Secrets of Health

Jaws are moved and it has not
yet assumed large proportions.
This pain is felt below the ear.
It is rare for only one parotid
gland to become inf e t e d,
Usually the enlargement of the
first precedes the one on the
other side of the neck by day
or two. Occasionally it takes a
week or more.
The swelling grows larger un.
til the third day. 1t remains
stationary for two or three days
and then slowly grows smaller.
In way one might say that
the more severe the case the
larger is the swelling. Some
times it is so great as actually
to disfigure the expression of
the child.
With the swelling there is
fever. In mild cases this ranges
from 100 to 101 degrees Fahren-
heit. In some cases from 102
to 1O4.
Orchitis is often serious
complication in mumps espe-
cially during adolescence. Less
severe complications may occur
in adolescent girls. Sterility has
been known to result in boys.
1t is often due to the fact that
the child has been permitted to
leave the sick bed too soon.
Occasionally the kidneys are
involved in mumps, also nervous
manifestations.
Mumps is a disease in which
the house or school or institu-
ton should be quarantined for
three weeks.
However, if a healthy child
is exposed to a case of mumps
the chances are that the disease
will be transmitted. Particularly
is this true as between brothers
and sisters in a family.

Mumps is contagious dis

gland Is involved, namely the
parotid. Usually both parotids
are diseased, one on each side
of the neck. The other salivary
glands may also become In
volved.
The three pairs Of glands
which secrete and pour saliva
into the mouth cavity are the
parotld, the submaxilliary and
the sublingual.
Each parotid gland is Just
under and in front of the ear.
The sublingual is below the Jaw
and under the tongue, while
the submaxilliary is behind it.
Exactly what the poison or
germ may be that causes
n1umps remains unknown.
But one case spreads to an
other, from one person coming
into contact with another.
Children and young adults
are most often affected, espe-
clally those between age 4 and
u. Infants seldom contract

Mumps is a disease which
seems to be more frequent in
the spring and autumn and
more likely to appear in cities
than in rural districts.
The length of time between
the appearance of the symptoms
and the 1nfectlon-the so-called

At Finldys0n

other side. Mr.. Wickstrom was
aroused by the flash but did not know
it had struck until he noticed a red
glow in the garage. He tried to get
the truck out alone but had to call
help from neighbOr before being
successful and by the time the truck
was safe the other cars were burning
and il was impossible TO save them.
The Buick was not insured. but the

The building was frame with tin

There was very little wind and il

TO BE DISCUSSED
Pine City Has Made Big Preparations
for its Independence Day
Celebration.

The group in charge of the Fourth
made elaborate plans and are in
earnest preparation for the coming
event which commentaries the Goth
anniversary of the opening of the rail
road through the village. The cele-
bration is being put on in honor of
the old settlers. 1t is hoped that
many of the old settlers, particularly
those that have moved away from
town, will attend so that they may
join in the parade and observe from
point of vantage, the village which
has grown from their early efforts.
All the elements of a good old
fashioned celebration will be there;
the salute of 100 guns at sunrise will
start the day and it will end with the
fireworks and the dance in the eve
ming. There will be the parade in
the morning, the band concerts, the
free shows, aerial circus and flights,
and the merry-go-round going on dur
ing he entire day.
A Fourth of July celebration with
out the pie-eating contest, the tug-of-
war, and the various races would be
no celebration, says the committee,
and adds that at this one there will
be all of those events and many other
attractions besides.
Before the fireworks in the evening,
there will be swimming races, swim
ming exhibitions and canoe jousts.
The fireworks display will be put on
across the lake from the armory so
that it can be watched from the west
and village side of Cross lake.
Prizes will be awarded for the old

WASHINGTON Letter
Bv y ODaley

Washington, June 25-Wearily and
hopefully, Senate and House leaders
are looking forward to adjournment
the end of this week. The session has
been almost continuous since Presi-
dent Hoover was inaugurated, and
while there were many explosive poll
teal discussions, only two major
items were passed-the Tariff Act
and the Federal Farm Board law.
The record shows that Hoover Jared
only moderately well at the hands
of this Congress, although he had a
strong majority in the House and
theoretically and numerically, at
least, a majority in the Senate. He
got nearly what ne wanted in the mat
ter Of farm relief and a tariff act
which included the flexible tariff
clause. His major reverses were suf-
fered in the overwhelming rejection
of his veto upon the Spanish War vet
terans pension bill and the defeat of
his nominee, John j. Parker of North
Carolina, to be an associate justice
of the United States Supreme Court
The second session Of the list Can
gress has been characterized by al
most unprecedented bitterness be-
tween the two houses. Much impor-
tant legislation has gone down to de-
feat, after having been fully con-
sidered and voted upon merely be-
cause the House and Senate refused
to compromise.
Speculation is rife as TO Mr.. Hooy-
er's reason for being almost prema-
