HEALTH TOPICS
(By DIR. William E. Miller)
SEQUELAE OR AFTER EFFECTS

The complications or after effects
that follow certain diseases are called
sequelae (seh- kwee-lee). This is a
big word and has a big meaning. All
doctors dread the sequelae or after
effects of some diseases more than
they dread the diseases. Diseases
hearts, lungs, kidneys weak digestive
organs, defective hearing and vision
and many other physical frailities may
follow certain diseases
Often a person will think himself
entirely well and recovered from a
disease when he has a dangerous COM
plication to develop. Thus doctors ha-
We become accustomed to regard all
cases of illnesses as serious until the
person is fully recovered Many people

or is not very intelligent if re insisted
the patient in bed the few day longer
because he wants to avoid all compli-
cations and sequelae, and not because
of any other reason.
Here is list of some of the most
important seque1ae that occur after
some of the common infections:
1onsilar infection may be followed by
rheumatism, heart disease, or kidney
disease.
Measles may lead to pneumonia, tub
berculosis, kidney disease, blindness or
deafness.
Scarlet fever may cause nephritis,
heart disease, ear trouble, enlarged
glands or joint trouble.
Whooping cough may end in pneu-
mania or tuberculosis
Diphtheria may damage the heart and
also cause paralysis.
Malaria many cause a nenlarged spleen,
kindey disease and a weakened body
in general.
Colds may SOW the SEED for pneumo-
&nia influenza, or tuberculosis. In
addition to these diseases chronic sinus
diseases, deafness and heart diease
may be the end result of the common
cold.

14,6OO More Jobs

Jobs for 14,6O0 more men in Indi-
ana will be provided next week as
result of approval by federal au-
thorities of state highway pro-
gram, to be finished with $780, 900
federal funds and $1,500,0O0 state
road funds.
Word of the approval of the plan
was contained in a telegram re-
ceived here from Governor Paul v.
McNutt, in Washington.
This work is not connected with
the civil works administration
projects which thus far authorize
1850 jobs, with total pay roll of
S12, $685. paid by the federal gov
eminent.
The joint state-federaI projects
will employ men drawn from ninety
counties for about three and one
half months.
The program probably will be
under way early next week as plans
for the highway program already
practically have been completed.
Widening of shoulders along high
ways will constitute most of the
new work. In some instances ad-
ditional strips Of right-of- way must
be obtained and the Governor and
highway commission joined in ask
ing property OWNERS to Cooperate
in the program by granting the
necessary land.

months of it's fiscal year had
deficit of $772, 465, 575, against a
deficit of $1,151 1886, $50 in the cor
responding period of last year,
when emergency expenditures were
considerably smaller The five
months ended Thursday.

crease in the public debt from $22,-

$23 ,534.115,772 at the end of No
vember.
Total income of the government
in the five months ended with No
vember was nearly double that of
the corresponding period of last
year, partly because of the new
taxes imposed last March. Income

The Governor said, following a
conference with the interior secre-
tary, that PWA would make a trial
allotment to some Indiana county,
and that some taxpayer in Indiana
would be induced to file a friendly
suit in court challenging the validity
of the loan.
BY this method, it is hoped to
secure a court ruling on the contro-
versy that has ragged several months
between Secretary Ickes and Indi-
ana officials. The secretary has
taken the position that under the
road bond moratorium and the $3.50
tax limit laws passed by the Indi-

municipalities of Indiana are
stopped from providing legally
acceptable security on loans that
have been solicited for public works

Only persons certified by the state

given positions. Their qualifications
will be passed upon by the state de-
partment of education, but they
need not be licensed teachers, it was
said.
The superintendent will serve as

population from 250O0O to 100000:
$50 from $500 to 100000, and $50
less than $500.
