Whooping Cough.
Communicated

1 This disease begins with symptoms
of an ordinary catarrh, lasting from
10 to Ia days, and then the peculiar
cough commences. The paroxysms
are more severe at night. During the
spasm the child should be lifted up
and given as much air as possible.
The disease is more serious than
generally thought. A physician should
be consulted to avoid complications
which may arise.
Trouble from a rush of blood to
the head and bronchitis and pneu-
monia are not uncommon, also heart
strain, which is shown by swelling
about the face and eyes, nose bleed
usually occurs.
The diet is an important factor.
Give mild, unstimulating food (avoid
pepper and too much sald) and keep
the bowels moderately open.
Let the clothing be warm in cold
weather, protecting the chest and
arms. Keep the temperature of the
room as even as possible, night and
day. Do not send the child out of
doors on damp or windy days. But in
favorable weather keep him out all
the time.
When with young children in the
course of the disease squint is no
ticed for the first time or there is
spasm or stupor, send Immediately
for the doctor. and in the meantime,
if it be convulsion, give a warm
bath, (water tested by sticking your
elbow in it) and cold cloths on the
head. Should cough be more fire.
quent and expectoration less,, breath
ing difficult and wliooping cease, the
child needs immediate care, should

Public Health.

1t is SO years since Benjamin Dis.
raeli said, "Public health is the foun'
dation on which rests the happiness
of the people and the power of the
country: The care of the public
health is the first duty of the states.
man."
In the present day and generation
each individual is custodian of the
public welfare by taking care of his
or her individual health. And by OBJ
serving the simple laws laid down by
nature, with the additional help of
Personal Hygiene and the following
of the Golden Rule, epidemics and
their accompanying distress and ter
ror could all be avoided, or at the
most, greatly reduced, if this were
observed. Take for instance our an
nual visitor, the fu-for while the
congested conditions incident to the
war gave it power and fatality new
er before felt, a careful study of sta
tistics for years, back even to the
Russian-Japanese war, shows US
the same symptoms under the same
conditions, but under different
names, varying only in severity ac-
cording to the degree of congestion.
what does that prove? Why, that iso-
lation of the patient is the only pos
sible' means of stamping it out. There
fore, it is as we'll, if you hear of an
illness in your friends family, to in
quire of his or her physician if it be
a communicable disease, and if so,
to keep away, unless you can relieve
a distressed situation and are capable
of taking such care that you carry
the disease no further.
A capable, competent person
keeps his or her hands and nails
clean, teeth, mouth and nose steril-
lied and does not lay his or her hat
coat, gloves or handkerchief on the
patients bed, gives his or her clothes
a sun and air bath and keeps the
physical being in good condition.
Kipling's poem on the English
army expresses it exactly
SIT amt the guns nor armament,
Nor funds that they can pay,
But the close cooperation
That makes them win the day.
1t amt the individual
Nor the army as whole,
But the everlasting team work
Of every blooming SOUL"
The time is past when Public
Health workers alone are held respon
sible for the health of the public,
just as the time is past when the
clergy alone are held responsible for
the morals of the public.
While chosen few lead, the rest
must follow. For in cooperation
alone can results be had.

as if a girl could have done so we'll.
We were glad this prize was won by

the destruction of this latter day
evil. Julian Talbert is the son of Mr..

to state headquarters to enter a con-

the first time Antioch community has
won in a prize essay contest.
