tions of his illness, such as
a rise of temperature, etc.-be.
come apparent. In mumps the
incubation period varies con-
siderably. 1t may be three
days or longer, even up to
% days.
Usually the swelling on the
side of the neck is the first
sign that attracts attention.
With the swelling there is pain
when the jaws are moved, as in
eating. This deformity of the
neck grows larger for three
days, remains stationary for
two or three days, then gradu-
ally subsidies. In cases where
the swelling is marked, the fea.
lures of the face are dis
torted and the child is scarcely
recognizable.
Fever is always present. In
mild cases it may be 100 or
101. In more severe cases it
may range from 102 to 104.
Orchitis is often a serious
complication of mumps, espe-
cially during adolescent years.
Less severe complications may
occur in adolescent girls. Ster.
ility has been known to result
in boys. This is often due to
the fact that the child has
been allowed out of bed too
soon.
Although mumps is usually
classed as a harmless childhood
disorder, it's complications are
factors to be reckoned with.
Kidney disorders may occur
during the disease, also ner-
vous manifestations.
A case of mumps always
should be strictly quarantined.
DR.. Bisch's Daily Diet Hint
Heartburn is a common COM
plant and may be due to eat
ing the wrong food, to eating
hastily or to an upset state Of
the nerves. Some persons can
not digest certain foods and,
when they do not avoid them,
gas formation in the stomach
follows. Ice-water during meals
may also produce this symptom.
Where constipation is present
it should be corrected. In short,
find the cause for heartburn,
and remove it.

Mumps is one of the most
highly-contagious diseases in
existence. In fact, If one child
in a family contracts the dis
order-in school, let us Say-it
is miraculous If his brothers
and sisters escape.
The glands affected in
mumps are the salivary glands.
Usually it is the parotid that is
first affected, that gland which
is situated at the side of the
neck. When this becomes
swollen and a lump is seen, an
imaginary line drawn down.
ward from the lobe Of the
ear would run right through
the middle of the swelling.
After a parotid gland be-
comes involved the one on the
other side, just under and in
front Of the ear, is sure also
to become inflamed a few days
later. The sublingual gland
and the Observation-Disclosures
organs that secrete saliva
sometimes become enlarged
also, but this is not the rule.
Exactly what the poison or
germ may be that causes
mumps remains unknown. Suf-
flee it to say that whatever it
is, it surely is most virile. One
case may infect many other
persons. Direct contact, such
as actual touching, is not re-
quired for the contagion to
take hold.
Infants seldom contract
mumps, but children between
4 and IA and young adults are
most frequently affected. Dur
ing spring and autumn months
there are more cases than dur
ing the height of the summer
and winter. AS one might ex-
pect from so contagious a NAL
ady, it is more prevalent in
cities than in rural districts.
The time which elapses be-
tween infection and the ap-
pearance of symptoms in any
contagious disease is known as
the incubation period" Dur
ing this interval the germs
are developing and multiplying.

Is Doubtful, Owing to His
Jealousy
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am 20 and have been en-.
gagged to a young man for six
months. I really loved him
devotedly when we became en-
gagged, but now sometimes I
wonder if I did a wise thing in
saying eyes" He is insanely
jealous and tries to tell me
where I should go, what I
should do, and think, and when
I do something that displeases
him he sulks and pouts, instead
of telling me what I have done
that offends him. Sometimes
I feel it would be very foolish
for me to marry him, and,
again I feel I'd be terribly un-
happy without him. He is
crazy about me. sometimes.
UNDECIDED.
A jealous lover is often more
jealous than a husband. Jeal-
ouSy is a form of fear that is
very hard to cure, and you
realize so completely what may
be ahead of you, if you marry
this young man, that hardly
anything can be added to what
you have already told me.
Sometimes jealous people do
succeed in conquering the green
eyed monster, but it takes
much character and courage.
Why don't you try putting
your fiance on probation for a
given time, and see if he can
live down some of these posses
sive qualities? If he cannot, and

