How to Prevent NhOOplAg Cough,

The prevention OF whooping
cough has always been regarded by
health officers and phvsicisns as
impossible. This is not due to any
especial difficulty connected with
the disease itself. On the contrary;
the reason why whooPing cough is
not prevented is because il is impos-
sibie to enforce the measures nee
ceSSary to stamp il out. When peo-
pie insist on regarding it as of no
importance. and even sometimes
voluntarily exposing their children
to It that they may have It while
young, they cannot hope to end its
horrors. The spread Of whooping
cough can easily be controlled by
the parents Of any community if all
Will unite in the work. II parents
whose children have the disease viii
warn their neighbors and friends
against visiting them: if they viii see
that children when on the street do
not mingle al close range with other
children, and if they will not let
other peoples children visit their
homes when whooping cough is pre-
vailing there. the greater part of the
disease will quickly disappear. If
parents will keep their children
away from those children that they
know are suffering with whooping
cough. they viii greatly lessen the
dangers Of the disease and will ma
terially reduce its spread.
Parents should never voluntarily
expose a child to whooping cough
in order that il may have the disease
while young. II a child does no
have whooping cough before five
years. it viii probably never suffei
from the complaint. Parents shoulc
remember that the chances OF deatt
under five years are greater by al
most fifty to one than they are owe
that age.
Parents should protect the younl
children and keep them frSm TIT
disease for their own sakes; the
should keep the older children from
the disease in order that they ma!
not bring il into the home and infec
the younger children. Wig. mi

The PRIMARY BILL,

The Gazette. after a careful pc
rusal OF the Byrd Primary Bill. finds
little or nothing in il 70 cri6cise.
Indeed. il meets with our hearty ap-
Proval. In this We reflect the views !
( OF nine-tenths Of the Democrats With |
whom We have talked on the sub /
ject. The only objection that We
have heard 70 the proposed bill is
the compulsory feature. This. to
our mind, is the least objection that
can be found 10 il Either we are
10 have a legalizsd primary, an ad
vanced measure. or we are to 90
along in the same unsatisfactory
way. OF course. those opposed TO
a primary IN any form are expected
10 oppose Mr.. Byrd's bill. They
vii oppose any ard al such meas
ures. because they want. no primary
al all. The old line politicians Of
both parties viii oppose il, because
they can not manipulate the ma
chinery in legslize6 primary. And
then, when al parties are required
20 nominate by the primary plan. il
! places them on an equal footing
Il VIII enable q poor man TO enter
the race for office. thus removing
I the only real objection 70 primaries.
The Gazette notes with surpnse
/ that some OF It's contemporaries are
opposed 70 that feature OF the bill
which requires the marking Of al
paid advertising in connection with
candidates in primaries. In our
opinion Mr.. Byrd showed the mas
ter mind when he incorporated that
clause. The papers that oppose this
part Of the bill are 70 say least IL
consistent. We are demanding pub
Lefty on every subject where the
peoples interests are involved. We
are demanding. and rightly so. that
there shall DC publicity as TO how
the money OF the taxpayers is spent.
We are lou il our demands for
publicity as TO corporations. yet
when We are asked 70 take dose Of
the same physic. We make a WY
face. The Gazette no longer than

newspapers make i fixed policy
