the spinal cord. medulla and some
times the brain; the serious paraly sis
that 50 often remains, and the uncer.
tainty about the nature and cause of
the disease all combined to make 1t
dreadful one, and especially for fam
lilies with young children. hope It
is not unkind to give such parents the
best knowledge possible about the
manifestations of this disease and the
best advice We can give regarding pre-
vention.
With the onset there is q fever and
as a rule some digestive disturbance
such as loss Of appetite, nausea. vom.
iting or diarrhea. The patient has
much the same general nfalaise or
wretchedness as occurs In tonsilitis or
simple sore throat or various other
forms of the cri-headache, restless.
ness, irrftability or drowsiness. After
a day or two the patient shows dis1n-
clination to move or to be moved, as
any movement seems to give discom-
fort. Then there is a stiffness felt
about the neck or the upper part of
the back Of spine, and perhaps actual
pain when the neck or spine is bent.
If the Illness is infantile paralysis the
group muscles affected will become
fiacid on the third or fourth day, and
generally the patient complains Of
some pain in the affected muscles be.
fore the paralysis is noticeable.
Doctors who have had the oppor.
tunity to study the disease believe
that in a considerable number of cases
no paralysis occurs, but the fever.sh
illness nevertheless confers immunity

Frost, an authority, suggests that in-
fantile paralysis. or rather acute poll
omyelitis. is probably as prevalent as
measles, but only in few cases pro-
duces definite paralysis SO that we
recognize the nature of the illness.
IT may be that many cases of simple

There are no bells in the Presidents

Executive Mansion are in an even
more unfinished state. Although the
commissioners OF the city were asked
last January by Secretary of the Navy
Stoddert to lay out a garden and
make other Improvements around the
mansion, nothing has been done, but
this, too, has been owing to lack of
funds. President Adams secretary
called the attention Of the commits
sioners to the fact that there were no
bells in the house, and was assured
that they would be installed in few
days.

HOROSCOPE
Wenesday, November 2.

Although there Is a dominant
benefic aspect tomorrow, it Is read by
astrologers as rather nlenacing IN
planetary government.
There Is a sign most promising to
industry. read as presaging for
workers employment and good wages.
Labor is subject to planetary in
fluences making for ability to demand
large compensation. Strikes here and
there are presaged.
Women should be cautious and
should postpone all important initia-
tive while this rule prevails.
If the seers are right. there will be
little chance for women to be prom
inent in the next national campaign
except as subordinates in political
work.
This is read as .unpromiSing for
theatrical ventures and may be DIS

The seers prophesy for the Winter

public amusement.

leases or contracts,is well directed and
should bring good luck.
Persons whose birth date 1t Is may
