a Give Lives In
FightingDreadFever
By William Z. Cannon

HAMILTON, sept. 4-tO.F.1-opot-
ted fever, dreaded disease, of the ROCKY
Mountain states, slowly is giving up its
secrets to the advance of science-but
not without its toll of Life among those
who seek to conquer it.
Caused by the bite OF an injected
tick, the disease has engaged the at
tention of scientists in the laboratories
of the Bitter Root valley and in the
Rockefeller Institute at New York.
MANY of the workers in the field
and laboratory have incurred the NAL
adv; few of them have died, martyrs
to the advance of knowledge.
Thus far, six men have died from
the disease, while eight are listed
among the dead who died during their
conquest of the fever.
The name of Or. Howard Taylor
Ricketts,, who proved the tick theory
that the little animals carried the in
lection and laid the foundation for
subsequent research, heads the list. He
died from typhus May 3, 1910 while
on trip to Mexico City.
Dr. Thomas B. McClintic, the first
scientist to die from the disease as
result of his experiments, contributed
valuable papers on the habits of ticks,
the disease itself, and possible remedies
before his death in 1912 He had
worked little more than year in the
vicinity of Victor.
The second victim was THE Little
Doctor of the New School" DR.. Arthur
McCray, who studied the animals and
the disease with hope of locating a
vaccine. He contracted the fever while
innoculating a guinea pig with the
disease in the Helena laboratory. He
was state bacteriologist at the time.
An Unknown Soldier" is listed
among the valiant workers who lost
their lives in combating the fever. I'm
named. an account of his death is con-
tanned in reports of experiments by
DR.. Hideyo Noguchi, japanese scientist
for the Rockefeller Institute.
A bronze tablet at the Montana State
College bears the names OF two stu
dents who died in the conquest OF
spotted fever. They are William Edwin
Gettinger, who died after experiments
at the west Hamilton laboratory, and
Arthur LIE Roy Kerlee.
Kerlee, native of the Bitter Root
valley, was impelled by an Unborn de-
sire to rid the district of the scourle
of spotted fever. His zeal, associates
said, carried him beyond the bounds
OF caution, and he died shortly after
taking UP work in the Hamilton lab
oratories.
Kerlee, whose death occurred In 1929,
was innoculated with the vaccine dis
covered four years before by DR. f.
r. Spencer, who last week was awarded
the gold medal OF the American Medical
Society for his research on spotted
fever
One Of the oldest field workers, in
point of service, George Henry Cowar
OF the United States health service
died of the malady in 1924, after L
years work. His chief job was trapping
ticks.
Tho names of both Drs Ricketts, anc
Noguchi were included in the list o.
heroic workers who contributed to the
prevention and cure Of spotted fever
The little Japanese scientist died or
the Gold Coast of West Africa year
ago from yellow fever. His work IN the
Bitter Root valley laid the ground
work for the discovery OF the vaccine
by DR.. Spencer.

the fire in fresh cold water that has
added to it one carrot, an onion, several

cloves, some celery stalks and parsley
and one-fourth cupful Of molasSes.

gents who fall for brides of so cents,
or larger ones, indeed When first con-
victed people cried, Now we can view
our courts with pride, now justice shall
prevail; this rascal thought he was i'm

for threats of law and jail" We all
exulted when we heard the law had
cinched this erring bird, and given him
10 years; it seemed, in sooth, to vindi-
cate the courts and set the statutes
straight, we heard the news with cheers.
But when I saw the broken man eS-

But it's fearful thing, my friends, to
see a big man when he wends from
freedom to a cell, to see genius in
a jail-it is the saddest sort of tale that
any man can tell. There was a surging
crowd of men to see him starting for
the pen, felon, broken, tired, and they
had planned to hiss and whoop, so glad
to see him in the soup. whom once they
had admired. But silence falls upon
them all, and no one springs a hooking

Exercise for the Eyes.

