How To Keep
Yourself Well
Send name and address for per-
sonal reply to Information Edi-
tor, U. S. Public Health Service,
Washington, d. Q.
BY UNCLE SAM, NJ. ID.

Within a week-sometimes with
in two DR. three days-after your
child has been exposed to scarlet
fever, If he is a susceptible person
you will hear him complain of sore
throat.
Vomiting and fever accompany
the sore throat, and from twelve to
thirty-six hours later a bright red
rash will appear on his neck and
chest. This spreads rapidly over the
whole body, with the exception of
the face which usually escapes.
Deafness may result from scarlet
fever, and it is not an unknown
thing to have a child die suddenly
from kidney disease after it was
thought he had entirely recovered
from an attack of scarlet fever.
If your child has the above symp-
toms, send for a competent physician
who will guide you through the pit
falls of this disease. He will tell you
h a it is contagious from the very
beginning until all discharges from
the nose, throat and ears have
ceased, usually a period Of about five
weeks.
DISSEMINATION, or peeling, general
ly begins about the eighth day, but
the flakes and scales are not now
looked upon as likely to be con-
tagious.
The patient himself, and anything
Clothing, toys, upholstery, etc.,
which have been contaminated by
discharges from his mucous men,
branes are the chief injecting agents.
AS a rule, scarlet fever keeps a
child at home about six weeks, but
this. of course. depends upon the
cessation of all discharges from the
nose, throat, ears, and n glands
which may have broken down in the
course of the disease.
A frequent means of spreading
scarlet fever are the mild cases of
those children who do not feel really
Ill, and perhaps complain of nothing
but a mild sore throat. But these
cases r just as contagious as Sc
we're ones and are very apt to be
followed by ear and kidney trouble.

, ton, he rumpled up his shock of red
hair with his hands, a sure sign on
his part that he was deeply trou-
bled.
''Well!" he exclaimed at last. And
a little later he repeated it.
We'll! l suppose it's the best
thing. Everyone you know is prob
ably talking of it this very minute.
But that will blow over. 1t may
bring Winthrop to his senses 1t
will probably make you more indie
pendent, which is the thing you've
needed"
The bell rang loudly. Thinking
always OF Win, l ran to open the
door. But it was my Aunt Harriet.
She was very much perturbed, but
dropped instantly into what I used
to ca1 her social mask"
How charming your new place
isl she remarked sweetly, kissing
me as she came in. "a trife small,
but so coy. You have the knack
of making any room inviting, dear.
All, how do you do, Mr.. MacReady?
II hear your new portrait of the
Countess Hanski is to be a great
sensation"
Colin bowed, q little humorous
twingkle in his greenish eyes as he
watched her performance. But as
soon as he could he slipped away,
whispering that he would come and
take me to dinner.
Her mask dropped as soon as we
were alone.
$50 you've done it," she said.
Being an old woman. Constance,
you must allow me the satisfaction
of saying I told you so. I told you
a few days after your marriage"
II thought you. at least. would be
pleased" l said this as sarcastically
as 1 could.
Immensely So" she said loosen
ing her furs. "Only why come to
this hole? Why not to my home
just turn this place over to someone
else, and you can have your old
rooms back again tonight"
mo, I'd rather stay here for
awhile, if you don't mind" She
looked her surprise. Then she found
the explanation that suited her best,
and promptly adopted it
We'll, of course you'll hear less
gossip if you stay here-you can
shut people out And lots won't
come to see you. You're not in the
right neighborhood. Try it for a
few weeks then move to my house.

throp out Of town. 1t ought to be
easily managed. + have heard of
nothing else all day but this. Mary

and into another. The other faced
me as rather blank and desolate.
Yet 1 had worked hard to make the
new apartment attractive, and
knew that by daylight it would
seem so.
But now it was four strange walls
and a glare of unshaded electric
light, unfamiliar furniture and my

had arrived.
Fortunately the trunks were

worried? Would he be shocked into

1 had purposely left my new num-

So Win would have my address.

Washington. June 4.-Pleas for the
white and colored delegates to the

ored and white races to spread the
new spirit of racial understanding
were made by speakers at the morn
ing session of the inter-racial conven-
ton, held in the First Congregational
Church, Tenth and G streets, north
west.
Representative Theodore L. Burton,
and Louis G. Gregory were the speak
ers. "The races must dwell in amity
in this country because they live side
by side" said Mr.. Burton. "The col
ored race should be recognized by
white men, not only because the con-
stitution of the United States requires
it, but by the divine power of God.
"Both races" he continued, "must
learn to understand each other. He
told the delegates that if Il crime was
committed by a colored man his peo-
pie should help in bringing him to JUS
tice. At the sameotime," he added, "if
a crime was committed and the offend
er unknown, and colored man hap
pened to be around, people should not
jump to the conclusion that colored
man committed it. We are to take an
important place among the nations of

and not bury their heads in the sands

CONGRESS SHOULD
PASS AN ANTI
LYNCHING LAW
(From National Republican,

The Republican national platform of
1920 pledged national anti-lynching
legislation, and this question is one of
the most important demanding the at
tention of Congress.
Anti-lynching laws will not prove to
be an absolute preventative of lynch
ing-the most to be hoped is that they
will serve as a deterrent-but they
will serve a highly important purpose
in giving formal expression to nation
al adherence of a practice which fire.
quently disgraces this nation before
the world.
The most recent outbreak of this
character is that at Tulsa, Oklahoma.
1t is the elimination of many months
of persistent preaching of race hatred.
For the crime of an Individual crime
for which an individual, rather than a
race must be held respOnsible-a gen
eral attack upon the Negro settlement
in the community was made, with the
result that seventy-five people were
killed and millions of dollars worth of
property damage was done.
The first lesson of this is that the
law-abiding elements in any commun-
ity should array themselves against
lawIessness whenever its ugly head is
raised. The first responsibility rests
upon the law enforcing officials of the
locality affected. Unless there be fail
ure in performance of duty by local
officials at the crucial moment, sell
dom will community be compelled to
submit to the domination of a mob.
And when a mob gains the upper hand
in community, no one can foretell
to what lengths it will carry its work
of arson, rapine and murder.
Communities which do not thus as
sert themselves, through their Off
cials and citizens, in behalf of law
and order, should be penalized for
their failure to do their duty. Of
ficials who fail to exhaust every re-
source at their command before yield
ing to a mob should be deprived of
their office.
The constitution of the United
States guarantees to every citizen of
the nation the protection of his civil
rights. This guarantee should be
made more effective by the enactment
of drastic anti-lynching law. Such
a measure was pledged by the Repub-
lican national platform of 1920, and
+ba nracant ConnresS should keen this
pledge.
