TO AVOID coNTAG1oN
(From The Ju- Hi-ol)

Much is done to avoid contagion
by the medical inspection of schools.
This is done in the larger cities like
New York. A physician and nurse
go around among the schools exam
ming the children's teeth and noses
to see if they have adenoids. If
a child has defective teeth or adenoids
and the parents are too poor to have
the teeth attended to or the adenoids
removed, it is done at the expense OF
the city.
The pupils are vaccinated to pre-
vent smallpox and diphtheria and in
the south it is done to prevent yell
low fever. This prevents them from
taking the disease. In some states
there are laws requiring the children
to be vaccinated, but there is no law
to that effect in this state. When
there is disease like smallpox the
children are sometimes forbidden to
come, to school unless they are vac
cina.ed.
The Board of Health also does
much to prevent the spreading Of
contagious diseases. Physicians are
| required by law to notify the Health
Officers where there is a contagious
disease and the Health Officer pla-
cards the house. The family is pre-
vented from going out and anyone
from coming in.
| The local Board of Health looks af-
| ter the health in the community. They
see to it that the home in which there
is a contagious disease is quarantined
and all schools and other public
buildings are closed. If the scholars
come from locality where a disease
is raging, or they have the disease,
or if in the family there is a disease
that can be carried by third person,
they are sent home.
The State Board of Health en-
deavors to prevent the pollution of
streams, the adulteration of foods,
and the state government may declare
quarantine against a neighboring
state where contagious disease is
prevalent.
Things of national interest, the
National Government looks after, in
Guiding immigrants from foreign
countries undergoing inspection at
Ellis Island. Any person who has a
contagious disease is quarantined.
Congress has passed laws for the
inspection of meats put up in pack
ing houses, and to prevent the adul-
teration of foods with injurious ma
terials. The medical staff in the
United States Army has done much
to prevent the spreading of disease
Ill army camps.
It is also necessary to exterminate
the insects for they carry disease
germs on their feet and spread dis
eases. Flies and mosquitoes carry
many disease germs and we should
do our part by exterminating all we
can.

Makers of Heroes.

Emerson says, esTimes of herois,il are
generally times of terror They show
true character. It seems that human
nature needs test to show the stuff
it's made of. Spirits of heroic mold
often lie dormant until aroused by a
mighty challenge. It seems as though
there is some n1ilitarism of the soul
that waits the fife call and the meas
ire Of the drum beat. Not fear but
lack OF occasion keeps the latent might
unconscious of itself. But let the need
call and the sleeping giant rouses and
strides frayward to the dismay of petty
puppets Of annoyance.

rot and much interested in the birds,
I turned to tile jeweIer and remarked
that the parrots voice sounded almost
human. To my horror the jeweler
said, THAT Is not a parrot-that is

shop and, although the jeweler had of.

bargains, nothing could make me face
