Approximately 10000 people in the
u. $. died Of measles in the year
1923. This did not include large
number who died of broncho-pneu-
monia, great number of eases Of
which in children are caused ny
measles.
Approximately Gs.2 per cent Of all
cases of brOncho- pneumonia occur IN
children under five years of age.
This is also the time Of life when
measles is most apt to occur.
Nor is the story of the ravages OF
measles complete without mention
Of u large number Of cases Of tubcr-
culosis which follow an attack OF
measles. Less frequently inflamma-
ton OF the ear or eye may be left
behind as a mark of this common
disease.

At night the irritation increases
the child is feverish. the white of
the eyeballs show little red lines
upon them, and the sufferer has the
appearance Of being just ready to
cry.
SYMPTOMS OF
MEASLES
In the morning you will find the
hard palate and back of the throat
| have become colored a dull angry
red; there may be few little red
| spots on the hard palate, and If you
look closely at the lining membrane
of the cheek you will see some small
white-tipped reddish spots called
Koplick's spots from their discov-
erer.
At the end Of the day it will be
found that the fever will be higher
than it was the night before.
There will be great restlessness
rolling and tossing about the bed
| frequent requests for drink of wa
| ter.
This sort Of thing will continue for
three or four days. Then little dusky
red spots will appear on the hair
line: they may look like flea bites.
! Within "a hours this rash will
spread over the body, and the child
will look very much bespeckled and
swollen. In from 5 to Z days the
rash will begin to fade, and within
8 or 4 days thereafter will be entire
ly gone, leaving behind perhaps q
| faint nothing of the skin.
This is followed by peeling off of
! the outer layer Of the skin in little
| bran-like pieces. This process is
| known as desquamation and lasts
about 4 week.
In the meantime the fever will dis

New York-Warren Street is the
place one goes to for plumbers sup
plies, nuts, bolts, screws, gasKetS
and caskets. 1t is just abou: the
last spot in town where one would
look for romance except that which
lies in commerce.
But almost all Of the recent eX-
petitions into the remote and strange
parts of the world have had their
beginnings in Warren Street. 1t Is
down there that Major Anthony
Fiala has his shop. He is an out
filter for explorers. If you're going
to Alaska or Africa the majo can
tell you what you ought to take with
you and furthermore, he can sell 1t
to you.
The major knows at first hand
what explorers ought to have in their
outfits. He went with Roosevelt on
the River of Doubt trip. He has
mushed through the white Businesses
of the Arctic. There in his shop is a
dog sled which bears the legend O.
one great adventure Major Fiala ex-
perienced. When his ship, the
"America," became jammcd in the
ice he took to that dog sled and his
trusty brutes took him to land and
rescue.
If small boy were to. go to the
majors shop when several old
cronics are gathered there he would
hear greater tales than ever were
written in a book.
Along Broadway there is passing
a story to the effect that one Of
the most capable actresses in town
suffers from hay fever and the hay
fever season being at its height when
managers are booking players, she
can not appear at her best. Conse-
quently, when the hay fever season
abates and she is restored to her
usual pleasing appearance, the casts
are filled and all she can get is an
understudy job.
The best job in New York, rve
just discovered. is held by a horse
1t is a snow-white horse, with we'll
fed rounded curves and graceful
toss to his head. Five minutes work
is his day. He is ridden on the stage
by Joan Of Arc in the pagcantry Of a
Broadway musical show. When the
curtain descends the beautiful enucs-
trienne climbs down, the gold and red
leather saddle is removed and the
horse goes back home to rest and
get back in condition for the NOR
rows task.

Calculating Forces

Matter. as the modern physicist believes, is CON
Aruced of fundamental particles called protOns am!
eectrons which in reality units of positive and
negative electricity.
The forces with which these two different units
attract each other is enormous.
Professor w. T.. G.. Swami of Yale University has
been calculating these forces.
His calculations show that if all the protons in
cubic inch of solid matter could be separated out
into pile and all the electrons could be sim
ilarly segregated, that the force of attraction be-
tween the two piles, providing they were placed
one inch apart would be sc times hundred times

