During all this period inflammatory
changes in the glands are progressing,
the spleen gets very large and soft.
the glands in the intestine swell and
break and sores or ulcers are formed,
from which, when formed decom-
posed and putrid materials proceed
This is very poisonous and more or
less of 1t is usually absorbed and car
ried by the blood to all parts Of the
body.
On the surface of the abdomen there
is usually a rash of small red spots,
the bowels become distended with gas,
perhaps to an enormous extent.
The patient suffers from loss of ap-
petite, heart weakness, rapid pulse and
frequently with great disturbance of
the brain.
Vaccination with suitable vaccine
furnishes an excellent means of pro-
lection from the disease, and Is prac-
ticed as a routine measure.
Projection by vaccination lasts three
years and is therefore of the greatest
value to all who may be exposed to
this disease by out-of-door life.

Porridge Brings
Forth Argument

Porridge Is passing as a staple ar
ucle of diet In Scotland. It Is giving
place to ham and eggs. The Scottish
BOARD of agriculture, inquiring into
the causes for this change in the ma
uonal diet, is informed that ham and
eggs for breakfast has become popular
and the housewife will not be bothered
TO put on porridge as wei. An emil
nent professor has declared porridge
Is an Injurious diet, and tends to the
development of ricketts,. On the other
hand, the medical officer of health for
Edinburgh is positive that while por-
ridge may be troublesome to prepare,
lt furnishes ample compensation in the
good foundation which is thus laid for
heavy days work. The professors
condemnation of porridge, 1t seems, re-
suits from experiments he made upon
puppies. They were fed on porridge
and became rickety. Against this 1t
Is asserted that the puppies were kept
IN cages, got no exercise or fresh air
and sunshine. II one regards the shep-
herds collie, however, it is claimed
that 1t provides a standing testimonial
In the lower animal kingdom to the
virtues of porridge diet. From the
day 1t Is weaned it is fed on porridge
and milk-very often the leavings from
the plate of the shepherd.

TYPHOID FEVER

A S ALMOST everybody knows. this
\ is one of the cOmmonest of dis
eases, more or fewer cases being pres
ent almost constantly.
Wherever insufficient attention is
given to drainage, water supply and
general sanitation, there typhoid fever
Is apt to be prevalent.
1t most frequently attacks young
adults or those who are mature, but
no period Of life and neither sex is
immune to 1t.
Essentially 1t is Inflammation of GER
tain groups of small glands in the in
testine and its supporting band, the
mesentery, and of the spleen. The
germ which causes 1t Is known as the
bacillus typhosus and it may be found
in the excavations from the bowel.
1t gets into water that is used for
washing, drinking or cooking and
finally gets back into the human body.
Typhoid carriers are people who
carry the germs about with them, per-
haps for years, and do not themselves
seem to be injured by them. but by
injecting materials, particularly food
with which they come in contact, they
may transmit the disease to any num-
Der Of people who happen to be sensi-
tive to 1t.
When these germs reach the intes-
tine of those who are sensitive, they
attack the glands which were men
toned as the essential seat of the dis
ease and, during the subsequent ten
days to three weeks, the disease is in
cubating or developing.
The patient may feel rather miser-
able, but may be able to keep about
and frequently promises himself he
will be all right tomorrow.
But now his temperature begins to
mount up, he has chill. and every
day during the following week his tenn
perature rises steadily.
After this it may drop a little,
mounting up again toward the close of
the second week.
Then it begins to go down very
gradually and in two weeks more has
reached normal again.

Mission Play Is
Old Institution

California's famous mission play
began its fourteenth season in Feb
ruary of this year in the old playhouse
that stands In the shadow Of the San
Gabriel mission, founded by father
Junipero Sierra when the empire of
Spain extended hundreds of miles
above the Gulf Of California.
More than 1890 performances of
the mission play have already been
given. A member of the cast, Senorita
V1garez, has missed only one of those
performances. John Steven McGroar-
ty, author of the drama, continues this
year as director.
The mission play is a graphic and
colorful picture of the Spanish regime
In California from the days of the
founding of the first mission at San
Diego to the invasion of the Ameri-
canos and the decline Of the power of
the mission. The principal role in the
drama is that of Father Junipero
Sierra, who was the guiding spirit of
the great religious enterprise under
taken by the Franciscans. This part
was taken for several years by Fred
erick Warde, the Shakespearean actor.

