Measles May Be Dangerous If
 Neglected

THE splendid work being done by
 IL scientists in the infectious diseases of childhood bodes wonders for the pres ent and coming generations As pointed | out in a recent article, we can practi-
 cally side-step diphtheria by means of the | Schick Test, and now comes the newly discovered serum for measles. The pop ular fallacy still exists that measles are benign disease, whereas there are more deaths due to measles than from all oth- CT infectious diseases of childhood com bined-except diphtheria, which still takes heavy toll. "5
 Measles is highly infectious. The zion is spread by direct contact, and the danger to your child is great est just before and about, twenty-four hours after the appearance of the rash. This fact is not generally known to mothers, and I wish to impress it upon you-that measles is most catching" Def ire the rash appears.
 The first symptoms resemble severe cold in the head; there is sneezing, watering of the eyes and a dry cough. The child becomes feverish. The tempera- ture rarely goes beyond 102 degrees '. on the first day. He may show signs of carache and digestive disturbance vomiting Infants in arms become very peevish and restless.
 On the third or fourth day a rash appears, first on the forehead, temples and behind the ears, later about the eyes and chin. ,-s,t.
 With the appearance of the rash l the temperature may go up to 104 de- grees F., even higher. The eruption grad ually increases and extends all over the body. The eyelids become heavy and are almost closed there is a distinct
 aversion to light, for which reason the
 patients eyes should be protected from direct light. ts'@
 The fever subsidies when the rash
 has fully appeared, which explains I the well known practice of hastenlne the eruption with hot bath.
 The little patient should be wrapped lin warm blankets until he perspires and while in the blankets should bt
 given warm drinks such as hot lemon
 ade, broth, tea and so on. |, Every case of measles should bt treated with the utmost care, as on'
 can never foretell the outcome.
 "Uncomplicated measles is a milo disease, but when complications aris'
 bronchitis or pneumonia notably, il
 means long illness, and it is well tt remember that tuberculosis frequent,
 follows broncho-p o-pneumonia in measles (Fischer.)
 Do not keep your patient too warm Overheating the skin invites compli
 cations. Keep the temperature of tn, room down to 70 degrees F. Have plent! of air and sunlight. Give an abundanc of water and liquid diet for the frs ten days. Sponge the body daily witl
 tepid water and change the bed liner daily if possible. el
 The newly discovered serum whicl prevents measles is now ready for dis
 tribution by the health department.

Headaches Servo
 Very Useful
 Purpose

WHEN your head aches you should
 W be grateful. Painful though thl experience may be, it is not an afl fliction, but valuable and useful alarm conveyed by the signalling sys1 tem of your body that warns you oi some dangerous disorder to your bodily mechanism.
 This is the opinion of Dr. Edwin Fl Bowers of New York city, nationally known health authority. A headache he says, is not a disease but symp, tom. It is an indication that something is wrong in the liver, the stomach ths ears, the eyes or other organs, and | comes to you in time to repair thu cause.
 Perhaps the most common form oi headache. says Dr. Bowers. writing iI the April issue of Popular Scienc Monthly, is nerve irritation. Loss ol sleep, grief, business worries and un due excitement may cause headache of this sort, and the remedy is simpls more sleep or less worry or excite ment.
 Next to nerve irritation, the mosl common form of headache, accordini to Dr. Bowers, arises from the foulinl of the body by foreign matter; pois ons generated in the intestines and ab sorbed into the circulation. If thes, poisons could be isolated and injected directly into the blood, says the writer they would kill like cobra venom. Ca thartics form the readiest way of elim mating these poisons.
 Another sort of poisoning thal causes headache, says Dr. Bowers, il overwork, especially if done indoors Similarly breathing the air of stuff, rooms for long periods results in poisoning that brings headache.
 "So," whites Dr. Bowers, it is ap parent that headache invariably mean something besides a headache. If vol will take the trouble to find out wha this something is and remove it, yol will be convinced that headache is tn most useful pain you can have. How ever else a headache may be treated it never should be treated with con tempt"

