Washington.?Warning that the
infantile paralysis epidemic may appear
next summer in other States not
gravely affected now, unless drastic
measures are often to control its
course was given today to the nation
ai conierence 01 puoiic health otncers
by the special committee named to
recommend ways and means for its
suppression.
11 The committee recommended that
State health authorites be notified
by uniform health certificates of rei
moval of ali children under Hi years
of age from epidemic areas. Quarantine
of onu State or community
against another was disapproved,
The committee recommended that
I during the unusual prevalence of infantile
paralysis schools should not
i be opened without medical supervision
by a health authority. ,
Experts from 88 States conitnued
. their meeting with the federal public
health service here today, drew up a
code of regulations for combating
further spread of infantile paralysis
by interstate travel and developing
methods of cooperating in scudy of
causes and treatment of the disease.
The delegates showed that 11,700
cases have been reported in the Unit- '
ed States since January 1. One sys- tern
of regulations which the congress
was to adopt would create meth 1
ods of uniform in spection, issuances|
of health certificates, notification of I
suspected cases and general cooperation
between federal, State and railroad
authorities. Another code would

Care of what the health officers|r
termed the "wreckage" of the epi-<

ence. Treatment of all victims in the
State institutions at State expense *
was recommended by Doctors Albert, (
of Iowa; Carr, of Nebraska; Porter <
of Florida; and others. In Iowa's i
State hospital, Dr. Albert said re- <
markable results in curing children ?

Dr. R. N. Roberg. of Oregon, urged
that the public health service take
steps to curb activities of medical imposters.
He said they were gaining
a strong foothold in the west.
Quacks thrive on epidemics, said
Assistant Surgeon General Rucker,
who presided today.
"The pitiful fact of infantile paralysis
is the slow progress of treatment
of its victims." said Dr. Rucker
Parents become discouraged,
leave good physicians and go to
quacks who advertise 'we cure paralyi
sis.' They go from quack to quack |
until their resources and chances of
improving the child are gone."
A report of a conference commit
tee recommending a system of uniform
collection and dissemination \ef l
statistical information regarding par- .
alysis was adopted.
Uniform forms and records were ?
approved which will give a complete t
rceord lof every paralysis case in ev- t
ery State and county of the country.
It is proposed that these reports will i
be available both to the public health ^
service and all State officers, to compile
a complete record of the disease ?
in this country since 1910. j

WATCH FAKE CURES
FOR INFANT SICKNESS
Instructs Inspectors to Look,:

For Paralysis.
Officials of the department charged
with the enforcement of the Food i
and Drugs Act expect that the out- <

for sale so called "cures" or remedies :
for this dread malady. They, there- i
fore, have issued special instructions
to the Food and Drug inspectors to
be particularly alert for interstate
shipments of importations of medicines
the makers of which allege that
they will cure or alleviate this disease,
for which, at the present time,
no medicinal cure is known. The officials
also warn the public that any
preparation put on the market and
offered for sale as being effective for
the treatment of infantile paralysis
should be looked upon with extreme
suspicion. Inspectors, accordingly 1

suspicious and to collect samples of
ali medicines in interstate commerce
for which such claims are made.
Makers of such fraudulent remedies
will be vigorously prosecuted when-,
ever the evidence warrants action
under the Sherley Amendment to the
Food and Drugs Act. So-called
remedies for infantile paralysis
which are offered for import into the
country will be denied entry.
The Food and Drugs officials are
particularly watchful in this instance,
because it has been noted in the past
that whenever a serious epidemic '
exists unscrupulous dealers prey ;
upon the fear or ignorance of the
public by flooding the market with
worthless, hastily prepared concoctions
for which they assert curative '
properties which have no foundation 1
whatever in fact. In the present in- !
stance inspectors already have discovered
shipments of a few such '
mixtures. ' 1
The department will do everything i'
it can under Federal law to protect '
that portion of the public which is 1
extremely credulous in times of panic J
and which will grasp at anythnig
which promises protection or relief. ?
The sale of such products at this! i
time, the officials point out, is par- 1
ticularly threatening to the public ;
health because many persons, relying!'
on the false statements of imposters, j
neglect to secure competent medical 1
advice. As a result, not only is the i
safety of the patient endangered, but i
in the absence of proper sanitary s
precautions, the likelihood of conta- ,
gion is greatly increased. 1
It must be understood, however, 1
that the Federal Food and Drugs Act i
applies only to products which are i
shipped in interstate commerce, that \
is, from one State to another, or 1
which are offered for import or ex- 1
port, or which are manufactured of <
sold within a Territory or the Dis- ?
trict of Columbia. Products which are
made and consumed wholly within a i
single State are subject only to such 1

officials. The Federal law 4 does not' <
apply, for instance to patent modi- ^
cine made within the State of New j {
York and sold in New York city, i
Persons buying or using a "remedy" i
made in their own State, therefore, 1
must rely on the protection accorded |
them by their local health authori- 1
tics. :

