matte fever in young life. That
is what l meant by saying above
that the disease is important
everywhere; child in Massa-
chusetts may have rheumatic
fever which affects the heart.
Later on the family migration
or marriage may bring that
child. now an adult, to the
Middle West. And there valvu-
lar heart trouble manifests it
self, so the effects of the disease
are found everywhere.
DIFFERENT FEVER FORMS
There are different forms Of
this fever and it may settle on
the heart alone and not in the
joints.
If it were SIMPLY an acute
fever which inflamed the joints
temporarily, it would not be
very serious. These acute joint
swellings can be controlled by
the use of the salicylate medi-
cines-which include aspirin.
But il has been determined
beyond any per adventure of a
doubt. that if the patient is to
be saved from future heart
trouble. a long period of rest
should follow every case of acute
rheumatic fever. This it is not
always easy to persuade the pa
tent to accept. After a few.
weeks in bed he feels quite well
and can see no reason for fur
Their. convalescence. But at all
costs. the family and the physi-
clan must persuade him that
months rather than weeks
should elapse before he resumes
full activity.
We have several good tests
of full recovery Ii the pulse

means longer rest. The blood
sedimentation test is a good
guide. With impatient patients
we can often persuade them tn

May memory dwell in peace today, Join flesh and spirit by the way; All that we are all that we own ... Comes from the seed her trust has sown. We're here to build; we're here to drink The cup of blessing ct loves brink; The precious moments when we wept, Were mellowed by the faith she kept. glimpse of mother is to ask 4 better way to do our task ... To love, and to Dc loved again, And cheer the hearts of other men. To sec her face amid nfes tears When courage fails at sorrows fears; All this and more we hope to gain ... The sun must shine and hide the rain, To walk with her again, alone, Not moving like 6 rolling stone But holding hands across the years, AnA praying still as heaven hears.

For National Quartet Contest week. -barbershop blend--will en- shrine many hearts on the Fair grounds.
 The Big Quartet Contest Week starts July 22. It is sponsored by the national society for the Pres ervatlon and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, and visitors to the Fair will sit in on the elimination finals after a countrywide tournament.
 Chairman George Req, President of the Curb Exchange who has ac- cepted chairmanship of the national contest, announced that the first four days of the convention will be devoted to elimination of sectional champions of America, while the final Friday evening will see the best eight quartets sprouted in this country.
 The tonsil-fest will be held in front of the Municipal Building on the Fair grounds, and the judges will include Al Smith, Robert Moses, Mayor La Guardia, Harvey b' NlDSOIl, hIlu OtIlCI IOCtu HlSlu- bers Of the SPEBSQSA. Handsome and valuable prizes will be awarded to winners in preliminary contests as well as the national champions.
 The committee promises roman- tic setting worthy of Sweet Adeline Divine, the Flower of My Heart. On barbership stage, savings mugs, Police Gazette and all, the contest ants must appear in appropriate costumes. Although there is no rule against any contestants busting right out and crying out of the full ness of his heart, 1t is not recom- mended. Each quartet will be per mitted to sing two numbers. The present national champion, incid- entally, are Bartlesville Barflies of Oklahoma.
 A hearty response Is expected from New York City, which has always taken It's barber shop harmony ser iously. For the past five years, Park Commissioner Moses has been hold ing contest in the metropolitan area with the finals taking place on the Mall in Central Park. Enthusiasm from other parts of the country has already been indicated by their &C., tivity in local quartet contests.
