Tlio muHCloB ot tlio trunk
paralyzed. -
aro sometimes Involved, but usually
the iinrnlysls of the extremities Is
more notlcenblo. . •
Hither ouo or both legs, bot|i lOKH
and nn nrnj, both arms, or one or al|
four of the limbs, may be paralysed.
Tlio child is unable to move the por,
tioris of the body affected, and tb«
parts- feed cold; aid ; clammy. Some
times they look blue', and In time, un
less recovery takqB place, 1 the arms o'
legs 'affected shrivel up and becom.)
smaUur and shorter than th<? extrem ; '<
ties not Involved.I; In the diseased
limbs motion, eltliar voluntary or In
voluntary, Is lost, but the limbs are ^
still sensible to pain.
After a time, unless the disease h*s
proven fatal durliig the acute stage,
tlio child's gonoVnl condition begins to
Improve. Sometimes the paralysis en-
tlrely.disappears and the little one II >
restored to perfect'health. Unfortun
ately, however, the'termination Is not
usually such n happy one, and In. many
cases -permknent deformities result.
' Sometimes the paralysis porsits to
the smite degree, as In the beginning
or only partially clears up. The de
formities which sometimes occur are
the result of the workings Of the heal- ’
thy muscles being unopposed or bal
anced by the paralyzed muscles. In
this way curvature' of the spine, club
feet and similar afflictions are brought ...
about.
Caused by Germ Poisons.
The permanent paralysis and at
tendant deformities just described are- ,
the result of the destruction of the
nerve cells of the spinal cord by the
toxins thrown off by the germs caus
ing the disease. ' The extent of the pa* ,
ralysis which results depends on the
extent of the destruction of the nerve
cells of the gray matter; and the parts
paralyzed depend on what part of the
cord has' been attacked, ; .
As the disease is contagious, Its
spread is to be guarded against in •
the same manner as in the case of
other contagious diseases such as scar
let fever, measles, diphtheria and the
like. The patient should be isolated
and a physician put- In charge of the
case as'early as possible. Children
Bhould be entirely excluded from th.e u
room, and no more.'grown-ups should :.
enter it than are absolutely necessary,
for the proper care ' of the .child. A
grown-up might carry out germs in
Ills clothes or on his parson that—
would later be communicated to some
other child. The fact that fliek carry
the disease should not be forgotten. • ; ; v
The Bick room should be well screen- ■
ed. and any. flies gaining entrance into
the room should be promptly killed.

care of the sick room; write to the; rj

I who writes for It.
A mortgage is the most ingen-
I ious device to compel the pay-
1 mentof a debt- By the same
I token, it is a good investment for
. the man with money to lend. In
this talk, these are addressed
I to those who are still in the in-
I terest paying class and not yet
, among the fortunate ones what
leceive interest.
The devil ot debt seems to be .
I on the heels of a great man y
I persons nowadays on account of
the many seducive temptations
to live beyond, one’s means.
Getting into debt is putting a
| mortgage on your income, it is
| discounting tomorrow’s inde
pendence for today’s good
time.
’ Debt is a monument, to young
i man’s weakness, a grown man’s
g folly and an old man’s failure.
Debt is a quit claim to your
wife’s confidence, your children’s
ambitions and your self respect.
| “Then what are you going to
j do?” say a chorus of young fel
lows and business men and as
piring women and laborers and
1 clerks and farmers and mana-
. gers and hundreds more.
Do without.
It will take some stamina and
i courage.
u But you’ll be able to hold your
® head up—and that’s more than
you can do now if you are head
over heels in debt.
* You will escape debt if you
j will plan your expenditures more
. than you can do npw if you are
’ head over heels in debt.
