MOUSE BITE KILLS BABY
Slight Wound Infects Washington, D.
c., Infant With Blood Poisoning
Coroner Warns People.

There are occasional instances
where rodents, both the house rat and
mouse, have been known to- invade
the bed or crib occupied by young chill
dren, especially infants when left
alone sleeping Such an incident is
recorded in the death of William Web
ster Jackson, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William W. Jackson OF Washington,
whose death is reported in the vital
statistics as due to a virulent blood
poisoning from the infection of
mouse bite ON the child's neck.
One night while the infant, only two
side his mothers bed a mouse crawled
into the crib and, biting the baby on
the neck, inflicted what YVES then
thought to have been an Insignificant
wound. A simple application was made
to the scratch or wound inflicted by
the little rodent, and nothing more
was thought OF It for the time being.
However, the bite resulted In an in
lection which spread SO rapidly that
physicians found 1t impossible to save
the child's life. A high fever cevel-
oped, and the child died.
Coroner ]. Ramsay hewitt, who in
vestigated the case. is satisfied that
the child's death was directly trace
able to the bite of the mouse. In com.
menting upon the case he said:
1T is a fact widely known among
( medical men that rats and mice carry
disease, and householders should make
every effort to rid their houses OF them
as a matter of personal and public
! protection. Cats, likewise, are a men
ace to public health, carrying germs
of disease to a marked degree. The
determination OF rats and mice should
be undertaken by the local and public
health service"

HAVING WHAT OTHERS HAVE

We all know that the desire to
have what others have causes more |
ruin than almost any other social in
stinct. We must go where others go,
we hust do what others do, we must |
dress like others, we must eat like
others, we must travel like others. |
How often we do things quite indif-
ferent to our own tastes and wishes
simply because others do them!
This tyranny OF the notion OF 9TH
ers is especially marked in democrat
ic society, where everyone is striv-
ing to get up in the world, and to
have his wife get up in the world,
and to have her show it by dressing
and entertaining as others do, or
little better.
Most of all we are anxious not to
have our children in any way out
done by the children of others. II
Maude next door takes violin lessons
at five dollars a lesson, our Gladys
must pay five, or six. If Maude's
brother, Jim, has a motorcycle, our
Tom must also have one. The pro-
cess too often lands Gladys and Tom
in the poorhouse, where to be sure,
they will find good many others
only they are the others we do not
wish to initiate. Therefore, prudent
and thrifty parents never tire of
counselling their children, do not
consider what others have. Govern
your outlay by your income and have
only those things that you can de-
Gently afford. BY far the most prec-
ious and least imitable thing that
others-a few others-have, is COM
plete independence" Parents of that
type often deny their children what
they could easily afford simply to
root out the everlasting disposition
to copy the tastes and expenditure of
others.
The principle may bv carried too far
and cause unhappiness, that unhappi-
ness Of child which Is hugh in its
desolation. however trivial it may ap.
pear to those who are older and wis.
er. Do not let your child be serviIe
ly initiative of others, but do not LEI
him-and still more her-be odd, be
different, be out of touch with hi
little word in those minor things tina
count more for success in life thar
many persons realize. Watch child
ren's fashions and follow them
When you buy a new toy or . new i'm
plement of sport, buy one that will b.
right, not one that perhaps costs ;
few cents les that will be Knocked a
with the bitter mockery that children
practice and feel. You were youni
once yourself. Go right back Their
and try to save your children som
of the unnecessary misery that yo
felt. There will be enough necessar
misery that you cannot save them.
AS the main rule of life, havin
what others have is pitiful AS a col
rection for individual oddities and Iii
tie tactics awkwardness, it is a ust
full guide not to be neglected.

other places. Large crowds met
him at the various places and are
enthusiastic in giving him flat

almost unanimous vote. Tangi-

support, but If reports from many

active canvass OF the district, and
reports from all points are very
encouraging. A meeting was
held for him at Canaan, in this
. irish, last week, where he ad-
dressed a large crowd of voters Of
that community. He has made
speeches at several other places
in this parish, and also at vari
Gus points of the other parishes
of this district. He spent several
days in Bogalusa in the interest
Of his candidacy short time ago.
1t is very pleasing to note that
the public men who come to
Washington Parish always have
words of praise for Representa-.
tive Johnson, which indicates his
high standing with the Legislators
of this state. They know him by
his good record in the House OF
Representatives at Baton Rouge,
and they recognize his ability.
Mr.. johnson is now seeking to
be promoted to the State Senate.
and with his experience as a leg.
islstor and personal acquaintance
with the members of the legisla L.
ture and public affairs, he will be
in position to launch into active
leadership in the senate as he has
done in the house. in the past few
years. Efficient service in the
legislature does not depend alto.
