Readers Opinions

The Lathers have observed that
the conditions prevailing in the
territory of the Dam site disCloses
the crying need for organization
by the Workers and Farmers.
There will be no New Deal for
the workers except through an or
Ganized struggle against those who
profit from the sweat and blood of
the Workers and Farmers.

Typhoid Fever

H
Typhoid fever is an infection
disease and can be prevented.
During the Spanish American
war when we had lO7 900 soldier
in the army there we're 10000 case
with 1880 deaths-at about tbs
same time the British had 380,OO|
in their army with $1,000 cases
and 5000 deaths-but due Ito ty
phoid vaccination during tht
world war when we had 100000
men and women in the army there
were only 213 deaths from this
disease. The reason for such 6
low mortality rate was due to this
meacure.
Typhoid fever occurs most often
during the months of September
and October and usually attacks
young adults from Is to Is years
of age. The older you are the less
liable to be infected.
The modes of infection are sever
al the most frequent beng water
sometimes food such as milk, butter,
cheese and raw oysters-by flies
that come ia contact with a per-
o. who has the disease and by
direct contact with a person who
has it.
From the time of exposure to
typhoid until you notice the first
symptoms of the diseaseitis usually
about 10 to IA days.
There is generally a slight aching
of the body, a dull and constant
headache, loss of appetite, weak
ness, drowsiness during the day
and disturbed sleep at night. Some
times there is a chill at the outset
and since this is a disease of the
small intestines it is surprising to
ktow that bronchitis is often a
and early symptom. Nose
bleed is more common in typhoid
than any other infectious disease
and of course there is a slight rise
in temperature bnt not a rise in
pulse rate. Gas a rule for every de-
GREE of fever there is an increase
of ten beats of the pulse a mlnute)
This fact is one of the symptoms
that the doctor depends upon to
make a diagnosis. There are also
laboratory tests that con-
firm his suspicion.
The mortality rate in infants and
children is much higher than in a.
lults and may be ushered in with |
vomiting and Convultions. {
Death usually results from a per- |
Grafton of the intestines with per- |
or from hemorrhage in the c
Intestinal tract.
Since typhoid fever is long and
lingering disease-one case out of t
i've die when not vaccinated-and {
an be prevented almost for certain +
vaccination, it is no wonder at
II that the army employs it as :
yell as the navy and marine corps ;,
Or their men. ;,
There is no specific cure The
ure lies in its prevention, boil
our doubtful drinking water, cook o
our food well and be vaccinated lie
gainst it. y
The remarkable control of typhoid T
,ver through vaccination is one
the great conquests of medical v
cience. In 1923 there were ~, d
80 cases in the United States vi
lat were reported.
Vaccination is usually carried ;,
1t by administering subcutan- "A;
,usly (under the skim three :.
1ses at intervals of 7 to 10 days,
nd the duration of immunity is
;ually considered to be about two OF

The living room, then, is the
room which you should put the
most effort into, the room which
should always be done in good
taste, and to suit your own
ideas, even if you may have to
skimp a bit on the rest of the
house.
Time to Make Changes
And this is the season of the
year when we should start think
ing all over again about our
living rooms. not to mention
the rest of the house. Slip COW
ers will soon be coming off.
Fabrics beneath will show up

Using light than we remember
them.
Another season of wear and
tear, springs may be sagging a
little in chairs and davenports,
each table has received a few
more scratches.
Refurbishing Needed
Some of your furniture is no
doubt perfectly capable of going
through another year, some Of
it through lifetime. But there
are those of us who must
fill in with a few new pieces,
and still others who will make a
clean sweep of the old and start
all over again.
Unless you have a room full
of heirlooms, or are collecting
antiques, nothing is more re-
freshing than a general clear
ing-out. You can start with a
whole new decorative scheme,
with a new period, or with
some of the exciting modern
furniture that is seen so much
these days.

your first fall entertaining. It
is the room that will welcome

The American people wear
out every day over 100000 pairs
of shoes. Neither China, which
has four times our population,
nor India which has three times
our population, consumes so
much shoe leather in a year as
does the United States.
No other country on earth re-
quireS so many shoes as we do
here in America. The United
States produces in year from
300 to $50 million pairs. To
keep our more than 100 million
inhabitants shod is a big indus
try, and to keep large part
of them handsomely shod is an
occupation calling for the high
est skill.
American women have
learned many lessons during the
depression, but perhaps none
that is so valuable as to dis
tinguish between good merchan-
disc and shoddy limitations. We

Colorful wooden tweed suits
and coats are coming. and
how grand they sound! They
are somewhat like the tWeedS
we have already, but there are
individual touches about them
that the American designers
haven't achieved so far.
Town coats have capelets, fur
sleeves, boleros, some of them
with bloused backs. Haven't we
mentioned all those things?
And much mention is made of
dyed furs. The boleros and
capelets are often bordered with
long-haired furs.
Metals With Fabrics
Metal is used in fabrics,
usually combined with plain
fabric, and also is woven with
threads of other textiles to
make materials -. in other
words, metal cloth is combined
with crepe or satin, and metal
threads are woven with silk,
wool or synthetics.
Long black cocktail gowns
with metal sleeves or metal or
beaded trimming feature i'm
portantly in the importations.
Steel is a favorite, used with
black, and some of the black
gowns are severely plain, almost
tailored, and without any trim
ming.
Evening gowns are varied, in
spired by, many periods, are
both sophisticated and demure,
and some silhouettes are daring.
Gowns are severe, or they are
bead embroidered or trimmed
with paillettes. All are elegant,
smart and luxurious looking.
