Wednesday, March 20, 1885


For more than twenty years, ever since the time
when 1t became evident that to meet competition
from other producing sections certain matters would
have TO be adjusted, the Valley has been clamoring
for a reduction in freight ratees.
Arguments pro and con have been advanced suf-
fcient to fill several large sized volumes. The air
has been made blue with the smoke Of vituperation,
orators have hurled hurricanes OF abuse, threats
have been made-but when the din Of battle was
hushed, the railroad rates remained the same and
Valley growers continued TO pay through the nose to
set their produce on the markets Of the country.
Something like two years ago The Brownsville Herald
addressed an open letter to officials OF the Missouri
Pacific and Southern Pacific Railroads. inviting them
TO come to the Valley, get their feet under the table
with Valley interests, and to calmly discuss the
economic situation Of the Valley as affected by the
rates We we're paying. Nothing came Of the open
letter and things once more continued as IN the past.
Then last fall q revision Of rates put the Valley
on a far worse spot than that OF the Robstown diff
%ferential. Classifications were changed, rates were
raised, and the Valley began TO really suffer from
high rates which gave q still more decided advantage
10 competing sections. Right then the railroads be-
gan to realize that an adjustment Of rates was not
only in order. but that such m adjustment down
ward must be made II the valley we're to continue TO
produce, If the rails themselves we're TO continue to
get the good business they had enjoyed in previous
years from this section.
30 II came about that a conference between Valley
growers and shippers and the executive heads OF the
two railroads was arranged. The conference has been
held. and the result is most satisfactory to all con-
cerned. The roads have promised a downward revi-
sion in rates. a revision which they themselves will
vigorously push before the Interstate Commerce COM
mission. The Valley takes the words Of these high
railroad officials at face value, thankfully believing
that ct last the rails have seen the light, That they
are convinced that II is to our mutual interest to cut
rates.
A real victory for everybody has been won. VAL
ley growers win, Valley shippers win, the railroads
win, We all win. And not the least satisfactory part
Of the whole thing should be relief from the tension
OF past days. a resumption Of the friendly feeling
which should exist between the Valley and these two
railroads whose interests are so bound up with the
interests of the Valley.

Valley citrus growers may just as well realize right
now that the situation BIDS fair to become serious.
They have been fairly lax during the past two sea-
sons in following the rulings Of the department de-
signed TO check further infestation. As a result,
larvae are being found in numerous Valley orchards
and now We have the fly reported from Brooks

Watch Your Children
For Scarlet Fever
ny DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN
Editor. Journal OF the American Medical Association
and Of Hygeia. the Health Magazine

This is the season OF year when scarlet fever is
especially prevalent. Occasionally there are out
breaks in schools.
In most Of our large cities. many cases are being
reported daily.
Scarlet fever ia. OF course, catching. It spreads
from one child to another. Time between exposure
Of the child 10 the disease and development Of the
rash is short.
Usually the eruption occurs on the skin from two
to four days after the child has been In association
with another who has had scarlet fever. II seven
days pass, after exposure, without appearance OF
the eruption, II is likely the child will not develop the
disease.
One attack OF scarlet fever usually protects. After
a child has once had the disease, II Ia not likely
to develop another attack. However. the severe
sore throat and other serious symptoms associated
with the disease are in themselves sufficiently serious
TO make it unwise to expose a child in any way to
the germs.
The germs that cause scarlet fever also are capa-
BILE Of injecting ears, nose and throat. As with other
diseases, the child who has recovered from scarlet
fever may carry the germs about and infect or@&s.
The time when most people are insected is at
height Of the disease, when discharges from nose
and throat OF the diseased child are fun Of the in
fecting germs. While these discharges continue to
now. the child may infect others.
Scarlet fever usually begins like other infectious
diseases. with high fever. vomiting and general feel
ing OF sickness. At the end Of the first a hours,
q bright scarlet eruption appears on the skin. In
mild cases this may come and 20 almost In a
day. In more severe cases it may last longer.
Another characteristic OF scarlet fever Ia the man
ner in which the skin peels as the condition i'm
proves. II the skin II well cared for during scarlet
fever. the peeling takes place In small scales. In
care Of the skin, II should be hathed daily and COW
cred with oil.
There are many conditions In which eruptions like
those OF scarlet fever appear, 30 that the doctor has
to decide II the condition Is scarlet fever or some
thing else. RaShes from sensitivity TO certain drugs
and from s~ensitivity to certain foods are frequently
mistaken for scarlet fever.
However. In those conditions. the sore throat. the
peculiar strawberry-like appearance OF the tongue,
and the high fever are absent.
II properly cared for. children with scarlet fever
usually get we'll When improperly cared for. serious
complications result. affecting Sinuses. nose. throat
and ears. Also. the kidneys may be disturbed.
To overcome these possibilities. the child with scar
let fever nov Ia kept In bed for at least four weeks
and not allowed up for any purpose. 1t must be
kept comfortably warm.
During the early part OF the disease the diet is
light. but as the child begins to improvs. II must be
given foods which will help IL to build good blood.

anticipate further demands ner-
vously.
This item may be considered a.
a partial rebuttal OF the report that
Johnson Is going on the air IN
answer 10 the Long-Coughlin team
under the auspices Of a commercial
advertising sponsor. The general Is
looking for free time and the
b~roadcasting systems apparently are
willing provided they are not called
upon to make the donation them
selves.
Armistice-Men who gauge poll
teal trend for the White House
would be Just as well pleased II
johnson, Long and Coughlin would
cult their debate entirely. Not that
they expect such a happy develop
ment.
One OF the New Deal analysts
reports a conviction that the recent
swing away from President RooSe-
welt Is largely due 70 the persistent
preachment OF gloom and despair
which has gone out on the ether
waves. The Kingfish attacks Pres
ident Roosevelt personally as a
failure and offers his oft-modiiied
share-the-wealth plan as a Substi-
tute. Father Coughlin fears That
the Administrators monetary pol
icy can lead only to wrack and
ruin and urges initiation. General
Johnson contributes his mite by
predicting hell on wheels II the
Long Coughlin forces ever get con-
troll.

ing Senator Long or Father Coueh--
