CHILDREN KILLED
BY AUTOMOBILES
Many Drivers Are Careless
in Residential and Out
lying Districts.

Approximately 81 per cent of all
persons killed by automobiles are
children under fifteen years OF .ge.
Many drivers are careful on con-
gested business streets, but careless
In residential and other districts where
children are numerous.
In spite Of the danger, many chill
dren make the street their playground,
or in chasing each other or a ball
they may suddenly dash into the street
right in front of moving vehicle.
Watch Children Closely.
A driver should assume that every
child on or near the street may dash
suddenly in front of his car You
cannot tell by looking at child what
1t is going to do. You should, there
fore, drive slowly and have absolute
control of your car:
a. Not only when children are play
ing in the street, but also when they
are playing near the curb or on the
sidewalk.
b. When passing schools or play
grounds.
C. When approaching youngsters who
are "hitching ride" on the vehicle
ahead.
e. When passing ice wagons and
street sprinklers.
+. When passing any hill that may
be used for coasting, in winter.
Timely Suggestions.
Drivers should remember the fol-
lowing:
a. Caution your own and other peo-
pies children about the dangers Of
the street.
b. Do not allow anyone to ride on
the running board, rear tire, or bump
er of your car.
skates. or in carts should not be per-
mitted to hitch on your car.
d. 1T is bad practice to give chill
dren "lift" to and from school be-
cause it encourages them to stand in
the street while hailing. Such en-
enlargement by motorists promotes
a hazard to the children and to all.
motorists.
In many communities school chill
dren are being taught safety" Auto
mobile drivers should cooperate in
this good work and take every precau-
ton to prevent accidents to children.
If you expect other persons to avoid
injuring your children, you should
take care not to injure the children
of others.

Some Worry in Getting
Gao Into a Vacuum Tank

Motorists who run out of gas on
the road frequently have trouble in
getting gas into the vacuum tank which
has run dry. If the driver stalled on
the road finds himself without fun
mel or is unable to remove the filler
plug from the vacuum tank, he need
not worry. at is unnecessary to re-
fill vacuum tank manually," says a
bulletin issued by the mechanical first
aid department of the Chicago Motor
club. IF the engine is cranked by
hand or by means of the starter, sue
ton will act upon the fuel in the
main tank and refill the vacuum tank.
One precauti0n is necessary: The
throttle should be closed. If this is
not done the engine will suck air
through the carburetor instead of
through the vacuum suction pipe"

HOW TO KEEP
WELL
DIR. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
INTESTINAL TUBERCU-
LOSIS

(@, 1926, Western Newspaper Union.)

60 MUCH has been written, talked,
~ or broadcast about consump-
ton or tuberculosis of the lungs that
many assume that it is about the only
form of tuberculosis that is of any i'm
portance. Yet this little enemy of
the human race may and does attack
practically every part of the human
body.
Outdoor Life, DIR. Lawrasen Brown
of Saranac Lake, N. T., has most
interesting article on intestinal tuber-
culosis. Probably no one in Ameri-
"a is better qualified to write on any
phase Of tuberculosis than Doctor
Brown. His early association with
Doctor Trudeau the pioneer worker in
this field, as we'll as his years of ex-
perience at Saranac Lake. have given
him an experience with this disease
such as few men have had.
Intestinal tuberculosis, he says, is
usually late complication of con-
sumption. 1t used to be regarded as
a practically hopeless condition, as
few patients ever recovered.
1t is usually caused by tuberculosis
germs coughed up by the patient from
the lungs and swallowed So the first
thing to do in preventing this condi-
ton is for all persons with tubercu-
losis to avoid swallowing any of the
sputum. This cannot be entirely pre-
vented but it should be avoided as
much as possible.
This condition comes on so slowly
and so inperceptibly that it is often
overlooked. Loss of appetite, nervous
ness and failure on the part of the
consumptive patient to improve where
there isno reason for it are the earlier
symptoms. Yet with only these slight
indications the condition may exist
for long time before it is suspected.
As the consumptive needs every posi-
BILE chance in order to get well, the
plan has been adopted at the Trudeau
sanitarium of examining every pa
tient In order to find which ones are
suffering from this disease and giving
them proper treatment.
The treatment of this condition was
formerly just as uncertain and difficult
as the diagnosis. That also has been
greatly improved in recent years and
by the same means-light. Only, while
the X-ray from the electric apparatus
is used in diagnosis the light used
in treatment is plain sunlight. The
body is accustomed to the sunlight by
exposing first the feet and ankles,
then the legs, then the shoulders. then
the body from the waist down and
finally the entire body for longer
periods each day to the suns healing
rays.

