The pair of them, (he and Miss Kellermanl, according to the story, Ji-ere proclaiming In screaming the virtues of water as a cure-all for human Ills. Mr. Roosevelt didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The present Gov srnor of New York, then the head of the New York division of on? ol the argest bonding and Insurance companies In America, assistant of the U.

Roosevelt laughtrd and to forget It.

That was a misapprehension the doctors had when they first I An Atlanta newspaper man came i down to Warm Springs In the fall of 1934 seeking a political Interview with Mr. Roosevelt.

He got the In-: terview. Incidentally Mr. Roosevelt braced about the beneficial effects of the waters of Warm Springs. And tnougnt no more aooui unui in I offices at 55 Liberty fat. one day I Jje saw the sensational story about 1 himself and Annette Kellerman.

And The Cripples Came In the spring of 1935 Mr. Rcose- velt went back to Warm Springs. He was having a good time all by himself as a cripple when Mr. Loy-It-ss rushed over to him one day and cried "My God! Mr. Roosevelt, what are we going to do? The cripples are coming." "What cripples?" Inquired Mr.

Roosevelt. "I don't know," said Mr. Loyless; i "All I know is they are unloading a lot of cripples on us and the place will be tulned; they re from all over the united States; It seems they read that piece In the paper and they are coming here to get cured. I can't take them in the hotel: It would ruin us." Ten cripples In all came In that week and none of them were shipped back home. Mr.

Roosevelt persuaded Mr. Loyless to fix up a cottage for them and he busied himself to help i make them comfortable. But Warm i Springs was no medical center: there wasn't even a. doctor In the pUce. Mr.

Roosevelt himself was no doctor. But he knew what to do In the treatment of his own case and he wanted to help those eager cripples. He sent over to a neighboring town and got physician to come over and work with him. The local physician knew hardly the first word about poiy-omleletus, but being a physician he had a license to work any sort of an experiment on any sort of case. And so.

guided by Mr. Roosevelt, the physician set to work with the cripples. Sure enough they began to report Improvement and hope shone In the faces of every one of them. Back to New York and to his business went Mr. Roosevelt and the cripples stayed on.

He laid his plans befor eminent surgeons of the American Orthopedic Association. Dr. Freeburg of Cincinnati, Dr. Dlckaon, of Kivnsas city, ur. Bennett, of Johns Hoplns agreed to act as an advisory committee lor a year.

Dr. Hubhard was orthopedic sur- geon for the New York State Board of Health from 1917 until he went to Warm Springs. He had made a special studv of Infantile Paralysis, more than 2.000 cases having come under his observation. Dr. Hub-j bard brought with his Miss Helena T.

Mahoncy, a skilled physo-ther-y aplst and trainer of nurses. All this since the spilng of 1926. Twenty-three persons were treat- ed at Warm Springs In 1926, from June 1 to Nov. 1. Reports made lo the advisory specialists showed notable Improvement in every case.

Every one recommended carrying on. Judge John St. Paul, one of the of Louisiana, who Is spending several Spirits In Woods Are Visible To Genuine Lover Of Nature mis-shaped limbs. The "Polio" bug bit Franklin Roosevelt In August 1931. It must be remembered that from July 118 to the spring of 191i he was In Europe, first Inspecting the Navy and later attending to our Demobilization.

Those were strenuous months with him and he came out It with a bad case of flue. Strenuous days clean in? up the world war followed hts recovery from IMs Illness, and then In the summer of 1920 he resigned to accept the vice presidential nomination of his party. After A Mrrntfufj ranifuilxi) Not even his remote coufin Theodore Roosevelt ever conducted a more strnuous campaign than did Franklin D. Roosevelt In 1920. He covered 42 states, went twice to the Pacific Coast, spent 63 nlfcht in sleep'ng cars, traveled more mllra than any other candidate ever traveled before or since.

Out of that campaign he plunged Into neglected business. Up through the summer of 1921 he worked wlih-out taking a day's vacation. Then came a day In August when he was feeling awfully tired and yearned for the great out doors. A friend came along and urged him to sail with him on a new yacht for a cruise North. His family was spending the summer at Campobello, Me.

To CumuutM'llo went Frunklin RrwMVflt to spend Just a few days with his! family. He didn't let the family know how tired he was. Like a big boy out of school, he proceeded to play. He bullied 111 the cool, but not too cold wa'eis of a pond; ran from the pond over to the surf and took a dip In chilling waters off the Icebergs; ran two mi Us from the surf to his cottage. That night he awoke with a headache, nausea, fever.

