Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association and of Fly
 Geia, the Health Magazine

tSio, IiiC I1SdltH -hdkdZUlc
 Outbreaks of infantile paralysis in seven or eight middle west and near eastern states have served to focus attention anew on this crip- bling and dangerous disorder that usually comes to light late in the summer.
 As yet medical science has not , discovered with certainty the causa- tive organism of a specific method Of prevention that will be of ser vice on a routine basis. The dis ease Is a general infection with symptoms of paralysis due to in flammation of the spinal cord.
 When the disease begins there Is usually a rise in temperature, some disturbance of the digestion, gen cral malaise, headache, restless ness and irritability followed by drowsiness with an inclination to be quiet. The inflammation of the nervous system causes pain and ap- prehension on motion.
 For this reason there Is stiffness of the neck and the spine. Two or three days after the disease begins there comes on paralysis of the power to move the parts but not of the sense of feeling in them. This is due to the fact that only the anterior part of the spine where the motor nerves are concerned is in volved.
 The posterior part Is not affected. Hence the other name Of this dis ease, acute anterior polomyelitis, | The legs are more frequently par alyzed than are the arms but the muscles of swallowing. of sight, or of other parts of the body may fail 10 respond because of the loss of rroper nerve control.
 So far as Is known, the most effective method of preventing in fantile paralysis would be complete isolation from all contact with any patient in the acute stage or in any other stage of the disease, as well as from those convalescing or those suspected of being carriers.
 Until the cold weather sets in, when the incidence of the disease begins to lessen, children should not travel about any more than is absolutely necessary.
 There are special serums for the prevention of the disease, including particularly the blood serum Of q patient convalescing from the dis order, but there is no known spe- cific preventive treatment that can be applied practically on a large scale.
 The Ohio department Of public welfare has issued a statement ad- vising that the patient be placed completely at rest as soon as pos sible. Massage of the paralyzed muscles early in the disease has been shown to be harmful.

Menus for fife Family

Breakfast - Chilled cantaloupe. drowned hash with tomato sauce, , corn bread, honey milk. coffee. Luncheon - Scrambled eggs with mushrooms, baked sweet potatoes, peach and white grape salad, crisp toast, milk, tea.
 Dinner Ham and potatoes en
 casserole, buttered cauliflower, head lettuce with chiffonade dressing, peach bavarian cream, lemon drop cookies, milk, coffee.
 Finely chopped vegetables are
 added to a well-seasoned French dressing to make the dressing chif- fonade" for the dinner salad. This is an excellent idea to keep in mind
 for an emergency. Often half a green
 pepper, two or three radishes, one
 small onion, two stalks of celery and
 a head of lettuce seem hopeless If
 unexpected dinner guests arrive.
 But if the lettuce Is cut in quarters
 and the vegetables are crisped and
 shredded into French dressing the
 salad that was planned for two will amply serve four.
 Peach Bayarian Cream Six peaches, l tablespoon grant, lated gelatine, tablespoons cold water 1-2 cup boiling water. s. cup sugar. whites eggs, 1-2 cup whipping cream, 1-4 teaspoon al- mond extract
 Save peaches to garnish mold. Peel fruit and rub through sieve. Add sugar and boiling water to Peach pulp and heat to boiling point. Remove from fire and stir fin gelatine softened in cold water. Set bowl into a pan of ice water and let stand until beginning to set. Beat about two minutes when mixture is hot. Beat occasionally while cooling. When jelly thickens. fold in whites of GEES beaten until stiff. Add flaw
 oring and cream whipped until firm. Turn into mold and let stand
 on ice several hours to chill and be- come firm Serve with soft custard

 Now, Miss St. Clair" he said resuring his gravity of manner will you tell me how these per. sonal articles of your happened te be in MT. Benson's living room? ?" No, MT. Markham, I will not, she answered.
 Do you realize the serious con- struction your refusal places upon { the circumstances? T really hadn't given 1t much thought" Her tone was indifferent. "1t would be well if you did. II Markham advised her. Your poss- ton is not an enviable one: and the presence of your belongings in NIT. Benson's room is, by no means. the only thing that connects you directly with the crime"
 The woman raised her eyes in- cuiringly, and again the enigmatic smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
 Perhaps you have sufficient evj- dence to accuse me of the murder?"
 Markham ignored this question.
 You were we'll acquainted with MT. Benson, I believer"
 The finding of my handbag and gloves in his apartment might lead one to assume as much, mightnt it?" she parried.
 He was, in fact, much interested in you?' persisted Markham.
 She made a face. and sighed.
 Alas, yes! Too much for my peace of mind. Have l been brought here to discuss the atten- tions this gentleman paid me-"
 Again Markham ignored her query.

 You are simply wonderful" she exclaimed You seem 10 know everything. Well. I can only say that during that time I was on my way home"
 Did it take you an hour to go from Fortieth Street to Eighty first and Riverside Drive?"
 Just about, I should say.-a few minutes more or less, perhaps"
 How do you account for that?" Markham was becoming impatient.
