These 'figures are given to Illustrate that infantile paralysis is not a major killing disease. 1931 was an epidemic year for infantile paralysis in Illinois in that We had 741 cases reported. 1917, 1921 and 1927 were also epidemic years. This shows the wavelike appearance of centers of infection. Infantile paralysis is caused by an virus, or, in other words, the causative agent is too small to be seen with a microscope. Prevalence of the disease usually begins to Increase noticeably In June, reaches its peak In early September, and declines rapidly wtih the onset of cold weather. It is a summer and early fall disease, and it is a disease of the north temperate zones of the world. In the tropical and subtropical regions where it is warm most of the year, there are very few cases of Infantile paralysis. The reason for this is unknown.

It Is now thought that infection with the causative agent of Infantile paralysis Is widespread, but that only a few of the Infected persons develop paralysis. The paralysis Is due to Invasion of the nervous system by the virus. This causes destruction of nerve tissue and leads to paralysis of the muscles supplied by these nerves. Thus infantile paralysis is a difficult disease to control and it is extremely difficult to determine who is spreading the contagion. Some authorities think that the August and September colds and digestive disturbances of children are due to mild attacks of infantile paralysis. If this is true, these cases do not have an Infection of their nervous system and hence do not have paralysis. But, nevertheless, these mild cases spread the contagion. Infantile paralysis Is essentially a disease of childhood, as its name imper cent of all cases plies. Sixty-fiv- e of infantile paralysis occur under five years of age, and 95 per cent under ten years. Most of the remaining 5 per cent occur between the ages of ren and twenty, but any age can be affected. The peculiar individual susceptibility of the child seems to be the determining factor in infantile paralysis. It Is seldom that two children in the same family have this disease. When several cases 'do occur in a family, they usually come down together or within a short time of each other. Indicating a common source of infection. It Is estimated that more than half the grown-u- p people of the country are Immune or resistant to infantile paralysis. So far as we know now this can only have been brought about by having had experience with the virus causing this disease. Hence, most of ns then hare fought a battle with the army of Invaders causing infantile paralysis, and we have won the fight We still know hardly anything about this baffling disease, but there is one bright spot in the picture convalescent serum. Three factors are of greatest Importance in controlling Infantile paralysis. First early diagnosis must be made If the case is to be benefited by serum treatment Second, the serum must be injected before the beginning of paralysis in order to prevent paralysis. Third, if early paralysis has developed, then extensive deformity can be prevented if treatment is carried out under the direction of an orfhbpedlc surgeon, Western Newspaper Union. O L Sav , .

Motor manufacturers have turned to new alloy metals of extra strength and durability to meet these new conditions. For full protection of such motors, you must have oil with enough extra oiliness and film strength to get safe lubrication under extreme I pressure and heat. Yet motor oils generally have no more oiliness and film strength now than they had ten years ago. Some oils have less, because to eliminate carbon and sludge has robbed them of oiliness and film strength. There is one exception Conoco Germ Processed Motor OiL It, too, is free from carbon over-refini- ng and sludge troubles, as its users know after millions of trouble-fre- e miles of driving. But more important, Almen and Timken machine tests prove it has more oilmen and 2 to 4 times the film strength of any straight mineral oil! That added oiliness and film strength protect your motor under all conditions. Germ Processing adding concentrated oily oil gives other valuessence to highly-refine- d able advantages.
