Personal HEALTH SERVICE
By WILLIAM BRADY. M. D.

know enough to do so have learned
this principle Of hygiene at home, not
in school.
Whooping cough becomes less con-
tagious after the whoop develops, and
as a rule the disease Is no longer con-
tagious or communicable after the
fourth week of illness.
II the public were reasonably well
instructed in hygiene no isolation or
Quarantine" would be necessary for
whooping cough. 1t would suffice to
require the patient to wear a yellow
band on the left sleeve labeled
"whooping cough" or some similar
badge to give fair warning to the pub
lie and to prevent any -sneaking tao
tics on the part of ignorant or vicious
parents, such as taking the patient to
the movies.
A child with whooping cough always
gets along better in the open air and
should not be confined indoors.
Children who have not contracted
the disease may be- rendered rela.
lively, not absolutely. immune by the
administration of bacterin prepared
from the bacillus.

Bullying Father.

Chester was known as the greedy

aged to get the last and the first

one, hid 1t away until the rest were
eaten and then brought it out and
ate 1t to the last crumb, no matter
how many hungry eyes were watch.
ing. He always got the first one be-
cause his arms were longest and his
elbows sharpest. Doughnuts, you see,
were made just at coming home time
and a charge on the kitchen was in
order.
At the table he was a bit sup.
pressed. He had to sit quietly while
father served him with meat and
mother put little mounds of vege-
tables about. his plate but should

thing he liked swallowed his share
whole and then meekly asked for
some. If there were visitors he. was
particularly meek and particularly
gulpy and greedy. Father hated to
speak to him before strangers and
private admonitions ran of him like
water OF a canvas back.
One day not long back he decided
he wanted new sweater-coat that he
saw In Thompson's show window, the

gravely. you have one now and you

Our Children By Angelo Patri

a few hours a day 1t viii make them
very happy and do them lots OF good.
The cool grass is very comforting to
the feet sboxed UP all Winter In hot
shoes. But one has to be sure that
there Is no broken glass about. Cut
| feet spoil perfedkly good vacation.
But try to let the children go bare
footed little while daily IL It can be
managed.
The best place is at the shore but
| the children so often cut their feet
that even there they lose the privi-
iege. In the country 1t SCENES as
though they might have a chance but
there is the danger of stones and
poison Ivy. All those things have to
be taken into consideration but in
spite of them the youngsters are to
have their bare feet on the ground
once a day.
Clear your own grass plot Of
ISt0nes and broken glass and turn the
lchildren loose to frolic. Feet that are
free and uncramped grow sturdy and
healthy and when child has healthy
feet he, to speak truth lightly, has
a sound foundation under him. Corns
and bunions and callouses render
many an otherwise efficient child
cross and fussy and so uneasy that
he cannot attend to the business on
| hand.
OF course the barefoot sandal is
the best compromise when the real
thing cannot be had. But make sure
that the sandal you put on the tender
foot Of q youngster is perfectly
made thing that is snug and soft to
the foot. have seen children's feet
cut and bruised by i'll made and worse
fitting sandals. The inside seams
were rough and the straps had bumps
In the places where they Were sewed
on to the sides. Run your hand in
side the sandal and make sure there
is nothing like that. It is cruel to
put rough sandal on child's bare
foot.
If you cannot find safe place to
let the children air their feet let
them take on their shoes and stock
ings in the house. the last hour
before retiring, and let them 90 about
the house dancing and prancing Hike
barefoot dancers. You will ind that
the hour of foot freedom viii rest
them in q way to release energy
without effort and so make every
thing they do easier in the doing.
We have found that nervous, fretfui
children. are more controlled in all
their actions and more efficient in all
their work IL they have this bare
foot hour.
II wouldn't think Of allowing Mary
Louise to go barefooted. It spreads
the feet so. The girls nowadays
have such big feet. dislike 1t very
much. I believe girl ought to be
pretty.
"Of course. But it, is, no longer
considered beautiful to have little
feet, or little anything. Al girl is
lovely according to her proportions
and according to her degree of health.
There Is no reason why she should
Lbe handicapped in any such fashion.
She has handieaps enough without
creating any. And boys need good
healthy feet. too. Give them a
chance to air their feet these good
warm days and so tone up their
nerves and muscles Feet are SO
very important and so much ne-
elected.

EVERYDAY QUESTIONS
AnsOered BY DR.. S. PARKES CADMAN

by Dr. DE-. 5. Psrkes cadman. president 81 the
America. DR.. cadman seeks to answer In.
Cuiriss that appear 20 be representative Of
which he receives.
SAN FRANCISCO. Calf.
We are told in Exodus xiv.22 and
were as a wall to the people OF
Israel on either side. Is not the idea
of a stationary wall of water" en-
tirely incredible?
Answer-The story in Exodus as
we now have it is a combination of
two distinct traditions. In one of
them the sea was swept back by "a
strong east wind" In the other the
sea retreated because Moses stretched
forth his woodworking rod.
The former tradition Is undoubtedly
the oldest, and it accords with mod
ern investigation of the probable site
of the crossing.
1t is now known that the north
west arm of the Red Sea-, called the
Gulf of Suez, was formerly connected
by shoals with a series of inland
lakes.
The crossing took place at one of
these shoals, which was swept dry
by a strong east wind blowing in
conjunction with d receding tide.
That the Imagination Of later times
should describe this event in highly
poetical language was the most nat
ural thing in the world.
Think of what the crossing meant
to subsequent history! 1t is no
stretch of Imagination to say that
modern democracy and civilization
were under the banner OF Israel on
that famous day.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala
/ am mother with a little son
who is curious about angels. What
shall tell him2
Do they now appear as in ancient
days? If not, what is your explana-
ton Of their absence? @
Answer-The word angel originally
signified a. messenger. whether Of
good or evil. Since the Christmas
anthem attributed to the angels who
sang of universal peace and good will
over Bethlehem they have been ideal
tied as incarnated expressions of the
Joy and glory of the Divine Mind.
They appear today as heretofore in
that realm of the imagintion which
William Blake said was the only real
realm and one far above all material
levels in its genuineness and power.
Those who have eyes and ears OF
the heart to see and understand them
still entertain angelic messengers and
listen to their blissful secrets.
One of Americas foremost agnos-
tics confessed that lin the night Of
death Hope sees a star and Love
hears the rustic of an angels wing,
Many who are so scientific las to
be purblind on their upper side dis
dain these celestial visitors who illu-
inmate life's griefs and enhance its
raptures.
OF course, in cold prose an angel
symbolizes the continuous communi-
cation between the God who is q
Spirit and the souls Of His children.
1t was this sense of communication
which raised the ladder stretching
from earth to heaven In exiled
Jacobs dream. 1t has since inspired
a thousand ana one canticles and
hymns, and also those sculptured fig
ures that guard so many sleeping
places Of our dead and adorn great
churches. It has created countless
beautiful tributes OF poets, prophets,
artists an lovers Of mankind.
Above all else. angels are essential
to child life and happiness.

istes the angel with q contemptuots
