its name. If the child is in bed, a
coughing spell may come on without

that an attack is coming on. Any

drinking or crying will bring on a
spell. Beginning with short cough,
there follows long series of coughs
which gradually become shorter and
shorter, racking the whole body and
causing the greatest distress. At the
end OF the series of coughs the child
Is breathless: its breath is drawn in
with sudden catch and whoop.
Sometimes three or four attacks may
come In succession, leaving the child
completely exhausted.
Every case of whoOpng cough
should be treated by physician. for
proper treatment not only lessons the
child's suffering, but 1t leads to
prompt recognition of the symptoms
of any dangerous complication which
might threaten the child's life.
Health authorities have done little
toward stamping out the disease be-
cause of the generally prevalent be-
lief that it Is of a more or Less trivial
nature. But 1t would undoubtedly ma
terially lessen the spread Of the dis
ease, If health authorities would take
hold of it as they do of other dan
gerous contagious diseases, placard-
ing the houses in which there are
whoOping cough patients, and other
wise warning against the contagion.
1t would be cruel to confine children
with Whooping cough entirely to the
house; they need the fresh air. But
1t has been suggested that children
with whooplng cough should be mark
ed with a ribbon of some specified
color worn on the arm when they
go out as warning to others against
the disease. Such protective meas
ures must have tendency to pre-
vent the spread OF the disease.
Adoption of these protective meas
ures can only be brought about when
people are convinced Of their value
and necessity. The spread of whoop-
ing cough can easily be controlled, if
the parents OF any community will
unite in the work. Parents whose
children have the disease should warn
their neighbors and friends against
visiting them: they should see to it
that their children when on the street
do not mingle with other children
and they should not let other peoples

wise, parents of children not affected
with the disease, should keep their
children severely away from those

TRACED TO RACING STABLES
Slang Phrase, "Gettine His Goat" So
Popular Now. Had Origin In
Actual Occurrences.

Unlike many other vivid or pIctur.
esque sla.g expressions. which en-.
rich and enliven the English language,
but the source OF which is either OBJ.
scure or totally unknown. the origin
OF the phrase. ito get his goat" can
fortunately be traced. Until 1t came
into popular use. about half n dozen
years ago. the phrase was confined to
racing stables and TO running horses
and was part OF the language Of the
racetrack.
1t was formerly the rather wide
spread custom among owners OF rae.
ing stock to keep a goat in the same
stall with a horse. either from the
superstitious belief in mascots or
from the more scientific belief that
the goat impaired some Of his
strength or magnetism to the horse.
Ardent friendships have been known
to spring up between goats and
horses living thus in close intimacy
and sleeping together.
When a horse that had the compan.
ionship of goat chanced to win the
Jockeys would attribute his success
to the influence Of the goat. and 1t
happened more than once that a
stable boy would get the goat" OF the
winning horse by entering the stable
surreptitiously at night and taking the
animal to the stall of his own favorite
II the horse that was deprived OF his
goat friend should lose the next day
and the other horse should win. that
would. of course. strengthen the belief
in the efficacy OF the goat.
The practice Of relying on goats to
help a horse win a race Is said to be
dying out. but 1t has left behind one
O: the most expressive phrases. which
seems destined ultimately to become
as respectable as any English idiom.
