INFANTILE
PARALYSIS
Since a   few   of   our   babies
died with this disease and  others, who had it,   became   para-
. lyzed—perhaps for the  remain-
* der of their  lives—we  deem  it
not amiss to publish the following:
Warning   and   Advise   Concerning Infantile Paralysis, Given by the
State Board of
Health.
The investigations so far
conducted into the cause and
transmission of acute anterior
poliomyelitis, also called infantile paralysis and epidemic
parasysis, justify the State
Board of Health in offering- the
the following- advice for the
care of children during- the coming- summer.
Children from ten years old
down are more susceptible than
children above this age, over
three-fourths of the cases being
under ten years of ag*e. All
ag-es suffer however, even a-
dults. The most susceptible
\ ag-e is from one   to  tive   years,
the next, under one year, and
the next from six to ten years.
Altho adults are not often attacked, nearly one-half of those
adults who are attacked die.
Taking all ages and both sexes
about one-fifth die.
It would appear that the best
preventives    for   children   are:
1. To watch the diet, giving
only reasonable quantities of
wholesome nutritious food, especially avoiding anything likely to upset the stomach, poor
milk, unripe fruit or vegetables
etc., or even ripe fruit and vegetables if they have been exposed to dust.
2. To watch exercise, preventing any excessive effort or
fatigue, even at play, particularity in the sun and in hot
weather.
3. To watch the bowels; a-
voiding constipating  foods,   or
-^sluggishness of the bowels "from
4 any    cause.    Secure   by  treat
ment if need be, free evacuations daily.
4. To      watch      association
'with dust, especially   the   dust
of city streets, country roads,
barnyards, stables, etc. No
health measure relating to this
disease should be more rigidly
enforced during this summer
than the careful soaking (not
merely sprinkling) of streets,
roads, barnyards, and other o-
pen places where animals, e-
specially horses, wander.
5. To watch that children
do not play on streets, even
after the streets are well
sprinkled. Sprinkling only
wets the dust and keeps it from
wide distribution. If the germ
is in the dry dust it is probably
in the wet dust; and if the wet
dust is tracked into  the  house
? for   creeping   children   to   get
on their hands and so into their
mouths, the disease may be
conveyed to them. Flies should
be avoided as much as possible.
6. To watch the children's
playmates and to avoid even
the distant association with
other children sick with this
disease or with any thing resembling it; or with the members, including adults, of the families in which the disease exists.
7. To watch the si^k children themselves. Confine them
to their own premises; destroy
or disinfect the discharge of the
throat, nose, bladder and bowel;
prevent their association with
anyone but an attendant who
does nothing but care for them;
in case of death,   allow  a  pri-
-l       vate funefal only.
Remember REST as a preventive AND TREATMENT.
8. In event of any child
showing the symptoms, which
are usual to the beginning of an
attack of infantile paralysis
(fever, headache, pain, constipation, vomiting) remember
that while these symptoms may
mean nothing but a passing disturbance, they may be the first
stages of infantile paralysis;
call a physician at once, and
meantime keep the child quiet.
If the child seems to recover
almost wholly in two or four
days, do not remit watchfulness,
for in infantile paralysis the
initial symptoms, after lasting
two to four days, often dissa-
pear for a day or two, to be fol-

ADVERTSSSMQ
THE COUriTY
"Its Advantages and Prospects," is the little booklet
being distributed this week at
the Morrison county booth at
the (state fair grounds. The
booklet consists of 12 pages
and gives much valuable in-j
formation to the city man who
wishes to take up country life
and to the farmer of other
states who wishes to make a
change. '
The booklet clearly sets
forth the advantages to be obtained here in the matter of
lands at a cheap price but
which compare favorably with
the higher priced lands of
other and older states.
Two thousand of the books
were printed for distribution
and these will be put in the
hands of persons visiting the
fair with the idea of gaining a
more thoro knowledge of this
section of the country. While
probably no immediate results
will be noticed from this work
its ultimate results cannot
but be beneficial both to the
settler and the county.-Transcript.
Smoke Wasted.
The damage and waste
caused bv smoke in the larger
cities of the United States is
estimated to be $500,000,000
annually, and this figure, is
conservative. As a f^od beverage and refreshing tonic for
summer use, Golden (.rain
Belt Beer stands highest. Its
use will bring health, and
should grace yoiir dining room
table. Order of your nearest
dealer or be supplied by E. S.
Tanner, Little Falls.
Marriage license have been
issued to Prank Furhman and
Catherine Rohlf.
F. X. Virnig and John
Dombovy took a trip into the
country north of town Tuesday afternoon.    "Nuff Sed."
Chas. Wengler and Math.
Delort left last Friday for
their home in Chicago, after
a five weeks* visit with the
Thommes families in Agram
land Buckman. The bdys are
perfect gentlemen and made
man}' friends during their
brief visit. Any time they
wish to escape the oppressive
air of the city and have a bit
of recreation among people
who thorolv enjoy their society and friendship, they should
come to Pierz.
Saturdayday morning when
the Soo line passenger train,
which is due here at 11:27 approached the crossing near
the Agram school house, a
sheep ram, belonging to Wm,
Leiden frost, slowly and deliberately stepped onto tiie track,
faced the train, and, with a
defiant "come on" attitude
and expression, awaited its
coming.
The train was stopped, and,
after some persuation by the
train crew, the buck stepped
aside and allowed them to
pass.
Rams must have changed
their mode and point of attack; since the editor was a
boy. If memory does not fail
him, all the bucks that he
then came in vio'ent and unexpected contact with, attacked
from the rear.

