EAST LYNN Monday and Tuesday Protect Patient and Prevent Con tagion, Says the (ieorgia State Hoard of Health. Atlanta, Ga.—The danger in mumps, or what is known to medical science as epidemic parotitis, is not much in the disease itself as in tile complications which are liable to attend it. For this reason it is im portant that the patient he carefully pi elected against possible complica tions, and also that precautions he taken against spreading the contag ion. says the Georgia State Hoard of Health. The cause of mumps has never been delinitely determined, lake the ma jority oi the diseases of childhood, ii is among the mysteries of medi cine. But it is a well established fact that the disease is contagious and can he transmitted from one person to another. While infants and adults are rare ly attacked by mumps, they may have it. aud care should he taken to avoid the contagion. The greatest period of of liability to the disease is from four to fifteen years of age. Mumps is one of the oldest of known diseases. it was accurately dferibed by Hippocrates, the an- c»nt Greek physician who noted the suppuration of the parotid gland, and the secondary inflammation of the sexual organs was even known to him. It does not appear to he limited by climate, though the colder season in the temperate zone is more favor able to it. anu it is noted that it Is more frequent in prolonged cold and wet weather. How the Contagion Is Spread. It has been demonstrated that tho •outagion may lie carried in various ways. A person may contract mumps by being directly exposed to one hav ing the disease-, indirectly by coming (intact with a third person who has been exposed to it. o: by recetv- uing tile infection troin some article that has been used or handled by the patient having the disease. Tile dang j er of contagion is not s" great as m the eruptive feveis. such as small pox. scarlet lever, measles and the like, nor is it inmnaiily accompanied! by such serious or dangerous ecmpli- . callous. Nevertheless there o< t ur occasion- | ally ser.ous and sometimes very pain ful complications sicli as sloughing j of the parotid glands, painful swell- i ing of the sexual glands followed of- j leu by an atrophy or shriveling of I these organs. Besides these eomplt- I cations mumps has been known to induce convulsions, meningitis. in- ; flam motion of the joints and pancreas, deafness, facial paralysis, bright s j disease and in very occasional cases, | loss of memory. Because of those possible compli cations it is well to avoid exposure j to the disease as far as possible. Children with mumps should not only , he taken from school, hut should he isolated, and the same precautions | should be taken as in the case of oth-1 er contagious diseases. While the thorough disinfection of soiled bed and body clothing, including handker chiefs and cloths used for the collec tion of discharges from the nose and mouth, is regarded as important in preventing the spread of the contag ion. fumigation of the room following recovery of the patient is noi regard ed as essential. The Symptoms of Mumps. In an attack o! mumps loss of ac tivity is noted, accompanied by pal lor and lassitude; the child may be come irritable and complain of ear ache which will he followed by the swelling of one side of the face, (in a bilateral attack both sides become swollen). Fever may develop, mildly at llrst, and going sometimes as high as HM. Even higher temperatures have been noted. The swelling be comes conspicuous from the ear down; the skin, pale, glistening, and tense; the tongue coated. Chew ing becomes a painful process; dif ficulty in caring tor the mouth may- cause had smelling breath. Nausea ami vomiting are often noted. The time which elapses between exposure ami development of the disease probably averages a little more than two weeks. Contagion is possible during tile entire course oi the attack and also several days af ter the swelling of the parotid glands has disappeared. The patient should he Isolated, therefore, for three weeks after the beginning of the symptoms or for ten days alter the swelling has subsided. There are two parotid glands, one on either side of the face, just In front of and extending slightly below the ear. Both of these glands are usually Involved, the patient having what is sometimes called "double mumps or mumps on both sides. The HORN CLUB PROGRESS EGO 1913 PROISESJBIEST RESULTS By Andrew M.

Care has also been taken to enlist only such hoys as gave prom ise of carrying their work through to the end. From reports received the boys have entered into the contests with great enthusiasm, they have planted under favorable conditions, in seed beds that have been well pre pared. and they have follow'd instruc tions with fidelity. In the girls' canning club work as many as fitleen counties that were urging that an organizer he sent, had time will admit every community in the state will eventually he given at tention in their turn It would bo well for any community that wants to join (he movement for interesting the hoys and girls in improved agricul ture, to make the wish known as soon as possible even though there is no hope of soon getting an organizer for work. Nothing is exciting the interest and inspiring the country youth so much as the com and canning club contests. SOILS OF BENHILL COUNTY W. A. Worsham, Professor Agricultu ral Chemistry. The Rureau of Soils of the United States Department of agriculture and tlie Georgia State College of Agricul ture have completed a co-operative soil survey of Ben Hill county and the college has completed a chemical an alysis of the type of soils. While the bureau of soils of the government Is authorized only to make physical an alysis and thereby determine the soil type, tho college believes it necessary to go further, mako an exhaustive study of the plant food content of th ■ various types, by making chemical analysis and by conducting crop ex periments. Ben Hill county is tne first one to be completed so far as the soil sur vey and chemical analysis is con- | corned, and the data which as 1 been obtained will be issued in bulle tin form from the college. The in- j formation contained therein together ] with the results of field tests which are being conducted should afford the farmer a basis on which he should buy his fertilizer and what crops and what kind of cultivation will bring from the soil the largest returns and at the same time conserve and add to permanent fertility. The fertility of southern soils is more difficult to maintain than soils of the states further north. First, be cause of our long summers, during which time the plant food is more rap idly made available; second, because of the short winters during which time under prevailing .methods of cultiva tion, our' soils are left bare. Under these conditions the organic matter is lost by oxidation and the plant food is depleted by leaching. Hence the great importance of understanding the need and condition of soils through the as sistance of the soil survey and anal ysis. While the test plats have been con ducted only for one year sonto valu able information has been obtained | relative to the need of lime in the | soils. After a few years of tests with | a variety of crops on the types of soils | found valuable information w ill be forthcoming with reference to the i kinds of crops and what rotation to | follow. to build up the soil fertility.
