Health Bulletin

Now that contagious diseases of
childhood are prevalent and will be-
come more so in winter, few general
nursing suggestions to parents may
not come amiSs. It should be known
that practically all Of these diseases
are spread mainly, if not entirely, by
the saliva of the victims The Seeds
germs of the diseases are contained
in the spit or discharges of the nose,.
throat and lungs and are soWn broad
cast by sneezing, splitting and cough
Ing.
1t is necessary, therefore, that as
far as possible the patients discharges
from nose and mouth be caught in
cloths OF paper napkins which should
be immediately destroyed by ire.
The nurses hands should be washed
frequently and always after handling
the patient or soiled bedding, nap
kins, handkerchiefs, etc. Soap and
water cleansing is probably sufficient,
though this may be followed by alco-
hol rinsing. An apron and cap worn
in patients room, and not out of it,
will provide good protection from a
possibility of carrying infection by
means of nurses garments
Even the common cold deserves the
distinction Of. being treated as other
contagious diseases are, for it is not
only most disagreeable in itself, but
leads to more dangerous ills. When
a child has cold, parents may take
advantage Of this opportuni ty toteach
him to sneeze into his handker-
chief and TIC learn the virtues of the
individual drinking cup.
Recently the value of the conta-
gious disease mask has been demon
strated. According to one physician
who served in a cantonment hospital,
very important use of the gauze
mask is that it prevents the nurse
from carrying her hand to her mouth
while she is caring for her patient.
In nursing sick, possibly feverish,
children, remember not to give them
more attention than adequate care
requires. Fussing over patient not
only aggravates his condition but in
creases the risk that the nurse will
contract the disease.

Mexico Won't Be Responsible
for Americans Safety.
Many Refused Admittance When
They Wouldn't Waive Blame.

Laredo. Tex. Sept. 6.-Many citi-
zens of the United States were refused
permits to enter the Tampico section
of Mexico today when they declined
to waive responsibility of the Mexican
government for any bodily harm that
might befall them.
The Mexican consul here just re-
ceived instructions from Mexico City
regarding this waiver provision, which
is to be attached to all applications for
permits to enter the Tampico section,
where a number of Americans and
other foreigners recently have been
attacked by bandits. Several oil men
were among those refused permits to-

Wilson told a big crowd here

He reiterated that it was a case of

better than the League OF Nations, or
step aside.
Mere negation, without offering
anything constructive TO replace the
treaty, is Bolshevism. he asserted.
Respects Honest Critic.
He said he respected the man who

treaty. but denounced those who are
against it for political reason.
There was great applause when the
president proclaimed that thru the
treaty the American spirit had made
conquest of the world

There was a wild shout from the
crowd.
Majority Must Control.
The president declared that "democ-
racies will sooner or later have to de-
stroy that kind of government (autoc-
racy) and If we don't do it now, the
job will still be before u.s." This task
he continued, must be carried to the.
extent that no minority anywhere can
control the many.
"The men who now control the af-
fairs of Russia" said Mr.. Wilson,
represent nobody but themselves.
They have no kind of mandate. There
are "a of them, 1 am told. There is
closer monopoly of power I'm Moscow

Horses for First Four Days,
Autos the Last Two.
Best Flesh and Motors in West
To Be Seen Here.
MONDAY is REAL DERBY DAY
First Afternoon Crowded With
the Premier Events.
Half Mile Track Is in the Best
of Condition.

With four days of horse-racing and
two days of auto racing, the Kansas
Free Fair which begins next week is
offering the people of Kansas one of
the best balanced speed programs of
the west.
The daily race program for the
horses has been arranged with an eve
to making each day the equal of all
the rest. No single day-unless it be
Mondays top heavy with feature
events in the matter of the thorobreds
An average of five races a day is to
be run.
1t is thought that Monday will be
the day of days of the four days rae
ing to the sons and daughters of the
south. Two fast harness races are
scheduled for Monday and three run
ming races. 1t is these last which
bring the spectators to their feet with
excitement and which make anxious
eyes strain hard to distinguish a
favorite's colors in the kaleidoscope of
the gallOpers. Monday is Derby day
when the mile event Of the runners
is decided. This race is the premier
running event of Kansas race tracks
Two other running events of the day
are the half and the three-quarter
dashes
on the other days two running races
are scheduled each afternoon. Tues
day Is perhaps the lightest day of the
week with but four races billed. We'd
nesday and Thursday each are laden
with five races. three harness events
and two with the runners.
Auto Races Friday, Saturday.
Friday and Saturday the half mile
oval is to belong solely and entirely
TO company of speed demons who
intend to lace themselves along the
narrow edge of destruction while their
roaring cars hurl and slash around
the track. These events are real
races and are not the fixed before
hand kind where the purse is split
even before the motors begin to belch
their oil tinted flames.
There Is real rivalry among these
drivers. They own their own cars and
each one is proud of his canned
horses" Duray and Horey are at outs
with each other and fearlessly dare
death and disaster in an effort to best
each other. Sig Haugdahl is another
angle OF the triangle who bows and
neither does he scrape to any man
who wears the hood and goggles of
the dust circle. Roller, Willard, Jen-
nings and others are also entered and
every one of them is bringing with
him an earnest eve carefully trained
on the purses offered in the events.
These events have not yet been named
as they are arranged at the last minute
to accommodate the drivers. This is
a necessary precaution on half mile
tracks where a crowded turn might
mean death to a dozen spectators.
The half mile dirt oval at the fair
grounds is in fine condition today de-
spite the hard usage OF the circus Wag-
ons. All day Thursday, Friday and
today the water wagons have been at
work on the track and the moistened
earth has been carefully smoothed

All Topeka today was busy getting
S-eady for the opening of the big Kan
sas Free Fair Monday morning. stores
were arranging to close their doors
at noon so that their employees could
help celebrate the opening. House
wives were cleaning up their guest
rooms and stocking up their pantries
for the long looked for fair week Wis
hors. And at the big South Topeka
grounds the fair officials were buster
than President Wilson with his peace
treaty.
Every train that came to Topeka
today carried fair visitors and exhibits
and every minute of the day some
thing new was arriving at the grounds.
The fireworks displays and many ex-
hibits are already on the grounds and
n train of twenty-five cars of live
stock left Lincoln. Neb., at midnight
for Topeka. Others will leave today.
The big carnival shows will arrive
early tomorrow afternoon and will be
ready for business early Monday
morning.
A railroad official who is handling
exhibit cars said today there is no
doubt that the livestock barns and
pens will be filled as never before
Already there are as many cattle and
sheep and hogs and horses here as
there have been during the whole
week in previous years.
Greatest I'm History.
1--WE know we have the greatest
show in the history of Kansas fairs. -
Phil Eastman, secretary, said today
and we expect the Monday crowd "a
indicate that we will have the greatest
crowds ever brought to Topeka. With
the local stores and business houses
and Santa Fe shops closing, we ex-
pect at least 5000 Topekans to visit
the grounds Monday afternoon, and
we will be surprised if our first days
attendance does not go beyond $4,000
Every effort has been made to have
everything in readiness when the free
gates are thrown open at O'Clock