HAPPILY MARRIED
BUCKMAN
IT
WHAT DSD
THEY SHOOT?
Mr. Pierce of Marshsll,
Wells and Co., of Duluth, E.
M. Luen with W. H. Ryan of
Little Falls and Frank Faust
of Pierz went chicken shooting
into the country north of Pierz
Wednesday, 4 a. m.
Mr. Hunt of Stearns Co.and
Mr. Lamoth of Minneapolis
hunted in the neighborhood of
Sullivan lake ; Mr. Foster of
Minneapolis, A. P. Stoll, C.E.
Gravel and Jake Nohner went
to the east, while F. X. Virnig and John Dombovy shot
at the chickens north west of
the village.
None had very much to sa^.
last night and they all seemed
footsore and weary, and all
wore that bland and distant
expression which always
comes  from a fruitless chase.
That there will be fewer
chickens here in a few years,
we have little doubt. The
tremendous connonadiug and
the smoke which follows will,
we fear if continued, have a
tendency to drive them into
the adjoining states.
Dr. Seguin went toSt.Cloud
this morning.
No street fair will be held
in Little Fads this year.
A. B. Macho was in Hold-
ingford Saturday. He returned on the afternoon train.

Falls, at a special meeting
held Tuesday night it was decided to pave the Broadway
bridge with creosote.
Lud Gaudet, republican
candidate for the nomination
for county auditor, was in
town this morning looking after   his political fences.
The bovs' cucumber farm
in Little Falls has proven a
success ar.d solved the question of what to do wi'h the
school bov during vacation.
Picking, which is now in progress will net each lad from
$40 to $100.
Last  Tuesdav   Miss   Jose"
phine Prellowitz of Pierz and
Nick     Kobilka   of   Buc .man
were married in the St. Mich

The groom was attended by
his brother of Philbrook and
his brother, Felix, while the
bride's sister, Miss Anna
Prellowitz. and the groom's
sister, Miss Anna Kobilka,
served in the same capacity
for the bride.
The wedding was celebrated at the brides home, three
miles south of the village, on
the Buckman road, where a
sumptuous table was spread.
The large number of guests
enjoyed themselves in sinning, cardplaying, dancing, etc.,
during the afternoon and evening. The -Journal wishes
the bride and groom, who are
among the most popular young
people in this neighborhood,
a happy and prosperous wedded life.
RS. J. J.
BOSER
AT REST
At nine o'clock'Wednesday
morning, after an acute illness
of one week, occured the death
of Mrs. J. J. Boser. Mrs.
Boser, whose maiden name
was Mary Kubitschek, was
born 32 years ago, on the old
Kubitschek farm, three miles
south of the village. She was
a member of the St. Maria
Life Insurance Association of
the state of Minnesota and was
also a member of the catholic
Christian Mothers AidSociety,
under the auspices of which
the funeral will be held from
St. Joseph's church Friday
morning at nine o'clock.
She leaves to mourn her
early departure, a three
months old infant, her husband and her aged mother,
Mrs. Ignatius Kubitschek.
We fully realize how vain
and meaningless are words
which are intended to convey
consolation to those who are
grief striken bv the death of
this pure and beloved friend,
daughter, mother and wife,
and we shall say only, that, if
death is but the door to a life
infinitely more beautiful than
this, they need have no cause
to weep. She has gone to her
just reward.
NOTICE!
Hereafter all patrons of the
Bridgeman-Russell Creamery
are requested not to bring
cream after 12 m. on Saturdays. Aug. Leiter, Mgr.

For the last ■ few weeks a
crew of men have been at work
making some much needed repairs on the village tank. This
tank has been an expensive
piece of property to our village.
George Niss the 12 years

Niss of Granite died last night

weeks.
P. A. Hartmann returned

The county jail has a new
boarder in tiie person of Chas.
Gakin of Buckman town.  Mr.
akin was arrested last
spring on the charge of incest
and released on bonds furnished by a brother. Last week
the brother wished to be released as bondsman and owing to the fact that new bonds
could not be secured at once
Sheriff Armstrong was delegated to take care of the prisoner until some disposition
can be made of the case. The
matter came up before Judge
Taylor of St.Cioud yesterday.

MUCH DAMAGE
DONE BY FIRES
For the past few weeks quite
a destructive fire has been raging in what is known as the
tamarack about two and one
half miles northwest of the village. August Otremba who
owns 240 acres of land there informs us that in places the sod
is burnt to a depth of 2 1-2 to 3
feet. One day and night the
whole neighborhood was called
out and as many as 3G men, besides a number of teams hauling water and making ditches
.with breaking plows, were engaged in trying to stem the
progress of the flames.
Singed hair and eyebrows and
scorched faces were common
among the fire fighters, and Mr.
Otremba's bands showed evidence of having been severely
blistered. The fire is now under
control.
How the fire started no one
seems to know, but it is thought
that it was set by a passing
threshing engine. The very dry
condition of all combustible
material and the difficulty experienced in controlling this
tire, should serve as a warning
to all owners of threshing machines to use every precaution
while passing marshes, haystacks, brushpiles, dry wood,
hedges etc. where lire is most
likely to start.
Last Saturday fire destroyed
six tons of hay belonging to
Mr. Christianson, living ln section five,Pulaski, 16 miles northeast of here. Geo. A. Hoffman,
who was threshing in the neighborhood was summoned to haul
water with his tank. About 50
persons were engaged in fighting the fire.

ATTENTION   VOTERS!
The support of my opponent, Mr.Chas-
Van Herke, comes principally from the
first ward in the city of Little Falls
where, I expect, a large number of votes
will be cast. Therefore, all voters who
are interested in my election to the office
of County Commissioner for this district
should not fail to turn out to vote on
Primary Election Day, Tuesday, Sept.
