"Open Your Windows:

(By Ronald Campbell, Author of
Air and Health"
As stranger and a sojourner in the
United States and as a specialist in
open air treatment, | have been much
impressed by the American love of in
door atmospheric conditions, which,
to an Englishman, accustomed to fresh
air, are almost intolerable.
| have travelled in most countries
of the world, and on the European
continent | have frequently met with
a similar affection for vitiated air, but
| do not think that / have ever found
an affection for it so unanimous and
fervent as in the United States. In
private houses, in hotels, in offices, in
shops, in railway trains, it is a case
of continued doldrums, and the dol
drums are warm and dirty doldrums.
On my first arrival in this country
| travelled for some fourteen hours in
an American train, sharing a compart-
ment with eighty other persons. Dur
ing the whole time not a single win
dow was opened. At first the air was
dry; but in a few hours at that tenn
perature it was saturated with mois-
ture of human bodies and foul with
organic emanation from human skins
and lungs. 1t was warm and wet,
stagnant, malOdorous, and to me, ac-
customed to pure air, it became quite
offensive.
How often the air must have been
breathed and rebreathed | should not
care to calculate. | can only hope
that not many in the compartment
were suffering from influenza and
consumption and other infectious dis
eases.
Before I reached my journeys end,
| had a severe headache, suffered from
nausea, and was inclined to faint. /
looked around me, butmy fellow trav-
elers, though little moist and flushed,
seemed quite comfortable and content

yeled at the physiological tolerance
of my companions at this hygienic
ignorance, at their esthetic indiffer-
ence.
The Americans are certainly a virile
and energetic people, but residence in
i stagnant dollhouse atmosphere must
in some measure lower their vitality
and impair their power for work, and
it also must render them much more
liable to infective diseases. a warm,
stagnant atmosphere, be it noted, not
only serves to incubate germs, but
also diminishes the activity of all vital
functions and thus doubly favors in
lection.

Suggestions Which Will Prove
Invaluable If Followed.
Beware The Wolf.

If your child has running nose, it
is time to get suspicious. If your
child's playmate has one, keep your
child away from his. Measles, the
wolf in sleeps clothing, is abroad in
the state and he seems to be exceed
ingly ravenous Milwaukee has nearly
600 cases at the present time. During
the latter part of December an cpl
demic of measles in La Crosse doubled
that city's annual record for contag-
ious disease, raising the figures COW
ering cases of all contagious diseases
for over IL months from Is to 157.
Similar epidemics prevail in many sec
tiOns of the state.
Constant vigilance is necessary if you
are to safeguard your child from the
disease which in it's complications and
consequences is one of the most fatal
disease of childhood. Measles, like
the poor, we have with us always at
all seasons of the year, although most
prevalent during the colder months. 1t
is the most difficult of all epidemics
to control because of the fact that the
most infectious period is before the
appearance of the rash.
That is why running nose is just
cause for suspicion. 1t is the first
danger signal and one that should be
disregarded at any time but especially
when there is a known epidemic. The
period from exposure until the appear
ance of the rash varies from to Is
days, the rule being IA. The first
symptoms are chilliness, running Of
the nose, redness of eyes and lids,
sensitiyeness of the eyes to the light,
sneezing and a dry cough. The rash
generally appears first on cheeks and
forehead the small pimples rapidly
extending into blotches which spread
over the neck, chest and the entire
body After two or three days the
rash begins to fade and the patient be-
gins to peel, the scales being so fine
that they are scarcely noticeable. The
catarrhal symptoms disappear and the
dangerous convalescent period sets
in.
During the convalescent period the
patient is especially susceptible to
tuberculosis, which is a consequence
of the disease most to be feared. Bron-
cho-pneumonia Immediately following
an attack of measles, is also response
bic for many deaths. Chronic kidney
diseases, bronchitis, Inflammation of
the eyes, deafness, and mastoid disease
are among other after effects which
make measles so deadly.
Don't expose your child needless
~ Don't let your child expose other
children. In case he gets the disease,
keep him warm in bed and give him
good nursing care in well ventilated
room. Don't think the danger is over
when the rash begins to disappear.
Convalescence is a critical time and
the results of neglect are not always
manifest. They appear in
later life.

BEWARE INCIPIENT
STAGE TUBERCULOSIS
A Slight AiIment May Presage
Serious Developments.
Evolution of tuberculosis Germ Des-
cribed In Personal Experience
of Young Lady.

Sibyl Norris league, of Blooming
dale, Ind, says in the Journal of The
Out Door Life that when she was a
school girl she was i'll for several
weeks with walking typhoid fever
followed later in the year by pleurisy.
Several years later a severe cold
brought on tuberculosis" for which
she was put under treatment. During
this prolonged treatment which finally
sent her as last chance to sanator-
ium, where, for the first time, she
really began to know and understand
about tuberculosis" she learned many
things besides how to get we'll. The
most important of these was that the
so-called walking typhoid" and the
pleurisy were the first manifestations
of her tuberculosis, and that the cold
which was supposed to have brought
on" tuberculosis was in reality but a
part of a moderately advanced stage
of consumption.
If Miss leagues experience were an
unusual one there would be no point
about telling of it here But because
it is being repeated over and over
again each day in Wisconsin, it has
personal interest for every person who
has been "out of sorts" for some time.
Miss league, like many other pa
tients who have learned after years
spent in battl ing for life, is resent
full over the waste of time that result
ed from the failure to recognize the
disease at a time when recovery would
almost certainly have been speedy.
The delay in prompt recognition of
the true cause of persistent cough,
slight feverishness, unwarranted tired
feeling and prolonged indigestion" is
too frequently the cause of prolonged
invalidism and of death itself.
The cause of such delay is some
times due to the slackness on the part
of physician, sometimes to sIackness
on the part of the patient and an un-
willingness to face an unpleasant
truth.
tuberculosis is a disease very fire.
quently durable in the earliest stages
and provided diagnosis is made before
much Roadway is made, need cause
the patient no terror. 1t is the height
of folly, first, to hide the truth, and
second, to attempt to cheat the truth
by shutting ones eyes to it when it is
established
Consumption could be well-nigh
wiped out of Wisconsin" in a few
years if patients would but secure
early diagnosis from competent physi
clans and then fifht for a cure as thew
do for success in any other kind of eff
fort But it mustn OF be thought that
it is easy to recognize tuberculosis in
its earliest stages. One of the most
competent specialists in diagnosis tells
me that he finds this the most difficult
work he is called upon to do.

Of Miss league as told by herself,

tension Division at Madison, and it
will be sent without further cost,
