Childish Ills

OF Warning
Learn to Recognize
Symptoms in Time
To Call Doctor
Ry Irtfire Lee Street,

D.y
1t has been said that "a little
knowledge is q dangerous thing"
and this is true unless we are frank
to admit to ourselves how little we
know, and take advantage only OF
the knowledge We do possess with
out attempting to 90 beyond our
limits.
In her sincere efforts to keep her
children we'll, sometimes the con-
scientious mother will allow her
Imagination to run riot. She tor
ments herself with worry and keeps
her children in bed needlessly. From
small bits of information that she
has heard or read she weaves a
wild pattern of diseases, and she
may attempt to diagnose and treat
her children without medical advice.
When little child has a cold, a
tummy ache or any other simple
ailment that can be plainly traced
to direct cause, the capable
mother can take excellent care of
him with good results But even
when child is only mildly sick he
should be carefully watched for pro-
longed, increased or changed symp-
toms. II they occur, doctor should
be called without delay.
In learning to care for our chill
dren it is wise for us TO acquaint
ourselves with the true symptoms
of the most serious. common chill
| dren's diseases. Many a little child
would be spared a serious illness if
proper treatment was started at
once. Instead of being frightened to
read Of dread diseases, the parents
should acquaint themselves with
their symptoms. Following are some
OF the symptoms of serious diseases
which should be known to every
| parent.
Diphtheria: First symptoms are
sore throat and mouth. Sometimes
a bloody nasal discharge. The laryny
is covered with a white membrane
Moderate fever, prostration.
Poliomyelitis dnfantile paralysis
There are three stages of symptoms
not all Of which appear. First stage

days. fever. stiffness. headache

neck and spread over entire body
except face and scalp. Rash looks
like tiny red points on dark pink

Appendicitis: Usually general ab-
dominal pain. later localized over
/ the appendix. Nausea, vomiting
constipation. tenderness to touch
over appendix and occasionally di-
arrhea. Be suspicious OF appendi-
citis if an abdominal pain lasts over
six hours.
This list is not written to frighten
you. but only to help by telling
you a few facts for your protec-
ton if one of your children develops
any one of these diseases. We all
fervently hope they never win!
The modern mother is an en-
lightened. lnquisitive woman where
her children are concerned. The re-
suits of research and study, the i'm
proved methods of child care and
feeding are hers to command, and
she should use them.

There was a kind of hope in me that Rill
wouldn't be at home - just Mary Lee there
- alone Rill would be glad for Mary Lees
sake that was alive, but could fancy her
hard little eyes mocking this comeback of
mine. Sentimental, she would think. Right
out of the old melodrama book. The Sailors
Return! That was Rill. Laugh at life Laugh
at death :.
But what if Mary Lee wasn't there, l
thought When you're at sea you get to
wondering. At the best of times you get to
wondering. You hurry your steps when you re
coming back to the girl you love. Suppose
anything has happened? Suppose when you
come back she isn't there any more?
And this time! This time I'd fought through
several hells to get to come back. Even the
newspapers thought was dead, and had
right to be dead. Only the thought OF
Mary Lee had kept me alive. Because all that
time - as the ship went down and men were
screaming in their last fear; during the long
days when my tongue hung out and the raft
drifted endessly, I'd thought of only one
thing OF Mary Lees soft arms. And the soft
sound of her crying for the lover she'd lost.
And me drying her tears.

who opened the door gave little cry as if

to its perch with one foot and looked at me,

death had got there ahead of me. AS if it

i CALLED Mary Lees name but there was no

right there, something shakes you - until
you feel everything in you breaking up
That's how it was with me. You get like that

eternity, with men dying around you;
and if for time of tortured agony you
exist under the tropic glare, with no food
to nourish you and only salt water to tempt
your swollen lips, and no hope in you -
except Mary Lee.
When you fight through all that, and she
isn't at home - right there at home waiting
when you come back - it's worse than death.
