seasonal disease?
We have diseases that are always
more prevalent at certain seasons; we
might very well term them seasonal
diseases. The season in which he have
more catarrhal troubles, sore throat,
pneumonia, Influenza, measles, scarlet
fever, smallpox and other such diseases
that come frotn chose contact and in
door life, is now with us. When peo
ple are congested in closed rooms we
may expect contagion to spread, es
pecially among the children at school.
Usually the "bad colds’’ and sore
throats begin the list. Bronchial pneu
monia comes along as a sequel, and
with older people the lobar pneumonia.
Artificially heated and poorly venti
lated rooms have much to do with this.
Change from outdoor to indoor life
also brings its share of readjustment
of the individual. Most of the heating
systems are poor, giving too much heat
near the radiator or stove and too
little tn other parts of the room. In
consequence, soma children in school,
for instance, are hot and perspiring,
while others have cold feet. Much
could be done to remedy these condi
tions if they were scientifically looked
Into and proper adjustments marie.
Above all times of the year the one
that should have our attention is the
fall and winter months. Our bodies
should be kept in good condition; we,
should religiously obey every healthy
law and do our utmost to keep in the
best of physical shape. We should pro
tect ourselves against every disease for
which science offers a remedy, such
as smallpox, typhoid, diphtheria, scar
let fever, iiossibly whooping cough and
others where protection is offered
even in the least measure.
A kiss in time is fine.
In the cup of love are many spoons.
Envy is the acknowledgement of
the gpod fortune of others.

Delay Can Cause
Much Damage
The world often learns that much
energy has been expended on a cer
tain thing to no advantage or profit
because the work has been done frouj
the wrong angle or the approach has
been wrong. This thought was prompt
ed because of the many physical de
sects found In school children. Much
time has been wasted and much harm
has already been done the child by
delay. The truth is that the inspec
tion should be made early and the de
sects corrected early, not necessarily
an operation, but quite often a change
of diet or habit would have prevented
the trouble entirely or corrected It i!
it had not progressed too far. Early
examination, in fact, pre-natal work is
most Important, and is far more so
than many realize.
Season For Smallpox
Is Now Upon Us
The season for smallpox is at hand;
the cold weather shuts us up in un
ventilated rooms and we are In closer
contact with our fellow man, conse
quently the winter time sees certain
diseases prevailing more generally
than at other seasons. Smallpox Is
one of the diseases that we see in
creasing. There is a certain remedy
against this disease —vaccination. The
baby should be vaccinated before it
walks; it should be vaccinated at
seven or eight years of age and after
that when exposed to the disease. The
new method of applying the virus does
not tend to produce large scars and
no bad arms unless the patient infects
the sore. It requires no dressing, and
above all things avoid the “vaccination
shield.’’
Different Ailments
Respond To Very
Different Methods
The inhalation of chlorine gas as
a preventive of colds is being written
and talked about. It is now experi
mental and, in some cases, no doubt,
may do good. Vaccination for the pre
vention of colds has been tried with
varying success. The failure of the
various proposed remedies for catarrh
al conditions is accounted for because
of the many different invading organ
isms. They may be akin and, no
doubt, are, but they differ enough not
to be killed by the same method of
procedure, and many individuals do not
respond alike to the same remedy. All
these and more reasons account for
the failures that we have.

12 feet in 15 years.
A bee must travel 40,000 miles to
get a pound of honey.

Men and Instinctt
Writers of the last century regarded
Instinct as almost non-existent in man,
whereas reason was denied to animals.
Later scientists hold differently, among
them having been Prof. William
James, who maintained that man has
as many instincts as animals. He fur
ther maintained that instinct played a
leading part in the determination of
all human conduct. McDougal, the
eminent philosopher, goes still fur
ther and says thtat man’s organisms
would become incapable of activity of
any kind if Instinctive dispositions
with their powerful impulses, were
taken away.
Chivalry
It was this which, without con
founding ranks, had produced a noble
equality, and handed It down
through all the gradations of social
life. It was this opinion which miti
gated kings into companions, and
raised private men to the fellows with
kings. Without force, or opposition,
it subdued the fiercest of pride and
power; it obliged sovereigns to sub
mit to the soft collar of social esteem,
compelled stern authority to submit
to elegance, and gave a dominating
vanquisher of laws to be subdued by
manners. —Edmund Burke.

Diphtheria Vaccinations.
There is no excuse for another
death or, in fact, case of diphtheria.
If such a case or death occurs, it can
be charged as neglect or indifference.
With the toxin - antitoxin perfected,
there is no reasonable excuse for
using it on every child six months old
or over. Has your baby been project
ed? and safeguarded? How about
your grandchildren? The necessary
vaccine can be had of the State Board
of Health for 45 cents.
There is no investment that pays
like sanitation. Are your home and
surroundings sanitary?
