The questions what is the serum
treatment for poliomyelitis? how effec-
tive is it? when should it be admins
tered? are answered BRIEFLY in today's
bulletin from the Minnesota Medical
Association.
No contagious disease of children is
so feared and dreaded as this, one
generally known as infantile paralysis.
The fact that there is a treatment
which offers great hope of preventing
the development of the paralysis that
often follows, is cited as one of the
glories of modern medical science.
There are still difficulties in the way
involved chiefly in securing the serum
used and administering itat the pre-
else moment when it will be effective.
But the fact that, properly used, it has
shown excellent results is sign, in
the opinion of the medical association
experts that the first and most diff
cult step has already been achieved in
the eventual conquest of the disease.
A time may come when poliomyelitis
will be as completely subdued, medi-
cally, as diptheria now is. In the
meantime it has been discovered and
well authenticated that the use OF a
blood serum from a patient who has
recovered from the disease, intra-
muscularly will limit its course and If
administered soon enough will usually

HOW TO KEEP WELL

prevent the subsequent destruction OF
nerve cells that means paralysis.
The successful use of this serum de-
ponds upon an early diagnosis in the
pre-paralytic stage which only the
docto, can do. Any illness with fever,
a slight stiffness of the neck, headache
and gastro-intestinal disturbances
should be reported to the doctor i'm
mediately, particularly in summer when
poliomyelitis is prevalent. The dis
ease presents a fairly typical picture
by which the doctor can tell what to
expect.
The fact that there are many cases
of polio" that do not develop the
typical paralysis and therefore are
neither diagnosed nor isolated makes
control of the disease difficult.
For all parents the things to re-
member are:
Protect your children by cleanliness
and care from infections of all sorts.
Keep them away from anyone who is
sick.
Call the doctor Immediately if they
are sick themselves. Probably it won't
be poliomyelitis. But If it is, the
doctor will know and he will be able
to administer this serum treatment at
the time when it will be the most
effective in preventing the dread par
alysis of the disease.

WILD LIFE CAFETERIAS
ADVOCATED BY AVERY.

Everything from airplanes to rural
mail carriers will contribute services
in establishing "cafeterias" for feeding
wild life this winter, according to re-
ports to the American Game Protec-
tive Association. The drought has
so much food and cover that wild life
faces conditions that might extermin-
ate it this winter if man does not come
to it's rescue, says Carlos Avery, presi-
dent of the association.
Because of these conditions" Mr..
Avery declared" everyone should con-
tribute his or her help to feeding wild
life; for it will face a severe crisis this
winter. We had better begin preparing
now to meet the emergency.
Perhaps the first and wisest step
is to get instructions regarding what
should be done in each locality from

POISON BATS RID
HOUSES OF ANTS.

Ants are pests from which ap-
parently no pantry or kitchen is en-
tirely immune. EntomologistS say OF
these little insects that they trouble
some housekeepers some of the time.
Prof. A. G.. Ruggles, University Farm,
suggests several plans which will give
relief
First is a method said to have been
used in the White House with great
success Make a poison bait using one
pint of water, a pound of sugar, q
grains of thallium sulphate, and three
ounces of honey. These ingredients
should be stirred together and brought
to a boil. The vapor from the thai
lium sulphate is poisonous, so care
must be taken while heating not to
breathe the fumes. This bait may be
used conveniently in pill box ant traps
To make one of these traps cut small
square from each side of the inner
f1ange of the pill box, place the cover
on, but do not press it down.. The
ants enter through the holes in the
flange. Several of these traps may be
used to advantage or the bait may be
used on bits of sponge or small shallow
dishes, two or three to a room.
Another good bait may be made
from one-half cup of sugar, Level
teaspoonful of arSenate of soda and
one pint of water. A teaSpoonful OF
honey will improve this formula. Dis
solve the sugar in the water, add the
arsenate of soda and boil until all is
dissolved.
busting powdered sodium fluoride in
their haunts, around pantry shelves
will keep the insects away. Another
simple method for destroying them is
to soak small sponges or cloths in
sweetened water, let them become
covered with ants and then plunge
them into boiling water.
