CHILDREN SHOWED IT
Effect of Their Warm Drink in the

A year ago | was a wreck from
coffee drinking and was on the point
of giving up my position in the school
room because of nervousness.
Il was telling a friend about it and
she said, we drink nothing at meal
time but Postum, and it is such a
comfort to have something we can
enjoy drinking with the children
Il was aStOnished that she would
allow the children to drink any kind of
coffee. but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as we'll as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be a fact.
MY first trial was a failure. The
cook boiled it four. or five minutes and
it tasted SO fiat that | was in despair
but determined to give it one more
trial. This time we followed the direc.
tons and boiled it fifteen minutes aft

success and 1 was completely won by

For the relief of our friends 90
who have appeared to be so greatly
interested in the affairs Of the Menual
school and the conditions of the scar
let fever here, and especially for those
who asked TO have us arrested. | wish
to make n few explanations.
We have had all told nineteen eases
of scarlet fever that were pronounced
enough to diagnose and several 9TH
crs that were guaranteed as suspici-
GUS cases. Where our first case was
exposed to the disease we do not
know. but it being a light case was
not discovered at once. hence the
spread in the school.
We have had ono death. this being
the second ever occurring IN the
school. This was not from scarlet
fever but from a chronic weakness Of
six years standing that was aggravat-
ed by the fever. The boy had been
up for three weeks before the fatal
trouble showed up at all ana in less
than seven hours he was dead.
We have not had more than five
eases at any one time n%otwithstand-
ing the fact thai reports came to us
from town that We had twenty or
thirty.
When our first case was discovered
we called the doctor and all possible
means 10 clear the school of germs
wore used. We had three OF the
leading physicians Of the town. be-
sides the county health officer. who's
instructions we followed II who cX-

the first symptoms the pupil was

fever. or having It, Those who had

to go near. No one except the nurse
was permitted to enter the building.
Notwithstanding the above men

double safety, We have kept ourselves
away from church and all other gath
erings. even the teachers who have
