Commissions in Children.

All young children are susceptible to
convulsive attacks. A CONFUSION in a
child often takes the place of a chill
in an adult and announces the onset
OF an infectious disease. In such a
case il is the result of irritation Of the
are circulating in the blood. 1t is Of
ten excited by irritation at some dis
tant point, especially at one of the ORR
fees of the body; and it may be ex-
cited by foreign body in the nose or
ear, by the presence of intestinal
worms, by indigestion, by poisoning,
by severe burn, or by mental ex-
element, either joyful or sorrowful
Commissions occur frequently in chill
dren who suffer from ricketts,; they may
also result from tumors or from other
diseases of the brain, but in such cases
they are more likely to be local than
general. They may affect one arm or
one leg or the muscles of the face.
Although the symptoms are virtually
the same, such convulsive attacks
should not be confused with epilepsy
but if they occur frequently and on
sight provocation, they indicate a ner-
vous instability in the child that may
later develop into true epilepsy.
The CONFUSION begins suddenly,
with or without preliminary muscular
twitching. The child falls I'M
conscious, and at first there is stiffness
of the neck and the extremities, which
is soon followed by commissions, in
volving first the muscles of the face
and then those Of the limbs and the
entire body. The eys open and shut
and roll about, the mouth witches, the
jaws snap, the head mods, rolls from
side to side and turns about, the arms
are raised and lowered, the legs draw
up and kick out, and the body twists
from one side TO the other During the
attack there is fever, the pulse is ran
id and sometimes irregular, and the
breathing is loud and painting. These
symptoms may persist for . n,ider-
able time, PERHAPS even for half
hour-a fact that distinguishes the
attack from genuine epilepsy, in which
the attack is usually of brief duration.
The treatment of convulsive attack
depends upon the cause If fever IS
the cause, combat it by cool snonging
or by cold packs; open the bowels BY
mustard bath and give an emetic if thc
stomach is overloaded or If the Dalient
has eaten indigestibe food.
Although it is the fashion now 70 dc
ny the occurrence of teethinc convul-
sions, it is certain that ~" +t"'c"l.
eruption of tooth may cause much
nervous irritation. In such case
lancing of the gum NAV give relief.
Between the attacks an effort should be
made to strengthen the little Patterns
constitution and to remove anything
that may affect unfavorably its
nervous system.

HEALTH STATISTICS.
Public Confidence Lessened by the
Use Of the False Death Rate.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Thank
YOU for pointing out to the public the
felse death rate of our city. as given by
the Board of Health
similar manipulation of census fig
ures. thereby making a low mortality
percentage, has frequently been discov-
cred In other cities. notably in Balti-
more some years ago; but. the physi-
{ ians responsible for the dishonesty were
,ynically Indifferent to the exposure.
From these proved cases we can Judge
how much reliance is to be placed on
other figures emanating from the same
source. when they are trying to force
rome fantastic new serum on the public
or to show what wonders they have per-
formed in Graduating disease.
And yet they have the effrontery TO
quote their own statistics-which are
under their sole control, thus enabling
them TO show any result they wish-as
Tough they were gospel truth, and woe
unto the daring creature who presumes
TO question their statements.
II is all wrong for health statistics to
Re exclusively in the hands OF the pro-
Re ssion. The temptation to manipulation
IT, too great. There should be an un-
biassed non-medcal statistician to tabu-
late and control their reports and fig
ures which Is the system in England.

TAILORS STAND FIRM.
They Have the Open Shop Plan and
VIII Try to Reduce Prices.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Refer
ring to recent statements that as a re-
suit of strike and the imposition of
"nion terms the Fifth avenue tailors
would be required to charge more for
clothes than heretofore. I as one well
informed upon conditions In this trade
and with a knowledge OF the facts con-
nected with this so-called strike may
add few words for the enlightenment
Of your readers
Simply because few tailors have
signed a union agreement and accepted
all the onerous terms thereof, which In
y'te decreased efficiency. restricted out
put and other increasing costs which
they must pass up TO their customers
should he no reason for leading the gen
tral public TO believe that the entire
merchant tailoring trade is in the same
boat.
Less than year ago the members OF
tie Merchant Tailors Society of the city
OF New York after n protracted strike
established the American or open shop
plan In their business. Their position
was made perfectly clear to the public
in n half page advertisement appearing
in your paper in January last.
Since then these merchants have not
rcceded one iota from the principles
laid down at that time. and are Just as
firmly standing by them to-day as ever
They have had no strike or Industrial
Il sturbance. and any statements TO the
contrary are without foundation. r.

fere with their legal right to work peace

The members are public spirited
enough to recognize the trend of the
times. and even though the advance In

Washington? Or Wilson?