and the whining, and the crying went on, hour after hour, yet never a cross word nor black look did she give the little demon.
 Isn't the patience of mothers the most wonderful thing in the world?'' said a man to me.
 Ut is," I replied, "and it is also the most idiotic thing in the world, and the greatest crime on earth"
 The man looked surprised, and went on: You have been admiring that woman for her patience with that child" said. Has it occurred to you that if she had been an impatient woman, with a good strong right hand, she could have turned that little imp across her knees and with one spank have saved herself and all the balance of us from the annoyance that has made this journey a nightmare to us! l Indeed, if she had been an impatient mother she would not have had to pub licly correct the child, for she would have brought 1t up to behave itself ant consider the comforts and rights of oth CT people,"
 We are always lauding patient mothers who make doormats of them- selves for their children, and who let their children kick them about and treat them any old way, but these are not the mothers who raise up fine sons and daughters. The men and women who amount to some thing in the world have not had meek, patient mothers. They have had mothers with backbone and grit who set certain ideals before them and held them to it. They haven't had mothers who overlooked every fault and condoned every weakness. They have had mothers who would not stand for any foolishness. Mothers who pointed out the road of duty and righteousness to them and drove them along it when they. didn't go along it of their own accord.
 Whenever you hear a child talkin impudently to it's parents, whenever yo see a girl flout her mothers opinion!

 This was too much for Black Pussy. This big, queer looking stranger was altogether too willing. Never in her life had she wanted anything quite so much as she did to have that door opened for her to get out. But Farm CT Browns boy didn't open the door. Black Pussy took one more look at Bob- by Coon, and then the last bit of cour- age left her. With yowl of fear and anger she rushed past Bobby and jump ed-where do you think? Right up on the table! Yes, sir, right up on the table!
 Over went a pitcher of milk Off fell a cup and broke on the floor with crash! A plate followed it! Mrs. Brown screamed and rushed forward to save the rest of the dishes, but Black Pussy was such crazy looking object of rage and fear that Mrs. Brown didn't dare touch her. Black Pussy was growing and splitting, perfect fury of cat. Bobby Coon turned, and in his slow business-like way came toward the table. Black Pussy jumped about, upsetting more dishes. Then Farmer Browns boy opened the kitch- en door and picked up Bobby Coon. Black Pussy made a flying leap and shot out of the door like q black streak.
 "P hew!" exclaimed Farmer Browns boy. II thought something might hap pen when they met.'
 II hope you are satisfied said Mrs. Brown grimly, as she began to straight en up the things on the table. Then she began to laugh and Farmer Browns boy laughed too. It really had been very funny. As for Bobby Coon, he was laughing also as he marched straight back to Black Pussy's bed just as if nothing had happened.

Maxim and Adage
By MISS BETTY sRAiMERo

H UDSON MAXIM says that te and HI coffee are intoxicating and has en- gagged lawyer to stop their use!
 Tt is a well-known fact" he says, "that all alcoholic liquors are intoxicat- ing, but all intoxicating liquors are not necessarily alcoholic. I am going to see whether or not they should be com pelled to stop the drinking of tea and coffee under provisions of the constitu- tional amendment. Strong tea is fully as intoxicating as some kinds of whisky. Why, then, shouldn't it be prohibited I am far from being a poor man-and I propose to carry this thing to the finish"
 We women are by nature socially in- clined. We like to fraternize with com panionable human beings, and we are indebted to tea and coffee for some happy moments. The old adage, 'the cup that cheers but does not inebriate,' applies tp coffee as we'll as to tea Steam heat or a hot water bottle will warm us on a cold day-but neither will cheer And what will take the place of coffee to overcome drowsiness and fatigue?
 About one hundred and fifty years r ago q very important tea party was given at Boston. The people of those times objected to being told what they should do by other people who thought themselves vested with superior power And the result of this foolish oppression led to the Revolution.
 Mir. Maxims violent attitude toward tea and coffee and his proposed cam paign against both may force us to figh him with some of his own ammuni tion, and have an idea he will have al unpleasant time getting the smoke O

he came toward her that was very business-like, and filled her with fear. She arched her back and swelled her tail and growled and spat like black fury, but this growing stranger came right on.

