WHooPING COUGH.
A Highly Contagious Disease That
Should Not Be Neglected.

Many persons regard whooping
cough as tedious and annoying. but
quite without serious Importance. I'm
fortunately that mistake often leads
to the neglect of the disease itself and
the failure to isolate the patient prop
erly. Recent statistics show that of
the children under one year of age who
have whooping cough one in four dies.
The mortality decreases rapidly with
advancing age, and at five years of
age only one patient in fifty dies. Ten
thousand children die of this disease
every year in the United States.
Even when whooping cough does not
result fatally it is still to be dreaded,
for it may be followed by consump-
ton, since the patients powers of re
sistance are often greatly weakened by
the violent and exhausting cough.
The disease is highly contagious, al
though the offending germ has not yet
been discovered. Consequently the
mother or the nurse of 81 child with
whooping cough ought never to take it
| into public conveyances or to enter
/ tainments or send it to school or to
| church-anywhere in short. where it
! will expose other children to the infec-
! ton.
/ The disease begins like simple cold
in the head and rapidly goes to the
chest The cough is at first short and
sharp. but gradually increases in Sc
verify and occurs in paroxysms. At the
end of one of these attacks the air is
pumped completely out of the lungs
and the child feels that he must take a
deep breath at once. But now a spasm
of the larynX occurs. and only q small
opening is left for the air to enter
Through this opening the child draws
his eager breath and thus makes the
peculiar noise of 'whoop'' that gives
the disease its name
Often vomiting follows Il severe at
tack of coughing, and sometimes there
is nosebleed or hemOrrhage from the
throat or into the eyes.
Never neglect the treatment u
whooping cough. At present we know
of no cure for the disease. but the child
should always be under the care of ;
physician, who can do much to miti
gate the severity of the cough and [,
prevent serious COMPREHENSIVE

A space saver is the combined IRON
ing board and stepladder patented by
a Minnesota man The ironing board
Is hinged to the top of the ladder and
its other end is hinged to a rectangu-
lar frame that acts either as one set of
legs for the board or as a pen to re-
ceive the legs of the ladder. This lat
ter use is an extra feature, for, as
the illustration plainly shows, it pre-
vents the ladder from slipping and
makes it much safer than any catch
can do The ironing board, of course.
forms the back support of the ladder.
To use the board the ladder. which is
made in slidable sections, is adjusted
to the height of the other stand, and a
firm support is thus provided for both
ends of the board. When not in use
this contrivance can be folded up into
small compass and placed in a closet
or corner

Do YOU LOVE YOUR WORK ?
If You Do Not, Then You Are Simply
Wasting Your Efforts.


If your work is Il burden, if it is
drudgery to you, you have not found
your place in life. If you are in the
right place you will feel every faculty
and function in you Juggling away at
your purpose with delight. Everything
within you will give its consent, its APP
prevail to your choice
The mental attitude which we hold
toward our work or our aim has every
thing to do with what we accomplish.
If you go to your work like a slave
dashed to his task and see in it only
drudgery; if you work without hope.
see no future in what you are doing be-
yond getting a bare living; if you see
no light ahead, nothing but poverty,
deprivation and hard work all your
life; if you think that you are destined
to such a hard life, you cannot expect
to get anything else than that for
/ which you look.
! Every one should go to his work with
the same eager spirit as the great mas
ter approaches his canvas - with his
soul, led by a great longing and heart
/ hunger, an all absorbing eagerness to
transpose to the canvas the mighty pic
ture which is consuming his soul.
If you approach your work as though
it were burden which you would glad
ly get rid Of if you could and do it
merely from a sense of duty you will
continue to be a nobody in the world
That sort of spirit never lifts a man
out of mediocrity SWEET Mar

Queer Uses For the crocus.

The crocus is nowadays held to justi
fy its existence by its beauty, but in
bygone centuries it was cultivated
with an eye to profit, its saffron being
in high demand both as an aromatic
and as a favoring for cakes and pies.
A distillation of crocus blossoms also
was held to be good for strengthening
the lungs and heart and as a proven
tive of plague. Evidence of the flow
er's commercial value survives in the
name of the chief center of it's cultiva-
ton, Saffron Walden, but saffron now
adays is appreciated only by the spar
rows, which wreck the crocuses to OBJ
tain it.-London Chronicle.

removed quite successfully in the fol
lowing way: Mix small quantity of
soft soap with the same proportion of

brush, and, if possible, let the article
lie on the grass all day and night, until
the stains have quite disappeared
Then wash in the usual manner.

Most of the elk we are shipping,

pounds in weight The state which is
to receive the elk is required TO pay
all expenses of capture and shipment.
All the elk in the Yellowstone region
are fat ard in prime condition this
year. They look much better than
last year, and consequently are in

The scenes in the elk region of
Wyoming during the last two years
are described as heartrending The
starving elk. driven to the lowlands
by the high SHOWS in the mountains,
found most of the range fenced in by
ranchers. In many cases they broke
down fences and demolished the hay
stacks of the ranchers. They ate the
willows along the streams, and grad
ually grew weaker and weaker, and
finally sank down to die in the snow
Immediately they were pounced upon
by magpies and other birds. and their
eyes were picked out IN many cases

In all, the government has appro-
priated close to 100000 for elk pro,

Street Ethics in CHICAGO.

A law has been enacted in Prussia
which makes it a prison offense for
any one to fail to answer a cry for
help or to go to the rescue of per-
son in danger when it is possible to
do SO without endangering ones own
life. Such law would not be amiss
IN Chicago. Not only ethics, but or
binary deeency and manliness are too
frequently forgotten here. Let a thug
assault a person in the street and the
majority of men who happen along,
instead Of going to the assistance of
the person assaulted, will scurry away
SO as not to be dragged into the affair,
Let person be injured by street
car half the people who witnessed the
accident will refuse to give their
names to be called upon as witnesses
by the victim.
Whether all the ethics of citizenship
can be enforced effectively through
laws and ordinances may be doubted.
yet the legal declaration of some pri-
mary duties would help to develop
conscience in such matters now appar-
emily sadly lacking Chicago Tribune.