As the eyes are the most beautiful
and expressive part of the face they
should receive the attention that they
deserve. For the eye can be sparkling
and vivacious with radiant health or It
can become lusterleSS and dull, and thus
mar the beauty Of an otherwise lovely
face
Wrinkles about the eyes form very
quickly, partly because the skin there
Is very delicate; but very often these
wrinkles are q result of eyeStrafn or
poor general health. Every one realizes
the value of exercises for other parts
Of the body, but a great many fail to
consider that eye muscles, too, need ex-
ercise, rest and relaxation. Those en-
gagged in sedentary occupations often
keep their eyes focused downward for
several hours q day, and SO the mus
cles which are intended to move the
eye in other directions are sadly neg
lected In addition to exercise. the eyes
need an occasional rest during the day
One dear old lady whose eyes sparkle
and shine with youthful enthusiasts,
even though her years are fast ap-
preaching the fourscore mark, claims
that the reason for 1t Is that all her
life she has made q practice Of exer-
them for short intervals frequently
during the day. She relaxes her whole
body, including her eyes, by closing
them for several minutes three times a
day, and she exercises her whole body
including her eyes, twice q day, every
night and morning, just as regularly as
she brushes her hair and creams her
face and eats her well chosen diet.
The following exercises and rest pc
RODS will do much to keep normal eyes
not only beautiful but strong and Wig
orous.
Several times during the day close
your eyes and keep them closed while
counting to 20. Open them and look
at bright light. Again count 20. then
close them again and repeat. Do this
five or six times.
Next focus the eyes on a point as far
distant as possible, preferably something
green, like a tree or landscape, and
hold them there while counting to 20.
Change the focus of the eye to a near
point about the distance of an arms
length from the eye. Count to 20
Then look at the distant point again
and repeat this exercise half dozen
times, focusing the eye first on the
distant point and then on the near
point. This is q splendid exercise to
practice while taking a daily walk or
when in the country. where there are
the great tall green trees to focus the
eyes upon.
Next hold the head erect and by
rolling the eyeball look first to the left

on down to the ground and then slip
ped underneath those big, broad leaves
Of the skunk cabbage plants. It didn't
take him a minute to find out that
he had been right. There, nicely hid
den beneath the big leaves, was Mrs.
Quack's nest, and Mrs. Quack was on
It. Chatterer couldn't see a single egg,
because Mrs. Quack covered them COM
pletely.
Chatterer's mouth began to water.
How he did wish that Mrs. Quack would
get of that nest He began to wonder
how he might get her of. But, though
he thought and thought. he couldn't
think of any way that he could get
Mrs. Quack of that nest. She hadn't
seen him yet, for he had been very
quiet. He was back Of her now and he
began to wonder If he might be able
to tear away part of the nest and
steal an egg right from under Mrs.
Quack. Anyway it would do no harm
to try.
So Chatterer crept forward inch by
inch. He made no sound. Inch by inch
he crept until he was right back Of the
nest. There was little clulmp of alderS
that the nest backed up against. Chat
terer had crept up behind those alders.
Now he reached out a paw and began
pulling at the back Of that nest. All
the time his mouth watered more and
more as he though what feast one
of those eggs would provide. Perhaps
thinking of those eggs made him a
little careless. Anyway. something hap
pened and it happened with great sud-
denness, and right then and there
Chatterer changed his mind He didn't
want any eggs. All he wanted was to
get away from there. Mrs. Quack had
turned suddenly and struck him hard
blow with that stout bill of hers.

OUR CHILDREN
By ANGELO PATRI

right now. I am asking for q certain
quality of service greatly needed by
mothers and children.
When you take child who is failing
at home and at school to the usual
physician and ask him for a thorough
examination of this child and offer no
list of troublesome symptoms, the doc
tor is at loss. But what Is the mat
ter with him?" he asks, his tone tinged
with Impotence.
"Oh, he just doesn't make the grade.
He doesn't eat right, he doesn't play
right, he doesn't get good marks in
school Oh yes, he passes, but he just
isn't right" Say that to the usual ply
stefan and he is through with you. His
notion is, Tell me what is the matter
with him and I'll tell you what to do
with him" The best you can get in the
way of examination is a report on his
height and weight, his vision, hearing,
heart and lungs. And that is not
enough. There Is something more.
What We want is somebody who
knows the characteristics of childhood
with the inner light of the spirit, as well
as the outer light of the medical books
We do not want medicine as much as
we want light. Now, the usual physi-
clan is not equipped to shed that light
and am begging for young women who
want to do some useful work in the
world before establishing their own
families to work in this field.
want more time spent in the exami-
nation and testing, more time spent in
following up. It won't do to tell a
mother, This child needs diet. And he
needs IL hours sleep. Give him two
hours OF free play. Guard him against
fear. Keep him In touch with helpful
playmates. Have his tonsils and ade-
noids out as soon as you can. I'd advise
the Shick test, and smallpox vaccina-
ton. And this Spring vaccination
against typhoid. Come again If you
think it is necessary"
That Is no good. 1t does not 60 far
enough. What I'm asking for is the
physician who has an organization like
clinic. All children born under his
care are charted, followed through until
maturity. The right service will call up
the homes and remind them that such
day is the day for John Thomas to
appear for attention. The doctor is to
train the home people, fathers and
mothers and grandparents in the care
of children
OF course, know that much Of this
is against the tradition of the doctor
office. I want new tradition. 1 want
the doctor who will take every little pa
tient as a long-term job and see it
through. Most Of the medical students
am acquainted with shake their heads.
Not for them is this departure. I'm
pinnipg my faith on the young women.
Maybe they can see the children's need
and go out to help them Especially in
the country. You find such men as
Emerson and Richardson in the cities,
but the smaller towns, nobody. Here is
a career for young women.
