WHAT IS-OR ARE-MUMPS

WHAT IS-OR ARE-MUMPS
Webster says that mumps is con-
tagious disease characterized by
swelling of the glands of the neck.
Let's hope Webster's knowledge
Of English usage is better than his
knowledge Of medicine - for
mumps has (the Oxford Diction-
airy Of Modern English Usage per-
mits "have", thought, if you like,
anyway it has or they have moth
ing to do with the glands of the
neck, though folks do delight in
calling swollen neck glands,
mumps.
AS the scientific name (acute
epidemic parotiditis) implies, the
gland that is chiefly involved in
mumps is the parotid gland--and
the parotid, as its name implies,
is the gland "around or near the
ear" 1t is a big fellow. located in
front of the ear and more than
below the jaw. When it is swollen
it becomes extremely tender and
painful; and the patient drinks
anything sour, sharp pain runs
through it, and confirms the di-
agnosis," as we'll as hurting the
patient.
In adults, or in children past
the beginning of puberty, other
glands may be involved, especially
the tests or the ovary. Hence ex-
IRENE care, bed rest and light
feeding is desirable, especially for
older youngsters. The disease is
highly contagious; and as its incu-
baton period is sometimes as long
as four weeks, it is difficult to
stamp out. once it breaks into the
school year.
There is no specific, either for
prevention or for treatment.
Put the child to bed, and call the
doctor. And don't call swollen
neck gland. humps.

Herald To Suspend Publication

Owing to impaired health and resultant inability to carry on the multiform duties of publisher, manager, editor, re- porter, linotype operator, print CT and office boy without ade- quate assistance-which cannot be profitably employed under present restricted conditions the publisher, ct cetera, has de- cided to temporarily suspend publication of t h Hyder Weekly Herald at the close of the present month. The last is sue of the present pericd of publication will appear on De- cember 29.
 It is perhaps needless to say that this decision is deeply re- gretted but there appears no alternative in view of condit- ions as they exist at present. Lacking strength and energy to carry on virtually alone, as we have done during the great CT part of the past four years, we have no choice but to take a rest if We hope to escape for a time a longer rest in the realms of the blest.
 How long the proposed sus- pension will endure cannot be foretold under the circumstan- ces and will depend upon fu- ture developments.
 AS the suspension will be for an indeterminate period, those of our subscribers who are paid beyond the close of the year will be fully reimbursed in the amount of their unex- pired subscriptions as soon as the necessary check-up can be completed. Those who owe us are requested to kindly settle their accounts by the close of the year. Others holding claims against the Herald are requested to present them as soon as convenient.
 During the interval before closing the job printing depart ment will be continued in oper- ation for the convenience of such customers as may desire to replenish their stationery supplies. It will be appreciated, however, if orders are handed in as soon as possible, as no work will be undertaken af- ter the close of December.

Retirement Act
Unconstitutional
Carolina.

WASHINGTON, Oct. &c. (UP)
Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat
of District of Columbia Supreme
Court ruled Wednesday that the
railroad retirement act was I'M
constitutional.
The decision affects 100000
employees.
Wheat granted an injunction to
134 railroads, restraining the gov
eminent from enforcing the law.
Hammond E. Chaffetz, special as
sistart to the attorney general, is
expected to appeal the case for
the government.
A retirement and pension sys-
tenn for railroad employees is set
up under the cat. Retirement is
made compulsory at 65. Funds
for the pensions would be made
up by employees contributing two
per cent of their salaries with the
railroads contributing twice that
much.
If the law had been upheld. the
railroads would have been. forced
to contribute $6O,OO0,O0O over the
next five years and larger amounts
thereafter.
