Scarlet Fever.

The Unusual prevalence OF scarlet
fever Ia various parts of the State
calls for the utmost efforts on the
part OF health officers and school au-
thorities In order that its spread may
be restricted. Two facts should be
especially remembered: LIST that the
disease is extremely contagious,
remaining so as long "a there 10 any
scsiing and that many cases OF the
dieease are so mild as to cause little
sickness, resulting frequently In
failure to recognize or report 1t.
Q iarantine should be strictly
enforced a. long as there Is any
appearance of scaling aud the person
affected should not be permitted TO
attend school In any case for a period
OF three weeks after quarantine Ia
removed. In accordance with the law.
Disinfection should be thorough, and
following IL the doors and windows
shonld be kept open as long as
possible to allow an abundance OF
sunlight and fresh air to enter,
which is an important part OF
disinfection.
People should be urged to carefully
watch for the frst symptoms of the
disease, and however mild IL may be,
the same strict precautions should be
taken In all cases. Vomiting and
sore throat should always be looked
upon with suspicion; and children
should bs detained from attendance
at school whenever they occur.
Failure to report the disease or
attempts to conceal it's presence
should be punished to the full extent
provided by law.
TEACHERS should be instructed ia
be on the alert to recognize the fret
symptoms of sickness or eruption and
to promptly exclude children &C
affected.
THE COMMON DRINKING CUP.
One OF the frequent sources Of
scarlet fever, dinhtheria and Other
contagious diseases is the use OF tn,
common drinking cup. In th,
schools this should not he permitted
Where 1t Is impossible to provide thu
sover6ow tap, children should b,

should be numbered. This rul,

In 1903, and he claims that cards were
invented many years prior to this. An
edict prohibiting the use OF cards was

1887, and In 14G4 the English parIia-

1t was a singing rebuke to the shift.

Briefly told, President Mckinley
gave to Captain Andrew Rowan of
the United States army private mes
sage to General Garcia, somewhere In
Cuba.
Rowan did not ask, 'Where Is Gar
cia?" Nobody knew. 1t was Rowan's
business to find the general. And the
point of Hubbard's moral was that
Rowan did not question why or make
reply, but through perlls seen and un-
seen, through swamps and jungle,
made the intrepid journey and found
his man.
The lesson was plain.
If you are told to do a thing by

why or how or when. And do not say
you can't do 1t until you try and try

A STERILlZED BOY.

In New York city n little boy, heir
to millions, Is being brought up on the
sterilization plan.
Everything the boy eats, wears,
breathes or handles is sterilized. His
clothing. food. the air he breathes-
even his toys-are made immune from
microbes.
1t is believed when he grows to man
hood he will be a perfect specimen of
the race.
Poor little fellowl
What fun they are depriving him of!
He cannot play in the park or go bare
footed and cool his feet I'm the sand or
mix mud pies.
Microbes!
He cannot play leap frog or marbles
or slide down cellar door or trade
pennies or chalk or jackknives with
the boys OF his street
Microbes.
He cannot go to school with Mike
and Billy and fight 'em on the way
home. And as to going in swimming
or trading shirts
Microbes.
Why, the little fellow cannot even
call a dog his own except the dog be
steriliZed.
What sort of man will this wisp of
humanity make, always provided they
do not kill him by sterilization before
he is out of his teens?
Boys are made into men by friction.
They so up against microbes, eat
them, drink them, breathe them, han.
die them, fight them, overcome them
Resistance makes men of them phys
ically.
And when you come into the realm
OF character resistance is absolutely
necessary. To fill the measure of man.

boys in the republic OF boyhood and
get the corners knocked Off.
A boy must give and take IL he Is To

You can make stalled OK the prize

man that way.
They are robbing that New York
boy Of his boyhood-life's biggest as.
set.
And when they get through with
him-if he survives-he will be n big
helpless infant crying in the night OF
his inexpericnce.
One thing is sure:
The process OF sterilization will take
all the Joy out of the boys life.
