THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1916. Public .Health r Taking Active Measures to Check Dread Disease Washington, July 7. Fearing a pos - table nation wide epidemic of infantile paralysis, the United States public health service today took active steps to aid New York health officials in. fighting the disease that has already killed more than 1(10 New York babies ia less than a month. The first step of federal authorities in the. battle against the dreaded dis ease, it was announced today, will be tk visit of Assistant Surgeon General i William Colby Bucker to New York. The' United States public health service, following a conference at noon today, 'ordered six of its experts to co-operate with New York officials to prevent spread of the disease, which today re ported in Cleveland, Chicago 'and other cities. -., Surgeon Lavindcr will have charge of "the six men. Dr. Kucker today tele graphed to doctors of the service all over the country for reports on infan jtile paralysis in their states. Monkeys are needed imemdiately for experimental work it the diseuse ii to ;be checked. Commissioner Emerson telegraphed Dr. Rucker today that 100 monkeys be longing to the Rockefeller Institute are being held in the Philippines because of a department of agriculture embargo against the importation of animals. Km erson asked that those be released. jRucker took the matter up with t'uo dc psrtmont of agriculture. One ease of infantile paralysis wns imported at Waynefiold, Kan. Groping n the dark, certain only that a germ causes the disease, the public health service is trying to save the babies of the country. The government is also fighting ignorance, of mothers and fath er. The fight has two phases beforo a baby is attacked .and during jts ill ness. , Id the first phase prevention gen eral rules of health only are necessary. 1 the second! the first step is to send lor a doctor. Dome of the rules Yor prevention were riven the United Press today by Dr. William C. Sucker, assistant Burgeon general, WOMAN HAD IIEBVOUS TROUBLE Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound Helped Her.

Proper milk preferably mother's milk. - Plenty of sleep 18 hours a day for babies less than one year old. Elimination of flies. In case of illness and especially I when infantile paralysis is present in a city a doctor ehould be called im mediately, Dr. Kucker said. Perhaps the greatest danger from the disease in the first 24. hours is when many parents are trying to cure their babies by Home treatment, ur. jiucxer suid. Diet and -rent are the principal treat ments. The disease is noticed first ry fever, pains and intestinal disorders. It may cause death in a day or it may attack a baby so slightly that beyond a ilal's illness no bud clfects will be felt. 5t sfc s( (C 5j( jt )c )(( )(( SC 3(C 5S TO HAVE PERFECT SKIN THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER These days the face needs special care and attention. Flying dust and dirt, the beating sun, are severe on any skin. Their despoiling effects are best overcome by the application of pure mcrcolized wax. This keeps skin and pores in a cleanly condition, the com plexion beautifully white and Bpotless. Discolored, freckled and roughened cuticle' are actunlly nbsorbed by it. One ounce of mercolized wax, obtain able at any drugstore, is sufficient to ! completely renovate a soiled complex : ion. It is used like cold cream, allowed ''to remain on over night, and washed off in the morning'. As the skin tends to expand in warm ' weather, causing wrinkles to form, a 'good astringent lotion should be used. Dissolve 1 oz. powdered snxolite in '1-2 pt. witch hnzol. ; Bathe the face in this during the hoot of the day or be fore going out for theatre or social affair. It is a remarkable skin tight ener and wrinkle eraser. : SOCIETY 4c By ALINE THOMPSON Mrs. George E. Waters has gone to Portland for a few finys visit.

Such problems as the caring for smoke from the great fac tories and the cleaning of streets, the beautifying of parkings and public I places and the development of "munici pal water and light systems are before the public in a greater degree than ever before. There is a new awakening the real ization that if people are to be nappy, they must live under right living con ditions. Coming to Chautauqua is a man who has made a life study of the smaller cities and their problems. He probably kuows more about now to develop the smaller cities and how to solve its many ; municipal problems than any other man in tde eountry today, mat iun is Charles Zueblin, of Boston, a speaker in constant demand and one who is noted for bis practical ideas on eivic matters. Contrary to what one would expect, Mr. Zueblin does not talk in that deep, scientifical method used by some lec turers on such subjects. He 'talks straight from the shoulder in a clear eut manner and tells in a practical way of the reforms that can be adopted by any set of people in any community Bring ing Mr. Zueblin to Chautauqua is but another one of .the big things that the Chautauqua does for the community in real service.

