From The State
Health Officer

Generally regarded with much
amusement by everyone except the
victim, mumps is really no laugh
ing matter. Mumps is a contagious
disease in which there is a swell
ing of the salviary glands which
lie sjust in front of the ear. Usually
the illness is mild but serious COM
plications can occur. Most common
among children, mumps can strike
adults as well, and cases among
them are generally much more
severe.
Because of the danger of compli-
cations, all patients, particularly
adults, should stay in bed until fe-
yer and swelling have been absent
for at least four days. Prompt medi-
cal attention and good nursing care
should ward off any after effects.
Care should be taken to prevent
spread of the disease to other men,
bers Of the family by isolating the
patient and disinfecting all articles
used by him.

DOISE is part of the young career
i lists stock in trade. The pros
pective employer, and the producer
who is looking for a new star, look
for this quality as well as for spe-
cial talents. The young woman who
possesses both, usually gets the
nod.
Poise depends lot upon the ap-
pearance the young woman feels
she makes while she is being in
terviewed. Yet very few of these
career-seeking young people have
money to spend on clothes. They
are spending on voice lessons, and
on business courses. They cannot
make a bid for the high styling that
is done in ready-to-Wear.
