WHOOPlNG KILLS MORE THAN
SCARLET FEVER.

According to Victor G.. Vaughan,
dean Of the medical college of the Uni
versity of Michigan and president OF
the American Medical association, there
are, in the United States today, only
one ninth of the number of deaths
from scarlet fever that there were in
1880. This remarkable decrease he
attributes to the early recognition and
complete isolation or quarantine of the
patient.
The disease itself takes on such
threatening and fear inspiring char
acteristics that, from the very nature of
it, the parent has a most wholesome
respect for it and usually hastily sum-
mons a physician and then follows his
directions to the letter.
Today whooping cough causes more
deaths than does scarlet fever. This
disease, like tuberculosis, the greatest
murderer of the infectious diseases, ap
pears to be so mild that it is regarded
with contempt. Sanitarians and medi-
cal inspectors of school children are
calling the attention of the public to the
falseness of this conclusion and urging
public.
Whooping cough is most fatal in
young infants. With reasonable
degree of care, young infants can be
perfectly protected against infection.
Nursing infants are not prone to con-
tagious diseases of any kind, probably
because they have less contact with
diseased children. Certain it is that no
child can be infected without absorbing
into his system some Of the discharges
of the sick child. For all practical
purposes, it may be accepted as that
such infection and such discharges
come from the mouth and nose Of the
sick child. The germs take the same
route into new victim.
Scrupulous care in keeping the we'll

sufficient. Handkerchiefs and napkins
used to wipe away the discharges Of
child suffering from whooping cough
should be thoroughly disinfected Or
burned, preferably the latter. Anyone
coming in contact with the patient
should wash her hands with the utmost
care. A further thorough rinsing in
alcohol increases the safety. So i'm
portant is the consideration of cIeanli
ness that in Providence hospital
nurses have been able by changing of
aprons and caps, thorough cleansing Of
their faces and hands, to go from one
child to another without carrying
disease.
Above all, let there be an end to the
opionion thai it is we'll for children to
acquire contagious diseases while they
are young and thus have them over
with. This superstition and illusion
has been responsible for the murder of
countless numbers of innocent infants.

money from credulous victims who be-
lieved that in this way they would es-
cape the inconvenience of quarantine
and disinfection. This is, of course, a
very simple form of extortion. Another
motive may be the sale of some quack
remedy for the disease.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur
. and Nobody WiIliknow.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruf, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which Is
mussy and troublesome.
4 Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as It does 1t
80 naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through you1 hair, taking
one small strand. at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

CRiTICIsE RESERVE CITIES
indications Are That Disappointed
municipalities Will Contest

Washington.-There was every In
iication here that the announcement
of the reserve districts and cities by
the reserve bank organizations COM
mittee had given the signal for a de-
terminel struggle upon the part OF
several cities which were disappoint-
ell, to overturn the committee on the
decision and bring about a redistric-
ton of the country, or at least a
change in the reserve cities named.
Under the law the decision Of the
organization committee is not sub
feet to review except by the Federal
reserve board. This board probably
will not be named by President Will
son for several weeks, but, in the
meantime, it is believed that those
disappointed with the committees an
nouncement will bend every effort to-
ward paving the way for changes. 1t
was pointed out that both Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo and Comp
troller of the Currency Williams, Of
the organization committee, are ex-
officio members of the reserve board
anil hardly could be counted upon to
reverse themselves. The president
has given no intimation as to who the
other five members will be.
