PREVENTION OF INFANTILE
PARALYSIS

Some suggestions for limiting the
spread of infantile paralysis, which
Philip M. Stimson, NJ. D., Of New
York, published last summer, are SO
sound and practicable that they
should be repeated as many times
as may be necessary to make them
stick in the popular mind.
/. Avoid the use of any water that
is possibly contaminated with
sewage, either for drinking
swimming or washing utensils.
8. Avoid injury to the mucoug
membranes of the nose and
throat, such as that resulting
from q tonsil operation. We
know that poliomyelitis (infan-
tile paralysis) exposures In the
early post-tonsillectomy period
are liable to result in severe.
even fatal-infections, usually
of the bulbar type.
4. Treat every minor illness as a
possible case Of polimyelitis,
particularly II there is fever,
headache and some spasm OF
the neck, spine and hamstringS
tendons of thigh muscles on
either side of hollow space be-
hind knee). We know that very
mild cases without recognizable
paralysis are much more nu-
merous than paralytic cases.
Suspected patients should be
kept quiet in bed for several
days, until passed as well by a
competent examiner.
5. Strive for proper sanitary con-
ditions and, in particular, de-
stroy files and their breeding
places.
8. Avoid unnecessary physical con-
facts with other people, wash
hands carefully before eating.
and don't put unclean objects in
the mouth. We know that many
healthy people carry the virus
in their intestines and that for
some cases, perhG.Ns most, the
port of entry of the infection is
the mouth.
7. Don't take drugs or chemicals
that are intended to protect
against the disease. AS yet We
know of none that will do this.
If omission of No 2 suggestion
calls for explanation here 1t is. DR..
Stimson says: Avoid exhaustion
from exertion or chilling. We know
that overexertion and chilling dur
ing the incubation period tend to
augment the oncoming disease"
omitted that because 1 don't believe
we know any such thing. Mind,
do not say that extreme exposure
to cold is necessarily good for child
or adult. do say there Is no EVIL
dence that ordinary everyday ex-
posture to cold or wet has anything
to do with immunity or with the.
of any child or adult
TO any known infectious disease.

In the pre-dawn half light it had
been difficult to distinguish anything
beyond the general outline of the
cars. But just then the sun edged
over the horizon and flooded the
train. Every shade was drawn.
What was it? Diplomats? Presi-
dent Wilson come to write the
peace? Or were we beginning to see
things?
Miss America 10 Them
We STOOD for a moment, wonder
ing - and then the answer came.
A shade was run up. There, framed
by the Pullman window, stood the
most welcome sight those sleepy
doughboys had ever seen: girl -
an American girl - an Army nurse,
her morning-fresh uniform accentu-.
ated by her pink cheeks and her
brown hair.
Miss Iowa to Don and Herb,
Miss Nebraska, Miss Dakota, Miss
Minnesota or Miss Kansas to
hundred Others. to each she was
Miss America - the girl waiting for
him at home. Hungry eyes feasted
on this vision for an instant. Then as
from one man a thunderous cheer
shattered the morning quiet.
She smiled at them. Then, placing
a finger to her lips, she pointed in
the direction of the boys who were
her charges.
Bloody scissors had just been
fought. We understood.
The early morning stiffness
was broken only by the chuff-
chuf of the departing Red Cross
train. We remained standing,
''eyes left"
The Captain asked again: "How's
morale. Sergeant"
Tops. SIR" came the answer. ..
From mile down the track came
the farewell of the departing train.

living is not a material, organic. or
fleshly experience, but is a process Of
true thinking and spiritual knowing. The
only enjoyment of good is the conscious
ness Of good. AS We perceive and be-
come conscious Of the good which n
other is expressing, we are enjoying that
same good, The greater u appreciation
of good, no matter who expresses it, the
more of good comes into our own ex-
perience. What thou seest, that thou
beest," wrote a classic writer, and as We
see the fullness Of good we know that it
is for everyone to appropriate and enjoy.
What is it that seems to cause Jealousy
but the belief that someone has some
form of good that is unavailable to us?
Good is everywhere, so man is in its
divine presence. All creation is in that
divine presence. Each one is divinely
equipped to see that ever-present good,
and his vision of it never interferes with
another's view of it. Any form Of good
that is available to anyone is available
to everyone. When we realize that great
fact we are not envious of brothers

one cannot walk for about three months.
Through the understanding of Gods law,
the law of good, the law of harmony.
Gods eternal law of right, he was healed,
and was able to take up his usual duties
in about three days. Mans freedom and
divine rights are at hand to enjoy and
utilize. Any failure to realize them is
due to our failure to accept and appro-
pirate them. The supreme power of the
universe is infinite, divine Mind, and
mans divine heritage is to manifest
divine Mind. When we have a clear title
to a piece of property it is known as a
freehold" Nan is a freeholder; he is a
freeman; he has a clear title to all that
is good, right, and true. If n enters
unlawfully upon the property of a free
holder, he is known as a %trespasser, and
can be properly elected. Anything evil,
any false belief, erroneous concept, or
spurious law that would attempt to re-
strict our full enjoyment of good is a
trespasser, an interuder. or interloper.
God Is Divine Principle
The understanding of God as Principle
is a source Of freedom, dominion, and
power. We think of principle as that
which is basic. foundational, causative,
reliable, and unchanging. A dictionary
definition of principle" is source Or
origin; that from which anything pro-
ceeds.' In Johns Gospel we read that
all things were made by him; and with
out him was not any thing made that
was made Then God is the n divine
Principle, basic cause, author, and maker
of all that is real, right, or true. The
activity Of Principle always brings free
dom Liberation, and concord. Ignorance
of the science of mathematics brings
discord. An understanding and appl!ca-
ton of its rules brings harmony. A
principle promotes the right and is OPP
posed to that which is wrong. Anything
u%nrighteous is u%nprincipled, lawless,
b~aseless, and unreal. Anything that
slaves or e%ngenders bondage to evil is
unprincipled, for it is contrary to Gods
plan, loving purpose, and gracious rule.
Sin is u%nprincipled because its tendency
is to bind one who INDUCES in it. Dis
ease is unprincipled, because it hampers
Montana labor news., 1944-06-08

