fever is a community health prob

1t now is increasingly apparent
that rheumatic fever Is widespread
among undernourishcd children,
crowded together in unhoalthful
environment, and that provision
for their care under these cifcum-
stances is altogether inadequate.
have before ne the report Of
a sanitarium near Boston. which
has been made available for tho
care Of children with rheumatic
fever. The sanitarium mas had
several years experience and is
conclusions are worth noting. The
children are kept outdoors. cx-
posed to plenty Of air and sun
shine and even in the unflvorable
environment of Boston they re-
spond well. Most Of them have
had one attack of rheumatic fever
and the idea is to give 5hem o n
tlnuouS rest so as to cut down the
chances Of heart damage and to
harden them by open air and sun
shine so as to prevent Il recurrence
of infections, especially the re-
currencc of an attack of rhcuma-
tlsm.
England. before the war. took
the lead IN accepting community
responsibility for the care Of
rheumatic fever. In London. it
was recognized some years AGO
that the problem was too Urgent
and too extensive to be dealt with
entirely by private or charitable
organizations. The Ministry of
Health, therefore, took active
steps in the matter. the result
being the provision of over LOCO
beds for children in the London
area.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
f. r. M.:-"What causes the
network of small red veins to ap-
pear on the sides Of the nose? Is
there any remedy for them?'
Answer-Dr. VIM. Osler wrote
extensively on this subject. 1t was
a mystery to him why the veins
appear and it still remains a mvs-
terry. They apparently do not in
dlcate any organic disease. Their
removal is merely a matter of re-
lief to the aesthetic sense. The
A-ray man and plastic surgeon
can relieve them cutie easily.

The New School Year

The American people are now
starting one more year of the
great enterprise Of educating their
children. The glorious achieve
ments of the nation will be fruit
less. unless the young people are
we'll trained for work and citizen
ship.
The main motive is perhaps the
personal ambition of every family
to see its children do well. The
parents want the children to have
better advantages than the old
folks had. Young people need
fair degree of education even to
earn a living. If they want to
climb, they need long courses in
general intelligence and usually
special training. So money is
poured out for those schools as no
country ever spent it before.
The schoolhouses are the pride of
every city. Parental eyes follow
the student from the first days
when he toddles along on two tiny
feet, until the day he gets his final
diploma.
The homes have something more
to do than dress up the kids in the
best clothes they can AFFORD, and
deliver them to the schoolhouse.
Parents have a job of encourage
ment and backing. Young people |
often get discouraged, and say the
lessons are to hard. The lessons
are carefully arranged to be of
such difficulty as the average child
can master. If pupils fail, it usual
ly indicates either that they are
unwilling to work, or that they
lack the ability of the average |
child. No boy or girl should want
to make either of those admissions.
Children sometimes get the idea
that they are not fairly treated in
school. 1t may be desirable in such
a case to visit the school and see
what the trouble is, and consult
the teacher as to how the diffcul-
ty can be corrected. In most cases
the children who get into difficulty
provoked such trouble by their own
failures or misconduct. Parents
and townspeople should enter the
new school year with enthusiasm,
and give all possible backing to
teachers and school authorities.

Trench Warfare Again7

The World War was a long
agony of trench warfare. A few
months after the fighting began
the opposing armies settled down
in long lines OF bitches dug all the
way from the English channel to
Switzerland. Life in those bitches
was hell on earth.
Crouched behind those frail ram
parts, wet by the rains from the
skies, shivering in the cold of win
ter, forced to see death in its most
dreadful forms, the soldiers saw
and felt life under the most re-
pulsive conditions.
The German Nazis. with their
tanks and planes and scientific
warfare, expected to abolish such
Sighting. and drive their foes out
Of such trenches. Reports from
the Russian war indicate that they
may have to dig in for the winter
from the Baltic to the Black seas,
and perhaps undergo those same
sufferings. Perhaps some Of those
Nazis wish their country had never
invaded its neighbors.

Save Your Newspapers

A drive is to start soon to in
crease collections of waste paper.
1t is the raw material for paper
board boxes, in which many de-
fense products are transported.
Our people have a way of destroy
ing vast quantities of this mate
rial. Countless tons of old news
papers are thrown out on dumps
or burned as having no value.
One reason why so many old
newspapers have been thrown
away in the past is that people
were not interested in the small
price paid for this material. 1t
may cost more in ordinary times
to collect old newspapers than
they are worth, but the old timers
would have said that throwing
away all this paper stock repre-
sented a form of national waste
which should be avoided. Anyway,
more of this stuff is needed now
for paper board for defense trans
portation.

trary to expectations, the Swedish
star will be seen as Ivy Peterson,

Peace Systems


ALI thoughtful people are asking
what can be done after the present
war is over to keep new wars from
breaking out. Will the human
race ever awake to the folly and
the stupidity of settling its dis
putes in any such savage manner?
Will they ever learn that all
countries lose by a war?
In the minds of many, the only
solution for such a problem is
some kind of world organization to
suppress wars, in somewhat the
same way that police forces put
down crime. The League of Ma
tons was formed for that purpose.
Many people say it would have
produced results if the United
States had Joined it, and they want
some improved League which the
Dfftted States will join, and which
will have better success.
Systems for preserving peace
will not probably get very far un-
less men get over the desire to
fight. According to the prevailing
American view, the main problem
is to persuade the German people
that it does not pay to start wars.
The German nation has fought a
number Of wars in the past by
which it enlarged its territory. 1t
lost the World War, but it still be-
lieves its armies were never beat
en-. 1t conceived the idea this time
that by better preparation and new
ideas in war, it could avoid any
such defeat, and make gains by
war.
The nations now fighting Germ
any are not faultless. They might
perhaps have averted the present
war, if they had given Germany
a fair chance to live and prosper.
The prevailing view in this coun-
try would say that the main cause
of these wars has been the convic-
tion of the German people that a
nation can advance its property by
fighting war from time to time.
Until that idea is driven out of the
heads of all warlike peoples, wars
are likely to occur, in spite of all
peace systems that may be devised.
