Schick test L 6 years to determine


If revaccination is necessary.
Scarlet Fever-3 to 4 years.
Typhoid Fever-S to II years.
This is a right up-to-date list
published in 1871 by DR.. John A.
Kolmer, Professor of Medicine at
Temple University, Philadelphia.
In short, it is conservative, au-
thoritative and squares with the
latest knowledge.
In the article yesterday, | said
that the greatest danger of in
fancy and childhood was the Sc
ries Of contagious each individual
must pass through. This danger
is greatly increased as soon as
the child enters school because
there so many new human con-
facts are made, carriers of germs
from other households. Against
many Of these, some OF the worst,
medical science can furnishs i'm
munity by vaccination. II is the
greatest boon medical science has
10 ofer humanity.
Let us review the list.
whooping Cough Most Dangerous
Whooping cough is today the
greatest baby-killer on earth. This
honor used to be reserved for
diphtheria, but since the univer-
sal vaccination against diphtheria
in children of preschool and school
age began about 20 years ago.
diphtheria is a rare disease.
Scarlet fever has become so
mild, for some reason nobody IN
derstands, that the death rate in
the whole population is today l
to 100 Of what it was 80 years ago.
This is not due to wide VAGINA
ton against scarlet fever, but
seems to be a natural example of
ebb and flow. Scarlet fever may
be a disappearing disease, or it
may be due for an increase in viru-
lence.
At any rate, that leaves whoop-
ing cough and measles as the
chief killers and whooping cough
is far more dangerous disease
than measles. For measles there is
no known method of vaccination
or prevention, so perhaps the best
thing is to let the growing child
have an attack and get it over
with.
Whooping cough does damage
by its complications-pneumonia
and the after-effects on the CEN
trail nervous system, leading to
speech disorders, tardy and inco-
ordinsted walking and mental tar
diness.
Prevention Of whooping cough
is possible with the Sauer vac
cine. 1t must be given early in
life because whooping cough is a
disease Of infancy. No bad results
have been reported from its use.
The vaccine is given in three
doses hypodermically at inter-
walls of one to three weeks. The
immunity lasts five to eight years,
which covers the period of great
est susceptibility. There are about
10 to Is per cent failures, but the
disease is so fraught with danger
that these should be risked.

Food Subject
 Of importance

The Divison of Maternal and Child Health of the Territorial Department of Health has pub- iiahed a pamphlet, Food Facts in the interest of better nutrlt' ioa. For many families food talk es more of the income than any other item of family living. For every family, food expenditures claim 8 place of prominence in the budget. To have as good a daet as circumstances permit may well be the goal of every family. For families with growing chli- dren, & well-rcunded diet is es- pecially important because of the relation of feod to growth, de velopment, and general well-be- ing.
 Families with a limited a. ma mt of money to spend on food will find the suggested moderate cost diet a useful guide to food selection Families with extreme ly meager resources will find the minimum cost diet helpful in sol wing their difficult problem. Fam lilies with an income sufficient to- meet all needs comfortably have more choice in spending. For ;S.lem, the bulletin suggests a liberal diet or a moderate cost adequate diet Either offers max imum returas in nutrition and health and in pleasing variety of food from day to day.
 A plan has been worked out with Che cooperation of MT. Am by Frederick, Boy Scout Execu- tive for Alaska, whereby the Scouts will distribute the pamph- let in those towns throughout Che Territory that have Scout troops The local Boy Scouts will distribute the pamphlets in Ko- diak.
 MT. Claude Hirst, Superin- tendant of the Office of Indian Affairs, and MT. James Ryan, Territorial Commissioner of Ed uoation, are aiding in the distrib- ution of Food Facts" in other communities. We suggest that you have this pamphlet and use it as a guide to eating and buy ing. Additional copies of " Food Facts" may be obtained from the Public Health Nurse or by writing to Territorial Depart ment of Health, Juneau, Alaska.
