'JMIZ FALLACY 11-.it Prohibition prohibits is once more

' 'pi-IE article was headed "PROHIBITION IS BLAMED,"
and is as follows:
INE officers who came directiy in contact with the men
are inclined to blame the unusual amount of disorder
I * among the soldiers outside the regimental lines on the pre- U
Pfl kibition of the company canteens, by which many companies LJ
UU J in former camps have been accustomed to replenish their Isj
Bfi\ company treasuries. u
<MUA Jr < ir pIIZY say that with beer in the camp, the men were pi
' more content to remain in camp and few ever became p
intoxicated. With beer forbidden in the camp, the men
* range at large more, the spirit of mischief gets abroad, there |
z ' 2 rath civilians and when the men find liquor of
i&siMsiyL kind, knowing that they cannot get any after they get
back to camp, they proceed to take too much while they
have the chance."
/~\NCE more does this FACT become manifest—that if we I CANTEEN I
take from men the lawful right to indulge in what they
consider their unquestioned privilege, then they will go to
- ; extremes to exercise that right, in spite of laws and regula- *1
tions to the contrary. j, 11

there was an "'unusual amount of disorder among the cd jf ''J wßm |TC■& • \ ( jj

stimulants were not forbidden among the soldiers, ''few ever l;!H fifE

What We Know And
Do Not Know About
Infantile Paralysis
By SAMUEL G. DIXON, M. D.
Commissioner of Health
Q —□
W ITH the history of the world's workers on Poliomyelitis and
the results of our own work before us we have to acknowl
edge that THE GERM OF THIS DISEASE HAS NOT BEEN
FOUND, and further, that we do not know how the disease is com
municated from one person to another.
There is no medicine or specific that will prevent it or cure it.
DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD! Avoid patent medicines—they do
harm. Call in your family physician if you get sick; he will not
tell you he has a remedy that is a sure cure, and any one who does,
lies. Long attentive treatment under a good doctor of medicine
and helped if possible by a good nurse, will in many cases bring the
child back to health.
There is not as much paralysis as commonly believed. The re
ports of the outbreak in New York seem to establish this. On the
13th of July New York reported 1,600 cases of Poliomyelitis, but
only 403 of paralysis. Until we know more about that which pro
duces the disease and how it is communicated from one person to
another we, with our present knowledge, STRENUOUSLY RECOM
MEND the following precautions:
All excepting the doctor and the one nursing the person sick
of the disease must keep out of the room set aside for the patient.
If possible keep children out of the neighborhood in which the
disease prevails.
Keep all insects out of houses, particularly flies. GUARD FOOD
STUFFS FROM FLIES. Flies may Garry the disease.
Feed children on cooked food as much as possible.
See that the outside of bread or biscuits is kept clean and away
from flies. Wagons, trucks, etc., carrying bread should not be kept
in horse stables.
Screen your houses and baby coaches or cribs or beds when
the house is not fully screened.
The Department has literature on this subject which you can
get upon written request.
THIS DEPARTMENT IS IN CONSTANT WARFARE TO
PROTECT OUR PEOPLE FROM DISEASE. TO ACCOMPLISH
THE BEST RESULTS WE MUST NOT ONLY HAVE THE CON
FIDENCE OF OUR PEOPLE BUT INDIVIDUAL AND PUBLIC
CO-OPERATION.
