wouldn't act on that. How could
they? Tell them of your journey,

you pulled a man out of a train,

U. S Senator from New York
Former Commissioner of Health,
New York City
In the very nature of things as
they are at present, there will be
children to have measles, and adults
to have influenza or hard colds. The
time will come when these diseases
will disappear, but that glad day
has not arrived.
For a long time doctors will be
needed to deal with these ailments.
1t is fortunate we have the medical
men.
But here is a problem: Why do
not people realize that 1t is the
| aftermath of these ailments that
is dangerous? Indeed, the after-ef-
| fects Of the troubles I have men
| toned, as well as of other diseases,
are far more important than their
immediate effects.
Nobody dies Of measles, or influ-
enza, or colds. If anybody dies, it
is because of a complication" of an
effect produced by the original dis
! ease.
The pus germs, the germs of
pneumonia. the germs of tubercu-
losis, are always watchfully waiting.
They are all ready to pounce on the
body weakened by disease.
The most important thing about
measles and influenza and such
ailments, is to get well Of the
measles or influenza without getting
something else. For that reason,
the after care of a patient is in
many respects vastly more import
ant than his care in the height Of
the disease.
In olden times, it was announced
in triumphant tones, 1.-THE fever is
broke" Yes, the fever may be
broken, the immediate danger may
be passed, but there is much left
to do. The weakened and emaciated
and debilitated victim Of disease
must be restored to strength, vigor
and renewed resistance.
I have in mind now a dear woman
who first had influenza. Then she
developed broncho-neumonia. After
the acute symptoms Of the latter
disease disappeared, she failed to
get up" as she should.
About that time I happened in
for a neighborly call and vas asked
for a professional opinion. Since her
own doctor had gone on a vacation,
T undertook an examination. This
revealed a dullneSs in the upper
part of the right lung.
A doctor doesn't like this condi-
ton. When it is associated with oc-
casional elevation of temperature q
degree or two above normal, cough
ing spells, loss Of appetite and red
cheeks. it means infection. What
sort of infection? Probably tuber-
cular.
That was what happened in the
case I have described. Lowered re-
sistance and the weakened lung, had
prepared the way for the germs Of
tuberculosis.
Let me say in strongest terms:
Don't consider yourself we'll and
ready for your ordinary duties IN
til the last evidence of disease has
disappeared.
1t is a great mistake to 60 to work
too soon. You may count yourself
a 1oafer If you stay in after the
acute symptoms have gone. You
may thing you can work off" your
ailment. This is foolish. 1t is worse
than foolish-it is positively danger
GUS.
Make sure your patient is really
we'll from measles, influenza or a
hard cold, before he is permitted to
get back to hard work.

CHOICE COLLECTION


For instance, there's the cinnamon bear from the
american northwest. Any day he may be seen pacing
IN his cage along bear walk.
There is the pigmy hippo from Liberia : rora
animal IN captivity, the gift of Harvey Firestone II
the former president.
Perhaps the most outstanding gift CooIidpe nodo
10 The national zoo is the fine pair of lions. known as
the PRESIDENTS lions. They are in the first cage Of
Ihe non row around the corner from Baby N'Ci the
gorilla. The pair was sent to the White House bv
the mayor of Johannesburg, South Africa.
1here are numerous others, smaller or less fan,i1.
lar to the %zoo-going public, but just as valuable to
the collection.
incidentally, one Of President Roosevelt's gifts
continues to reside at the ZOO, and is one of the most
popular inmates. 1t is the ostrich presented bv the
late King Menelik Of Abyssinia. The bird Is now
blind, but SO perfectly does he know his way around
the cage and the outdoor enclosure that the casual
visit would never suspect his condition.
"
ADVICE OUGHT
Coolidge's gifts to the national GEOLOGICAL nark
comprise a part Of the more than 1890 mammals
birds and reptiles housed there. The zoo functions as
a national institution just as any other government
bureau. Each weeks mail brings requests for helm
and advice in regard to animals from all over the
country.
444dG II Enjoys a ndUlOn-WlQe popularity is shown
by the fact that attendance last year totalled some
100000 persons, including hosts Of school children
in organized classes, coming from practically all of
the states in the union.
ss
EXPENSIVE CATERING
"A force Of IS men is employed by the government
to take care of the animals. Congress pays their
board bill. and a glance at the statement of food con-
sumed last year proves that these charges of the gov
eminent have anything but delicate a~ppetites.
During this period there was consumed 40 tons of
meat. 20 tons of fish, 1853 tons Of hay, $500 pounds of
onions and 1000 pounds Of salt rock-as much salt
rock as sugar.
Each month the baker uses Is pounds of flour to
make a special kind of bread the bears and some of
the other animals eat.
Their fondness for milk and eggs is shown by the
fact that 700 dozen eggs and 26 dozen cans of con-
densed milk disappeared over the 12-month period.

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT c. PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, April 6-Before we quit talking
aoouC CALVIN Coolidge and what he did while he was
II the White House, mention must be made of one
more thing-he gave more animals to the national
geological park in Washington than any other presi-
dent.
And this is not excepting Theodore Roosevelt. the
famous hunter. 80
FeraapS Coolidge's gifts to the ZOO exceeded those
o. MS predecessors because more animals were given
hln1 and Mrs. Coolidge. Be that as it may. the fact
remains that the zoo collection of rare animals was
increased materially in the administration inst con-

Charlie struck out fiercely as the
darkness rose up at him. For a few
moments he and his assailant
seemed to be tied to each other in
knots. Then a little light flicked
above him, and he found himself
