SMALL PON.

,.ditor The Herald and News:
Since small poX is present in var
Gus sections of our country the reo-
ple should have some information on
he diagnosis and modes of transfer
:n~ .he disease from one person to
ars+,cr. Within to last 10 years
the writer has had the misfortune to
see quite number of small poX pa
icnts-of these cases one. died, sew
nral were seriously i'll, but the ma
jcrity of them were comparatively
mild. This winter, however, the dis
ease seems to be a little more severe
.I'an it was in this section some years
ago.
Unfortunately many people get
>rall pox and chicken poX or big
chicken pox mixed, SO this question
rises, viz, how can we differentiate
snail pox from chicken pox? In COM
pairing chicken pox with small poX
the writer will describe an average
case Of such. disease.
Chicken pox begins with fever and
there may be some headache and
backache and sometimes nausea and
vomiting. AS a rule the fever is not
high and the headache and backache,
if present, are not severe. The erup-
ton (bumps) in chicken pox almost
always appear on the first day OF the
disease, however, it may not be MOTTO
ed until the second day.
Small pox often begins with chill,
which is followed by considerable few
er. The patient has evere headache
and backache and sometimes there is
nausea and vomiting. The patient
may have several chills. On the third
or fourth day the fever declines and
the headache and backache subslde..
On the fourth day the eruption
(bumps) begin to appear, however, 1t
may not be detected unless looked for
closely, until the fifth or even the
sixth day of the disease.
From the above description OF the
two diseases you will notice that the
eruption (bumps) occur in chicken
pox on the first day, but does not oc-
cur in small poX until the fourth day.
This is a very important point in dis
tinguishing one disease from the 9TH
er In chicken pox the bumps" rip
en- faster, all the symptoms are less
severe and run a shorter course than
in small poX. In small poX the
the bumps are more numerous on
the face and extremities than on the
body. In chicken poX the bumps are
usually more numerous on the body
than on the face ana eXLreEllLleS. III
small pox the bumps ripen much slow
er than in chicken pox and they are
more painful and sore. When the
eruption does not occur until the
fourth day of the disease it does seem,
from the above description, that there
should be no excuse for calling small
pox by the name of chicken pox or
big chicken pox. Big chicken pox
exists only in the minds of some peo-
pie.
Some people have an idea that all
cases of genuine small pox must be
very severe This is a mistake. The
writer had three cases in the same

Gus problem OF feeding the refugees.
1t was necessary to permit food to
be sent across to the Mexican side to
save the lives of women. children and
wounded Federals. For such as waded
through the river there was no shelter

here had been converted into Red

streaming down from the battlefield
about mile back from the river, wo-
men nursing babies mingle with the
hobblng wounded They were scat
tered for almost two miles, up and
down the river banks Most of these
refugees were camp followers. At
remote points wounded rebels also
came to the river. Major McNamee
extended to the combatants of both
sides such aid az humanity dictated.
Greater Exodus Feared.
The arrival of the camp followers
who usually remain with the soldiers
until the situation becomes untenable
for them. was regarded as the pre-
cursor OF q greater exodus. Major
McNamee has been on tho alert for a
week for n possible flight of the whole
Federal army.
Though the battle between the 4. 900
defending Federals and 5000 or more
rebels among the hills progressed un-
til late In the day; 1t remained unde-
cided at nightfall. The rebels put
their artillery into action. One shell
alone. IL was observed through field
glasses, brought seventy-siX soldiers
to the ground. Observers on the
American side were OF the opinion that
the total wounded may be 700 or 500
while the number OF killed would be
less than half that number.
Toward night the rebels firing slack
encd. This was followed at once by
the siiencing of the Federal arms. Tho
United States troops along the river
While prepared for an emergency, had
not lost sight OF the possibility that
the rebels ammunition might run out
which would necess!tate their falling
hack temporarily.
The few shots which fell in United
States territory caused no damage.
Some sickness broke out among the
refugees. but the Red Cross officials
believe 1t has been checked.

Mystery Only Partially cleared.

scout cruiser Chester. bearing John
Lind, the Presidents envoy, back to
Mexico, to continue his observations OF
Mexican affairs. the mystery that has
enveloped Mr.. Lind's visit to President
wilson only was partially cleared.
Just why the nations chief execu-
tive decided not to permit Mr.. Lind to
have any shore leave" and took upon
himself the inconvenience of being
transhipped four times at sea. has not
been explained. President Wilson vol
unteered no explanation, but one of
the suppositions current is that he did
not wish the special envoy to be sub
jected to the inquisition of the news
paper correspondents. Another theory
is that the President desired to show
Mexico that there is no change in the
American policy. and no actual inter
ruption of Mr.. Lind's mission TO Mex
leo.
The peculiar movements of the rev.
enue cutter Winona and the long de-
lay before the President and Mr.. Lind
actually met were partly accounted
for to-day. when it became known that
lack of wireless facilities on the rev.
enue cutter had confused plans When
the Chester reported her arrival the
Winona's launch had to make fifteen
mile trip to shore and back again be-
fore arrangements could he made for
the Presidents visit.
Only Source of Information.
The President was the only source
of information concerning the confer
ence with Mr.. Lind. He spoke of IL
claring that nothing specific had been
developed, and that nothing of any
definite character foccasioned the meet
ing. Tho President asserted that he
discussed no particular plan of ac-
ton.
The President early to-day took Mr..
Lind's two sons. Norman Lind and
John Lind. Jr.. eight miles In his au-
tomobile to the pier from which they
boarded the revenue cutter Winona and
went to the Chester to bid their dis
unguished father farewell. With the
exception of the President they were
the only visitors who saw Mr.. Lind
during his brief stay.
a touch OF patltos was lent to the
exchange of farewells this morning
between Mr. Lind and his two sons,
when Mrs. Pauline Mezzinson, who lives
at Bay ST. Louis. Miss, thirty miles
from here, sought 10 see her son,
George. yeoman in the navy, aboard

she learned that none of the ships
crew was to come ashore, went on
board n tug which followed tho Winona
to the place where the scout cruiser
was anchored.
The tug, however, was warned away

gray haired woman was forced to call
Ter tender good-by across the inter-
yening water to her son, who was al
