In addition to testifying to tho Uni

lines. Time was when tho district nurses

ORIGINAL FOCI OF INFANTILE
PARALYSIS LIMITED IN ZONE
By WILLIAM
THIS country 13 In a near-panic over in
.'antilo paralysis. 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

Wash the Tub
Kindly let mo know your opinion about bath
ing In on enameled bathtub In hoarding houses,
1 e., where the state of health, cleanliness,
etc.. Is unknown. 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.

If they aro In tho house, 'nfostlng kitchen
nnd pantries, throw borax -Ixed with fine
sugar upon shelves nnd Ir ho sink. 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

I cannot find tho namo of tho author of.tno

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

What Is the best way to clean them. If It can be
done at home? ANXI0U8.
You cannot harm your furs with tha
treatment I suggest, Tha success of tho
experiment depends greatly upon the vigor
with which It Is done. Spread your furl
out on a tabic, dip a whisk broom In clear
alcohol and brush well. Brush until you
havo brushed tho alcohol right down Into
tho hide of tho fur. While It Is still wet
sprlnklo with fuller's earth as much as
the furs will hold. The darker tho shade
of tho earth, tho better for furs of this
kind. Now cover them up In a box and
allow to stand for two days. Put out on.
the lino nnd brush and beat all tho powder
off. Tho dirt comes with It.
Yes, rod, fox furs look very nice and feel
mighty good In chilly Maine.
Dear Msdam What sort of a summer outfit
do I need for n two weeks' stay In the country?
The people I am to visit have a machine, and
dnnco a lot. I have never visited them before
nnd don't know what to tako. I am short and
dark, with blue eyes nnd light skin. Tour ad
vice will be appreciated. F, n. S.
Whlto shirtwaists and-eklrts and a silk
sweater and sports hat for daytime woar.
A topcoat and several light voile or organdie
frocks for evening, silk or goorgetto ntter
noon frock for moro formal occasions.
Boso, coral, blue, gold, or green, In fact
nny shades except tho brown ones ought
to becomo you.
Time-Saving Masher.
Any cook will tell you what a nuisance
It Is to havo tho potatoes stick In tho
masher. It takes as much tlmo to shako
them off as It docs to maBh them. Hcnco
tho new 'double-decker" potato masher,
discovered by Popular Mechanics. It gets
tho Murphys on tho bottom of tho pan and
on the top of tho potatoes. And It saves
tlmo.
