rnvnt's of this most mysterious find dreaded malady in the
list of child diseases.
Poliomyelitis is the technical name for infant paraly
sis, which, though commonest among babies, also affects
adults. It is one of the diseases that have so far defied
the efforts of science to control, though considerable prog
ress has been made in its treatment. It was known to the
ancients, and not much more is known about it today.
The disease is spread from a discharge from the mem
branes of the nose, containing the virus, which is carried
by flies and dust. It affects the grav matter at the base
of the brain, and even if the child recover, he is usually
paralyzed for life.
All cases so far developed in other cities can be traced
back to New York. A score of cities now number victims,
and so only strict quarantine can prevent its sweeping the
country.
In .1907 infantile paralysis became epidemic in New.
York and spread to Massachusetts, where it lasted three
years. The present epidemic is reported by health offi
cials to have a high degree ol virulence as well as ol. 111
fectivity. .Experiments of injecting solutions of sweepings from
rooms where there have been cases of infantile paralysis
into healthy monkeys proves that dust carries the germs.
Experiments upon monkeys are to bo continued on an
elaborate scale in the search for the cause and cure of the
malady.
The only known method of repressing tho disease is to
isolate each case as it develops. A strict quarantine litis
been established iu New York City. Not even relatives are
permitted to visit the afflicted. Ten thousand policemen
are enforcing the quarantine. An army of inspectors,
physicians and nurses are assisting iu its control Chil
dren have been barred from movie theaters and public
places in tnc el ion, to restrain the epidemic.
As a cure, serum is injected, electricity applied and a
system of massage given.
If the Mail Tribune has done Mr. Hill, president of the
Commercial club, an injustice, it gladly apologizes. Mr.
Hill states that, while interested in a comparatively small
way in mines in the Blue Ledge district, he is hot inter
ested in a townsite, and that his investment was made
before the agitation for a railroad was begun. The Mail
Tribune's statement was made in gootl faith upon what it
presumed reliable information.

To the I'Miler:

I settled in this valley thirl.v-nine

orchard in the foothill which ban
been bearing for the last thirty-five

blight ia oontagioue when once start
ed i a wall-known fact. Tha cuue
of Uhght, I think, is a killing front,
which kills young fruit und tender
twig and which, if left alone, will
dry up u noon n the un trike
them. If, however, u heavy kmudgc
