R i 'I A t. 1 h i SLUM MOTHERS ARM AGAINST GERMS, M'LISS OBSERVES tWith First Word of Infantile Paralysis Plague, They Storm Dispensaries for t Knowledge A DOCTOR at one of the downtown hos pital dispensaries told mo that the t stay after news d the lnfarltlle paralysis epidemic In Now York was published In ( the Philadelphia papers his dispensary Was. crowded to tho doors with what we, in more or less fortunate circumstances, are Inclined to regard as "slum" mothers. All of them woro anxious, worried faces. Somo of them had brought their children along1 and they made a picture Worthy of an artist's brush, as, herded to gether, they watted their turn to consult the big doctor. ( In addition to testifying to tho Uni versality with which the newspapers are read, this onslaught spoke well for the popularization of education along hygtenlo and sanitary as well as other lines. Time was when tho district nurses wore rogarded as oltlctous Americans who ' meant harm rather than good and from I whose prying eyes Ignorant mothers hid their children. District doctors were ven moro to bo feared. Horrlblo things which can only live and grow In un tutored minds woro conjured up In tho Imaginations of these unlearned persons , and Imagined as happening to their youngsters. Somo of tho distressed moth ers believed tho doctors ato tho children I or cut them up for mincemeat. Modern ' hygionlo precautions wcro laughed at. i A fly death-dealing? It was to laugh. Dirt diseased? Nonsense, tho children lived In It In tho old country. Gradually, lnflnlto patience and metic ulous caro worked a miraculous change. Witness now" tho dispensaries. See ho people flock to them. If Johann or Iltey o much as pricks his flngcr, ho Is led to tho hospital so that tho nurso and doc tor may look at it and keop tho germs ' way. According to my doctor friend, tho Questions on ivory lip that morning after tho paralysis plaguo had become a matter ef common knowledgo were: Letters to the Editor of tho Woman's Page Address all communications (o M'LIm. earn of the limine Ledger. Write on one of the paper only. Dear M'Llss Yesterday I received a letter from a woman who had been a ctrlhood chum. In gathering together materlnt upon the mar rtage question 1 wrote to her nnd naked her frankly Is she would object to giving mo a little nlatory of her married life. She did so. with equal frankness, and hero 1 her letter. I thought perhaps you mlcht enre to publish It. for I feel sure It will bring a ray cf light Into some homes that are unnecessarily darkened by misunderstandings. U. V. II. 'An old-fashlond woman.) "Our life toceth an Joyously. "My husband's trn.perament was difficult to trnderstand. but we loved each other so devotedly that small differences were easily ndjusted. "My husband was moody, changeable and as complex to understand as an irtlsllo tempera 1 tnent could be jxpected to be. "We began to misunderstand each other and I theso misunderstandings grew Into quarrels that . hurt us both In our faith, love and respect for I tach other. 'T began to realize that matters would never 1 Improve, but would grow steadily worse, that 1 we would drift further apart until our loe would be finally destroyed.

A study of the dif ferent epidemics of tho disease does not Justify this public fear. The disease was first described with I Bioderato accuracy In 1840. The first re corded epidemic In the United States oc- t cnxred In Louisiana In 1841. TIio known I outbreaks between 1880 nnd 1010, accord- ins to Rosenau, were: 1880 to 1881, two I outbreaks; 1885 to 1889, seven outbreaks; , 1890 to 189S, four outbreaks; 1895 to 1899, 23 outbreaks; 1900 to 1904, nine outbreaks; 1905 to 1809, 25 outbreaks. ' In tho years 1905-1909 there were 8054 i cases, or 322 cases to an outbreak. In that , five years seven-tenths of all the cases In the world were In the United States. . Ed- wards Bays there were 2500 cases In New York In 1907 and 8000 cases In tho United States in 1910. The disease Is mora or less endemic In the United States. Every large city has a 1 tew cases each year. In the rural districts I every .State each year there are a few I cases. I There have been rather alarming epi demics In the following: parts of the United I Elates In the last 10 years: In Massachu setts, 1907 to 1912; Vermont, 1914-1915; New York cltyt Buffalo, Eau Claire and other points in1 western Wisconsin, south i rn Minnesota and northern Iowa, especial ly around Mason City; Kansas City and l Vicinity, a certain district In Texas, Los Angeles and vicinity and now the great pldemlo In New York city. I These epidemics furnish us a good deal ef Information on which to base some opln 1 Ions. The epidemics In Massachusetts were i thoroughly studied by the Massachusetts State and local boards of health, and that ' Jm Buffalo by the city health department. Infantile paralysis Is difficult to control In a given locality in which It exists as an epidemic. The reason for this Is that so many carriers and mild eases unrecognized as sources of danger by the authorities spread the disease. Whenever an epidemic exists In a local ity there Is always an Increase In the num ber of reported cases In other localities. Perhaps some of this Is due to spreading from, the eptdemlo focus, but most of It is due to the attention concentrated on the disease. In these localities Is what may be termed secondary foci. It acts wholly unlike such a. disease as yellow fever or cholera. For instance. In the old yellow fever days there would be an outbreak In New Orleans, presently there would be a case In Mobile and another In Memphis. Straightaway these Mobile and Memphis foci would de velop pases like fire in tinder. There Is scthlns like that In the epidemiology of Infantile paralysis. The rule Is that the disease seldom gpresuls much In the secondary foci. The JaUtory ie that it radiates out from the erletinal focus for a short distance. The 'secondary force In the places a few miles i from the original focus may develop a bad epidemic. Not so the places constituting sec ndary foci a few hundred miles away. Therefore, there is no ground for a country ,,Jde panic ' The health department in New York City U the. best organized municipal health de- 'sartrnent In America. That of New York iJjtate is tha, bott organized health depart- IBtnt is the country. I have faith that the Weal situation will be adequately met.

