forever changing her mind about things. She had intended going to a conservatory for a finish ing course in music. but at the last moment had given 1t up. She had trip to the Pacific coast planned. to visit an aunt in Portland, and at the StaLlO0. Wltn me IlCkel III Ter Hduu. had decided not to go. It was Evelyn's one big fault, this changeableness, and Melvin feared it would intrude on his matrimonial program.
 But the day of the ceremony dawned with a bright sky and everything looked serene. The wedding, which was to be simple with only close rela- tives and friends attending, was scheduled for high noon. and the bride and groom were to leave Jefferson City shortly after for Chicago. there to take steamer for Mackinac island. Melvin having obtained a sum- mer position as wireless operator at the new station at the famous. resort. The boat trip and the summer on the island would be the honeymoon.
 Yes. everything seemed serene at' last, until the telephone bell rang.
 But Evelyn, what's the matterT' Melvin protested. I'm all dressed"
 i've just changed my mind,'" said Evelyn sweetly. "Tt's no crime to change your mind, Is 1t? This is Fri day. and it's unlucky to start any thing on Friday" .-

nearing rather rnan seeing. MeTvIh stood at his post all day, suffering a nightmare of suspense.
 He heard the Mohawk's pleas for assistance repeated again and again, and the encouraging answers from the rescue ships; then finally came hours of silence, which suddenly was broken by word from the Iowa. ''Mohawk went down. Picking up passengers from lifeboats. Sea now caIm.'
 Througha window, as he stood at his instruments, Melvin observed that the whitecaps had vanished and the sun was shining brightly. The ferry boat from Mackinaw City was ap- preaching, making its way indoIently over the smooth surface of the straits.
 A half hour later the iowa again sent forth a message to the world.
 Hist of survivors picked up from the Mohawk" Then followed a num- Der of names and addresses. Rus Evelyn Movers name was missing from the list.
 Melvin felt faint and sank into his chair.
 To his asi0niShmpnt. he saw a girl standing in the doorway UT the radio office. She was dressed in white, and he wondered if she could be a wraith. It must be. because she looked like Evelyn.
 Hello, Mel" she said cheerfulIy. Take off those earflaps and greet me. I got here on time, even if did change my mind and come by train to Mackinaw City instead of sailing on the Mohawk. YoulI forgive me, won't you2 It's no crime to change your mind, is it?'
