! ASKED FOR BY
GLASS
BY HARRY CUsACK
Financial Editor

A bill to amend the Federal Re-
serve act so that an additional 2
per cent dividend on the paid-in
capital stock Of Federal Reserve

follows:
"Sec. Z. After all necessary ex-
penses of a Federal Reserve Bank
have been paid or provided for. the
stockholders shall be entitled to re-
ceive an annual dividend of per
centum on the paid-in capital stock,
which dividend shall be cumulative.
After the aforesaid dividend claims
have been fully met, an a64itional
dividend not to exceed per cer1tum
on the paid-in capital stock may
be paid for any year subsequent to
the year ending December 81. 1928,
out Of the net earnings of the year.
The remainder of the net earnings.
, shall be paid to the United States
as a franchise tax, except that there
shall be paid into a. surplus fund
so much of the remainder of the
net earnings as is necessary to
maintain the fund in an amount
equal to 100 per. centum of the sub
scribed capital stock of such bank"
Sec. 2. The net earnings of any
year prior to the year ending De-
cember 81, 1929, shall be disposed
of in accordance with the law ap-
plicable to the approval of this Act.

SCARLET FEVE R
BY Or. clyde w. Bosom,
Commissioner Department OF Pubic
Health, Claremont, Oklahoma

For several months to come scar
let fever will do it's best to invade
the homes and schools, and the com
ing together of many children at-
fords excellent opportunities for the
spread OF the disease.
Scarlet fever is an acute SPECIFIC
infection. characterized by sudden
onset of fever, sore throat and vom-
iting and an eruption followed by
peeling off. The fever usually lasts
about four days. The rash as a
rule appears within forty-eight
hours, starting around the neck and
spreading downwards. The cheeks
are flushed and the area about the
mouth presents a dead white pinch
ed appearance which is striking and
characteristic.
Scarlet fever is commonly spread
by direct contact. The "peeling off"
stage was formerly supposed to be
the most infectious period, and it is
difficult to correct this error. The
secretions from the mouth and nose,
and the. excretions from the bowels
and kidneys are the carriers of the
disease and all objects exposed to
such contamination should be bur-
ned or thoroughly disinfected.
The precautions against scarlet
fever follows clearly defined lines;
early recognition, prompt isolation,
and specific prophylaxis.
It is comparatively easy to prevent
the spread of the disease from
known cases. Much damage, how

Mother Goose" should be follow
ed by other attractive books held in
reserve, books which the child new
er has seen until they are brought
out as an especial treat on one of
those days when he needs to forget
his own irritability or when he has
done something worthy Of reward :.
The wise mother will find various
opportunities to use such a resource.
This method, inevitably, will cause
the child to transfer to his own bad
ly treated books something of the
care given to the special books.
Through this attitude he should de-
velop respect and right feeling for
them and acquire habits that may be
the beginning of a real love. for
books and for reading and the de-
sire to possess books and keep them
in good condition. 1t has worked
out in just this way.

THE CHILD AND HIS BOOKS
Mrs. Florence Miner

With the child's first Mother
Goose" comes the opportunity to be-
gin training him Systematically in
love and respect for books. 1t is not
enough to give him a highly colored
copy and leave him to work his
vandal will upon it. When he is
learning to walk, his footsteps are
guided and his insufficient strength
supplemented. 1t should be the same
with books.
In a more or less desultory way,
mothers or other elders in the fam
lily, according to mood or accidental
opportunity, without any real plan
or purpose, pick up child and book
and tell the story of the picture, or
better, read the text dramatically. If
the book is Mother Goose" no i'm
provising equals in effect the rhymes
that have stood the test of years. A
few reptitions and the child fits
words to picture and attempts to re-
peat the rhymes. Soon he becomes
letter perfect and then let the older
person be wary of changing a word!
Thus far most mothers go in a
spasmodic manner, but this atten-
ton should be given to the child
Systematically. There also should be
steady progress from this first
classic through all the familiar
childhood tales,-Cinderella, Jack
and the Bean Stalk, The Three
Bears, and the other time-honored
narratives. While the copies of these
books given to children need not be
expensive, the pictures even when
highly colored should be good ones,
not crude monstrosities. The book
shops are full of cheap but good
picture books. i.
Along with this interest in the
text should go training in respect
for a book a sa book and in the pro-
per treatment of one. This cannot
begin too early. Let each mother
own a really fine copy of Mother
Goose" There are several on the
market, with pictures by artists of
note, who are doing excellent illus
trations for children's books. This
book should live in Mothers book
case. To bring it out to show Dor
othy or Dick the pictures and read
the rhymes or let the child try to do
it should be an occasion of impor-
tance. Make it plain at first that
the child is not to touch the book;
Mother will turn the leaves. Let
her, as she does so, call attention to
her careful way of doing it, end to |
the fact that one never should put
his hand on the page. After the
child seems to understand how it
should be done, let him turn one for
himself. It will take several show
ings before he can turn the leaf,
it only. at the corner or the
edge. When he learns to do it nice
Iy he will take delight in being al
lowed to do all the turning. Later

