finding Charles Fox. the eleven-year- old
boy, and his mongrel dog, who drifted
out to sea in a rowboat yesterday. was

the boat, in which Edward Taylor. a boy
companion. said the Fox boy and the
dog had drifted away. the search was

in the boat yesterday, but was knocked

Avoid Public Congregations.

Children having whipping cough should
not ride in street cars or other public
conveyances. nor should they attend
schools. Sunday schools or other places
of public congregation. Well children
should be taught that they must not
come in close contact with children who
"whoop," and as method Of protection
against not only whooping cough. but
many other diseases, they should be
thoroughly instructed as to the dangers
of trading gum. exchanging pencils and
the other means by which sputum may
be transferred from one person to an
other. Promiscuous kissing should be
discouraged. If 1t is necessary that chill
dren having whooping cough should go
upon the street they should be plainly
tagged so that other children may be
warned. The Virginia Health Bulletin
suggests the wearing of a broad band of
green ribbon on the arm for the purpose.
and il is believed that this method would
prove eff1cacious.
''Any disease which kills 10000 children
per annum Is q serious one. Ii bubonic
plague were to kill that many children
in the United States in one year the
whole world would quarantine against
our country. A child dead of whooping
cough is just as dead as q child dead OF
plague child whose body Is weakened
by disease Is potential economic loss
to the nation. Whooping cough is a dan
ger to be avoided and combated in the
interest of humanity and the citizens of
tomorrow"

Germs Carried in Sputum.

1T seems to be pretty we'll proven that
the disease is transferred from one per-,
son to another by fairly close contact
only, and that the sputum is the medium
in which the disease germs leave the body
of the person having the disease. During
the violent coughing the sputum is thrown
considerable distance from the victim
in the form Of a fine spray. and it is in
this way and also by means of handker-
chiefs, napkins. bedclothes and the like
which have been recently Sprinkled with
the infected sputum. that the disease
germs are carried. The Effectiveness of
the sputum Is most marked during the
height of the disease, and it is active at
all times during the attack. 1t also is be-
lieved by some to be transmitted for
three or four weeks after the last whoop
is heard.
mo child should be allowed to go
through an attack of whooping cough
without intelligent care and attention.
This Is indeed very serious disease and
1t is unfortunate that custom has led
many mothers who do not realize the
dangers in the way Of complications and
after effects to nurse the child through
the attack without skilled assistance.
Under proper treatment the suffering of
the child can be very much reduced the
course Of the disease may be shortened,
and the dangers from complications
greatly lessened.
In the absence Of complications chill
dren having whooping cough should be
kept in the open air for twenty-four
hours out of the twenty-four. They
should be we'll clad. the clothing being
heavy enough to prevent chilling and
light enough to prevent the child from
becoming overheated or tired by the
weight of the clothing. AS long as the
child has fever or Is weak 1t should be
kept in bed. The bed should be placed
on a porch or in tent on the roof or In
the yard. The sides of the tent should
not be put down expect for the purpose
Of keeping out rain. The bedclOthes
should be SO arranged that the covers
cannot be kicked off,
