Postmaster Elliott Calls Attention TO
War Savings Stamps

Attention is called to staten ent
made by Postmaster Elliott in regard
to the approaching maturity on Jan
uary 1st of the 1918 issue of War
Savings Stamps, the refunding pro-
position of the L. S. Treasury Dept,
and the advisability of adjusting these
securities now and 50 avoiding the
rush which Is expected on January
LIST. Postmaster Elliott declares that
because these stamps were bought at
a time when little or no thought was
given to the intrinsic value of the
security many people do not now real
i2e that the stamps are worth 20 each,
and in many instances the owners do
not know their present whereabouts.
He urges everyone who purchased
stamps from patriotic reasons in 1918
to recall the incident and look them
up and Immediately take steps to rein
vest the money due either in Treas
ury Savings Certificates or place
applications for their cash redemp-
ton on January list. Postmaster
Elliott states that his instructions
cover three options:
First: II Treasurer Savings Ger
tificates are desired for all of the
stamps presented for redemption,
these certificates will be issued at
once and dated January lst, 1923. and
the difference between the cost of
these certificates and the maturity
value of the stamps presented be paid
Immediately in cash thus definitely
closing the transaction.
Second II Treasury Savings Ger
tincates are desired for a portion of
the maturity value of the War Saw
ings Stamps presented, these will be
issued under date OF January 1st,1923
and the difference between the matur-
ity value of the War Savings Stamps
and the cost of the certificates will
be subject to prompt cash remittance
direct TO the holder of the securities
on January 1st.
Third: If it is desired that the en-
tire maturity value Of War Savings
Stamps presented be paid in cash
they may be deposited with the post
master now. an interim receipt pro-
tecting the hoher given, and cash
in the full amount will be paid to the
holder of these stamps promptly on
January LIST
Any stamps which are presented for
redemption after January LIST may be
subject to 10 day delay in payment
at the option of the postmaster in or
der that he may provide himself with
the necessary funds from the nearest
| Federal Reserve Bank of State De-
pository with which TO make payment

/ Near East Catastrophe That Strikes
Home

We are all very much stirred by
the horrible tragedy Of the Near East.
And the tragedy seems very near to
us when we hear of the distress that
has come from that quarter to one of
our own citizens. On November 4th
Lewis kellis OF Pittsield whose par
ent home is in the Far East. in Asia
Minor, about sixty miles from the ILL
lated smyrna. received a letter from
his sister. a letter that had been on
lis WAY for six weeks time This
letter disclosed To Mr. Kellis the trag-
je news OF the destruction of his fam
lily. father, mother, and three sisters
and three nieces. the sole survivor
being one sister. the author of the
letter. This sister is about twenty
wears old She happened to escape
because she had been staying with an
amt farther away from the scene of
the disaster. As il was she WAS oblig-
Cd to hide herself in the woods for
twenty days. finally escaping the Turk
ish onslaught. She is now in Fol
temo, Medglam, Greece, a refugee
awaiting some word from her brother
Mr.. kellis and his brother in Fair
field have cabled the money thru the
Red Cross that she might secure pas
sage to this country to join them. As
yet they have been unable to get into
communication with her because of
the thousands in this country who are
demanding some means of communi-
estion with their distressed ones in
thai area. We hope Mr.. Kellis may
gerry soon hear something altogether
favorable regarding his sister. We
extend to him our sincerest sympathy

WhOOplng Cough

Whooping cough begins with slight
cold, running at the nose, a little few
or and Il cough Tho eyes are red
After the first week the cough gets
worse and the cough may develop into
a whoop. or the Whoop may be absent.
In mild cases there may be four or
five coughing fits Il day; in more sew
ere cases many attacks of coughing.
The danger of infection is IN the
discharges of the mouth and nose. For
this reason ii is better TO use old
cloths for wiping the mouth and nose
that they can be burned afterwards.
As the cough may not always be pres
ent il is we'll to keep away from
children with colds when whooping
cough is prevalent. The period OF
incubation j. e., the period after eX-
posture in which child may develop
the disease, in from to IA days
Children under five should be especi-
ally shielded from the disease as
should all delicate children The
death rate from this disease, which
exceeds that from scarlet fever. is
greater among those who are not well
nourShed and among those where
home conditions are not good. And
that disease is more dangerous in
cold weather than in warm.
In the care of the patients they
should be kept as much as possible
in the open air. and when indoors
should be kept in well-ventilated
rooms, although protected from
draughts. The air should be neither
too hot or too dry. The patient
should also be kept as quiet as pos
sible, as much exercise or excitement
will bring on an attack of coughing
or vomiting
The diet should be of easily digest
ed foods such as milk and eggs. When
coughing causes him to lose meal
the patient may later have an egg
beaten up in milk with sugar and va
nilla
The dishes and all articles used
about the patient should be kept sep
arate. The person having the care
Of a child with whooping cough should
be careful to wash the hands before
caring for other children. A baby
could easily be infected through care
lessness of this kind. The slightest
drop of the discharges from the mouth
or nose is sufficient to infect another.
Where this disease is common there
is apt to be disregard of the rights
and feelings of others. But children
with this disease should not be al
lowed to come in contact with other
children who have not had the d.
sease. The disease is a reportable
disease Just az are other infectious
diseases. The disease itself is dang
erous and other diseases also follow
in its wake If the child RECEIVERS.
Children weakened by whoopins
cough very easily contract other d.
scases.
Fortunately the infection Of whoop-
ing cough is shortlived so that with
ordinary cleanliness the quarantine
need not be kept after the child has
recovered Children yho have had the
disease run no risk of a second at
tack nor are they likely to carry the
disease when others in the household
have it unless caring for the patient
during the attacks of coughing There
used to be an idea that 1t was neces-
sary to have all these diseases AZ
part of ones development; but mo-
dern science has demonstrated the
falsity of this tradition.
