HEALTH GUARDS
Whooping Cough.

Whooping cough derives its
name from the peculiar inspir-
atory whoop following a paro-
xysm Of coughing. The disease
occurs in extensive epedimics
apparently uninfuenced by
weather or season, although its
epedimics are most severe and
frequent in cold climates. APP
parently it is a disease of fairly
modern origin. At least we dc
not find it certainly described by
ancient writer's.
1t is caused by a small germ
which is thrown out in the act
of coughing, consequently it il
spread most often by direct
contact of one child with another
The germ may, however, b.
carried from one person t
another by handkerchiefs, toy,
drinking cups, roller towels anC
other objects which become in
fected with the secretions O.
the respiratory tract. 1t is salt
that some of the lower animals
particularly the dog, are occas
ionally infected with whoopin,
cough, and the disease may b
spread in this manner. 1t i
contagious from the appearance
of the earliest symptoms, an,
the danger of contagion i
greater during the early stages
although it exists Throughout
the disease and during conval
essence. After exposure, a pc
Rod of from one to two week
elapses before the appearance o
symptoms.
People generally do not reaI
ize the dangerous character 0

TINY TWINS SAVE A SHIP
But for Them the Skipper Says, the
seamen Would Have Aban-
doned Hope.

"'Twas they who saved the ship!"
The mate of the little steam
schooner Centralia, which limped
into port with the marks Of wintry
gale and stormy sea upon her, point
ed to two childish figures on the lit
tie deck aft, the San Francisco
Chronicle states.
"But for them we would probably
have given up the fight. There were
times when it appeared as if the
storm would not let go its clutch,
and then it was that we worked like
Trojans at the pumps, for young
lives must be saved"
The little tots who instilled en-
ergy and fortitude into the exhaust
ed crew of the waye-lashed vessel
we're Charley and Marguerite Burk-
hardt, ~six-year-old twins, who, with
their mother, Mrs. c. Burkhardt of
Hoquiam, were passengers.
Drifting helplessly for 16 hours
broadside to the sea, during which
she covered rs miles while her steer
ing gear was broken, her engines us
ing their power to pump water from
her frerooms and hold, the Centralia
had the worst experience Of any YES
sci that was off the Oregon coast in
the ~sou'easter recently. When the
vessel made a safe haven her wireless
was crippled and 100000 feet Of
lumber cargo gone, having been car
ried into the sea with a litter Of
wreckage and torn rigging.

scarlet fever. 1t is particularly
dangerous to children under 3
years of age and to those who
are tuberculous.
The principles Of prevention
are simple. Since the disease is
spread entirely by the secretions
from the respiratory tract, pre-
vention consists in keeping other
children from coming in contact
with these. Isolation of patients
is necessary. Toys, handker-
chiefs, ETC., should not be passed
from a sick child to we'll ones.
Sick children should not be al
lowed to go to school, theatres,
or public assemblies Of any sort.
Owing to the long duration Of
an attack of whooping cough and
the fact that children are sci
dom i'll enough to be confined to
bed, isolation is particularly
hard to carry out, An album
dance of fresh air helps in the
treatment and there is no oh
lection to children going pro
vided they are in the care of an
intelligent person who will pre-
vent contact with well children.
In some cities, the wearing Of
an arm band marked "whooping
cough" has been tried with az
parent good results. This pre-
vents other children from COM
ing in close contact with sick
ones. The closer the contact, the
greater the danger.
A vaccine made from the germ
is quite extensively employee,
From three to four injections are
t, given, and in a great majority
of cases, according to reports,
the disease is prevented. The
, same vaccine is used for treat
ment with extremely good re-
; suits wherever tried, that its
use is to be recommended, es-
; pecially since no other satisfac-
/, tory form of Treatment has yet
: been devised. While certain
drugs have a favorable influence,
: none has found which will stop
: the attack, and much harm is
often done by too much drug
ging.

Drag Roads Now!

The road drag should be used
as early and as often as condi-
tons are right for it. AS the
frost goes out of the ground,
ruts form which should be kept
so full they have no chance to
get deep. A well worked road
will shed the spring rains so well
and save so much work later
that early dragging pays better
than the old "stitch in time
1t saves much of the discomfort
of travelling over muddy roads
too.-M. A. R. Kelly, Missouri.
