:3se, and one possibility which surely
deserves attention Is ever present
nrith us in that common neighborhood
icavanger, the English sparrow.
Even the rat, which la the dreaded
and recognized carrier of bubonU
plague, has not one chance to cam
and transmit a disease, where th<
sparrow would have a hundred.
It has been proven over and ovei
again that cases will occur when
there has been no possible exposure
by human contact or carriage in any
way. It strikes apparently, out o
the blue sky, and out of the blue sky
it may Indeed be borne on the wingi
of this pest. The inexplicable appear
ance of poliomyelitis in uninfected
districts, miles from any similar ca
ses, dispense with any suspicion o
the cat and dog. However the spar
row is every, where; throughout th(
entire country, no home in rural, 01
city districts, escapes the visitation!
of this bird. It passes free as all
from contaminated homes and dls
tricts to those innocent of disease
next to our typhoid-bearing house fly
it is tho commonest of all our living
torments. Those who have made thi
sparrow a subject of bird study, cl.'in
that they exist in flocks; one flocl
making a restricted nelghborhooi
their life-time home, this may be tru<
to a large degree but the contlnua
war waged on these birds must driv<
large numbers from place to place
besides the strays which would leav<
for other reasons.
The Literary Digest, a number o
months ago, commented on inveitlga
tion In Pennsylvania, which develoi
ed that fowls. In some parts of tba
state were afflicted with bonaflde In
fantlle paralysis. While this excltei
discussion, it was not made evlden
that there had beca any attentioi
paid to the fact that birds might con
tract and carry a like disease.
Physicians are almost positively
agreed that poliomyelitis enters th<
system through the nose and throat
In other words infection comes thrt
inhalation. If this be true it bean
out this suspislon of the sparrow, foi
his body refuse is everywhere. I
must be blown about In minute par
tlcles by every wind, and Inhaled t<
a greater or leBser degree by ever;
breathing creature.
Surely from some Buch source ai
this Infantile paralysis must be dif
fused. No matter how rigid the san
Itary conditions, no matter how care
ful the diet?beyond all possible hu
man precautions this terrible affile
tion enters to'malm or destroy, am
no remote possibility should be over
looked, no smallest stone left unturn
ed in the search for the cause, trans
mission and cure of such a dreadfu
malady.

thorough housecleaning. To th

ROSE OUTLASTS WAR 1
LONDON, Out, Aug. 16?The boyi
of western Ontario were marching to
war?in thoae flrat day* when Canada
stretched her right arm acrou the aea
to help her mother country.
Home folks and visltora crowded
the city of London, ont, to btd the soV
diers goodby.
Stanley Snelllng was a private la
the Eighteenth Western Ontario bat.
talion. No one had been there to say
i good by to him. He waa thinking peri
haps it was beat that way?no heart'
acheB.no regrets.
He looked up through the dust rls;
lng from the marching teet and saw a
girl Is an automobile ahead to his left,
so close he could touch her as be
1 passed. She had s big red rose In her
- nana.
> As he came abreast she put it to her
' lips and tossed It to Private Snelllng.
Private Snellini snatched off his
" cap. He looked at the girl In the ma'
chine. She leaned out and their laces
\ were close. Then he said, "I will."
. One night at St. Elol. France, after
, a day In which apparently hell yawned
, and belched up Us torments, Private
. Snelllng lay In a conquered German
j trench, fumbled in his shirt, pulled out
, the remnant* of a red rose, faded, and
t found in it an inspiration to stick it
. through and somehow win back to
? Western Ontario.
r That happened more than ones, as
3 the Canadian troops swept onward,
r And finally, after ene of the later en
gagements at Ypres, tbey took Private
; Snelllng back to Canada, wounded.
. When they cut away the first-aid
5 bandages at the billeting station in
i Franco and started to take his belong1
ings to a locker, Snelllng rousetf him1
self and yelled out:
1 "Hold on there! I want that rose.
' It stays with me."
In New Paltz, N. Y., a girl read the
' story of the sentimental Canadian who
' had carried a red rose two years in
France until It could not be told from
f a oan 01 ussue paper.
Then there was a story from New I
' in view of the fact that the child had i
j got nothing that we investigated the
, matter In all sympathy, only to find
that no one in the office bad charge
of the machine or were responsible
for its greediness. During the same
, day and on several other occaaions,
3 the machine refused to do its duty
and a number of disappointed young*
aters left the place walling.
3 " "
f There are many beautiful moths and
t butterflies Just now in Fairmont, es.
peclally about the camps along the
j river. On one of the verandas yesterf
day after dark, with no light but that
from a small candle, we counted and
5 took note of several dozen most exqulslte
moths. We saw many we had
- never seen before, especially several
p with daintily colored gauzy wings of
> perfect workmanship. They came so
dangerously near the light, that In all
1 admiration for them, we finally blew
- it out.
"
Driving slowly along the road on
1 our way to the country, enjoying the
hills, we came almost too soon to a
i narrow road leading to an orchard,
e We stopped under the low trees. Af1
ter the noise of the engine, the still3
ness was intense. We looked around
' ?a large barn was the nearest build'
lng?one of those barns large enough
5 for an apartment building but much
5 more interesting- Inside were all
5 manner of things that used to charm
1 us in our childhood days?machinery,
' tools, boxes and crates, sacks of feed
* ?and a cobwebby loft.
' Following a path we came to the
' house?about half the size of the
barn and containing quaint rag-carpetted
rooms, a bed In the sittingroom.
The kitchen and dining room
together was very large and the lady
of the house was making butter.
' Pound after pound was measured and
" cut by machinery and wrapped In a
clean. Interesting wayWe
visited the chickens?several
r hundred of them?housed comfortably
and scientifically. She told ua that
with feed so high she should be getting
fifty or sixty cents a dozen for
her eggs. We visited the garden?
row after row of everything extended
! as far as eye could reach, all In flrst,
class condition.
We visited the hogs. The husband
of our hostess joined us at this mo!
ment and said that he found It im'
possible to get as high a price on his
, hogs as ho should or for his produce
after taking It to town and as far as
he was concerned, he had enjoyed
working by the day xnuch betfer?
farming, he said meant no tne at all
' to himself?not even Sunday. He
seemed worried over the Idea of the
' government setting the price on stuff,
feeling sure that ho could attend to
! that better himself.
We were given a very good dinner,
of great variety and returned homo
after the heat of the day with the
thought in the heart of each of us
that country life was ideal?all except
the work.
