Just Plain Murder

New York, like Chicago, designates certain see
tons OF a few thoroughfares play Streets" for
tenement children, and bars out traffic by means
OF large and easily read signs during scheduled
hours each day. The children have learned that,
at such times, they may romp back and forth across
the pavement without fear of sudden and violent
death.
Recently two motorists drove upon such streets,
in defiance Of the signs, and each over and
killed child. Both were arrested, but escaped
punishment on the plea that the street had been
closed off playground without the necessary
action by the board of aldermen In other words,
he knew what the sign meant, but did not have to
obey it.
Now policemen have been stationed at the ends
OF these recreation spaces that the warnings
are needed. But that does not bring back to life
the two children who killed. There is some
thing the matter with the motorist who will DELHI
eratey ignore posted prohibitions and drive his car
through a crowd of rompng children Unfortunately
no test has yet been devised that will reveal the
defect in time to avert the tragedy.

A Period of Land Speculation

started in a furry OF buying and selling, quaint
incident of which the receipt by banks of 500
bogus checks in single day Owners of shore prop

phenomena of the water front. Salt water has sud

Buying and selling of real estate seems largely
matter OF mass psychology. Every state has had
booms of this kind between long dormant periods
when land moved very slowly. A good deal of the
colonial history of the neighbor state of Kentucky
was written by the land Spectators and half its

ADVENTURE OF

But this clock was called the ships

But when it saw that company had

TELLS PARENTS HOW TO CARE
FOR CHILDREN

to go out to play with other chill
dren, provided he does not have
running nose.
MAY CAUSE
OTHER DISEASES
Sometimes measles is more malic-
nant. The patient may suffer from
commissions, from high fever, an ex-
cessive development Of all the ordi-
nary symptoms, or the rash when it
appears instead Of being red may he
hluish black discoloration, which
looks like recent bruise.
BrOncho- pneumonia, the most COM
mon and the most fatal of all the
complications Of measles, is very apt
to occur.
The cough is very painful and
death usually follows quickly. These
two forms Of measles are in no
way exaggerated, and unfortunately
they are Of too common occurrence.
While all the severe eases may not
be grave you should know that bron-
cho-pneumonia is the greatest men,
ace Of measles.
Sometimes there are other compli-
cations, and the ears, eyes, cent raj
nervous system, the heart and the
skin may, any one Of them, suffer.
Rarely there is gangrene at the
corners Of the mouth. This may re-
suit in death or horrible deformity.
Measles is a serious disease, and
spares practically no exposed person
who has not had it.
For the protection Of your chill
dren, and the children Of your neigh
bors, you should know that child
with measles should be put to bed
and kept away from other children
as long as it has any fever, cough,
or discharge from the nose.
The room should be airy, but. it
should be darkened, because chill
dren with measles are very sensi-
tive to light. The bedclothes should
be thin, because the child is apt to
become too warm, kick off the COW
ers, and suffer from a cold. A chill
ing in this way may predispose to
pneumonia.
Food should be light and should
consist chiefly of nutritious broths,
pasteurized milk, soft boiled eggs,
and the like.
Iced lemonade will prove COM
Portable to the inflamed throat.
The child's eyes should be kept
clean, and should the fever run high
the comfort Of the little sufferer may
be increased by sponging with tepid
water and alcohol. Every child sick
with measles should have skilled
medical attention given by the fam
lily physician.
REMEMBER THESE
FIVE POINTS
You should remember:
l. That children with measles
should be provided with a quantity
of soft paper napkins, and as soon
as the napkins become soiled thew
should be burned.
2. That children should be taught
that they must always hold their
handkerchief in front of the mouth
when coughing.
3. That everything which has
come in contact with patients suf-
fering with measles should be ster-
ilizcd before it is allowed to come
in contact with other people.
4. That when it is known that
measles exists in community, no
child with cold or cough should be
allowed to come in contact with
other children.
s. That it is little less than Grim
inal to permit children known to
have measles to come in contact
with we'll children. While it is gem
orally considered that person can
suffer from measles hut once, there
are cases on record Of second and
third attacks. These are unusual,

The human body has become re-

The human body has become re-
spectacle.
1t is not immodest to show it.
1t is not wicked to cultivate it.
Health is u virtue and wholesome
human JOY is honorable.
We are no longer ascetic.
If we cut down our food, it is not
for the spiritual discipline of self
denial, but for bodily fitness.
The body is mentionable.
The "health column does not
have to omit all organs below the
diaphragm. The fainting lady and
the ethereal saint are no longer our
ideal. The flesh has come to its
own.
Whether the world and the devil,
the other members Of the traditional
trio, are also triumphing, is another
question. Certainly, the crime sta
tistics make out strong case for
the devil. And there was never q
time when material prosperity was
so great and so universally desired.
The world, the flesh and the devil
seem to have resumed their pagan
sway. And there is no visible PROS
pect Of ousting them.
Can we not do the next-best thing,
and use them? The flesh, certainly,
has achieved q spiritual value.
Never was there so little neurotic
morbidness as in this day of the
frank acceptance of the body and
the senses. Our robust youth are
decent generation. They have strip
ped most Of the mystery from life,
but they face it clear.eyed.
The devil is harder to deal with.
But we are analysing even his
methods, and learning that the bot
way to meet hellish wrongs is not
to add fiendish penalty to them.
We may yet psychoanalyze the
devil himself into useful citizen.
And the world, though never so
worldly, was never so idealistic as
now.
Wealth has become a conscious
trust, and Service" is the motto Of
business. We are tanning and civil
izing the world. the flesh and the
devil. We need the spiritual, too;
but perhaps it is good thing that
the new era prefers its spirituality
robust and clean.