well for you to break with him.
I would, however, give him every
chance.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
AS a steady reader of your
column, what do you think of
this? I am %, considered
fairly good-looking, and for
two years have been quite de-
voted to a girl whom we will
call Marjorie. I have a fairly
good job, steady but not bril-
liant. Lately my girl has been
running around with someone
who not only has a snappy car
but swell allowance from we'll.
to-do parents. Loving this girl
deeply, do you think I should
step out of her life, or should
I try to win her back?
QUESTIONING.
It's pretty hard to stand up
against a rival who has a
snappy car and a generous al
lowance from doting parents.
But is there a better way Of
spelling a young man and keep
ing him from a real success
than by this method? AS you
have not been positively en-
gagged to Marjorie, I can't see
any re ason for a sweeping
gesture of renunciation. Be
friendly when you meet, and
don't censure her for her
change of heart. And, my dear
boy, it is not necessary for me
to tell you that young men
with snappy cars and nlenty
Of pocket money often change
their minds about girls. If such
a thing should happen, there
you'll be ever faithful.

Furniture Is
Exhibited Here

The furniture shown in our
photographs today is Val-Kill
furniture, made by the ValKill
Industries, of which Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt was a founder.
If you haven't already seen the
Washington exhibit of this fur
niture you will be well repaid
by special trip downtown to
see it. The following informa-
tion about the furniture is taken
from a story by Mrs. Daniel
O'Day, another one of the
founders.
"Over a little bridge and past
a swimming pool, the road
swings around and up a gentle
slope, to reach its goal at the
doorstep of a Dutch Colonial
stone cottage surrounded by sill
yer birches and tall cedars.
-Four women are joint owners
of this delightful place, Miss
Nancy Cook, Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Miss Marion Dicker-
man and Mrs. Daniel O'Day,
and hera they have started the
Waikiki industries, an enterprise
that is of absorbing interest to
them.
They are manufacturing fur.
niture. Not in the modern way
but furniture fashioned with a
craftsmanship such as was
found among the cabinet
makers of a hundred or more
years ago.
"That this venture into re-
production Of old furniture is
no idle fancy, to be dropped
when there is something more
interesting and less exacting at
hand, is shown by the fact that
it has steadily grown in the
seven years since it was opened.
"I had always been inter-
ested in starting some Ameri-
can Industry or other,' Mrs.
Roosevelt explain d, which
would employ the men and
women of the countryside and
would bring back the old tradi-
tion Of workmanship of a hun
dred years ago, and the repro
duction of old furniture seemed
the logical place for us to be-

"Of course, reproductions, no
matter how well done they are,
can never take the place of
real antiques, Of the cherished
pieces of furniture which have
been handed down in a family
from generation to generation,
and which have become a very
integral part of the life of that
family. But, unfortunately, the
Mayflower was a very small
boat, and as much as we all
might wish to furnish our
houses with its cargo, very few
of us are fortunate enough to
own chairs or tables which
came over with the Pilgrim
Fathers.
There are other sources of
old furniture, of course, besides
the Mayflower, but these are
also limited, and as the years
go on they will become more
and more limited.
"A great many of the lowell
est old pieces are in the mu-
seums, anyway, and will never
be available for everyday use.
Then, many of the old pieces
were designed for living condi-
tions which no longer exist. We
do not have the space to put
many a beautiful old sideboard
or a massive table which was
planned for use in the days
when houses were large and
square feet were not at a pre-
MUM.
IF there were enough an
tiques to supply the demand
for them, the problem would
be solved, but there are pitt
fully few remnants Of the days
of our best American craftsmen

houses and apartments which

folks would like to have filled
with them. Obviously, the next
best thing is to try to reproduce
the work of the early cabinet
makers, and to carry on not
only their designs, but their
thoroughness of construction
and their JOY in turning out in
dividual works of art.
