The cause of whooping-cough,
disagreeable though be the fact to
those who would scorn the germ
theory" is a small bacillus known
as the Bordet-Genou bacillus. As
1t is well known that dogs, cats and
other domestic animals have
Whooping-cough and carry the dis
ease to children, Investigators have
reproduced the disease in puppies
ny dropping a pure culture of the
germs into the nose and the pup
pies thus infected or fnocuIated
have then transmitted the disease
to other puppies. Whooping- cough
has been produced by similar in
oculation in monkeys and in apes.
The bacilli are found in masses in
the wind-pipe of persons i'll of the
disease, and the droplets Of mucus
or moisture sprayed out in the act
Of coughing convey the bacilli to
the nose or throat of any person
who happens to be within the To-
foot barrage of the unmuzzled
cough.
Whooping-cough is apparently
mot spread during the incubation
period, that is, the period of seven
to ten days that elapses between
the moment of infection or ihocu-
lation and the development of the
first symptoms of an alleged cold"
or slight cough. But it is most
communicable in the early stage of
the illness, before a whoop is no.
ticed. This is Just one more argu-
ment in favor of isolating every
alleged cold" no matter about the
weather.
If 16 days have passed since
probable exposure to the disease,
without any symptom of illness, the
individual has not been infected.
Children between 6 months and
6 years of age are most susceptible
to whooping- After the sixth
year susceptibility gradually de-
creases with age. However, there
is no natural immunity to the dis
ease, and a person of any age may
suffer.
The patient continues to be a DO
tential source of infection for as
long as weeks after recovery. The
usual course of the disease is from
four to eight weeks. A second at
tack of whooping-cough almost
never occurs.
Children with whooping-cough
invariably get along better the
more hours they spend out OF
doors.
In time of epidemic, when many
children area affected, a suitable
portion of public playground, park,
or school could and should be set
apart exclusively for children with
the disease. OF course that means

The Cost of Fashion in Shoes.

There is to be national shoe exhibition in
Chicago next week. Advance styles shown, it
is announced, will offer no relief from existing
high prices. In fact footwear of the fashion
able kind promises to be much higher than
now and present prices causing genuine
concern, especially for those(of moderate means
who have several pairs of feet to keep shod.
Materials of all kinds are more expensive
than ever. Labor costs more and, considering
the Embarrassment that expensive footwear is
causing to those who do not have large in
comes, a simplifying of styles might be ex-
pected The very reverse has take place, how
ever. AS leading clothing manufacturer said
