CLUB NOTES,

Dear Doctor Reeder:
 Whooping cough appears to be epidemic in our vicinity, and my chil- dren have never had it. Some of the cases hereabouts are very severe. One little girl is cross-eyed since she had it and the doctor says it is due to the severe strain and coughing spells which she had My children have been exposed to it at school and I presume they will have it. The doc tor says there is no medicine that will prevent it and that the \only thing we can do is to see that thelr feet are kept dry and warm Keep them indoors when the sun is not shining, give them plenty of fruit, vegetables and milk but no meat, can you tell us of some medicine that will prevent such severe coughing. Answer:
 Your doctors advice is most ex- cenent, don't give the children drugs. They will be better off without it You can easily control the cough however and your children will sleep through the nights instead of wear ing themselves out and keeping you awake with the distressing cough
 Get from your grocer a few pounds of garlic, remove from the garlic
 
 enough of the cloves into fine pieces to make a poultice the size of the bottom of the chHd's foot. Bind one of these garlic poultfces onto the bottom of each foot and then put on over it a pair of stockings. Do this | when you put the child to bed and you will observe immediate relief from the cough. Continue to apply the pouItice every night until the cure is completed and there will be | no complications
 As soon as you have proven the value of the treatment, tell all of your neighbors and ask them to tell l others
 ] If at first you cannot get the garlic use onions. They will help but | are not so good. After the first ap- plication you can usually smell the garlic on the child's breath the next morning.
 All readers of this publication are at liberty at all times to write for in formation pertaining to the subject | of health. Address all communica- 1 tions to the Home Health Club, La | Porte, Ind, with name and address and at least 4 cents in postage.

SIR FREDERICK
 IEIGHTON'S ALCESTIS

AIeestis was the beautiful Greek wife of King Admetus in Thessaly. AdmetoS fell sick. The sacred oracle said that his life could only be saved if some one could be found to sacri- fica their life for his AIcestis of fered herself to the gods in the place of her husband. She fell sick, Ad- metos recovered, At this moment, Hercules enters the palace as the guest of the king. Hercules hears of the tragic end of the lovely Alcestis, and promises to restore her to the kings, arms, cost what it may. He enters into a contest with death him self. This is the great moment of the celebrated canvas Alcestis lies on her bier; the mourners shudder and draw back from the fe1rful struggle of Hercules with grim death.

 It is only in the matter of per sona1 health that the majority of mankind are willing to accept defeat without a struggle. I never consider a case hopelsss no matter how many doctors have given it up, as long as there is any fight left in the patient.