Both legs were useless. So suddenly may "Polio" do its work. No specialists were handy. It was two weeks before the late Robert rapist of Boston came and diagnosed the case for what It was. But In the meantime Franklin D.

Roosevelt had been making a diagnosis on his own account. Common paraylsls usually affects the mind Ho knew that his mind was not affected his mind was as active and alert as ever It was.

Muscles that have ceased to function from lack of nerve direction may in such cases be coaxed and manipulated until, strangely enough, they begin to take on new life and to perform again.

But It Is a tedious process and Science need to know a lot about what forms the exercises In muscle training should take. Doctors are not agreed; tney seldom are. In the spring of 1924 Dr, of Botnn remarked to Mr. Roose' ten times more exercise than In the open air. The most helpful exerclsrs become fatiguing and hurtful when pursued too long.

It takes a lot of manioulntlon to train an atrophied muscle to work again and It must be done ovr a long period of time because the patient can stand only a few mlmites treatment at a time.

Epiuru. This "philosopher of the garden" as Kplcursus was called bought snd laid out a garden In Athens in 307 B.

C. In which he established his school of philosophy. There pupils Mocked from all parts of Greece, from Rome and from Minor to learn from him that pleasure la the chief good. When we say that pleas-I lire Is the end of life, we do not mean the jue.isure of the debauchee. but freedom of the botv from psin and the soul from anxiety" And to teach this doctrine In Its proper setting he chose a garden.

One ha only to read to find what a tremendous influence the garden has had on the life of mankind. Oilier gardens than that of Kpl-rurus will be found In ancient his torv gardens of Persia, of Kgypt, or China, the Mother of Oardms. as F. V. Wilson aaya.

The pages of Medieval history tell of the gardens of the Monks snd how within their aslls the herbs weie grown, the only source of healing at that time. Tnere the old fathers pottered swsy learning how best lo grow these plants for medicine and food and which Lerba would bent dtslpnte which distempers. There the peculiar tuber that was brought by adventurous sailors from South Antrim was found to be fit for food and not to be grown for it small clusters of white flowers; and the white potato was given to the dally menu, one story after another nf philosophy, of adventure, of romance, of accomplishment lies tucked away in almost every plant you grow. One cannot properly read the story of mankind separata snd apart from the story of gardens. Nor could the asl mslorlty ot the world today be per us tied to live where green things do grow.

Those compelled by clicumstaiu ea to live In city street would have. If dresms came true, little garden beyond the door of each apartment. For nothing equals in pleasure and contentment the "plants and fruli growing these my own little gardens" Epicurus knew. Joy In Hardens The old pendulum that through the ages manages to maintain the perfe rhythm of the universe la swinging back these days to the security snd pesre and Joy of gardens. And yours that lies around your door-step la not only material lo you but to your community snd to the world Itself.

For gardens are Important. Perhaps It is only In August and December and January that one has time to hsrk bsck to gardens of long sgo. to read of their beauty and to reflect on the part they have played with life. For August brings a paiue among the garden beds that gives the time and a sort of lary contemplative atst that fits In perfectly with gardens of long ago. And nut of this reading and this reflection are born the renins and plans for next year's blossoms.

Another thing sbout reading of these gardens of the past la the realization that never before has such wealth of plant material been available. In planting your Iris you know for a fact this year you can buy such Iris as have never bloomed before, exiept for the Itorglnator. Your dream of next spring blossoms ran Includ oh sties and tones of color, whiffs of fragrance, beauty of fsll and standard, height and majesty of stalk that gardens have not held before You know that for bulb and blooming shrub, for state-If plants and those that creep among your rocks, marsh and field, mountain-top and valley, desert and rlv- er-alde have beeu searchrd by plant lovers that havt dared death Itseff their quest. For a few cents you can buy varieties that cost months sesrchlug. vast sums of money, years of patient hybridizing.

Put some of this Into your dreaming and see how much more beautiful that dream will be. For your dream of this August Is to bloom next Spring. Htndv et enr Pencil and paper, seed catalogue and garden book. Iris listings snd pamphlets from the bulb grower should Jo.it le one another on your i desk.

And before ever a plant can be into the it must be boughi And before It Is bought a thoughtful decision should have beea made. No wonder August is the time for study. Unless your pocket book la deep snd wide one piece of advice should be taken to heart. Steer away front the newest offerings that are scare snd very expensive. Buy yarletisa that have been tried and found worthy of your type of garden.

Moss probably you are gardening for pleasure and are not attempting any very serious experimental work. enough new varieties to add rest to your Uhors and to keep up with the march of time. Rut strike that happy medium that after all Is sa.d and dour brings the greatest amount of pleasure ln its train.
