FATAL To INFANTS
Grave Danger of Whooping Cough
Epidemic Is Pointed Out.

Kansas is in danger of a whooping
cough epidemic unless the mothers
of the state more closely confine chill
dren who have contracted the disease,
Dr. John ]. Sippy. state epidemiolo-
gist, announced today.
Doctor Sippy pointed out that he
has received reports that children suf-
fering from the disease had been TAX
en- into motion picture theaters. trains
and other public places. This, he
said, is in direct violation of the state
quarantine regulations, which provide
that such cases must be isolated. I'm
less the disease is isolated, he assert
ed, his department is obliged to take
steps to prosecute parents.
One hundred and eighty-three
deaths from whooping cough were re-
ported to the state bureau of vital
statistics last year. OF these 16S were
of children less than two years of age
and of the 1900 cases reported to the
bureau last year, 800 were those of
children less than five years old
"Of course all the deaths from
whooping cough in the state last year
were not included in that list" DR..
Sippy said, because a number were
reported as being from bronchial
pneumonia. However, the statistics
show that if Kansas mothers can pre-
vent their children contracting the dis
ease until after they are five years old,
the chances of their dying in the event
they contract it later are reduced
ninety-nine per cent

Scientific Methods Pay.
The realization that the employ
ment of scientific methods on the
farm brings prosperity is sending
more young men-and girls-to the
State Agricultural college each year.
The experts" at this state institution
are telling of the importance of doing
away with the scrubs" and procuring
high grade live stock for the farms
The advice is having its effect. The
quality of the live stock in Shawnee
county and other sections of the state
is being constantly improved. The ex-
hibitS at the Big Free Fair, Topeka,
September 1917, will reveal this fact

Use the Tithing System
All the evangelical or church work
ers for the Adventists are supported
by the state conference and not by the
churches they serve. The tithing sys-
tenn was early adopted by this people
and has been found very successful.
They believe this TO be the Bible plan
for the support of the gospel and that
it relieves the officials of the church
from the embarrassment of engaging
in questionable means sometimes
resorted to for raising money for
church work. This church paid ap-
proximateIy $1,000 in tithes last year
and for home and foreign missions
$500. making an average of tithes and
offerings of nearly SIS per member.
The aim set by the denomination is
an average of 20 cents per week or
5000 per year for foreign missions
from each member. The two thou
sand and more Adventists in Kansas
reached this goal in 1914

nomination is 4 comparatively small

some of the points of their faith may
be of interest. The following is an
