The symptoms of whooping cough
are divided into three stages-the ca
tarrhal, the spasmodic (whooping) and
the stage Of decline. The two latter
are so we'll known that they need not
be mentioned here. From the stand
point of prevention the catarrhal stage
Is the one that concerns us most, for 1t
Is the stage during which the disease
Is most contagious, and the stage In
which we, as a rule, have no definite
symptoms which enable us to distin-
guish the disease from a bronchitis.
While some children whoop almost
from the beginning, others may cough
for two or three weeks before typi-
cal whoop is noticed. Some children go
through the whole course of the dis
ease without a distinct whoop being
heard. However. If the cough persists
for longer than five or six days-is
paroXysmal in characterize par
oXysm increasing each day, and are
explosive in character, and particularly
If they come on two or three times
during the night-parents should grow
suspicious and keep their children
from minglng with others until the
true character of the disease is def
initely determined.
The Danger In Whooping Cough.
What has been said under this head
in measles in reference to broncho-
pneumonia, ileo- -colitis, bowel trou-
BILE" and tuberculosis is equally true
in whooping cough, and need not be
repeated, except it can be truthfully
stated that broncho- pneumonia is an
even more fatal complication in
whooping cough than in measles, which
fact accounts for the mortality in this
disease, being slightly higher than in
measles.

season of its history. All the games con-

while some of the teams suffered at
times from lack OF practice. none were

Many OF the games ended with but
two Or three points difference in tho

OIL DIVIDENDS
FOR NOVEMBER

SAN FRANCISCO, December IL
The report of dividends paid for the
month of November by listed Calfor-
mia oil companies does not look like
hard times, even if crude oil of low
quality is worth in the market only 30
cents per barrel. The fact that divi-
dends are paid at all explains why
operators are continuing production in
the face of the low prices, and is evil
dence that it will pay to produce oil
once the well is performing--at 80
cents. During the month $547,2G9
were paid in dividends by these COM
panies, which is $35, 500 less than Octo-
bers payments. 1t should be remem-
bered that not all the listed compa-
MES have given to the public a state
ment of dividends paid by them, and
also that large number of the
wealthiest companies, including the
British oil companies operating in the
Coalinga field, do not publish their
dividends.

STOCK MARKET
ON THE BOOM

Not in many months have stocks
been as firm or prices as high as they
are today. Almost every stock listed
has taken an ascension and there is
remarkable activity among the brok-
ers. The feeling of confidence has
been increased by the dividend an
nouncements Of two plantation com
panies. The directors of Onomea
Sugar Company announce that, begin
ming January 5, the regular dividend
will be increased from 80 to 45 cents
per month, continuing until further no
tice.
The directors of the Hawaiian Agri-
cultural Company announce that, be-
ginning January 2, the regular divi-
dend will be increased from 81 per
share to 81.
Several of the stocks made big
jumps today. Waialua, which early in
the week was selling at 116, sold up to
11S, and made further advance of a
dollar, 119 being bid for a big block,
with holders standing out for 100. One
of the brokers' stated this morning
that he expected the stock to sell at
100 before night. A block of 100
shares sold this morning at 11S.
r.. Eva, which three weeks ago was
selling at 80 has gone up to 80, sale
of rs shares being made at that figure,
with the same bid for more, and 30
asked.
Hawaiian Pineapple remains firm at
40, at which price shares changed
hands this morning. Onomea jumped
