the disease in their homes now.
Whooping cough is highly conta-
gious. Children especially are subject
to it but grown ups, when they get it,
have much harder time going
through with it. Comparatively few
persons arrive at maturing without
having had it. For many years the
cause of this disease was unknown
but now it is attributed to a rod -shap-
ed germ that appears in the sputum
several times a day before the pa
tient begins to whoop. A person may
have whooping cough germs and give
them to others by coughing, sneez-
ing ETC., yet not have the disease
develop within himself. The attack
usually lasts about nine weeks, three
weeks coming, three weeks in its
acute stage and three weeks going.
At first, symptoms Of an ordinary cold
appear in the head and chest Sharp.
nervous coughs, coming in series,
gradually deelop into violent coughs,
accompanied by flushing of the face.
Fever and restlessness are usually
present. Loss of appetite is likely
and smell of food sickening. Frequent
vomiting is a disagreeable feature of
the disease. Whooping cough is
serious disease and if not properly
treated it may develop into bronchial
pneumonia, commissions, nose bleed.

complications. No-one, either man or
child, should be allowed to through
an attack without intelligent nursing
and, if possible, a doctors attention.
Care should be taken that others do
not contract the disease from the pa

The name was given to the Trinl-

on account of the cross embroidered
on their dress Other authorities say
that they received the name of Crois-

"crutched" friars, because of the staff
carried by them, the top of which was
surmounted by cross. The order was
founded at Bologna about 1169, and
first made its appearance in England
in the Thirteenth century. The Criticized
Friars had monasteries in London, Ok
