Like the Indian, Indian summer can

"squaw winter" by the folk that gave
the name Indian summer to the beau

difference between them and the

an increased haziness of the air, an
increased baroness of vegetation, be-
cause the preliminary snap of "squaw

PREVENTION OF SCARLET FEVER

The great increase in the number
of cases of scarlet fever which always
accompanies the opening of the schools
in the fall has caused the United
States public health service to issue
at this time a bulletin on this serious
disease OF childhood.
While the way in which scarlet
fever is spread and its prevention are
well known to health officers and ply
sicians. the general public usually ne
elects to take those precautions which
would diminish and prevent this dis
ease so fatal to young children.
The contagion of scarlet fever is
spread principally from the dis
charges OF the nose and throat, and
the acts responsible for the transmits
sion of the disease from the sick to
the well are those which are common
in our every day life, particularly
among children; namely, kissing, the
use of the common drinking cup and
common towel, placing in the mouth
articles such as lead pencils. candy,
apples, and the like, which have been
previously placed in the mouth or in
fected with the nose and throat dis
charges of persons suffering from scar
let fever. or by being sprayed with
such discharges in the act of being
"coughed at" or "sneezed at"
We possess no specific remedies
against scarlet fever. The disease
once contracted must run its course.
The chief efforts for it's control, there
fore, must be directed towards its pre-
vention. The most important means
for preventing scarlet fever consist
first. in the early recognition of the
cases as they occur. and second, in a
thorough isolation of those who are
sick. The important thing to remem-

resentatives were chosen. and the
democrats controlled eight of them.
During those years the tariff was the
overshadowiug issue. Since 1892, un-
I'll recently. the tariff issue was sec
ond to the currency issue. and the
democrats were divided on that and
regularly beaten.
But in 1910 the tariff again was the
dominant issue. and the democrats
carried the elections that year. 1912
and 1914. for after all the racket made
by the repu blicans. the democrats are
strong in both branches of congress.
Take the matter a little more in de-
tail. In 1883 the republicans enacted
a tariff law. and in 1854 the democrats
elected the president and the house.
In 1880 the republicans passed an
other tarif bill, and Immediately there
after the democrats elected $50 mem
bers OF the house and the republicans
elected SIS. The democrats had a ma
jority of las. which was 60 more than
the whole republican membership. But
the republicans denied that the Nc
Kinley tariff had been repudiated.
They declared that after the people
got used to It they would like it. But,
after two years more OF the Mckinley
tariff. the country elected a demo
cratic house by a majority of "a, and
a democratic president by the assist
ance of half a dozen republican states.
Then came the division of the dem
ocrats on the currency issue and the
tariff was relegated TO second place,
and the republicans took everything
90 10 &c
made a tariff in 1894. and the repub-
licans elected a majority of the house
at the ensuing election. The republi-
cans passed a tariff bill in 1897 and
carried the congressional election in
1898. The currency was still a live
issue, and November. 1895, the McKin-
ley administration had the prestige of
a foreign war.
Dissatisfaction with the Dingley
tariff was so general. even in the re-
publican party. that in the national
convention OF 1908 the republicans
promised to revise it. They revised
it in 1909 with so little reduction that
the country elected a house of repre-
sentatives with a democratic majority
of 66. After experiencing two more
years OF the Payne-Aldrich tariff the
country repudiated it some more by
eiecting a democratic president and
house containing a democratic ma
jority of 147.
In 1913 the democrats passed a
tariff law, and in 1914 they reelected
a majority of the house of representa-
tives and gained a few seats in the
senate.
In view of this 80 years record,
what do the republicans think of con-
gressional elections as regulations of
tariff laws?

WHAT OF THE TARIFF?

The results Of the election are being
used as a text by many republicans
for essays on the reputation of dem
ocratic tariff theories by the voters OF
this country a short resume Of the
tariff history Of the United States will
prove that the tarin theories OF the
democratic party have received en-
dorsement a far greater number of
times than those Of the republican
party. Even this year the election
has returned a larger plurality OF
the party that revised the tariff than
has been returned az any election fol
lowing a revising of the tariff, in re-
cent years.
The democrats carry the country
almost invariably when the issue is
the tariff; they generally lose when
other issues are prominent

AID OF BLACKMAILER.

Clifford G. Roe, president of the
American Bureau of Moral Education,
addressing the National Purity Con
gress at Kansas City, declared there
are Matchmaking organizations in and
about Chicago, using the Mann white
slave act as their weapon.
There have been few pieces of legis.
lation that have been more widely dis
cussed or any with a more laudable
purpose. 1t was intended TO put 10
an end the traffic in women so far as
cOmmercialized vice was interstate in
its character. The law, however, has
developed many ramifcations which
unquestionably never were considered
by its trainers.
Celebrating his subject. Mr.. Roe ex-
planned: This white slave law was
enacted TO protect girls against white
slavers, but it is now being grossly
misued by designing and cunning
women TO shake" down gullible and
unsuspecting men. | am informed on
good authority that several black
mailing organizations are operating in
and about Chicago at the present time.
Clever women infest certain fash
ionable hotels to decoy acquaintances
10 adjoining states. Men confeder-
ates do the rest, and the gullible easy
marks come across"
The answer that is made to this use
of the law is that the male victims
are willing parties up to the point
where the shake down. comes and
are committing offenses against NOR
ais and deserve no sympathy-that
the purpose Of the law is two-fold: TO
punish crime and to deter people from
its commission.
There is no gainsaying the fact.
however, that 1t was not the intention
of the trainers OF the federal statute to
include other than parties TO CONNER
cialized vice within its scope: il was
farthest from the legislators inten-
ton to pass a law furnishing a ready
instrument for the blackmailer or TO
made a criminal offense out of an act

the anniversary of that saints burial.
He was the patron saint of beggars.
innkeepers and vine growers. What
followed from that juxtaposition
might easily be inferred. The time
was given over to feasting. This
was aided by the fact that about this
time cattle were slaughtered Tor
winter use, and the new wine was
opened. II naturally followed that
ST. Martin was popular with the Eng
lish, who were valiant trenchermen.
At one time in London alone there
were 700 churches named in his
honor ST Martin, too. was particu-
larly honored by the children, and
his day became, for another phase of
it. sort of juvenile orgy. 1t is not
often that one saint is the patron of
so many and different factors of hui
man life and society as st. Martin,