To somo of them those who havo not been hero a great length of time It sccniod uncanny, almost superstitious, that kill ing llles and boiling water could Insure them and their families health. But the orco of example is strong, and tho dis pensary doctor had long ago proved that ho had no ulterior motives In giving them this (seemingly foolish advice, further more pust experience had proved the bcrellts to bo derived from following cxpllctly his counsel. It Is unite possible that If the dis pensary doctors told them to stand on their heads, or do a too dance for somo ailment, they would to the best of their ability follow Instructions. This capitulation to sclenco and knowl edgo on tho part of tho masses Is ono of tho big victories of tho age; the result of a battle by the side of which that of Verdun or tho Sommo would look small and unhcroic In comparison.

Is one susceptible to disease from the use of a common tub and what could bo dona to render s.imo tit to use? DAILY HEADER. There Is little danger. Beforo using the tub wash It out with warm water, soap and a wash cloth. If you do that there will bo no danger. For the Traveler A preparation that Is essential to Include In the fashionable woman's traveling bag Is a good dry shampod powder. Wo all know how disagreeable It Is to have one's hair become oily and greasy, as It almost always does In hot weather. Indeed, It's the exceptionally fortunate girl who doesn't have this trouble. Tho Idea of the dry shampoo Is to give the same effect as a wet shampoo would, with less trouble. Orris root Is frequently used fur this pur pose. Most of the shampoos are built on this as a foundation, anyway. Drush the hair well with the preparation, allowing It to remain long enough to take up the moisture. It leaves the hair clean and Huffy. Use Up the Old Blanket Blankets are an expensive luxury, and should never be thrown aside until the very last vestige of their usefulness has dis appeared. Old blankets make fine dining room table pads. Cut a big circle the size of your table in one and put It under the c(oth to prevent spilled foods from marring the table. Then you can make nice crib covers for baby's bedroom with old parts of blankets. Buy enough silk or sllkollne to cover both sides of It, selecting a pretty flowered pattern In blue and white, pink and white, or greeri and white, because these colors fade less quickly than others. Use solid color for the border. Pink pr blue zephyr should be used to tuft the parts together.

Tho ants nro fond of sweets and borax Is poison ous to them, although harmless to human creatures. An clllcaclous remedy for tho nuisance Is a mlxturo of tartar emetic and syrup. Put it Into saucers or small deep places nnd set these over night In the haunts of tho Insects. They devour the syrup greedily nnd die with gratifying promptness. Empty tho saucers of syrup and corlises In tho morning, burning all. Ilcpoat the process nightly until the wretches aro exterminated. Do not put tho poisoned syrup whero children can get it. It Is a deadly mixture, but It docs tho work. To Freshen Stale Lard Kindly ndvlso mo through tho Corner If It Is possible to do something to freshen fctnlo lard bo It may be used. C. I'. I havo seen two methods tried for this purpose, both of which wero successful. In each caso tho lard was not really rancid only decidedly on the way to that bad end. Wabh and wipe and dry In tho rango small pieces of charcoal about tho size of a walnut. Tie each In tho thinnest laco or course muslin you can get. and put four to each pound of the lard as soon as this last Is melted and before It Is hot. Then bring slowly to tho boll and remove from the fire. Lcnvo the charcoal In the Itettlo for five minutes, setting the kettle In hot water to prevent cooling nnd hardening. Then, with a spoon tako out tho charcoal bags and put four In the bottom of each quart Jar In which the lard Is to be kept. As tho latter begins to form, pour upon the little bags, and when It Is cold cover with waxed paper, thon with tho top of the Jar. Tho charcoal wilt not discolor tho lard. Be careful not to break It In tying It up. Drop bits of raw potato Into tho lard as soon as It melts and cook In It for live minutes. As the lard cools, remove tho potato. Vermont Never a Slave State I notlee your remark that there were slaves In all the States save Massachusetts In 1700. IJld not Vermont enter the Union In that year, after existing as an Independent commonwealth, with a constitution containing the first clause against laery? EMIIIT C. Vermont began the work of abolition of slavery In 1777, being still a territory. It was never a slave State. This fact should have been mentioned In the article to which you refer. But. strictly speaking, It could not be numbered with the States which had abolished slavery. As a State it never had It. Vermont was admitted Into the Union March 4, 1791. It preferred to call Itself an Independent commonwealth, not a ter ritory, until then. The history of the gallant little State Is romantic, and. In some respects, unique.

Said in an Oration What pessimist said In nn oration! 'Life Is a huge mistake from first to last. Youth stumbles, maturity fights-a losing fight, old age Is a regret'? It sounds horrible, I know, but I cannot find tho namo of tho author of.tno blasphemy. P. St. V, Tho nearest approach to a satisfactory onswer to your Inquiry Is In a quotation from tho late Lord BeaconsDeld's novel, "Conlngsby," written when ho was plain Benjamin d'isracll: "Youth Is a blunder: manhood a struggloi old ngo a regret." Your pessimist orator garbles the original, and without Improving It. I agree with you In thinking the sentiment blasphemous. Tho llfo wo llvo here Is a direct gift from the Father of us nil, nnd should be valued as a dutiful child would prlzo tho gift of a wise nnd loving parent. Tako It as a whole, llfo usually gives us back what wo put Into It if not here, In "the world that sets this right." This Is not sermonizing, but plain common sense and truth.