THIS FALL IN CODY STORES

Cody merchants are much ahead of the average in towns
OF this size IN announcing a regular fall opening in the manner
IN which they have chosen and on the scale which they have
ADOPTED as the best method. The fall and winter season replete
with lts merchandising opportunities, is often ushered in gra-
auany without announcement, with no inducement other than
those ordinarily found peculiar to the community.
But not so here. Todays Cody is teeming with special buv-
ing offers made at a time when buying is most necessary and
representing most of those items which every family is forced
lo acquire at this particular time of year. And not only are
the items seasonable and other attractions overwhelming to a
foreign competitor, but the great trade event of the year, the
annual gft campaign, is opening. This in itself is not an or
dlnary feature.lt is made extra ordinary by its relation to the
community and the eagerness with which the people IS well
as the tradesmen look forward to it.
So, the fall season is here in spirit as well as in fact. 1t
is opened by mercantile offerings that may not have equals dur
ing the remainder of the year. The "saddest of the year time
Tor shoppers may have a different aspect. And Cody is given
an opportunity from today forth to choose seasonable merchan-
disc from stocks that qualify as to quantity and high standard.
1T IS your opportunity to profit as well as that of your business
TREND. And it is your duty, other things being equal, to give
your home merchant that which he has every right to expect.
Start the fall season with him.

VACATION COSTS

The vacation cost of the citizens of the United States for
1925 reaches the enormous figure of three billion dollars in cash.
These figures, obtained from the best available records. give one
an idea OF how approximately thirty million persons took time
off from their daily labors to play.
The Interstate Commerce. Commission received monthly ra-
ports from the railroads throughout the country and these re-
ports indicated that passenger traffic during this summer was
considerably above the average of previous years. These re-
ports indicated that the transcontinental travel was particularly
heavy and that reservations for berths in Pullman cars were
hard to obtain unless spoken for some time in advance. The
great national parks, California and Florida were visited by
larger throngs this year than ever before, while the summer
resorts on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts have enjoyed
a more prosperous season than even the most optimistic hotel
keeper expected.
In addition to the summer resorts on the coasts and the
mountain play places, the tourist camps for automobiles all
over the nation were filled to OVERLOOKING. 1t is estimated that
more people took long motor trips than ever before.
The amount of money, three billion dollars mentioned. is
derived from striking an average of two weeks wages and sal
aries of the people who took their vacations. Wages and salaries
OF this amount would indicate that the hard times predicted by
the political adversar1es of the administration not only failed
OF fultllment, but strongly emphasized the fact that the United
States heads in general prosperity. Europe can boast of no
such figures.

WE SIDES

There are two sides to every question. This is just as true
IN advertising as in argument. In advertising there is the side
of the advertiser and the side of the public.
From the viewpoint of the advertiser in the newspaper, adj
vertlslng is a means of increasing his volume of business. Com
mercial development has made advertising as necessary to retail
business as customers. Without customers the advertiser could
not remain in business, o he advertises to attract customer.
The other side of the question is that of the public. To the
public newspaper advertising means the bringing of the store
show cases to the office and living room. 1t is a service ex-
tended to the public by the advertiser, because it aids the Gus
toner in ascertaining where that which is wanted can be pur-
chased at the most advantageous price. Newspaper advertising
has abolished shop searching. To save time for the shopper
1engthens his day.
So although there are two sides to newspaper advertising,
there is no disagreement between the two. Finding that adj
vertlslng pays the public as well as business the merchant has
two reasons instead of one for advertising, and the customer
learns that the most progressive merchants are the most extern
slve advertisers, so there is a double attraction. By the nature
of business, if advertising didn't help the buying public it could
not help the advertiser.

ideals of freedom and the right of exercising individual initiative
and enterprise. 1t has done this in the face of government COM
petition and government ownership in the printing industry
and in spite of the fact that a large number of stores, banks,
doctors, lawyers and manufacturing institutions which would
fight such competition in their own line of business, consistently
fail to patronize the printing offices of the publishers from
which they expect protection when necessity arises.
On orders under 10000 it is impossible for printers to fur
nish envelopes with a printed return address at a price to COR
pete with the government. For amounts over 10000 larger
printers can produce envelopes far below government figures.
1t is the small publisher and printer who is hurt worst by
the government competition. This is the general rule in all line
of activity when government ownership is established. The
more the government gets into the field of business, the more
impossible it will become to eliminate the government printing
of envelopes.
This problem effects not only the printers of the nation,
but every individual who ever hopes to do anything besides draw
pay in an official position.

THE WORLDS r

Another worlds series is with us. Once more the ma
tionl game is staging its seasonal exit in a spectacular climax
a climax that has been a-building since this years opening gone.
Again the champions of the major leagues have met to settle
their claims of supremacy. The two contesting teams are not
of one city, and that adds to the series national interest. The
contenders represent the seasons best in the game and all lovers
of base ball will follow their final struggle with keen interest.
The series has not been finished. The contending teams
have just begun to fight. But they have shown that they are
putting all they have into the game. Such sport, illustrating
the lightninglike straights of American nature, is worthy of its
great popularity.
