HEALTH HEAD ISSUES WARNING
AGAINST lNFANTlLE PARALYSIS

Healthy individuals who have had the
disease in recent years make the best
donors for the blood from which the
serum is prepared. A resultant per-
manent paralysis from case does
not disqualify for donorship."
Donors Are Available
Some time ago DR.. Whittemore in
stituted a campaign to make avail
able donors for infantile paralysis
convalescent serum throughout the
state. Many counties now have two
or more qualified donors available
when needed.
"Not only has this great advance
ment in the treatment of infantile
paralysis been made, but only recent
ly skin test to determine suscepti-
bility to the disease has all but been
perfected, such as the we'll known
Schick test for diphtheria, and the
Dick test for scarlet fever" DR.. Whit
temore said. with the aid of this
test when perfected we probably will
be able to determine who is suscepti-
BILE to the disease and immunize them
with small dose of convalescent Sc
rum.
"Once paralysis of muscle or
group of muscles has occurred in q
case of infantile paralysis great care
should be taken in the handling of
it. All too often too much enthusi-
asm in the way of massaging and
electrical treatments to the affected
muscles results in permanent paraly-
sis, whereas proper treatment would
have resulted otherwise. At the OIL
set of the paralysis complete rest of
the affected muscles is required un-
TIL all active clinical symptoms have
subsided. The muscles should be ed
ucated but slowly and even light
massage or forced handling be dis
pensed with as soon as they begin
to tire. The patient must be Judge
OF this treatment, If old enough.
Never move a muscle or group Of
muscles paralyzed from infantile par
alysis if pain is elected by the pa
tient. 1t is far better to conserva-
lively treat a paralyzed group of such
muscles over period of few years
and ultimately secure results than to
over-enthusiastically treat such a
case with permanent dire results"

ALASKA INTERESTS AT THE NATIONAL
 CAPITAL. WASH.
(By w. A. s.)

WASHINGTON, D. C., May A. It might be well for Federal era- ployees in Alaska to take their annual vacation when they are due, or at least not to allow them to run too long. A case illustrat- ing this point and in which the services of the Delegate were re- queSted, was taken before the De- partment of Agriculture the other day. It seems that the appointed personnel of Alaska and other in- sular stations are permitted to a-c cumulate their leave of absence for a period of three years. An assistant at the Sitka Experiment Station, in March, applied for three months accrued leave, be- ginning April 2. But he died on March 27, and the law specifically states that all payments for sal aries cease with the day of the death of the employee. As con- sequence the widow was denied the right to be compensated for the leave that was not taken.

 Barney w. Hettel was for a long time a resident, but he is now residing in Seattle. He was in Russia recently, where he mar ried a widow with four children. He returned to Seattle alone, fol- lowed later by his wife and child ren. They went from Vladivostok to Yokohama in safety and to- gether. But from this port Mrs Hettel was only permitted to de- part with two of the children, be- cause of the quota stricture. They arrived in Seattle about the middle of April and now MT. Hettel is frantically insisting that the Del egate induce the State Department to grant permission for the two absent kiddies to depart from Yokohama. But the Department cannot intercede as the matter is American Consul at Yokohama, only within the jurisdiction of the who must be guided by quota status in issuing his visa. Altho married to an American the mo- ther will not become a citizen of the United States until one wear after her entry.

FIFTY-TWO APPLICATIONS
FOR FARM LOANS FILED
Final Meeting of Local Commit
tee Held Yesterday Morning

Fifteen applications for drought re-
lief loans from the Government were
approved by the local committee yes
terday and were sent to headquarters
in Washington, D. c., for action, ac-
cording to John H. Carter, County
Agent. Today is the closing date for
securing the loans from the Federal
Government.
Fifty-two applications have been
filled out and forwarded to the Farm
ers' Seed Loan office, Washington,
from this county, Mr.. Carter stated.
Those who filed their applications
at an early date have had replies from
the loan Office and several have re-
ceived the money applied for, it was
also stated by the official.
There is no record at the County
Agents office as to who receives the
money or how much is received in the
county. When the local committee ap-
proves the application and sends it
to Washington the only way members
of the committe ascertain whether or
not the loan has been granted is from
the applicants themselves.
Messrs. Paul Friend, D. Edward Of
futt and Henry P. Miller compose the
local committee.

New Potato Regulation Of Ad-
vantage to Garrett County

Experiments with medium late po-
tatoes in Pennsylvania have shown
that the yield is reduced when seed is
grown in warm climates more than
one year. Since it is the policy of the
Maryland Seed Certifcation Board to
certify only high yielding disease-free
seed, fields of Rural Russet, Smooth
Rural, Green Mountain, Gold Coin
and other medium late varieties grown
at an elevation below 1000 feet in
Maryland will not be eligible for GER
LITIGATION unless they are grown from
certified seed produced in parts of
Maryland above 1000 feet elevation
or in Michigan, New York or other
northern states acceptable to the
Seed Certifcation Board. Garrett
county is the only portion of Mary
land above 1000 feet elevation. Ger
titled seed tags from the packages
containing the seed to be planted will
be acceptable as evidence that the
fields have been grown from such
seed.
This regulation does not apply to
early varieties such as Cobbler nor to
very late varieties, such as Jersey
Redskin and Mccormick.

ADJOINING COUNTY TO GET
PLANT FOR WASHING COAL
Contract Is Signed For One Mil
lion Tons of Coal Annually

Final agreement on cooperative
coal enterprise that will mean the ex-
penditure of approximately $35O,000,
steady employment of 1000 miners,
and sale of one million tons of coal
annually, was reached in Kingwood,
w. Va, last Friday night by repre-
sentatives of about 20 Preston county
coal companies, with F. M. Wattles,
New York, representing group of
eastern capitalists.
The agreement calls for the erection
of a central coal cleaning plant,
probably at M. and K. Junction, 20
miles west of Oakland, by the eastern
group, the participating coal COM
panies to furnish a million tons of
coal annually to this plant.
The plant will mean an investment
of approximately $25O,OOO, while the
B. and o. railroad will have to spend
about 100000 in providing yard
and siding facilities for the plant suf-
ficient to accommodate about 300
railroad cars daily. The type of
plant to be erected has not been de-
cided.
Actual construction will not begin
for two or three months. When COM
pleted the plant will be equipped to
clean, prepare and ship 5000 tons of
coal daily. Twenty-Five men will be
required to operate the plant, while
about $500 miners will be employed
in mining and shipping the one mil
lion tons of coal annually. Houck-
Reidler mine of Tunnelton, w. Va,
operated by Raymond Houck, Of Oak
land, has agreed to produce one
fourth the amount of the total ton
mage.
The central cleaning plant is a
pioneer development in northern West
Virginia, and is expected to stabilize
the coal industry in Preston county.

pond for ice skating in winter and the
planting of many trees, shrubs and
flowers.
DR.. T. E. Billiard will superintend
the restoration of the spring and the
planting of the shrubs and trees, and
many citizens have volunteered their
time and labor in making this area a
beauty spot. The Civic Club is re-
lying solely on volunteer work and all
organizations of the town have prom
Used assistance.
The banks of the Little Youghio-
gheny River, which stream runs thru
the park, will be cleaned up and rus
tic bridges will be erected at one or
two spots, it has been stated.
A tree will be planted by the Civic
Club in honor of Mr.. Laughlin, who
has cooperated to great extent in
securing the ground for the public's
use.
