are in the care of an intelligent person
who will prevent contact with well
children. In some cities, the wearing
of an arm band marked "whooping
cough" has been tried with apparent
good results. This prevents other
children from coming in close contact
with sick ones. The closer the con-
tact, the greater the danger.
A vaccine made from the germ is
quite extensively employed. From
three to four injections are 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 results.
While the matter is not yet considered
settled, no harm can come from the
use of the vaccine, and it has produc-
ed such favorable results wherever
tried, that its use is to be recommends
ed, especially since no other satisfac.
tory form of treatment has yet beer
devised. While certain drugs ap-
parently have a favorable influence
none has been found which will STOP
the attack, and much harm is otter
done by too much drugging.

Efficiency?

Officials of the railroad brother
hoods contend that if the railroads
were compelled to pay overtime
rates, they would see to it that trains
were sent over the road Oh schedule
time. The proposition, therefore, is
that the rate of speed be raised to
an average of twelve and one-half
miles, so that runs of 100 miles may
be made in eight hours instead of in
ten. The same rate now paid for ten
hours would be paid for eight.
Where it possible to increase the
speed as the union men say, the
change would not affect the railroads
to such great extent, so far as road
service is concerned. But is it pos
sible to so increase the speed? Rail
road officials say it is not, or it would
be done now as an operating econ
omy. IL trains are unnecessarily de-
layed, it is an admission Of inetficiency
somewhere. American railroad men
are regarded as being the most ef-
ficient in the world. When England,
after the outbreak OF the European
war, established a record for the rapid
transportation of troops to embarking
points, it was an American railroad
man who handled the traffic. He gave
staid old England lesson in the mat
ter of handling trains.
From business point of view 1t
would not seem reasonable that trains
are needlessly held up. Anyone must
see that it is economical to get trains
over the tracks as peedily as is con-
sistent with safe operation. The pay
ment Of overtime rates to train crews
would hardly appear to be the remedy
for slow operation.

Whooping Cough.

Whooping cough derives its name
from the peculiar inspiratory whoopI
following a paroxsym of coughing.
The disease occurs in extensive epi-
denies, apparently it is disease of
fairly modern origin. At least we do
not find it certainly described by an
cient writer's.
1t is caused by small germ which
is thrown out in the act of coughing,
consequently it is spread most often by
direct contact of one child with an
other. The germ may, however, be
carried from one person to another
by handkerchiefs, toys, drinking cups,
roller towels and other objects which
become infected with the secretions
of the respiratory tract. 1t is said
that some of the lower animals, par
ticularly the dog, are occasionally in
fected with whooping cough, and the
disease may be spread in this manner.
1t is contagious from the appearance
of the earliest symptoms, and the
danger of contagion is greater during
the early stages, although it exists
throughout the disease and during
convalescence. After exposure, a
period of from one to two weeks
elapses before the appearance of
symptoms.
People generally do not realize the
dangerous character of whooping
cough. The death rate in the United
States is about 10000 a year-more
than from scarlet fever. 1t is par
ticularly dangerous to children under
8 years of age and to those who are
tuberculous.
The principle Of prevention is sim
pie. Since the disease is spread en-
tirely by the secretions from the
respiratory tract, prevention consists
in keeping other children from com
ing in contact with these. Isolation
of patients is necessary. Toys, hand
kerchiefs, ETC., should not be passed
from sick child to we'll ones. Sick
children should not be allowed to go
to school, theateFg or public assemblies
Of any sort. Owing to the long dura-
ton Of an attack of whooping cough
and the fact that children are seldom
i'll enough to be confined to bed, isola-
tion is particularly hard to carry out.
An abundance Of fresh air helps in
the treatmentand there is no objection
to children going out provided they

The Preparedness Program.

The taxpayers are now able to sit
in Judgment upon the preparedness
program. The army experts ask for
500 millions for the first year and 319
millions per year thereafter. This is
for the army.
The Navy board, according to Ad-
miral Fletcher (see press dispatches
printed March 9thl asks for one bill
lion and half to put the navy in
proper shape, and then 76O millions
per year thereafter to keep itup. This
IS not for an ''incomparably" greater
navy, such as the president asked for,
but simply for navy that will EQUAL
any other navy afoat by 1925, and it
is for navy to equal other navies as
they are NOW mot as they will be
after we spur them on by our new
policy.
In other words, the Army board
and Navy board now demand that the
annual appropriations for army ana
navy shall be MORE THAN QUAD
RUPLED, and that we shall perma
nently spend OVER ONE BILLION
per year on army and navy. THIS is
MORE THAN TWICE THE NET IN
COME RECEIVED BY ALL the
farmers of the United States from al
their crops-and yet the jingoes think
that any man who objects to the pro
gram is a "white- -livered coward."-

IRONTON. MO, THURSDAY, MARCH 80, NUMBER 49,
Big Peach Crop in Sight
lThe West Plains Gazette.l


Present indications point to the fact
that the great Howell and Oregon
county peach belt will have an i'm
mense crop of peaches this year. Re-
ports from Koshkonong, Brandsville,
Olden, Pomona and other peach
shipping stations state that the peach
buds remain uninjured and conditions
are favorable for good crop.
The critical period has not yet been
passed. Early frosts in April are
much feared by the growers. While
February has always been feared by
fruit men, there is much danger in
April, after the peaches have bloomed
and the buds are in their infancy.
| According to W. E. Grafton, of
Brandsville, manager of the Ozark
Fruit Farm, the largest peach orchard
in the entire KoshkonongB Brands
vile district, the crop this year will
not be as large as that of 1915. The
buds have been swatted to some ex-
tent by the cold weather early in the
winter and there is no wailing over
this fact.
When the trees are loaded to their
fullest capacity with buds and ma
jority of the buds mature and grow
peaches, it is necessary to have men
go through the orchards with poles
and thin out the peaches. If this is
not done the trees are over loaded
and the fruit does not attain large
size. Props must be placed under the
heavily laden limbs to support them,
and this makes more expense for the
grower. If Jack Frost gets in his
work and thins out the buds by nature,
the grower is happy.
Paul Evans, director of the State
Fruit Experiment Station at Mountain
Grove, visited Koshkonong last week
and inspected the trees on several
orchards. He found enough live buds
to insure big crop of peaches. Mr..
Evans says that the fruit gives
promises of being very large, especial
ly if the buds are thinned out.
