, "Where- aro you off to?" I queried,
fcultlflff them In nhelr trncka.
To the Public Library," they replied.
We are In deep distress; also wo have
taken a resolution, which, though It
Muse us insomnia nnd Indigestion, wo
aW Rolng td put through. Wo aro going
to ' learn tho multiplication tnblo nnd
.we're looking for a book that will tell

Then tho belated seekers after mathe
matical knowledge explained how by
their1 Ignoronco of long and short divi
sion and their tables they were actually
losing money.
"Yesterday," said one, "there was a salo

Sine cakes. I wanted five and Lou four.
"'That'll bo 9G cents,' I paid to the
clerk, like n goose.
"I thought lie smiled peculiarly, but I
didn't know at what and to we paid him
tho 96 cents, having a fearful tlmo trying
lo figure, how much wo each owed pro
portionately. Finally in despair I paid
the whole thing, and wo went home to
Walt for Tom to come home and figure

our chagrin when, after a moment's con
templation of our problem, he ragged us
with:
'"You llttlo fools, you really paid for
twelve bar of son p.'
" 'How do peoplo know offhand that
times 8 aro 72 and not 96?" Lou queried
pathetically.
L "Qo back to school nnd study their
multiplication tables,' was what Tom told
s. And that's what we're going to do.

With grim determination written on

INFANTILE PARALYSIS A DISEASE,
CURABLE AND PREVENTABLE
By WILLIAM
rrFANTILE paralysis Is preventable. It
is curable. The shrinking of the mus
cles of the legs can bo prevented.
And over against these facts we have
the following: The disease is epidemic In
some parts of the country. In these sec
tions the number of cases Is large. In
addition to recognized and reported cases
there are a large number of unreported un
recognized cases. Sporadic cases are being
reported In various parts of the country.
It is affecting grown people as well as
children. The country Is in a stato of acute
alarm.
In the last 15 years there have been
many epidemics In various part3 of the
United States. In the sections where theso
epidemics have occurred there are thou
sands of persons with withered limbs.
Why Is it that these two groups of con
tradictory statements are true?
It must be because some known means of
prevention, cure and rehablllatlon are not
being made use of. Perhaps in this season
of alarm It may be possible to change our
customary methods of meeting this disease
Infantile paralysis has been known for
76 years. Although we have known there
was such a disease, and although physicians
were able to diagnose It, virtually all of
the Information on which prevention is
based has been gathered in the last ten
7ears.
The virus of the disease Is a small body
, almost too small to see under the most
powerful microscopes. It will pass
through the finest Alters In use. It has
been grown on culture media, watched
and observed. With the culture thus arti
ficially grown the disease has been produced
In monkeys. Cultures made from thete
monkeys when grown and Injected into a
second set of monkeys have caused the
disease tq develop In them.
The virus is very resistant to hpat, cold
and drying Freezing does not kill it. It
can be dried and when again moistened be
comes virulent again. It lives very well out
side the bodies of human beings. In the
human being the virus Is found In the se
cretions of the nose and mouth': Perhaps
i xney are aiso iouna in me intestinal con-
f: ; tents as well

liter- Such persons are carriers. While
not sick, they are capable of spreading
the disease to others.
la ficnana who become slok from the
infection the virus passes from the nose
to tho spinal cord. When It reaches the
cord It Involves the membranes and es
pecially the nerve celU In the front part
of the spln.il cord. This particular area
tf tho cord, called the anterior horn, con
tsMns the curve eells which govern motion
through, the muaales.
The rule la that not all the front part

vslved but only so much of it as controls

Sometimes I am Inclined to believe that
woman's Ignorance of things numerical
is feigned; that she assumes nn Icrnor
ance when she has It not, for much tho
same reason that sho clings when tho
dominant male Is around not bcCatlso
she doesn't know how to stnnd upright
on her own feet, hut because sho thinks
he likes that sturdv oak feeling.
Personally, however, I -ouldn't want a
man to hold a gun nt my chest and sny,
"Thirteen times snven nre how much; tin
answer or your life."
If ho said 12 times 7 I'd bo safe, be
cause I have a good memory, and at the
school whore I was taught wo lenrupcl
the multiplication tables up to twelve.
Hour nftcr hour we spent sing-songing
them with a monotony thnt was as sopo
rific as a bee's humming. Hut after long
years of prncticc the things were Indeli
bly Imprinted In my mind.
Modern pedagogic methods, however,
do not, I am told, include the multiplica
tion tables. A mere memory feat is dis
counted In a system which encourages
flash spelling nnd other seemingly tricky
ways of learning; tricky, that Is, to tho
mind not ultra modern.
If wo victims of a past and now In
glorious educational system cannot pro
tect ourselves from being cheated and
from being made laughing stocks In
banks, how about our younger sisters, to
whom tho multiplication table is as
archaic us tho dodo?
Will they develop a brnln cell that
shall do nothing else but perform feats
of additions, subtractions, multiplica
tions and divisions enough to keep a
little brain cell busy dny and night or
shall we find them, at some future date,
rushing off llko my unfortunate friends
to tho public library, bent on supplement
ing their 'primary education with a stiff
course in the multiplication tables?