Mid West Golfers Can't Get to the Far West Forjhampionship Chicago, July 7. The 1917 Western Amateur championship probably will go to the far west. Golfers of the mid dle western states, including the pres ent title holder Chick Evans, cannot' make the trip to the Del Monte, Cel., course where the championship .. play will take place, because of the great distance and the amount of time need ed. Evans announced some time previous to the qualifying rounds, scheduled for July 17, that he could not defend his title because of the action of the asso ciation in choosing the far western golf course as the battle ground Only two men of championship cal ibre in the Chicago district, which has produced champions for the last sev enteen years, are among the scheduled contestants. They ahe Ned Sawyer, Weston and E. Hoover Rankard, Mid lothian. As a result of tho disadvantages in the Western Golf association cham pionship contest, most of the Chicago stars will journey to Philadelphia in August to piny for the national ama teur championship. MlBJfflHOE (Continued from Page 1.) attack, General Huig's army has been, unable to make any important gains against the German line. Forced to abandon shell wrecked first line posi tions, the Germans retired to their sec ond line north of the Homme, where they threw back time and again British infantry assaults. It is well understood here that the British will resume the offensive, per haps with greater violence than mark ed the first day of the forward move ment, but the manner in which the Ger man wall withstood the first shock has inspired the greatest confidence in Ber lin. A group of British prisoners, cap tured at the village of Herre, admitted their disappointment at the stubborn German defense. "We thought it would be a romp aft er our guns had finished their work," a captured officer was quoted as saying. "Instead. Germans popped out of all sorts of funny places and got machine guns working on lis." That the French have made some sub stantial gains south of the Somme is not denied here. But the French gains, it is stated, constitute no serious menace to the Gorman line, which is amply pre pared to repel any serious menace on the sector around Peronne. As French Tell It. Paris, July 7 The open town of Lure has been bombarded by a German air squadron and 11 women and children killed and three wounded. The war of fice announced today that the French will reserve reprisals until later. (Lure is a town of 0,000 lying west of Bel'fort and near the German lines in upper Alsace.) . A French bombarding air squadron lost night dropped 40 shells on the Ham-les-Noiues railway and junctions west of Charlesvlle. Eeturning to the French lines, French war planes escorting the bombarding squadron brought down two German planes near Mecieres and the Lessineourt woods. The night passed without infantry fighting on the Verdun front also, al though a violent bombardment occur red on the east side of the Meuse, in the regions of Thiaumout, Fleury and Chenois woods. In Le Petre wood, southeast of Ver dun, the Germans made an unsuccessful attack on French trenches. French grenadies retaliated, cleaning up a Ger man trench and taking many prison ers. The British Story. London, July 7. British troops have eaptured a thousand yarda of German trenches in severe fignting east of La Boiselle, (east of Albert), General Haig reported this afternoon. The gain ia one of the most important advances scored by the British since the first day of the allies' great offensive. Severe fighting is going on in the 1-aBoiselle sector, Haig reported. The Germans have suffered heavy losses. "iiouthwest of Thiepval a determined enemy attack was completely re pulsed," reported the British com mander in chief. The British gain east of LaBoiselle is of particular importance because it links up with the eastward advance of the French north of the Somme. The Germans had massed large forces on this sector and counter attacked des perately in efforts to fling back the British line. Hussions Press Forward Petrograd, July 7. Russian armies in southern Galicia are now within ten miles of both Stanislau and Kadvor kona and are pressing their advance westward despite increasingly - stub born Austrisu resistance. The Austrian force that evacuated Mikuliczyn, giving rue Kuasians com mand of an important railway, are now retiring southward toward the Carpathian mountains. . An official statement from the war office today announced fresh success es on several sectors of the long bat tle lront.

This brings the total the offensive began to more than 42, 000. Lose Either Way . Geneva, July 7. Dissention between Austrian and Hungarian statesmen over the disposition of t'ue Austro Hungariaa armies was reported in ad vices received here today. The Hungarians, greatly alarmed at the prospects of a Rugsiau invasion, successfully urged the withdrawal of troops front the Italian front to help check the Slavs. The Italians immedi ately advanced in the Trentino and the Austrian leadera appealed to the government to stop the transfer of troops from the ltalisa front, lest Treat and the surrounding region fall into Italian hands.