CHECKING UP ON OURSELVES
Nv Robert H. Riley, M. D., DIRECTOR
Department of Health, Baltimore
Maryland

Summer is the time when school
children can be given special physl-
cal care that is more difficult in the
other months because it interferes
with school work and other actiVl-
ties of busy families. So special ef-
fort was made in Maryland this past
summer to check up on younger
school children, in order to find, not
the emergency ailments that require
immediate treatment and are seldom
neglected. but the ailments and
symptoms that do not thrust them
selves into our attention, but are
often the causes of trouble tnaC
grows and grows if it is not reme-
died. The result showed most satls-
factory general health condltlons'
but also enough preventable trou-
bles to make parents realize that u
is dangerous to quote Let wen
enough alone" just because the child
is not actually "sick."
We examined total of 3,755 chill
dren and found that $40 needed
dental care; that 3496 had bad ton
siIs infections; that 233o were un-
derveight, not because they lacked
food, but because they were getting
the wrong kind of food; that 15H
had adenoids, causing many of them
to be mouth breathers. These were
\ the outstanding results. But we al
so found that 81 children had lung
trouble that needed immediate and
serious attention, and that 81 chill
dren had difficult vision or hearing
which had not heretofore been dis
covered, but which without a doubt
was seriously interfering with their
school work and general progress.
There will be less illness this year
as a. result Of caring for these all
ments. The children will get along
better in school. Parents will have
less cause forvworry, Doctors bills
wi1I he lower. And in all, this sum-
NOR roundup was tremendously
rIorthwhiIe 10 to the State, to the
schools and to the families.

YOU CAN IF YOU WILL
By George Kessell, M. D.,
Cresco, la.

The doctor can do certain things
for his patient. The patient mas GER
! tain things he must do for himself
The two must cooperate in order
to get results.
The doctors part is to find out
what is the matter, whether the
symptoms the patient complains OF
are due to any recent or past ill
ness, faulty diet, overwork, or work
in unsanitary surroundings. Then
the doctor perhaps may prescribe
some medicine, or he may not; any
way, he will give the patient detail
ed advice as to his mode of work,
diet, rest, sleep-and play for that
matter.
The patients part is to take the
medicine, if any is prescribed, and
to follow the advice given by the
doctor-and the most important is
the advice. Too many patients still
think it is medicine they need. They
think they know. what is good for
them-they must have medicine. 1t
is dangerous to send patient away
without a prescription if you want
him to come back again. He will
manifest his disappointment by say
ing, Aren't you going to give me
any medicine% Yet nine times out
of ten it is not medicine the patient
needs, but good advice.
Here again we get into trouble.
Tell fat patient of two hundred
pounds that she must eat less, and
eat the food that will let her weight
come down to normal of one hun
dred and fifty pounds, and what does
she says? 81 have to work hard and
1 must eat. I cannot work without
eating" Tell her she must cut
down on the fattening foods, such as
sugars and starches, and branch out
into the mineral and vitamin vege-
tables, especially the green, leafy
vegetables, which the body needs
and what does she say? 81 cannot
eat cabbage because it makes gas. l
cannot eat spinach because don't
