PARALYSIS CURB

"a Per Cent Of Monkeys
Saved After Being Given
PoIiomyeIitis.

BY tho Associated FreSS.
A possible preventive for poliomye-
litis, q disease which causes infiam-
nation Of the spinal cord and
paralysis, may be found In common
alum.
DR.. Charles Armstrong and DR.. w.
T. Harrison, United States Public
Health Service surgeons, have found
that incubation Of the mucous mem
braues Of the noses of monkeys with
a weak solution of alum resulted in
saving the lives Of "A per cent after
they had been given poliomyelitis.
What application the finding will
have on human treatment of the
disease cannot yet be determined, they
declared, adding that they did not yet
recommend it for human beings. How
ever, the results "offer a hopeful ave-
nue. Of approach which may lead to
effective methods against poliomye-
litis and possibly against other
diseases contracted by way of the
nasal mucous membranes" they said.
"a Monkeys Treated.
These membranes are believed to
be the most common avenue for the
Introduction Of poliomyelitis into the
body, and alum previously has been
used to make mice resistant to sleep
ing sickness.
The experiment was conducted on
A monkeys, "a being treated with
alum, while 20 remained untreated.
After the alum solution had been m
jected into their noses the poliomye-
litis virus was also injected.
OF the treated monkeys, II survived
and one Of the seven which died did
not succumb because of poliomyelitis.
Only eight Of them developed fever.
In the untreated group only three
survived, and they showed no fever
reaction to the virus. Sixteen of the
untreated animals died Of the disease.
Disease Slower.
"In addition to their higher sur
vival rate, the alum prepared animals
which developed poliomyelitis tended
to develop the disease later and the
ailment tended to run slower
course" the surgeons declared.
Exact action Of the alum Ia re-
sisting poliomyelitis Is not definitely
known, they added, but indications
are that it makes the mucous mem
branes less penetrable by the virus.
No antieptic action by the alum is
believed responsible.
To test the feeling Of the alum, DR..
Armstrong and DR.. Harris sprayed
their own noses with q / per cent
solution and found that it caused only
a temporary tickling and singing
sensation, followed by occasional
1eezing.

RANGE CATTLE
BRING GOOD PRICE
CHARLES O. ROBINSON co. SELLS
1900 HEAD OF CHOICE CAT
TIE AT CHICAGO

The Charles o. Robinson & Com
pany, livestock commission firm at
Chicago recently had about 1000
northwestern range cattle, quality
was very good as far as stOckers,
feeders and calves were concerned.
The run was composed mostly of stock
steers and cows, according to Charles
o. Robinson. president of the firm.
In commenting upon the range ar
ket, he said:
I'VE had one of the best markets that
we have had this season, country buy
ers were here in full force, being slim.
ulated by the fact that we have the
biggest growing crop of cor and hay
that we have had in years. All grades
of stockers and feeders and calves sold
Is cents a hundred higher than a week
ago, not enough coming to supply the
trade. Our choice yearlings and two
year-old feeders, dehorned, are selling
from $3.50 to $9.75, while Duh medium
kinds are selling from $3.50 to 1925.
"We never saw as few fat range cat
tie coming as we have been receiving
in the past two years. There was n
choice steer sold here at $40. If there
had been a load of them they would
have brought considerably more. We
look for these fat rangers to sell we'll all
season.
Our range COWS and heifers are SELL
ing rs cents to so cents higher than the
close of last week, and a very good de-
mand.
BEST range lambs sold at $10.40, feed
ing lambs sold from 5000 to $9.25.
I'VE would advise you to let your cat
tie come straight through to Chicago,
as they will net you more money here
than the will at the river markets, as
we have more buyers here for rangers
than they have on the other markets.
1--WE would advise you to arrive here
OF Sunday morning, so that we can
sort your cattle up and have them
ready for Mondays market, and they
will have a good rest and take a good
fill.
do not hesitate to write or wire us
for market information, as we are on
the job every day looking after your
interest"

CHINOOK BEET
PLANT IS OPEN
SUGAR FACTORY STARTS ANNUAL
RUN; RECORD YIELD is EN-
PECTED IN DISTRICT

The Chinook sugar factory started
its run recently IN what is expected
to be the largest crop of beets ever
grown in the district. The harvest
started a few days ago, and deliveries
of beets at the factory and at railroad
loading points were sufficient to
build up a good sized stock pile be-
fore the factory run started.
The harvest is favored with good
weather and labor is plentiful. IncreaS-
ed storage facilities at the factory will
allow growers TO get the beets out SOON
er than formerly, when a large part
OF the crop was sliced on farms.
Beets are generally somewhat small
CT than last year, but a high percentage
of stand prevails in practically al fields
and that fact is expected to partly
make up for the smaller size. No fields
have been entirely harvested so it is
impossible to get accurate figures on
acre yields. Tonnage, however, from
the increased acreage planted, will no
doubt make it the largest crop ever
grown in the district.
Extensive improvements made in the
factory have increased its daily capa-
city but even with the additional out
put it is expected the run will require
about the same length of time as last
year. when slicing was finished Jan. l.
Halter Gearheart, Montana manager
for the Utah-Idaho Co., says there is
an exceptionally heavy demand for
pulp for feeding. Sept. 81 was the last
day on which contracts for pulp may
be signed at the factory and soon after
the time allotments of tonnage will be
fixed.
Supplies of hay through the valley
are lower than usual and a good price
is indicated before feeding gets well
under way. One sale of alfalfa was at
Sl2 a ton.