Tire Wear Doesn't Show
Score on a Speedometer

You cannot tell how many miles
tire goes by the score on the speed
ometer.
If you'll stop and think, there is a
lot of tire travel that the speedometer
can't register, for instance: When you
back up; when you skid with your
rear wheels locked, and when you
have one wheel out of line that skew
ers along the road like a bootlegger
in tow Of the law.
And while on the subject of poor
wheel alignment I'll wager that not Il
day of your existence passes but what
you see some car ambling along the
street or highway with drunken
wheel or two. If you have an album
dant sense of humor you can easily
get laugh out of the cars so afflicted.
especially if they are piloted by those
and straight and let the world go
hang.
But it is really serious matter
for the pocketbook, anyway. When the
wheel wobbleS, so does the tire. And
that means that it covers a lot more
territory than there is need of and
scrubs off some tread besides. Then.
when 1t is all over but digging down
into your jeans for the purchase price
of new tire, maybe you wonder why
you failed to get as much mileage out
of one casing as from another. 1t
is safe policy to test out the wheel
alignment of your car every so often.
You may find something that will save
you money.-Farm Life.

TAKING YELLOW FEVER

HOW does it feel to catch yellow
= \ fever? Strange to say, although
this once-dreaded disease swept the
tropics almost every year for 400 years
and millions of persons suffered from
it, few of them knew exactly when
or how they got it and none Of these
made any note of how the sickness de-
veloped.
In recent issue of the Journal of
the American Medical Association ap-
pears an article by DR.. Henry Hanson
of the International Health board of
the Rockefeller Foundation, giving his
personal experience. In July, 1919, he
was asked by the Peruvian govern
ment to investigate and report on an
epidemic of yellow fever at Piura, one
of the large cities of northern Peru.
Arriving at this city, he found nine
cases of yellow fever In the lazarettc
or local yellow fever hospital. In or
der to rule out the possibility of any of
these patients having malaria, which
in some of its tropical forms closely
resembles yellow fever, Doctor Hanson
made blood examination in each
case.
While making these examinations,
Doctor Hanson noticed that the tip
of his index finger was stained with
blood from one of these patients. He
attached no Importance to this, but
in cleaning his hands with alcohol he
fnlf eho GIFT 81,
ing that there was small break in
the skin somewhere.
The hospital was, Of course,
screened so as to exclude all mosqui-
toes, so he assumes that he acquired
yellow fever through this break in
the skin, although he might have been
bitten by an infected mosquito at some
time without knowing it.
At any rate, five days later he devel-
oped peculiarly sore throat, a strange
feeling of uneasiness and a taste Of
blood into his mouth. Headache and
pain in the back followed, finally pros
tratiOn so great he could no longer
keep on, his feet. The principal SEN
sation, he says, was general distress
with distension and tenderness in the
abdomen, so that 1t was distressingly
painful even TO try to speak. He
was in delirium practically continu-
ously, and had many strange sensa-
tons, such as floating in the air, fall
ing from great heights and roaming
through endless darkness.
After the fever had run it's course
and he had regained consciousness, he
was principally aware of an overpow-
ering weakness and an intense hunger
and thirst Several weeks were re-
quired for recovery which was event
ually complete.

Magnetic Setting Vital
to Obtain Best Results

When setting high-tension mag
neto it should first be seen that the
proper cylinder is in firing position ;
that is, both valves closed and the
piston brought up to the highest point,
which can be ascertained by running
rod or wire through the spark plug
or petcock opening.
When this point is reached the mo-
tor should be backed up one-eighth of
stroke, which is where the spark
should occur when the spark lever is
fully advanced. If it is desired to
throttle the motor down very low, the
spark plug points should be opened
until they are fully one-sixteenth of an
inch apart.

Slow Driver Is Menace
to Traffic on Highways

One of the greatest menaces to
traffic on the streets, boulevards and
even on country highways, is the slow
driver cruising down the center of the
thoroughfare.
1.-The Rules of the Road require all
slow-moving traffic-whether passen-
ger automobile, truck or bus. to keep
to the right near the curb This rule
is violated every day, and all the time.
Everywhere may be found the slow
traveller, creeping down the middle of
the driveway, blocking traffic and ac-
tually endangering the lives of others.
