YOUR HEALTH
Eczema Of the Scalp in Infants.
By ANDREW r. cURR1HR, NJ, D.

This disease has different degrees
OF severity and may even be asso-
ciated with conditions which end
fatally, but that is not the usual re-
suit.
Any kind of a baby, fat or lean,
plump and emaciated, may have it,
but it seems to have a preference to
those who have catarrhal troubles,
who are %scrofulous, as it used to be
called, Of who have ricketts,, indiges-
ton, anaemia or fever of various
kinds.
A baby's scalp, in fact, his entire
skin, is richly provided with hair
follicles, sweat glands and ~sebaceous
glands, his blood current moves more
swiftly than it does in an adult,
hence the decided tendency to elimi-
nate waste or poisonous material
through the skin.
The disease may occur at any
period Of infancy, before or after
weaving, and the pain and soreness
of teething doubtless aggravates it in
many cases.
There is probably a germ which
causes it, at least in some cases, and
it may be associated with the itch
and with vermin of different species.
It also has a relation to filthiness
and neglect of the nose, ears and
eyes and with the irritating saliva
OF q dirty mouth.
Other auses are constipation, in
digestion, prolonged exposure to the
suns rays or to the heat of a badly
ventilated room.
Suppose, for instance, a mothers
breasts dry up or her milk is of bad
quality, or nursing is annoying and
burdensome and the baby is weaned.
He is fed with some kind of patent
food, and pretty soon his bowels get
out of order.
Sometimes they are constipated,
but more often they are loose and
the stools Shiny and offensive, espe-
clally If the weather is hot.
Then an eruption appears on the
entire body, on the face and scalp,
or on the scalp alone.
At first this eruption is composed
Of red dots or points; in a few days
they contain a fluid; and a little
the fluid becomes purulent, the
points of the eruption run together,
and we soon have a number of crusts
or scsbs, or perhaps q sheet of scabs
covering the entire scalp.
The itching is continuous night
and day. and there IS constant

A PATRIOTIC SALARY CRATER

President Kerr, Of the Oregon Agricultural College,
has been making patriotic speeches throughout the state,
and as a dispute arose between the Corvallis papers as to
just what he said, the Gazette-Times prints the follow
ing excerpts from his speech which it says were read to
the editor by DR.. Kerr on his return from his speaking
tour. Note its lofty sentiment and the righteous indigna-
ton expressed b. the highly moral leader in educational
lines and then compare his words with his acts. The eX-
cerpt reads:
"The fact is, and know what am talking about, there
has been an inexcusable delay in ship building in this
country, by those who want to p~rofteer and get a fortune
over night, and by those on the other hand who WANT
TO HOLD UP EMPLOYERS AND THE Gov
EMINENT THAT THEY LIKEWISE COULD GET.
RICH / N A DAY. Would to God that the government
of this country could develop overnight machinery such
That every ~profteer could be forced to the front and put
in the trenches"
This is the same Kerr who last year put up a job to
have his salary as president OF the Q. A. {. increased
from $1,000 to $4,000. AS a matter OF fact the salary was
increased to only $8,400, but at the time it was understood
a residence was to be built for President Kerr which
would make up the other $500. The story of this infamous
graft is familiar to all Capital Journal readers, and should
be familiar to everybody in the state, but for some reason
best known to the editors or business managers of the
Oregonian, and the Oregon Journal neither of those
papers printed the story and they refused to print it
presumably for the purpose Of preventing it gaining
publicity. To this extent they stood in with Kerr and the
board of regents, of whom by the way Governor Witty
combe is one, in assisting the robhing of the taxpayers
of the state of $1,000 a year. 1t was a cunnlnglyI
devised scheme and so far Kerr has got away with the
goods. Here is a man who having held up his employers,
the state Of Oregon, for the purpose of profteering, and
who was caught with the goods, and who so far as the
public knows at least is drawing the increase of salary
granted him by.a truculent board, went travelling over the
state telling the taxpayers that he would like to have
the government develop over night machinery that would
send him to the trenches" 1t is evident he was lying
when he made that statement just as he was when
through the. Oregonian he conveyed to the people of Ore
gon the idea that the state of Kansas agricultural college
had offered him $4,000 a year to accept its presidency
when as a matter of fact it had never thought Of making
place. On top of this, too, it was shown by the Kansas
records that the salary of the president of the Kansas col
Iege was only $4,000 or $1,000 less than Kerr was getting
before he won out at his contemplate little game of
profteering.

Fifteen thousand prisoners had been
taken by the British, Italian and

vance across the Piave which for the
third time in one year is the scene of
a desperate battle. This time how.
ever, the tables are turned against
the Austrians who are steadily being
pressed back from the eastern bank
of the river. = .r
The battle now has been going on
for five days and has been marked
by the desperate resistance of the
Austrians. They have directed their
artillery fire against pontoon bridges
thrown across the Piave and their
bombing airplanes also /lave caused
trouble for the Allies. The Allies not
only have had to battle against the
swift river current, but also to con-
tend with the renewal of the pom
toons and foot bridges damaged by
the Austrians.
Once across the river the Allies
have had to overcome strong Austri-

posts. ....

ton at home and the efforts of their
government to arrange an armistice.
