HEALTH HINTS

Four diseases of childhood are close.

They are scarlet fever, diphtherta,
measles and whooping cough.
II Is possible that housekeeping
stirs up the lurking germs of some OF
these diseases, particularly whoopips
cough. The body's resistance, among
children as well as adults, is at its
lowest ebb at this season. Infection
is usually easier than at any other
time.
Old-fashioned mothers used to .pur.

they might have EN- and he over with

more deaths than scarlet fever, while
it had frequent and fatal complications

Mrs. p. T. F.: What should ! use

A good home remedy for burns is
Carron oil, a mixture Of equal parts Of

Arc you a victim Of eye strain or other
eye weaknesses! II so, you will be glad
to know that according to DIR. Lewis
there is real hope for you. Many whose
