SECRETS OF
HEALTH


YOUR children are still liable
Il to certain "children's diseases
spite of the fact that the natural
laws of their causation are known
to science.
There are two Of these diseases
-maesles and chilckenpox-to
which wish to call your atten.
ton today.
Measles is a very infectious
disease. It has the unfortunate
characteristics that 1t is at its
most infectious stage before the
rash appears, and so usually
passes unfecognized until 1t is too
late. It is conveyed only rarely
by inanimate objects, as you will
see from what follows. It Ii of
the greatest Importance that you
and the public generally should
recognize the early symptoms
and be on the lookout. Measles
should be avoided wherever pos
sible. Adults rarely die Of it,
but small babies may. It always
carries with 1t some chest com.
plication which may vary from
slight bronchitis to severe pneu.
monia, and 1t is one of the dis.
eases most liable to be followed
by permanent trouble such as
tuberculosis, deafness, etc.
It may occur at all ages, ex-
cept that children under three
months are largely immune. 1t
is most prevalent before the sew
enth year, and the death rate is
higher in the second year of life
than at any other time. Its sea-
sonal prevalence Is in the VIM
ter and spring. The usual incu.
baton periods il 10 to IA days,
but contacts must always be
watched for three weeks before
it is assumed that they have
escaped infection.
The first symptoms are quite
undistinguishable from those of
O. common cold, except that the
"cold'' is more severe than the
average winter catarrh, and there
is q peculiar heaviness about the
eyes, which are red-rimmed and
'.runny." A suspicious cold should
always be shown to a doctor,
who will look inside the mouth
for certain little spots which are
always found at this stage and
which prove that the case is one
of measles. At first these spots
are bluish-white specks, the size
of a PINS head, seen on the
gums and cheeks. Later they
turn yellow, and they disappear
altogether when the rash comes
out.
The rash appears on the fourth
day as small, raised red spots:
the ear or on the face and chest.
They soon spread all over the
body aDd tend to run together

ance. All patients suffering from
measles should be in bed and
under a doctors care.
Chickenpox Is a mild but ex.
tremely infectious disease. It is
communicated both by direct and
indirect contact. The great ma.
jority of patients are under 10
years Of age, but adults who have
not had 1t are very liable to be
attacked. 1t has no connection
whatever with smallpox and gives
no protection against 1t. The in.
cubation period is IL to n days
and the initial symptoms are
vague and few; there may be
some fever, malaise and pains.

They seemed to have accepted a
uniform drabness and q certain
flabbiness of spirit as the normal
status of married women over

find a certain dramatic interest
in having numerous novel and
acute ailments. They were al.

their symptoms and operations.
Some OF them had Sinking Spells.
/ never discovered what made
them sink. They just sank. But
there was always a good deal OF
excitement when these spells
happened.
They took a great deal of pat
ent medicine but, outside of that,
! never heard of any sustained ef.
fort to put themselves in good
condition. Many Of them were
overweight and suffered from
fallen arches. But they did not

More Tragedy.

No more upon the village ways do
we behold j. Jimpson Whale: he left
the town between two days, and ably
covered up his trail: the cops have
tried some clues to raise, but all their
efforts don't avail. The merchant
princes wiring their hair. and tell of
heavy sums he owes, mad should they
meet him anywhere they'll surely
smite him on the nose; he borrowed
money here and there, converting
friends to bitter foes. When night
was dark and fog was dense, away to
unknown parts he swung. with bor-
rowed guilders. dimes and pence. and
kopecks from the trustful wrung, and
there's no word in his defense, since
all who knew him have been stunS.
Yet once his credit had no flaw in any
quarter of the town: the checks were
good that he would draw. he had an eX-
cellent renown; to gain his patronage.
so Draw, the merchant princes tracked
him down. His boys and girls grew
up apace, and divers sad things came
to pass; they were too much inclined
to chase with young folk of richer
class; if some had diamonds, twas
disgrace for them to deck themselves
with glass. The parent who can
sternly. rise and bid his children to go
slow, is so supremely great and wise,
so much of courage does he show. ne S
rare as birds of paradise. as rare as
roses in the snow. j. Jimpson could
not bear to frown upon his lasses and
his lads; he could not bear to turn
them down, as children were by old"
time dads: and so one night he jumped
the town, and owed about billion
scads. WALT MASON.

SCHOOL GROUNDS
ASSISTANT ASKED
Municipal Architect Harris
Urges Need for Beautify-
ing Play Yards.

Another plea for the appointment oil
an assistant with knowledge OF horti
culture to aid in Identification of pub
lie school yards and Fairgrounds is
contained in the annual report of Mu
nicipal Architect Albert L. Harris
made public today by Engineer Com
missioner William b. Ladue. A SINH
lar request was made by Mr.. Harris
in his last annual report, but it went
unheeded.
Despite the lack of the proposed
horticulturist assistant. Mr. Harris
reported that some progress has been
made in the development of school
grounds.
Health School Work Cited.
"Small allotments have been al
lowed by the school board for grading
purposes and surfacing of play
grounds" he said, but in one case
only has any real attempt been made
to adequately treat the surrounding
property of a school building. That
building was the Health School al
Thirteenth street near Allison street,
where on the south front a simple for
NAL garden with stone walks and
flower beds has been laid out and a
sun dial placed in the middle. 1t is
hoped that before next Summer flower
beds and shrubbery may be installed
80 as more fully to develop the begin
ming made this year.
Studies have been made of the
planting Of the grounds of the more
recent school buildings, and with more
adequate appropriations these plans
will be developed. 1t is the aim of
this office to make the approaches
and surroundings of the schools as at
tractive as possible.
Advice as to the more suitable
plants to use for the purpose also is
needed, and 1t is hoped that in the
near future provision may be made
for an assistant in the office who can
supply the advice"
Building Program Accomplished.
The report pointed out that Mr..
Harris supervised the letting of ST.
400,674 contracts for the 12-month
period ended last June 80, and an
nounced the completion during the
year of the following buildings: Fran
els, Randall and Stuart Junior High
Schools; Whittier, Barnard and Trues-
dale Elementary Schools; additions to
the mcfarland and Hine Junior High
Schools; the fourteenth police pre-
cinct, and additions to the District
Jail and the Fire Department repair
shop. Other buildings under contract,
some nearing completion, were listed
as follows: Mckinley Technical High
School, Langley Junior High School,
Woodbridge and Bruce Schools, addi-
ton to the Smothers, gymnasium and
assembly halls for the Petworth and
West Schools, the new birdhouse for
the National Geological Park and the
new addition to the Gallinger NUM-
cipal Hospital.
