GUARD AGAINST SCARLET
FEVER


eff parents could be taught tt
realize that the after effects of mos
of the so-called children's disease
are often more serious than tn
original illness, greater care would
be taken to protect children fron
catching each others diseases" DR.
R. H. Riley, Chief of the State
Bureau of Communicable Diseases
said in commenting on the prevail
ence of scarlet fever in the countiee
this winter.
Scarlet fever" he continued, ii
one of the most serious OF thesT
neighborly' diseases because of tn
damage it so often does to the heart
The kidneys or the ears. 1t is YER,
contagious and grown-ups as well a
children are likely to take the
disease if exposed to it. Studies o.
the records show that one out
every two children who come ir
contact with scarlet fever, come
down with the disease, and one OF
of every twenty grown ups. Out
a total of 1883 cases reported
the State Department of Health i
1925, among people of all ages, over
one half occurred among childre,
from five to fifteen years old
Each new case comes directI'
from some previous case. A milo
case is just as catching as the NOR
severe cases and just as damaging
in its after effects. The disease i
spread through the discharge from
the nose, throat and ears of those
who are ill with scarlet fever. J.
number of cases have been traced
too, to milk handled by carrier
person who had recovered from
the disease or who had been in con
tact with it.
1.-THE first thing to do after chill
develops any of the symptoms usu
ally associated with scarlet fever
a chill, vomiting, sore throat and
high fever-is to send for a docto
md then to follow his directions
The sooner you get the doctor, tho
better. The sick child should be-
kept in room by himself, CAREFUL
Isolated, from the rest of the house
hould. Hankerchiefs or cloths use
by the sick child should be burned
Knives, forks, spoons, dishes or othe!
utensils used in the sick room
should be sterilized in boiling water
Only by careful observance of these
precautions and keeping all persons
away from the sick child except the
doctor and the mother or other per
son who is nursing the one who is
i'll, can the disease be kept from
spreading to Others"

Seek Synthetic Rubber

The Amazon district of Brazil is the
great rubber-producing country of the
world, for more than half of the total
supply comes from there. The feder-
ated Malay states, the Congo region,
Portuguese West Africa, the east
coast of tropical Africa, Rangoon,
Penang. Borneo and Mexico, the West
Indies and Central America are the
other rubber-produeing districts.
About one-tenth of the total yield
comes from the Congo.
The rapidly Increasing cost of the
article has aroused experimenters,
who have produced substances that
have some of the qualities of rubber.
1t is not improbable that they may
ultimately succeed. as the chemists did
in producing artificial indigo. in max
ing real rubber by synthesis.

Few persons would think of the air

a structure which once may well have

Elsewhere, within two or three
years, this method of investigation
has revealed new earthWorks, one

URGES FREE TREES TO HIDE
SIGNBOARDS

The free distribution of trees for
roadside planting by the State For
estry Department to communities
and individuals in rural sections will
help to hide conspicuous signboards
from the view of motorists, Karl E.
Pfeiffer, Assistant State Forester,
says.
At the present time there is no
appropriation provided for the
planting of trees on the sides of
State highways. F.. w. Besley,
State Forester, has declared himself
in favor of such an appropriation,
asserting Objectionable signboards
would be hidden by the trees.
Mr.. Pfeiffer explained that young
trees are being furnished form the
State Nursery for roadside planting.
Communities wishing to improve
entrance to their town on main
highways have requested supplies OF
young trees to plant on each side
of the roadway.
Conditions governing the free dis
tribution of the trees limit the
supply to the number required for
less than a mile of planting. Spac-
ing of the trees is from forty to
sixty feet apart.
1.-The free distribution of trees is
along the same line as the idea of
hiding obnoxious signboards from
roadside view," Mr.. Pfeiffer said.
while the trees are only five to
they eventually will grow enough to
prevent the erection of signboards
where they are planted. 1t is up to
the community or, individual re
questing the trees to determine
where they shall be placed most ad-
vantageously for Identification pur-
poses. They are not forced to plant
the trees where the most signboards
will be hidden, however"
The Community Club of Preston,
Caroline county, recently applied to
the Forestry Department for enough
trees to extend a quarter OF mile
on the State road approaching the
town from the western side. Other
requests have come from Grauts-
VILE, Garrett county; Massey, Kent
county; Middletown and Frederick.
The plan to distribute the trees
was started last year by the Forestry
Department. Shipment of the trees
: is paid for by the one asking for
them, Mr.. Pfeiffer said. Black wal
: nut, American elm, white ash, black
locust, honey locust, tulip popular
and cypress are the species of trees
available for distribution.

Early Affairs Ablaze
With Human Sacrifices

Throughout the ages men have made
human sacrifices whenever they were
under adversely and felt that the gods
were athirst. II. G. Wells paints
graphic picture of a scene that may
have occurred in the dawn of a pre-
historic day about the vast stone al
tars- on the Wiltshire uplands at Stone.
henge, in England-the Druid priests
with horribly painted masks, the air
of festivity among the people who
have come wearing their very best
skin garments for the occasion and
the helpless victims gazing toward the
distant smoking affairs upon which
they are to die.
AS time went on, the practice of
human sacrifice became more elab-
crate. The reasons and occasions for
human sacrifice were cOdified. The
most civilized races decided that an
entire community might be cleansed
of an epidemic or saved from other
calamity by this barbarous means.

THE TREE OF LIFE ETERNAL

Evangelist John Moses Baker
There's a bright and happy land,
Over on the golden strand;
No more burdens for the weary
one to bear
Loved ones who have gone before,
Wait our coming on that shore,
BY the tree of life Eternal, over
there
Soon We'll lay our burdens down,
And attain a robe and crown;
A Mansion in that City, bright
and fair.
All the conflicts will be Ger
Safe at home forever more,
BY the tree of Life Eternal, over
there
We are going bye and bye,
To this happy land ON high,
When the toiling time is over and
the care.
Tell the story of His Love,
In our Fathers house above,
BY the tree of Life Eternal, over
there.