A cheap popularity bought with clirnp

EVANS, M. D.
In ."7 there was a two-day fever, then a
few days of health, then a return of the
fever and an onst of headache nnd general
pains; 31 had diarrhea. 66 had headache
117 of tho cases were drowsy nt the stmt;
54 hnil pains in the legs The neck was
stiff In a majority of the cases.
Doctor Itu"ell 1-nld the following symp
toms should make one suspicious of Infantile
paralysis In a time of epidemic: "Intestlnnl
disturbance of almost any nature without
definite cause, ahsocinted with ague pains
stiff neck, and drowsiness as a rule, fol
lowed by irritability and distinct tender
ness." To thefie symptom should be added
mild foer.
The aboio symptoms In ordinary tines
do not nu-un mui.li The probability Is
that they ivnuld bo trented by t!o pnrent,
who would glo a purgative and put the
patient to bed The probability in that no
doctor would be called in Many of the
cases never go any further than this Such
cases set well after a few days nnd no
paralysis follows. It Is right hard to con
vince tho parents that thehe mild cases
wem genuine cases of Infantile paralysis,
yet experience shows that it is from Junt
such mild cases that much of the disease
Is spread.
If the case gets a little worse the chnnco
Is that the family doctor will be called
In. The probability Is that tho family
doctor lias gotten his mental picture of
Infant paralysis from some seiero cases,
and, In consequence, ho tells tho family
there Is nothing to worry about, tho silli
ness Is a minor ill and will pass off in a
day or two .
On this point Doctor Russell says: ".Most
of the cases occurring during the Huffalo
epidemic in 1312 were not seen for bcveral
days by either Doctor Sharp or myself, as
the attendant phsiclan did not call for
diagnostic aid from the health department."
The cases that get well aftor a few visits
from the attending physician without bilng
diagnosed as infantile paralysis are very
apt to spread the disease.
One attack of the disease confers Immu
nity. Those who havo had the disease In
Its Aery mild form are protected against It.
That is the reason In times of epidemic one
child In a family will hae It seerely while
the brothers or sisters will appear to escape
It. The reason is that the brothers and
sisters have or haVe had a very mild at
tack, which the family diagnosed as a
cold, or a spell of indigestion, or maybe
malaria.
No serum or antitoxin for this di.ene
has been discovered. The common method
of treatment Is to give hexamethyletiamiii
Theoretically this drug should be of no
service, but some scientists have found for
maldehyde In tse spinal fluid of patients
taking It, and Its use will probably con
tinue, on the theory that it will do no harm
and It may do some good
The statements made at the beginning
were that the disease was curable and
preventable, and that the after-paralysis
could be avoided The proof that It U
eurable Is that 93 per cent, of the oases get
well Nature takes care of the need fairly
well Methods of preenting the disease
and of avoiding the after-shrinkage of the
muscles will be discussed in articles which

"What's tho matter with our Helping

Eugene Waro evidently has lived In vnln!
"C. It."
The Corner can only plead that even
editors nre not omniscient, nnd that It has
known Instances of yet ranker Ignornnce
on tho part of presumably well educated
people for instance, coiiege-nreu men,
who did not recall nt once who wrote "Tlic
Ilrlrtge of Sighs," "The Death of the
Flowers." and "How They Urought the
Oood N'ews from Ghent to Alx." There aro
readers of approved intelligence who could
not tell whnt the "good news" was and
who brought It. "Forbear to Judge, for we
are sinners nil," In this matter of memory,
nnd the author of "Tho Washerwoman's
Song" has not lived nnd written In vnln
when he has two such fnlthtul admirers

That one day put of darkness they shnll meet
And read life meanlnu In each other's eyes.

A Lady at Ccort
1 know a thing that's most n.-.coti mon;
(Knvy, bo silent, and attend!)
I know a reasonable woman,
Handsome nnd witty, yet a friend.
Xot warp'd by passion, awed by rumor;
Nor grave through pride, nor gay through
folly ;
And equal mixture of good humor
And sensible, soft, melancholy.
"Has she no faults, than (Knvy says) Sir?"
Yc3, sho has one, I must aver:
When all tho world conspires to praise her.
The woman's deaf, and docs not hear.
