PARENTS -

Children
BY Olive Roberts Barton

Every time I read O story that
stops In Its tracks 10 give details
of an old-time smallpox epidemic,
I feel like rounding up the entire
flock and betaking them and my.
self OF for q make-sure VAGINA
ton. Smallpox Is something we
know nothing about these days, but
which even the kings OF domains
died OF not long ago,
Something must have wiped II
out. II you have ever studied logic,
that something" must exist, Since
smallpox disappeared simultaneous
ly with vaccination and rGappears
IN epidemic form without II, not
taking into account scientific proof,
II must be vaccination that has ale
lowed civilization 10 10 It's way
without terror Of or attack from the
disease.
Each man IL entitled TO his
opinion about the pros and cons OF
immunization. ! am not trying 10
convince anyone that he Is either
right or wrong, but this controversy
comes up every summer, before
school time, and the battle Is on.
Law Permits No Choice
However, II seems TO be mat
ter of health boards and state laws,
which allow no quarter for opinion
and shave uS IN spit OF ourselves,
II seems, or, 10 put II differently,
insist on the "good-of-the. whole"
as opposed, I'm some cases) TO the
comfort OF the individual.
so vaccination II Is. And mothers
might like TO know few things
about II,
First -- unless your community
provides flrst'Class regional doctors
and flrst grade serum and you can
depend on both, take your child TO
your own doctor to have him vac
clnated before he enters school. In
time 10 get his arm well, too,
Second-kcep on the gauze dress
Ing the doctor afiixes, until the
scab drops of. II II needs further
attention and more dressing, let the
doctor 90 ~,
Avoid Injecting Cuts
Third-givo the child sponge
baths, not tub baths, during the
period Of discharge. Any other open
scratch or cut may pick up serum
from the wound and become an
other embryo vaccination,
Fourth-Don't let the child fool
with the mark or scratch II, for
the same reason,
Here and there, each year, there
arc q few sporadic cases where
things go wrong" This Is the way
with any general policy TO further
general welfare, and the most Is
made OF II. But with renewed eff
fort. as time advances, TO increase
safety, these cases become rarer,
So I should not worry, especially
since 1t has TO be done anyway. As
always, with the inevitable, 1t pays
to be as philosophic as possible,
and do our part by using discretion
and care.

Plight Of Own Making

The woman who wrote the let
ter was not fair to herself. There
fore, how could she expect her fam
lily TO be fair to her? They took
her at her own valuation. She
majored in housekeeping instead OF
home-making-and they are letting
her graduate in the course she
chose.
Certainly she deserves credit for
the sacrifices she has made. the
work she has done. She would be
called o good wife and mother. She
has toiled--but she failed her fam
lily emotionally and what Is even
more bitter, she failed herself. She
cheated her woman's heart OF the
friendship of her husband and
children. She didn't demand her
rights. She should have realized
that either her work or her husband
had TO 90, II she didn't manage
wisely. She should have bought Q

OBSERVATIONS ON sINUsITIs
In the Graduate Fortnight OF the
New York Academy OF Medicine last
autumn DR.. Raphael Schillinger
made some observations on sinusltis
which should interest the great
number Of persons who have chronic
sinusitis.
II the maxillary sinus, otherwise
known as the aHtrun1 cavity or
Cavern In the upper Jaw bone, were
enlarged In ell dimensions by 100 II
would be q ten foot room. The OPEN
ing between the antrum and the
nasal passage would be an eight
inch ventilator near the ceiling.
The ciliated epitheliuni which lines
the antrun or sinus would be o
velvet wall covering having a pile
one-fortieth Of an inch In thickness.
Each square yard Of velvet wall
could lift weight Of one and one
half pounds Of little less than four
inches per minute: It would take
one-half hour 10 propel O mass
from the floor to the ostium or
ventilator.
It Is through this ostium that the
sinus Is ventilated and drained.
Any excess Of normal mucus secret
ed by the mucous membrane lin.
Ing the sinus must be propelled out
into the nasal passage by the action
OF the ciliated epithellum.
Now eyelaSheS are ella. Micro
scopically certain cells have hAirlike
projections capable OF vibratory or
lashing movement The surface
epithelium Of the mucous rneln-
brane lining the slnuses has such
ella, and so has the mucous men,
brane lining the upper part Of the
nasal passage into which the sinuses
drain.
The ciliary action Is retarded or
lost when the mucous membrane Is
changed In structure as the result
OF chronic Inflammation.
People are inclined TO regard sinus
trouble as disease of bone, be-
cause they have been led to think
Of the nasal siruses nS holes or
dead spaces In the bones OF the
skull. In fact sinusitiS Is disease OF
o mucous membrane continuous
with the mucous membrane Of the
nasal passage and throat; q men,

Or. Hchilllnger reminded US, when
the membrane Ia diseased II slows

and symptoms develop. Symptoms
are not always localized In the re-
gion Of tho sinus The symptoms
may seem 10 arise from quite differ
ent sources, In certain instances OF
so-called "silent sinusitis." Or.
Schillinger mentioned examples OF
this: the cough Of chronic nom
tuberculouS bronchopneumonia and
the cough OF winter bronchitis seen
so frequently In children as well as
In adults.
Treatment Of sinusitis should be
conservative, the ideal being preser.
