wHooPING COUGH
How to Handle This Distressing and
Dangerous Ailment.

1t is strange how little is thought
Of whooping cough and how little
care is taken to prevent it, for it is
in truth dangerous disease. The
mortality statistics show that more
children die from whooping/ cough
than from measles Scarlet fever alone
among what are called the diseases
Of childhood causes greater number
Of deaths. ."#
a child with whooping cough
should be as strictly isolated if he
had scarlatina, and it is very wrong
for mother to take her infant with
this disease on boats or in carS where
it is likely to carry infection to 9TH
ers. An older child should be kept
away from school and not allowed to
play with other children, except such
as have already had the malady.
1t is usually easy to recognize
whooping cough after the disease is
fully established, for the paroxysmal
cough, going on and on and on un-
til the child's breath is all but gone,
and then succeeded by the long noisy
inspiration, is unmistakable.
The disease varies so greatly in
severity in different cases and in diff
ferent years that it has been sug-
gested that it would be wise to ex-
pose children to the infection in
year when it's course was mild. But
it is very serious thing to expose
child deliberately to the dangers Of
a disease Of this nature, for even
in a year Of the mildest epidemic an
individual case here and there will
be severe and even fatal.
When it is said that over seventy
drugs have been recommended in the
treatment of whooping cough il may
be assumed that none Of them has
been found very cfficacious. This is
not to say that much good may not
be obtained from certain medicines.
such as quinine and balladonna, for
example. Yet the main reliance in
the management of case of this
disease is on hygienic measures.
Although the patient must be kept
away from school and from other
children. it must on no account be
kept in the house. Fresh air and sun
shine are the best agents in the hygi-
enic treatment. City air is better
than none, but it is best when possible
to send the child to the country, where
it can be~0utdoors all day and not be
forced to inhale dust and smoke. In
stormy weather, when one must per-
force stay indoors, the playroom win
dows should all be wide open, and the
bedroom windows should also be open.
The food should be plentiful and
nourishing. and whenever the stomach
rejects Il meal the patient should
have another at once-at least a glass
Of milk and some bread and butter

STOCKS UNSETTLED
AS Result of Judge L.andis' Decision in
Standard Oil Case--Movemen
Was Fitfu, Confidence
Shaken.

New York, Aug. 5.--The decision OF
Judge Lands at Chicago broke the
market at the opening. 1t then lapsed
into dullness with partial recovery
based on the support given Standard
Oil on the curb and at | o'clock, for
one-half hour only 1000 shares were
sold but shortly before the close Wig.
orous short selling took place and the
market again gave way supposed to
be for the same reason as the first
break. The general concensus Of opin-
ion in the street is that the Standard
Oil fine Is excessive. The more con
sentative houses do not impugn the
motives Of Judge lands, but they
think his decision is not good law and
will be reversed on appeal.
There may be some liquidation or
short selling as there was today by
timid holders, or astute operators, but
the great body of the investing public
will keep its head and not think that
the whole commercial policy of the
United States was overturned on one
summer day.
If there are any weak points in the
market in specialized stocks they will
undoubtedly be covered by liquidation
Eut this does not apply to the general
list which we believe has been quite
thoroughly liquidated and the stocks
of the gilt-edge corporations will not
be loosed from their moorings easily.

ARE STRONG
In Wheat Pit But Bulls Not HOPELESS
--Other Grains More Firm
and Active.

Cairo, Ill, Aug. 5.-WHEAT--
Wheat was weak excepting for a
flash Of strength early on higher corn
and oats. Local sentiment is very
bearish, so much so as to suggest eau
ton about selling on those breaks.
There are possibilities on the bul
side which must not be overlooked
and the only real bearish factor at the
moment is the impending September
liquidation. Spring wheat is not yet
harvested and that crop is in no posi-
tiCn to withstand adverse weather
conditions. Should the plant escape
an early frost yields will quite likely
prove disappointing as the crop as n
whole lacks the vitality imperative to
good results. Winter wheat move.
ment is relatively small and decided
inclination is noted on the part OF
southwestern farmers to hold. While
not an immediate factor Europe will
ultimately require our wheat. The
worlds shortage is estimated by the
London Statist at 434,00000 Look
ing at the situation broadly we feel
friendly to wheat and would advise its
purchase On these breaks. Local re-
ceipts 900 cars with 476 expected to

CORN-This market was strong
and made fractional gains despite the
late weakness in wheat and oats. In
terest is broadening and there is a
notable increase in the number Of
small outside buying orders. The
southwest bought early. The late.
uneven crop is the main feature and
the shortage in oats production is a
factor. The movement is light and
the domestic demand good Cash
