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

to enlist only such hoys as gave prom

well for any community that wants to

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.
