Wears Ina Hotel Altamont President For New Fund Plan Favors System to Back Fight Against Infantile Paraly. sis Outbreaks. Behind the change in the system of dividing proceeds of the annual observation of the birthday of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, is the definite approval of the President and of those in charge of the Warm Springs, work. This change in plans was first submitted to President by the directorate of the Warm Springs Foundation.

In other years the work was given 30 per cent of the proceeds of the balls that are held in all parts of the nation. The remainder went to local work. Very often 1 this local work was remote from that of the fight that is being made against infantile paralysis. The new Foundation will it is stated lead in the fight on the disease. In this connection President Roosevelt has issued the following statement: "This Foundation will lead, direct, and unify the fight on every phase of this sickness.

It will make every effort to ensure that every responsible research agency in this country is financed to carry on investigations into the cause of inparalysis and methods by which it may be prevented. It will endeavor to eliminate much of the needless after-effect of this disease wreckage caused by the failure to make early and accurate diagnosis of its presence. We all know that improper care during acute stage of this disease, and the use of antiquated treatment, or downright neglect of any treatment, are the cause of thousands of crippled, twisted, powerless, bodies now. Much can be done along these lines right now. The new Foundation will carry on a broad-gauged educational campaign, prepared under expert medical supervision, and this will be placed within the reach of the doctors and the hospitals of the country.

The practicing physician is in reality the front line fighter of the sickness, and id there is much existing valuable knowledge that should be disseminated to him." DEATHS. Mrs. Mary A. Naugle. Mrs.