and interferes with normal, right, and
harmonious activity. Death is unprin-
cipled, for it deprives one of his rightful
enjoyment Of abundant, divine, and un-
'fettered life. Jesus came that We might
have life, and have it more a~bundantly.
Gods creation abides in the fullness of
His love, and Of His infinite goodness we
can freely partake.
One Principle
We have a friend who was healed of
tuberculosis in its last stages, in a little
over two weeks time. Another friend was
healed of Bright's disease through. the
earnest study of the Christian Science
textbook. If these diseases had been in
accordance with Principle and divine law,
could they have been healed? Jesus
mission was not to destroy the law, but
to fulfill the law. In fulfilling that law
of God, the law of good, he destroyed
sin, disease, discord, death, and brought
freedom and liberation to suffering hui
mainly. God is the supreme power of
the universe. and man is His image and
likeness-his reflection or expression.
The mar of Gods creation reflects di-
vine power. He expresses the full do
minion of Principle. He is untrammeled
and unrestrained by disease or any other
false, adverse, limiting beliefs Of error Or
evil. There is only one principle Of any
true science-never two. In music we
do not have two principles, one that pro-
duces discord and another that produces
harmony. There is only one and that
one brings about concord and harmony,
There is only one, and that one brings
about concord and harmony; any SEEM
ing discord is at variance with its prin-
ciple and rules. There is nothing in
Gods kingdom to enthrall man or to
hinder his enjoyment of freedom and
dominion. How beautifully the hymn
expresses i'll
God made all His creatures free;
Life itself is liberty;
God ordained no other bands
Than united hearts and hands.
I So shall all our slavery cease,
All Gods children dwell in peace,
And the newborn earth record
Love, and Love alone, is Lord.
christian Science Hymnal, No. 49,
When the Science Of divine good is
understood, this glorious truth is full
] filled in our lives.
Truth Destroys Jealousy
AS we understand more and more the
facts of being, the ~allness, the oneness,
the supremacy of good, we attain our
freedom from n Of the most %enslaving

The lecturer spoke SUBSTANTIALLY d.
follows:
History records the human races ef-
fort to obtain a greater sense Of freedom
All right endeavor is impelled by a desire
to overcome that which limits or restricts
and to attain that which brings freedom
and liberation. The human race, on its
inward march, has instinctively rebelleo
against anything that would try to take
ava its religious, political, or economic
liberty. This righteous aspiration fol
freedom is not a mere human hope, but
has its basis in divine Truth. In the very
beginning of the Bible re learn that
God created the heaven and the earth
We further learn that God said, Let us
make man in our image, after our ike
ness: and let them have dominion DO
minion'' means sovereign power; then
mans freedom is a part OF the divine
order of Observation-Disclosures and God
established. In our WI immortal Declar-
alton of independence, that charter OF
American liberty, we read that God has
endowed man with inalienable rights
among which are life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness" Freedom, then, is
mans natural status, bestowed on him
by his creator.
Christ Jesus Brought Freedom
In looking back upon the lives of those
who have been the greatest benefactors
of our race, there is one who stands out
above them all-our great Master, Jesus
the Christ. He possessed and demon
started a greater measure OF freedom
than anyone who has ever lived. He
overcame and destroyed every form OF
bondage that flesh is heir to. He COM
pletely annulled the seeming letters OF
sin. poverty, h%eredity, disease, discard,
and even triumphed over death itself 1t
made no difference whether he was in
a raging storm, whether he was con-
fronted by an angry mob, seeming lack
contagious disease, or imminent death,
he experienced complete immunity ana
freedom from evil. False theology has
taught us that he was endowed with
some supernatural power which made
this possible. but the Biblical record and
secular history completely refute this
The Scriptures contain unfailing proofs
that many others besides Jesus availed
themselves of divine power and thus at
tanned their freedom from adverse con-
ditions. In Gibbons history Of the
Roman Empire it is recorded that this
spiritual power was utilized for three
hundred years after the ascension OF
Jesus. It was only after corruption and
materiality had crept into the early
Christian church that this healing power
seemed to be lost and to become dormant.
Discovery of Christian Science
Finally, in 1866, after the conclusion
Of a great struggle in America for human
rights and liberty, there came TO a
gentle New England woman, Mary Baker
Eddy. a divine revelation that won her
freedom from the results Of a serious
accident and impending death. Having
gained her own liberation, she set ABOUT
to discover the divine law that mad

There were profile maps of beaches, with tidal charts so carefully reckoned that it waS possible to locate tho exast spot Q landing craft would touch bottom At any time Of day, he said,
 The herculean mapping task was cleaned up by Army engineers, who discovered early in the war that the only available maps of north western Europe dated back to No. poloon'B day.
