Your HEALTH
BY DIR. NORRIS FISHBEIN

Thus far fortunately the
United States has not had a
eve epidemic of infantile
paralysis. For the week ending
July s, 1889, there were only 81
cases on record. as compared
with so for the week previously.
During the week ending July s,
there were only eight states
which had more than four cases
and only three states with more
than six cases.
Early in the season there was
slight furry in infantile
paralysis in the Csrolinas. but
for the first week in July the
South Carolina rate dropped
from 20 to 20 cases. There was
a slight increase in North Caro-
lima; namely, from three to six
cases. In California. there was a
rise from 16 to Is s
These figures, however, do not
indicate any widespread preva-
lence of the disease, because
ever In South Carolina where
the rate was highest, there were
only SIS cases for every 100, 600
people; in California. only Is
cases for every 100. 900 people.
Wyoming and Arizona had only
one 81
As everyone should now know,
infantile paralysis Is distinctly
a hot weather disease, and il is
not safe to predict that there
will not be an outbreak later in
the summer, because in many
instances the condition appears
first in epidemic form as late as
the end Of August or the first
part of September.
Unfortunately. we do not know
any definite method Of proven
ton of the disease, but we do
know that it is passed from n
person to another either direct
ly or through an intermediate
agent. and that in the presence
of an outbreak, il is best to keep
children away from crowds on
beaches, in parks. and in other
places where great collections Of
children may assemble.
Remember also that the first
signs of infantile paralysis are
like those OF any other infecti-
Gus disease. with a slight fever,
slight sore throat. headache.
nausea. vomiting. and general
aches and pains. II the child
develops symptoms Of this type,
il Is obvious that he is sick and
should be put TO bed and have
the attention Of a doctor.
The kind of treatment given
during the earliest stages may
be the determining factor in the
extent to which the child will
be incapacitated after recovery.

;: YOUR HOROSCOPE :

The stars smile on the clergy
and seem to presage unity of
action in widespread reform
movements.
Women should benefit this
evening when they will exert
their powers toward the preser-
walton of world peace. The stars
indicate much romance and hys-
terical sentimentality.
Musicians will be in extraor-
binary demand. Martial strains
will inspire patriotic projects
beneficial to the young.
Radio comes under planetary
influences believed to presage
drastic changes in broadcasting
policies and improvement in the
character of daily programs.
Discussion of government prob
lens will occupy more time than
formerly. owing to a crisis which
may arise.
This is an suspicious date for
serious introspection and cour-
ageous acknowledgment of per-
sonal shortcomings. Families
should make concessions to the
good intentions of members.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a year Of
pleasant uneventfulness. though

Gourmets Riled Over
Beef Stew
Resent SANDER OF
Satisfying Dish
How Young Is a Young
Democrat
MOT the war, not the third
~ term for President Roose-
Welt nor the national debt ex-
cites New York, but, believe it
or not, it's the combination of
vegetables best suited for a good
beef stew. Not in a long time
has a subject been so vigorously
discussed in letters to the
editor The controversy be-
came so hot that q magazine
feature writer took it up.
Beef stew became a para
mount issue in New York when
a distinguished gentleman wrote
to the New York Times COM
planning about the vicious prac-
tice of serving carrots and tur-
nips in beef stew. Carrots, he
said, were repugnant to refined
palates and as for turnips. they
were given recognition far be-
yond their merit if they were
used as COW feed. An editorial
in The New York Times made
an issue of the attack on two of
the important ingredients Of
beef stew. Then the New York
Society Of Gourmets - connois-
seurs of food came to the de-
Tense of beef stew and each n
of the components of that sa-
worry, filling and sustaining dish.
The originator of the SANDER
on carrots and turnips was ex-
cussed by the gourmets oil the
theory that his antipathy prob
ably was the result of his mother
making him eat mashed carrots
and turnips when he was a boy
and therefore he could not now
be held accountable, but the sub
ject as a whole continued to re-
ceive grave consideration.
The proponents of car
rots and turnips In beef
stew seem to have won the
battle but were forced to
the admission that the ef-
feet might be spoiled by a
careless or Indifferent cook.
Before the issue was settled,
however, some of the most
famous Of New York chefs
joined the pro-stew forces.
They revealed that stew,
beef or lamb (mulligan),
was a favorite In some of
the exclusive eating places.
Of course II masquerades
under such names as "Rag-
out de Boeuf a fEspagnole."
A favorite of the gourmets
is a stew made after a recipe
that has come down from the
days of the pilgrims. 1t includes
lean beef, onions, carrots and
turnips and potatoes. The only
variation from the practice of
the original Yankees is that 60
in by the clock instead of being
dumped in at the same time.
Those vegetables that require
longest to cook go in first and
the others are added as the
cooking process continues. With
plenty of gravy and the right
seasoning-and that's where the
cook comes in-it's a dish fit
for prince or pauper. My king
dom for a bowl right now-it's
