GROWING PAINS

ONE of the time-honored supersti-
~ tions of mothers is that children
have growing palms." Just how did
the idea originate that growth was
painful? Growth is natural. normal.
healthy process of the body. Pain is
unnatural and abnormal. Any pain,
anywhere. at any time is sign that
something is wrong. Any child that
has pain in an arm. leg, or the
back that is anything more than tenn
porary has something wrong some
where.
Pain is the body's danger signal.
just like red light on railroad
track. Never run past red light. is
one of the most important rules the
engineer must learn and obey. Don't
neglect pain. is rule that every
mother and nurse should heed. There
are no such things as growing pains. -
If child has persistent pain any
where. it means, generally. that there
is some kind of infection somewhere
that is producing poisons that are ir-
ritating the nerves and causing the
pain.
This infection may come from the
bowels. due to constipation. 1t may
come from infected teeth or tonsils. 1t
may he the first symptoms of rheu-
matism or heart disease. But rheuma-
tism and heart disease in most cases
are the result Of infections.
Enlarged and diseased tonsils and
adenoids are responsible for most cases
of rheumatism. This disease is espe-
cially common in the spring and fall.
II first shows itself by vague pains in
the joints and muscles, later by swell
irgs. redness and tenderness in the
joints. The germs or poisons in the
blood cause irritation, not only of the
joints but also of the lining of the
heart. This Irritation may be so Sc
we're as to produce little ulcers on the
heart walls and valves. which. even if
they heal, form scars which pull the
valves out of shape and out of posi-
ton. leaving the child with a per.
manently disabled heart which he has
to live With the rest of his life.
ANY child who has growing pains"
or any persistent pain should be care
fully examined for infected teeth and
tonsils. The heart should be carefully
watched us the great majority of cases
of heart trouble begin in childhood.

HOW TO KEEP

DISCOVERING THE
LAZY BUG

HOOKWORM disease is caused BY
A = the presence In the bowels OF
many little worms. These worms are
called hoskworms. because they have
fine, sharp hooks In their heads by
which they fasten themselves to the
lining of the bowels, so that they can
suck blood from the victims veins.
These worms are only abeat an inch
long and about as big as fine hairpin.
The amount Of blood which each
worm can suck is not very great, but
when the unfortunate person who has
these worms has hundreds or thou
sands of them to feed, the loss Is so
great as to make the victim pale and
weak. just like any other form Of
hemorrhage.
HOokworm disease has long been
known to be common among the min
ers and tunnel workers in Italy and
Switzerland. But 1t was not supposed
to exist in this country. In 1900. after
the Spanish-American war, when this
country took charge, of Porto Rico, the
surgeon general of the army sent Capt.
Bailey Ashford down there TO report
on the health of the people. He found
that. in that beautiful, tropical para
disc, there was not much sickness,
such as is ordinarily found, but that
great many natives were pale, list
less and without energy, that many
of them were "clay eaters" and
seemed unable to do anything.
Doctor Ashford had seen some cases
of hookworm in Europe and was
struck by the resemblance between the
two conditions. He began to look for
hookworms and soon found them In
large numbers. He made a report to
the surgeon general on anemial in
Porto Rico. which was the beginning
of our knowledge of this disease in
America.
Then Dr. Charles w. Stiles of the
United States Public Health service
began to study the poor whites in the
South. These people had been con-
sidered too lazy to work, living in old
and miserable cabins. many of them
dirt eaters. Doctor Stiles found that
they were not lazy but sick. Too sick
to work, with their bodies drained of
nearly all their blood by these miser-
able hookworms.
Some of you may remember how
the newspapers, 20 years ago, poked
fun at Doctor Stiles as the discoverer
of the lazy bug" But Doctor Stiles
WAS right.
Soon the Rockefeller Foundation be-
came interested and began working
with the federal government and the
state and county health officers to
stamp out these hookworms. Millions
of dollars have been spent and much
has been done. though much remains
to be done.
Hookworms enter the body through
the skin. generally the skin Of the
feet. They cause swelling and erup-
ton called ground itch, dew itch, COW
itch or foot itch.
If you want to avoid hookworms
don't go barefooted in parts of the
country where they are numerous.

The Leaning Tower of
Baltimore

In Baltimore, years ago, there was
a shot tower that stood up in the air
to considerable height. Almost at
the base of the shot tower serious
minded German ran saloon.
Eugene Havez, afterwards New
York theatrical man and now in the
moving picture business in California,
lived in Baltimore when the shot
tower stood there. One day Havez
and a friend of his found themselves
in the vicinity of the shotworks.
Both were thirsty and both, as it hap
pened, without funds. Havez had an
idea.
He outlined it to his companion
and then they entered the saloon in
a violent argument with each other.
I'll bet you anything I'm right"
Havez declared.
You're wrong" stated his friend
stubbornly, you're just naturally
bound to be wrong"
They lined up at the bar still de-
batting. The German waiting patiently
to serve them became interested.
I'll show you how game am"
said Havez. "I'll bet you the drinks
I'm right and leave it to our friend
here to decide it."
THAT'S CO." said the other man.
"Set out the drinks" commanded
HaveZ.
The German served them and they
drank.
"Now, poys." inquired the saloon
man, wat is dis pet?"
Its like this" said HaveZ edging
toward the door, my friend here
bets that when the shot tower falls
down it will fall to the north. say
it will fall to the SOUTH"

Nothing Doing in the Fish Line
Some people insist that measuring.

human intelligence in America is
found among Key West sponge fisher
men. Others hold that the group.
place at the foot of the column prop
erly belongs to certain order of
theatrical producers. AS proof of the
value of their contention they point
to the story of the theatrical man-
ager, who, on being told that play
brought him by certain dramatist
was based upon one of Charles
Dickens novels, said:
well, you get hold of this fellow
Dickens and bring him around to
lunch tomorrow and we'll get his
ideas and fix up a contract"
In the same connection there fire.

Lackaye who once expressed de-

never be gratified, to play the part
of Jean Vatican in stage adapta-
ton o. Hugo's Les Miserables. A

isn't there a manager in town who
can produce it?"
There isn't a manager in town

Survey OF Social Service League
Work.

The Social Service League Of Montgomery
County is now nearing the end of the 18th
year of its activities. and has been taking
a careful survey of it's scope of work. its
supporters and its financial status prior
to the annual membership drive.
One interesting fact disclosed is the
growth of the budget. During 1908 the
League functioned on Sl2. which sum was
paid in full by the first president of the Or
ganization last years budget was So. 900 ;
this year $4,000 has been needed, and, to
meet its ever increasing demands, the
budget for next year will need to be
10000.
1t is observed that the work done by the
League. which meets problems in every
corner of Montgomery county. takes up
nearly every phase Of welfare work done
in cities where a separate and distinct
agency is provided to care for each type
of work The work of homo finding. child
placing and child supervision are all done
by the league family problems and relief
are likewise handled by the workers. and
the Social Director is also the Probation
Officer with all the cases of the Juvenile
Court under supervision. 1t is believed
that the Montgomery County League bears
the distinction of being the only welfare
organization in Maryland which attempts
all types Of cases which come under Social
Work. Surely an organization such as this
should have the support and cooperation
of every citizen.
