Wheat the ProbIem Now.

On his return from Washington,
where he had a conference with Her.
bert c. Hoover, Dean f, b. Mumford,
state food administrator for Missouri,
issued an appeal to the people of the
state not to slack in their efforts to
save wheat. Every person should real
ize, he said, the situation as to flour
and wheat is grave and each person
now has a great responsibility and
opportunity for service. Dean Mum
ford pointed out that the normal ex-
port surplus of wheat each year is 20
million bushels, and that the United
States had already exported this year
10 million bushels in excess of that
amount. This expectation, he said,
must not be discontinued at any cost,
and 1t can be done only by wheatless
days, as many of them as possible, by
the people of this country and Of

Advice on WhoOping Cough

uNiC vi WuOOpAlS OOuSH
Whooping cough is a contagi-
GUS disease caused by infection
of the air passages by a small
germ. 1t exists during all sea-
sons of the year but is most
prevalent during the winter and
spring months, according to DR..
o. F. Bradford of the University
of Missouri. Whooping cough is
neutrality-suspicious., more 50 to
children than grown persons.
Unlike most diseases, whooping
cough is contagious to infants.
The general rule is that the
the younger the child, the more
dangerous the disease.
Whooping cough requires from
seven to twenty-one days to
take the disease after exposure.
1t begins as a cold does, with a
watery discharge from the nose,
the eyes sometimes water, and
the patient sneezes and has a
hacking cough. Early in the dis
ease, vomiting is common, es-
pecially in young children. La
ter on coughing becomes more
violent and the "whoop" is char
acteristic.
Whooping cough is a serious
disease, and no child should be
willfully exposed in order that
ne may take it and be over with
it. The dangers of whooping
cough lie in the diseases which
may follow. The most common
of these is bronchitis with pneu-
monia. Assesses in the ear are
common following whoopine
cough.
Whooping cough patients re-
quire fresh air, preferably warm
fresh air. Plenty of water should
be given. The diet should con.
sist Of soft, rich foods such as
milk, butter, mashed potatoes
custards and ice cream. Very lit.
tie meat should be given. Care

SANTIAGO, Cuba, March S.--Four hun

The cane fields and the Union sugar
mill at San Luis. ten miles north Of

san Luis are greatly alarmed and have
built barricades in the streets, expecting

The Americans were landed from the

The people Of Santiago have resained

been no fighting here as a result OF the
arrival OF the American guard.
Heavy fighting Is reported In the
vicinity Of Palma Soriano. Many civilians
are leaving the city to join the Con-

Col. Betancourt of the Menocal forces
Is preparing to attack Santiago. It is
reported the Palma mill has been de-

EXTRA SESSION
CALL AT ONCE
No Doubt Remains About
Speedy Passage of Armed
Neutrality Measure.

WASHINGTON. March s.--A call for an
extra session of Congress will he issued
by the President within the next few
days. The action of the Senate to-day
in adopting n cloture rule makes this
certain.
The overwhelming vote by which the
Senate resolved to abandon its tradi-
tional rule OF unlimited debate is ac-
cepted By the Administration as an in
dorsement OF the Presidents views Of the
futility of depending upon an extra ses-
sion To deal with the present emergency
so long as such a rule existed in the
Senate. Moro than this 1t is regarded
as rejecting the sentiment of the coun-
try on the necessity of arming American
ships. No doubt now remains in Admin
istration circles of the speedy passage
of an armed neutrality measure As soon
as Congress shall have been called to-
gether.
But whether the President can afford
to wait until Congress shall have clothed
him with the power of arming ships is IA
question which is being much discussed