Governor Cox at Syracuse yeste--
day, celebrating his entrance into
New York State, said:
ITO shout America first and then
oppose making America first through
out the world is to turn our backs on
progress and on the deeds which the
trainers of our great Constitution
wove into the soul OF America. There
fore, when I talk OF the League OF
Nations I am presenting no new
spirit but am simply endeavoring to
keep the faith of America"
If WASHINGTON in the abode of
good men who rest from their great
labors heard this utterance the ques-
ton must have crossed his serene and
penetrating mind as to whether the
Governor of Ohio ever read the Fare
well Address.
If Governor Cox has read that his
toric document conceived in wisdom
born of experience and published In
unselflsh love Of country how can he
unblushingly refer to the deeds the
trainers Of our great Constitution
wove into the soul of America in the
same breath in which he calls the
League Of Nations an instrument for
keeping the faith of America?
Acceptance Of the Wilson Covenant
Of the League Of Nations means re-
lection of the policies of WASHING
TON. Of that there Is and can be no
question. Governor Cox ought to
know this, and, knowing 1t, refrain
from such statements as that which
he uttered in Syracuse yesterday.

An Intellectual Radical Who Showed
Himself Consistent.

JOHN REED, whose death is reported
from Moscow, was one Of the intel
lectual radicals who found an intense
pleasure in stirring things up. Wher-
ever the most trouble was, there also
was REED. Other young men find
sport in catching fish or shooting
lions. REED found his in defying the
police and trying to convince other
people that they were downtroddep
REED had courage and he was not
Of the parlor breed Of Reds. He was
consistent in that when Russia en-
braced the socialism which he had
vainly preached to Americans he
stayed there. His critics may say
that this was easy because REED was
in favor with the Leninites on nc
count of his usefulness as a writer,
but, anyway, he made himself a part
Of the bolshevist scheme.

FIFTEEN QUESTIONS.
Bv What Authority Was the Honor Of
the United States Pledgedl

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Concern
ing the entry of the United States into
the League of Nations President Wilson
and Governor Cox maintain that 'our
word was given, our honor pledged"
VIII anybody who accepts this view
kindly answer the following questions:
/. Was any such pledge given CAP by
the electors of this country upon a ref
erendum (b) by the consent of the sew
eral States; (c) by any authority except
that conferred upon the President by the
Constitution to negotiate treaties, with
the advice and ccrsent of the Senate?
2. If such pledge was given by the
President, was 1t with the advice or
consent OF the Senate?
3. Did not the President, before any
pledge was given. explicitly state that he
would regard the election of Repub-
lcan Congress in 1918 as population
of his leadership?
4. Did the President pledge the rati-
acation of the Senate?
s. If so, did he not exceed his con-
stitutional authority?
6. If the United States is morally
hound by any implied pledge heretofore
given, what would be It's moral and
legal obligations under a treaty solemnly
ratified?
7. Is not treaty regarded merely as
an international contract in writing?
s. Is such an instrument.not construed
ike any other written contract?
9. Is it not an elementary principle
of law that a written contract Is indis-
putably presumed to express the whole
agreement between the parties?
10. Are not all reservations, restric-
tons. limitations and understandings not
expressly stated in a written contract
thereby waived?
IL. If the treaty be ratified, would not
the United States be legally and morally
bound to execute every provision which 1t
contains?
IL. Is there any constitutional author
!ty for the reputation of the terms of
a treaty prior to its formal abrogation?
10. Would not the refusal of Congress
to declare war under Article X. consti-
tute an authorized Reputation Of inter
national obligations?
IA. If the United States is morally
bound by the vague. indefinite and I'M
authorized pledge pleaded by the Adj
ininistration, would 1t not be legally and
morally bound by the clear, concise and
unequivocal promise expressed in a
treaty deliberately negotiated by the
President, expressly approved by the
electors and solemnly ratified by the
Senate?
Is. If the Senate under it's constitu-
tional authority may not refuse to rat
ify, can Congress, without constitutional
authority. refuse to execute? G. c.
