July, August and September are
the months when poliomyeitis or
infantile paralysis usually occurs
in Michigan. Of course, cases may
occur at any time during the year,
but when it appears in epidemic
proportions, it is during these three
months.
While it most frequently attacks
children, no age group is exempt
from the disease. The exact way
or ways by which the infection is
spread is not definitely known. For
this reason. prevention must in
clude all possible channels through
which the infective material may
gain entrance to the individual.
Recently it has been conclusively
shown that the infectious material
is thrown off through the intesti-
nal discharges of persons suffering
from the disease. This makes pos
sible spread of the infection
through anything which may be
contaminated by the intestinal dis
charges. This means entrance
through the mouth into the alimen-
tory canal.
This does not eliminate the pos
Sible entrance through the respir-
atory tract during the breathing
process. 1t has been experimentally
demonstrated that the infective
vines can be absorbed through the
mucous lining Of the upper respir-
atory passages. So that the neces-
sary precautions must be used to
prevent possible infection through
respiration.
While every precaution should
be taken to prevent the entrance of
the infection through any chan
mel, other precautions are also nee
esSary. 1t has been definitely shown
that anything which lowers the re-
siStance Of the individual makes
more possible the development of
symptoms of the disease when the
infection enters the body. There
fore, during the season when the
disease is prevalent, -exertion,
whether from work or play, should
be avoided. Contact in crowds, or
with any person who may be i'll,
or with persons not usually being
contacted should also be avoided.
Complete protection of all food
from possible contamination must
be provided and windows and doors
properly screened to prevent con-
tamination through flies or mos

Late in July of 1914 the Research
Department of Wyandotte Chemi-
Gals had determined that a pro-
posed fire retarding agent was not
effective for tank magazine use
In fact under certain conditions it
would be positively unsafe. This
decision was the result of study
in which the VICE. research chem
lists were asked to cooperate by
the office of the Chief of Ordnance.
1t was then that Wyandotte Chem
icals pooled the "know-how" of de-
velopment, research, plant research,
engineering, production, and pur-
chasing departments to produce a
"90-day wonder"-Wyandotte Am
mudamp.

Ammudamp was made October 80,

Prediction

MUCH HAS BEEN heard during
the past year about the possibility
of an increased tax rate in Wyan-
dotte. There has been loud scream
ing about increased costs of running
the city government.
In Q few days the budget ses-
sions will be ended and the
city council will set the tax rate
for the coming year.
II Is our prediction that when
the city fathers get through slicing
off various departmental requests
1t will not be necessary to raise the
tax rate more than II mill. The
present rate is 1914 mills. When
the tax rate is officially announced
it Is a safe bet it will be pegged at
Is mills.
There Is an outside chance &.
a slight one but still a chance that
the city council may even find ways
to prevent the rate from jumping
a very slight so cents per thousand.
This much is certain: When the
tax rate is disclosed it is going
to be very embarrassing for those
groups in the city who threatened
a big tax rate Jump unless the
charter amendment plan were
adopted.

Finally, any child showing signs
of illness should be Immediately put

the most important thing in the
treatment of the disease and in the
prevention of subsequent Gripping
conditions, is an early diagnosis
which makes possible the institu-
ton of the necessary treatment
early in the course of the disease.
Above all, If the disease does de-
velop in the community, avoid be-
coming panic stricken. This only
adds to the difficulty in controlling
the spread of the disease. Cooper
alton with your health department
and physician Is the most success
full way to combat the disease and
limit the resultant effects in those
persons who do contract it. So far
this year, few cases have developed
in Michigan or in Wayne County,
but this does not mean that every
one should not be alert to the pos
sibility that the disease may be-
come more prevalent at anytime.
In this, as in the control of all
communicable disease, Eternal

Is not an economy measure because
the River Rouge rental is $125 per
month. Lincoln Park pays $11O per
month. And the Wyandotte rental
Is only SIS per month.
