SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

You are liable some time to be
4 annoyed by having your doc
tor, or your local officer Of
health put a red card or q yellow
card on the front of your house.
That is to warn people to stay
away from you. 1t likewise warns
you or some member of your
family to stay away from other
people. That is house quarantine.
Now the rules of quarantine
follow from the facts of incuba-
ton of Catching" disease. But
since medical officers hold differ.
ent opinions about how long dis.
eases are dangerous, the regula-
tons of one place are apt to
differ from those of the next. All
are agreed, however, that the child
or other victim of catching dis
ease is not so dangerous at the
end of its illness as it Is at the
beginning.
In all the infectious diseases.
except measles and diphtheria, a
child should be held to have ex-
posed his classmates II he has at.

the first evidence of the disease.
If his classmates have not been
with him for "a hours or longer
before he shows the first signs
Of i'll health, he has not infected
the school.
This rule can best be illustrated
, by simple example. For in
stance. out of seven susceptible
children in a certain classroom,
five took mumps from a child on
the day before his face started
swelling.
This is a rather high percentage
OF takes" for mumps, as a matter
of fact. On the other hand, out
of 104 susceptibles exposed to in
lection on the day the swelling
appeared, only five became Sec
ondary cases.
In measles an infected child
who comes to school on any of
the three days before his rash
appears will probably give the
disease to some Of his friends,
but il he has been kept at home
from the fourth day before his
rash, /. e., from the time the
cold in the head began, his
classmates will probably escape.
No rule, however. is invariable,
and there have been scattered
instances of children catching
measles from schoolmate on
the fourth day before the rash
was seen.
In .diphtheria 1t is impossible
to tell exactly when a child first
becomes contagious, and the
safest rule to follow is to call
every child dangerous before he
shows actual signs Of illhealth.
1t is always difficult to know
what to do with children who are
known to have been exposed to
these contagious. The drastic
measure of keeping them away
from school for the full incuba-
ton period is reasonable in the
severe infections like diphtheria
scarlet fever and measles, but
many parents would prefer their
children to take a chance for the
milder infections rather than be
constantly keeping them away
from school for periods of two
or three weeks. An arrangement
that proved satisfactory at one
school was to allow susceptible
children to stay at school up to
the day when secondary
cases might be expected to ap.
pear, but to make each child
bring certificate that its tenn.
perature was normal and that it
had shown no signs Of ill.health

other, no doubt. 1t does seem as If the professor
had in the language of the day, said something. Just
what it proves, however, is another matter.
At first glance his statement would seem tc
imply a sharp criticism Of modern educational
institutions And doubtless these institutions have
many faults which it would be easy to enumerate
at considerable length.
Yet their supposed inability to cope with youths
like Lincoln Jefferson, Franklin and Cleveland
doesn't prove much of anything except that genius
is always hard to handle.
Lincoln or a Jefferson is separated from the
rest of us by wide gulf-a gulf that is as wide IN
youth as it is in manhood. He is not normal and
never can be; will not and cannot abide by the
rules and formulas that the rest of us live by We
never understand him. Often enough we dislike and
suspect him. But he ends by leading us and helping
to shape the course of our civilization

says; probably is.
But it doesn't necessarily mean that our colleges

Why Coolidge Sits Tight,

The man who is criticised for talking too little
escapes the graver danger Of saying too much
There's Calvin Coolidge for illustration.

presidential ambitions want him to say out loud
whether he intends to retire or be candidate for
another nomination
And canny Calvin doesn't say a WORD. just Keeps

That bothers the other fellows They don't know

he won't run again. all the jobholders would get busy
hunting another coatta to tie to. At the next session
of Congress- the Presidents influence would be nil
We told that it is the nature of rats to desert

The tightlipped occupant of the White House, by
keeping his own counsel commands the situation. The
jobholders afraid to desert him, because they
would of luck if he should later, decide to run;
for they know he can get the nomination if ne wants
it. They also know that. unless Democrats show

holders federal jobs but also those who hold state
county and municipal jobs and want a presidential
candidate who can pull them through to victory.
But that isn't the only advantage held by the
President who knows how to hold his tongue.

Abraham Lincoln Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin
Franklin and Grover Cleveland would never get de-

He explains himself thus
Lincoln probably wouldn't go to college at all
because of the expense. If he did his mind would
have outrun all bounds and been unwecome in the

Cleveland had very slow and deliberate habit