The Long Wait at burlington

Inc Long Wait at Burlington
Included in my list of acuuain-
tances is a gentleman who promotes
sporting events. Originally he pro-
NOTED foot-races, later he conducted
balloon ascensions and parachute
drops at county fairs and carnivals.
Still later, keeping abreast of the
march Of progress he turned aviator
himself and bought an early model
airplsne with which, in the period
when flying was more of novelty
than it is at present, he gave exhibit
lions aloft.
The members of q Catholic con-
gregatiOn in a suburb of New York
city were striving to raise funds for
new rectory. In pursuance of this
ambition they rented an old driving
park and gave a fair which lasted
for an entire week. For the crown
ing attraction on the final afternoon
my friend was engaged to make
flight.
Now, the weather was lowering
and the winds were capricious
Feeling natural reluctance to trust
ing himself aloft under such circum-
stances the performer had recourse
to an expedient he had employed on
similar occasions in other parts of
the country. He spared for time in
the hope that darkness would come
and so save him from taking the risk.
He tjnkered with his engine. He
fiddled with the plane. He unscrewed
this bolt and he screwed up that
one.
The assembled crowd, which was
large, grew impatient over the DELAY.
Finally the parish priest, who was
acting as master Of ceremonies. felt
it incumbent upon himself to urge
that the hired entertainer make
good ON his contract. He approached
the aeronaut and to him he said:
my son, can't you go ahead and
give US the exhibition you promised
us and for which we already have
paid you in advance? These people
have already been waiting more than
an hour and half for you to go
up"
Father" said my friend, there's
a bunch of folks out In Burlington.
Iowa, that have been waiting more'n
eighteen months for me to go up"

What's in a Name?"
BY MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; its history;
meaning; whence it was derived; sig
nificance; your lucky day, lucky jewel
MYRA

TAKEN from an evolutionary stand
point, Myra represents the eternal
chronological question. 1t is said to
mean "she who weeps," but where it
comes from and how it reached its
present form is clouded in mystery.
The consensus of opinion seems to
be that it comes from the word marah
meaning bitterness, which was then
supplied to the bitter gum, myrrh. The
same term was used to designate the
brackish springs in the desert to
which the desoate widow of Bethle-
hem referred when she cried Call me
not Naomi (pleasant), call me Marah
(bitter)."
This is, on the whole, the most sat
isfactory derivation of Myra, some
times referred to in the Middle ages
as Myrrh of the Sea- Myra was fire.
quently used in the early days of Bib
neal history and the keritage Of SCR
row which the name suggests seems
generally TO have accompanied its
progress. 1t has been a great English
faVorite and has likewise had wide
spread vogue in this country, its popu-
larity, curiously enough, being con-
fined largely to the South.
Jet, the emblem Of sorrow, is Myra's
talisman gem, but by wearing it the
ancients believed that she could es-
cape her legacy of tears. 1t should
be worn, however, against the flesh
to insure its potency. Tuesday is
Myra's lucky day and Z her lucky

The Reason the Artist Quit

The Reason the Artist Quit
This, in effect. is in explanation of
why a rather well known New York
politiciaR gave up free-hand drawing.
Although without any artistic train
ing, he rather fancied himself a
pretty fair amateur sketch artist until
a certain incident, which l am now
about to narrate, came to pass.
In company with newspaper man
he was touring Spain. One morning
in Malaga the two Americans dropped
into little cafe for breakfast. They
knew no Spanish and their waiter
knew no English. Largely by signs
they made him understand that they
wanted coffee and rolls This was
no very hard job inasmuch as coffee
and rolls practically constituted the
breakfast menu of the establishment.
But when the newspaperman decided
that he wished also glass of milk
difficulties arose.
Singly and in chorus they pro-
nounced the world milk" Then they
spelled 1t out. They shouted it loudly
as one always does, somehow, when
using ones own language, one is
dealing with stranger who doesn't
understand that language. The waiter
merely shrugged his shoulders and
spread his fingers in a gesture of
helplessness.
The man who wanted milk initiated
the action of one milking a COW,
meanwhile mooing plaintively, and
then, to round out the illustration,
went through the pantomime Of
emptying an imaginary glass. Still
the waiter stared at him uncompre-
hendingIy.
Hold on" said the politician, 1--WE
got an idea. l can draw about as
well as the next one. Lend me a
pencil 1t won't take me a minute to
make this fellow understand what
you want"
With the pencil, on the table cloth
he Sketched rapidly what seemed to
him, at least, very clear and graph
&c likeness of a domestic COW, and
squatted down alongside the COW, his
maid engaged in the act of milking.
AS he made the finishing strokes,
the waiter, who had been watching
the operation over his shoulder, burst
into delighted cry of Isl! ST!
Senorl" and. tucking up his apron,
dashed from the restaurant and ran
across the street into the chop of
tobacconist.
Now then" said the politician to
his friend, "see what a knack with
the pencil will do for a fellow when
he eets into difficulties in a foreign
country. I'll venture | could go all
over the world, making my meaning
clear by dashing Off these little Illus
trations of what 1 meant and what
wanted, and never have any trouble
at all about getting along"
Maybe So" said the newspaper
man, "but why in thunder did the
waiter go to cigar store for milk?"
Probably custom of the coun-
try" said the artist. "The main
point was that just as soon as he'd
had a good look at my drawing he
was on his way. He'll be back here
In minute with your glass Of milk"
The prediction was only partly
true. The waiter was back again In
minute or less but he brought no
milk. Triumphantly, and with an air
about him of having accomplished
desired errand with satisfaction to
all concerned, he laid down in front
OF his patrons two tickets for a bull
fight
