IS A VERY FATAL DISEASE
CEREBRO.SPlNAL MENINGITIS

Although cerebro spinal meningitis
is highly fatal disease, it is not
overly contagious and epidemics af.
ten take place in the country rather
than in the cities, says the State
Board Of Health. 1t also points out
the fact that children are attacked
more frequently than adults, yet the
latter are highly susceptible, especial
ly when they live amid over-crowded
conditions, such as often prevails in
military camps.
Attacks of cerebro spinal menin-
gifts come on suddenly. The malady
is accompanied by headaches, pains in
the back and limbs, chills and vomit-
ing. Also there is a stiffness, or rig
idity of the muscles of the neck and
back to the extent that the patients
body may become so stiff that it can
be lifted dixie board Tremblings
or spasms Of the muscles of the arms
and legs often come on; and delirium
and stupor prevails. The eyes are
unduly sensitive to light in cases of
this malady and the patient may
squint his eyes the pupils of which
are dilated. In many cases a per-
ceptible rash occurs on the body.
This disease is caused by a specific
germ known as the meningo.cocus
which is not found outside of the hui
man body and which dies in a very
few hours If exposed to sunlight. In
ninety per cent Of the patients this

germ is found in the nose and throat;
and it is spread by victims and heal
thy carriers, who acquire the germ
and never themselves develop the dis
ease, through discharges from these
organs.
Prevention of its spreading is a
special charge of health authorities
in communities where numbers Of
cases break out. Fifty per cent Of
the persons exposed to cerebro spinal
meningitis become carriers; and it is
said that there are ten of these car
riers for every case of the disease.
Victims of this disease should be
isolated in we'll ventilated room,
which has been stripped of all car

posed persons should first be quaran-
tined until cultures taken from their

negative for the germs. All dis
charges of the patient should be

them should be boiled after using. 1t
is not necessary to disinfect the room
at termination of the illness, as an
abundance of sunlight and fresh air
will soon destroy the disease germs
The high fatality of cerebro spinal
meningitis is emphasized by the fact
that death occurs in from seventy to
ninety per cent of cases where the
patient has not been given serum
treatment. BY an early diagnosis,

DECIDED ON VERDICT BY LOT
Hawaiian Jury Couldn't Agree and
to Settle the Matter Drew
Slips From Hat.

Substituting the goddess of chance
for the goddess of justice, jury in
the Honolulu circuit court few days
ago drew lots to decide the fate of
IL Chinese charged with gambling.
The incident is without precedent in
the annals of the courts of Hawaii,
says the Wailuku (H. I.) Times. The
jurors were discharged by the court
and their action branded as ''illegal,
inexcusable and highly reprehensible."
According to the story told in court,
the jury could not agree. Tired of the
prolonged and fruitleSS efforts to
reach verdict, it was suggested that
the balloting be abandoned and that
they draw lots. Twenty-four slips Of
paper were prepared, II bearing the
word "Guilty" and u "Not guilty"
The slips were shaken up and drawn
from a hat by the jurors, who had
agreed that the first II slips of one
kind drawn should determine the ver-

verdict of mote guilty was conse-

HEIGHT BRINGS NO TERROR
and HealthfuIness When Mn
the Clouds"

Some time ago I was walking in the
country with friend, when suddenly
we heard soft hum high overhead,
says q writer in a British information
bureau bulletin. It took US some time
to find the tiny black speck, which
looked no larger than a gnat. far away
In the blue.
"How awful 1t must be-" my friend
muttered, ito be at that CHASTITY
height" And 1 smiled, as 1 remem-
bered having once thought that my
self.
AS a fact one has no horror at
height. The higher one is, the less
real does the world beneath seem, the
more stable and safe is the machine
In which one is comfortably sitting
Height, regarded from a housetop,
may be unpleasant. From 10000 feet
1t is delightful.
The pure, sweet air at high attitudes
stimulates, like wine, and the world
beneath stretches away all round to
the misty horizon, and looks like a
gigantic sunlit map. l expected to
feel giddy, if not airsiclz, when / first
went up and was amazed at the feel
ing of steadiness and stability.
One has no feeling of giddiness, once
contact with the ground and station
ary objects is broken, but only sen
sationI of singular health and happi-
ness, and on coming down after a
series of smooth spirals there is an
amazingly strong feeling of wanting
to go up" again and taste once more
the sweet, fresh air and delightful
thrills Of the new world.
"But what a dreadful noise the en-
gine must make" l heard some one
remark the other day.
Apart from the fact that the ears
are covered by a warm leather flying
cap there is, on the contrary, some
thing very soothing in the even note of
the motor, and after being in the air
for some time it is rather apt to make
one feel sleepy.
The higher the altitude, the stronger
the feeling of exhilaration seems to
become, and the world is apt to seem
dull and drab when one descends
again to slow plodding over the earth.
