A sensational novelty act, the Phenominal Grass, at the Gayety theatre last evening, proved to truly be a phenominal team. The feats which they perform cause the people to hold their breath in amazement, and a generou sapplause was given them during their performance. Their work is very unusual and has never been seen here before. A Rensselaer physician now has five I cases of appendicitis in Chicago hospitals, all but one of which are very bad cases, and two are still in danger. One of them, Loslje Miller, was operated on Tuesday night, having had but » 24-hour case, which was very critical, and he is not yet out of danger. It looks as if a virulent epidemic of appendicitis is going the rounds.

Health Office Suggestions On Infantile Paralysis. There seems no doubt now that this disease is spread by direct contact with one having the disease, the contagion coming from the nose or throat Therefore it seems only reasonable that to Avoid having your childfen acquire the infection the following things should be carried out: Keep the children at home and especially away from gatherings, such as moving picture shows, Sunday school and especially from gatherings in small crowds, as they do every day, to play. In other words, have your children stay on your own premises until the scare is over. Pay especial attention to the condition of the bowels ahd nose and throat. If you desire, use a douche cup cieasing in nose and a mouth wash. A medicine called “Liquor Anticepticus,” diluted 3 times with water, is good; also, peroxide is fair. Also it seems reasonable that dogs and cats can carry the disease —dogs are a nuisance inside city limits and cats are surely not good playthings. There is no <iase closer than Lafayette today and it may not attack any of our children, yet it is not unlikely at all—the infant not yet walking, having the disease in a light foim and the slight paralysis not being noticed, is the usual carrier. In case any case does show in Rensselaer a very rigid quarantine will be kept—City Health Officer of Rensselaer. , - I Adv.