THO BE awakened from a nap by
 4 having lot of sharp claws stuck into you would not be exactly pleas ant, I think you will admit. Yet this is just what happened to Bobby Coon whenj Black Pussy discovered him asleep in her bed behind Farmer Browns kitchen stove. Those claws didn't hurt much because Bobby's coat was so thick that they only got through far enough to prick the skin. But that was enough to bring him out of that box all ready to fight in spite of the fact that one leg was useless. Bobby is no coward. Besides, when those sharp claws pricked his skin they pricked his temper too. He didn't know who had dared treat him that way and he didn't much care.
 When he saw how badly scared Black Pussy was when she found out who it was she had so rashly scratched, saw her bump into the stove in her haste to get away, and then scamper for the door Bobby chuckled down inside. He knew them that Black Pussy was more afraid of him than he could possibly hunting in the Green Forest, and like AAA IhC OIACA 4AbIlC PCOpAC hO hdu AClb that she had no business there. But there she had never given him chance to teach her lesson. Now he had a chance, and the idea tickled him. He didn't once consider that now things were just the other way around and that Black Pussy was where she had perfect right to be, while he himself was visitor. People are apt to for get such things.
 So Bobby climbed out of that box, and making that growl of his as ugly sounding as he coulG he marched straight toward Black Pussy. Now Black Pussy was not coward. More than once she had faced a dog bigger than herself and had made him turn tail. She knew just how to treat a dog. But this stranger she knew noth- ing at all about. There was something about the slow, deliberate way in which

and boy treat his father with con tempt; whenever you see hulking, lazy young people who let their old par ents toll to support them, you behold the work of q patient mother. Before they were three months old they knew that patient mother would walk them till she dropped if they howled loud enough. By the time they were in the kindergarten they knew that they were the ones who must be obeyed, and that Patient Mother was nothing but their humble slave. By the time they were 20 they were convinced that it was waste of politeness to treat Pa tient Mother decently, and that she really enjoyed going shabby that they might have finery, and working her fingers to the bone so they might live in idleness.
 Believe me, the good mothers are not the patient mothers. They are the impatient mothers who demand l respect and obedience, and who put the fear of God into their children. And these patient wives They get | just the same sort of reward that the patient mother gets. Did you ever know a patient wife who had husband who really loved her or treated her decently? You never did.
 We all know patient wives who wait year after year for unfaithful husband. to come back to them. We know wom en who have patiently tried for half { lifetime to reform drunken husbands We know patient, warn women wht have worked themselves nearly to deatl supporting shiftless ne'er do-well hus bands, hoping against hope that thei good-for-nothing men will at last ge ashamed of themselves and go to work
 But the patient wife never reforms bad husband. It is the impatient woman with a heavy hand and rough tongue who makes the stacker go to work, because he knows that she will bodily throw him out of the house if he doesn't.
 It is the impatient woman who won stand for drunkenness, and who woul, drag a philanderer into the divorce court, who braces up weddings. int behaving themselves, because they ar afraid of the strong woman at home l It is the impatient woman who demand her share of the family income, wh, gets it, and her husbands respect int the bargain.
 So it goes through life. It is the the impatient people who will not endure tyranny who make them selves free. It is impatient people who will not stand for bad condi- tions who improve things. It is the impatient people who do not like pow erty and an humble position who fight their way up to power, and place, and riches. It is the patient people who never get anywhere, who never have anything, who never achieve anything.
