nsHuRr SLEEVE" JUSTICE NEEDED.

Perhaps it reveals shocking lack OF Information
about French, and Belgian legal methods; and
proper methods Of procedure but we can't see any
great obstacles to the bringing to justice OF the
perpetrators Of German atrocities.
These crimes, fer the most part were commit
ted on French and Belgian soil. II it were Am
erican soil one good prosecuting attorney could
get enough indictments in week to fill the jails
OF France with German Junkers, and we know
of several thousand ordinary Yankee sergeants
who would undertake to select their own details
OF a dozen doughboys ana put the former
kaiser himself in handouts
These '"shirt sleeve" methods Of justice may
! be very crude in dealing with such distinguished
s(?) criminals, but the average American would
like to see beginning made. It's going to take
a year or two OF rapid work to round up all
the criminals and the trail gets colder with every
day that passes. We feel quite neutral toward
athese murderers. We don't care wether they are
hanged by French and Belgian civil authorities
after a civil trial shot by French and Belgian
soldiers after a court martial. but in our humble
opinion, the way to arrest murderer is to ar

In the glorious untrammelled lexicon of Bolshe-

course starvation, famine, pestilence and utter
misery are necessary results of wholesale re-
fusal to work and do anything but listen to few

are presented with the glorious possibility Of
Sitting the throat of a Bourgeois?

think the "demonstration' of the German school

ON CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS.

In order to have a wholly satisfactory and ade-
quate observance OF Christmas there should be
available at least six healthy young Americans
ranging in age from year to II years
Then there should be a Christmas tree OF gem
erous proportions, the proper degree Of uncer-
tainty about the age nativity general appear
ance and habitat Of ST. Nicholas; the mystery of
secret shopping and hidden packages; some
holeproof hosiery of-ahem-praper size; can
dies; mistletoe; Christmas carols; the nightly
reading of "The Night Before Christmas" a tur-
key that has led a peaceful, we'll fed existence;
more or less cash capital; and few other con-
comitants which will suggest themselves.
OF course many Of us do not possess the first
great requirement and many lack some of the
others, but excellent substitute may be found
by the first class. Undoubtedly the Salvation
army, or the Glad Tidings Mission or the Public
Welfare can supply the name of a family which
has the first requirement and none OF the others,
BY little cooperation two families will expert
ence some OF the joys of Christmas where Meth
er would otherwise. Perhaps the woman who
does your family washing or who scrubs out your
office. could give you some valuable pointers
on a good way to celebrate Christmas, II you
took the trouble to inquire
You get out of Christmas about what you put

We don't want one rich man to donate it. We
don't want a dozen wealthy men to bear the ex-

Your Health and It's Care
WhooPING COUGH.
BY DR.. r. H. Bishop Jr.

Whooping cough occurs more frequently than
any other infectious disease during the first six
months of life. majority of deaths from the
disease occur among children under two years
Of age. An attack Of Whooping cough in
healthy child of four years older rarely
proves fatal. -.l ....-.-
In a delicate child Of any age especially one
with latent tuberculosis, and also in the aged
whooptng cough is always to be dreaded. Many
thousands of deaths occur each year from
plications or after effects of this disease, from
broncho- -pneum onia in the winter and spring and
diarrheal disease in the warm months, con-
vulsions and tuberculosis in all seasons.
Positive recognition Of whooping cough in its
earliest stages Is almost impossible. case in
the catarrhal stage cannot be differentiated
from a common cold except possibly through
difficult and uncertain cultural procedures. I'm
til a child 'whoops" the disease is usually not
recognized and the parent often waits until the
paroxysms become violent before calling a ply
sician. BY this time others have been exposed
to the disease during it's most infectious period.
The avoidance OF whoopng cough is the most
rational and important step in its control. ESv-
ery cough and head cold should be regarded as
suspicious until its real nature is ascertained
lowed to associate with other children. In
fected children should be isolated from other
children After two or three weeks the patient
can usually safely appear in public when wear
ing a distinguishing mark, such as an arm
band
In the treatment of whooping cough all hy-
gienic measures should be employed, especially
the allowance of fresh air. Many things have
been recommended in this disease, but none
huve done more than somewhat relieve the
paroxysms. being antispasmodic and sedative.
