CITY PHYSICIAN TELLS HOW THIS CHII,D'S DISEASE IS CAUSED AND HOW IT SHOULD BE TREnrHD

foung Mothers Existence" is the sub ject treated by Dr. R. NJ. Cunningham, city health officer in health bulletin No. IA. issued yesterday. This is almost en- tirely children's disease, states pr. Gun ningham His treatment of the subject follows:
 Whooping Cough
 The characteristic symptom is a %whoop" during the inspiration following a paroxysm of coughing, hence the name This is largely a disease of children from months to years. After this the susceptibility to the disease diminishes, SC that it is rare in adults, though the latter are not exempt even in old age it oc- CUTS, and is very dangerous. The disease occurs, generally speaking, in epidem- ics; rarely an isolated case occurs. These epidemics differ in severity, yirulenee and mortality. like all other epidemic diseases They occur more often and with greater severity in cold climates It is much more severe in the negro race. Dogs and cats may have the disease, and communicate il to humans. It is quite contagious among puppies.
 Cause
 The cause of whooping cough is the bacillus pertussus, a small bacillus re- semblng the influenza bacillus" This bacillus is found mostly deep down in the lungs or smaller bronchial tubes, and ir the walls of these tubes and the windpipe also. It grows and multiplies only in a patient with the disease It is not very resistant to ordinary conditions. and soon dies. It is discharged from the body in the nasal and mouth seeretions, and also the approximation. One attack es- tablishes immunity.
 Mode of Transmission
 It is essentially a contagious disease chiefly communcated from one person tc another through the nasal and mouth se- cretions, and expectoration. It is prob ably not air borne. certainly to no great extent, but like measles, scarlet fever and smallpox, may infect the air of 2 room. particularly small ill-ventilatet

child had breaking out on the lower
limbs which developed into eczema.
The eczema began with pimples which
contained yellow corruption and from
the child's clothing they were greatly
irritated. They seemed to burn, which
made the child scratch them, resulting
in mass of open places. They made
her so cross and fretful that it was
impossible to keep her quiet. They
caused her to lose much sleep and she
was constantly tormented by severe
itching and burning.

The withdrawal OF J. p Morgan &

Danger in Being Only Child.

According to Freud, the great Ger
man authority, large percentage of
the weaklings who figure in divorce
trials and in dissolute circles owe
their abnormality to the fact that each
was an only child The care with
which they were shielded from contact
with anybody less favored and the
way their normal impulses were sup
pressed gave them the perverse con-
ception of love, marriage and other
relations which makes them the pit
liable figures they a<e today.

The question where sleep begins IS
by no means easily answered. One is

we shall be near the truth in regard

to look under that hemlock branch
he might go right past without ever
knowing that they were anywhere
near. So in sitting perfectly still they
were doing the very wisest and best
thing.
But it was hard work. the very
hardest kind of hard work With
every approaching step of the hunter
it became harder. Mrs. Grouse set
herself to spring into the air If they
should be discovered, shut her mouth
tightly and held her breath. Jumper
the Hare set his long hind-legs under
him ready for q sudden Jump, laid his
long ears back and held his breath.
Nearer and nearer cams the hunter,
his terrible gun across the hollow of
one arm. He looked this way and
that way and the other way. He was
looking for Mrs. Grouse and she
knew 1t. 1t seemed to her ~ II he
must hear the humping of her heart.
Her bright eyes grew dark with fear
as she watched him. 1t seemed to her
that she must, she simply must fly.
She couldn't understand how It was
possible for that great man to look
so happy, for he did look happy, when
he was filling others with such awful
fear. She almost wished that a great
giant would come hunting him Just
for fun and make him hide and shiver

and shake with fear SO that he might
know just how she and Jumper were
feeling that very minute. g.
But frightened as she was little
bit of gladness. crept into her heart.
The hunter wasn't Farmer Browns
boy and she was glad of that. Ever
since the terrible time when she was
frozen under the icy crust which
formed over the snow one night last
winter and Farmer Browns boy had
found her and fed her and been good
to her she had had a kindly feeling
for him, and somehow. no matter
what others said, she had a feeling
way down in her heart that never
again would he hunt her with his ter
rible gun as he once had done.
The hunter was so close now that
he actually brushed the tip of the
hemlock branch under which they
were hiding. Would he look under?
Mrs Grouse held her breath anG
Jumper held his breath and both Eel,
as II they must scream. He was hal,
turning now. Would he look under;
II he did. would he be able to Kill
both of them? Why didn't he go on?
But he didn't. He stood still right in

back to them and rested the butt of
his terrible gun on the ground.