WILL TURPENTINE
CLIMB TO 50 CTS?
Savannah Has Eye Peeled on
an Alleged Boosting
Movement.
Is the price on spirits of turpentine
to be boosted systematically to 50
cents per gallon ?
This is a question of very pertinent
interest, says The Savannah Press
and for the past two days the naavl
stores trade of Savannah has in a
very candid sense buzzed like a beehive
with speculation as to the identity
of those men or interests which
will take a conspicuouss part in the
"boosting" process.
I'jiVinuc
According to the outlook, as viewed
through the eyes of conservative factors
in the local trade, certain
wealthy "outside interests" fell that
the quotations now obtaining on spirits
of turpentine?42 3-4-43 cents?
are entirely too low, and the "interests,"
it is understood, intend to take
a hand very shortly through which
the merket quotationss will, be shovel
up to the half-dollar level, or $3.50
per barrel.

MANNING RENOMiNAT-i

Richard I. Manning of Sumter,
governor of South Carolina, yesterda\
was renominated by the Democrats
of South Carolina. Out of a
total vote of more than 133,000 reported
up to midnight last night.
Governor Manning had a majority of
4,055, which seemed sufficient to insure
his renomination. For railroad
commissioner James Cansler of Tir
zah, perennial candidate for that office,
at last fulfilled his ambition
being nominated over Albert S.
Kant of Helton by a majority of appioximately
20,000.

ORPHAN WORK DAY.
The custom has grown up of haviny
one day in the year set aside as
Oiphan Work Day.
That means that all friends of the
orphans work on that day and whatever
they make, they send to various
denominational orphanages. More
and more the custom has spread until
now it means a great deal to the
orphanages.
This year, Sept. 30 is Orphan
Work Day.
Whatever you make on that day, if
you are a Presbyterian, should be
sent to Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton,
S. C., for it is the Presbyterian
Orphanage of Georgia, Florida, and
Scuth Carolina. Many children,
fatherless and motherless, are there
from your State, and they are beinn
trained in hand, head and heart. II
it were not for Thornwell Orphanag
they would not get this training.
Will you not, then, set yourself t
work on the .'10th, and get others t<
work, and send that day's income tf
your little brothers and sisters, whe
must be cared for, and whom yoi
love to help ?
Remember the day, Sept. 80th.
Cut this out and read it to the

Send what you make to Thornwell

RESULTS OF VOTING
IN SECOND PRIMARY
Mishoe and Booth Are Elected
to the House of Representatives
MUCH INTEREST FELT
IN RACE FOR GOVERNOR
Bellamy for Treasurer, Adams
for Auditor, and Cooper
For Coroner.
There was never a more interesting
second primary held by the Democratic
party in this State than the
one which passed into history, Tuesday
of this week. Though the numv
her of candidates was smaller by a
groat deal, still it created As great Interest
as tlie first primary; and the
individual voter seemed to feel that
there was nunc at stake than ever.
Perhaps the voters and the general
public felt just as much interest in
the race for Governor between Blease
and manning as they did here in their
own county offices to be filled by the
primary. Much interest was mani!
fested and the followers of each side
, worked hard for their favorite candiI
dates.
In the race for the House of Repi
resentatives. as appears by reference
i
to the table of the unofficial count appearing
in another column, Messrs.
Mishoe and Booth went into this office
by an apparently safe majority,
j In the race for treasurer, Bellamy
i led over his opponent and the tabie
shows the result.
For Auditor, N. C. Adams the
present encumbent got a good ma.
1 jority.
While in the race for county coroner
the majority was captured by L.
W. Cooper who led in the first primary.
In the race for Gvoernor, as will
be seen by reference to the table,
Blease got about a hundred votes
more than Govrenor Manning, but
his vote was far less than what his
supporters thought he would get in
this county.
Last accounts as to the vote for
govrenor over the entire State, put
Mannnig in the lead of Blease by

votes.
In the second race for Railroad
commissioner, Cansler is evidently
elected over his opponent, Mr. Kant.
Remember that the votes printed
in the table in this issue are all unofficial.
An official tabulation may
change the figures to some extent,
but it is not believed that the results,
will be changed in any office by the
official count.
