America s Food and Medicine May Go for v.
Naught if Russians Cannot Secure Clothing
r "If Russia’s children, and adults
as well, are to be saved from death
this winter from exposure—after
the charity of America has brought
them through the famine of last
winter, they must be supplied with
Clothing." This is a concensus of
opinion of the American Relief Ad
ministration staff in Russia, from
Colonel Haskell down to the in
spectors, according to their reports
to Herbert Hoover, head of the
A. R. A.
Prom every part of Russia where
the A. R. A. has been feeding
children and adults, and has been
Instituting sanitation and medical

literally millions of lives, the story
is the same —that the children lack
even the barest essentials of under

KEEP YOUR TEMPER
A MAN can acquire courage In an
hour. It Ims been often done on
battlefields.
He can learn self-possession in a
year.
But it takes many years of inten
sive training to teach him to keep his
temper.
Yet these years are well spent. Un
less you are certain that your temper
Is Irritation-proof, you can never be
sure of yourself.
At some time, on some occasion, you
may lose all control of yourself and do
something that you will regret for the
remainder of your life.
It is useful to teach boys boxing
not only because it develops their
muscles and enables them to defend
themselves In case of necessity, but
because it Is the best lesson in tern
per-keeping.
No man, without training, can en
dure sudden pain, inflicted by another
man without a temporary fit of anger.
Doubtless you have sometimes
walked along a patli in the woods be
hind* a companion and been smitten
smartly in the face by a branch he
released as he passed. If you didn’t
lose your temper you were hardly
human.
I,earn to avoid sudden anger, which
is very different from the slow de
liberate kind which yon ought to feel
in the face of a great wrong or evil
For, If moved to quick wrath, the
blood flies to yonr head, your Judg
ment. departs, and for a few minute*
or a few seconds you are no better
than a maniac.
You may not resort to blows, bul
you are likely to resort to hot worth,
that are more dangerous than blows
for they will be longer remembered.
Nothing worth while was ever an
compiished in a fnry. No vision, see
ing red, evv saw clearly. No brain
flushed with blood, was ever able ft
think.
It is right that you should be nngr>
at evil, that you should' lie indignant
when you see. for example, a man beat
Inga horse or a ehild. But your powei
to redress such a wrong, even to sav*
the victim, departs if you are nKivei
to violent rage.
T.eam to keep your temper. It wil
take a long hard course of lessons
but they will pay.

The season for measles is approach
ing. They rage, flourish and hold sway
from January to July, reaching their
height in April. In the period of ten
years 62.858 deaths occurred, 80% of
which occurred in the first six months
of these years. This is not guess
work; this is the record. One-half of
all the deaths occur before five years
of age. Measles rank next to croup
and diphtheria in producing death.

care can be taken as to avoid compli
cations, chief of which is pneumonia.
First of all, call your physician and
let him tell you how to avoid the com
plications.
The disease is highly contagious, and
is passed from one per on to another.
It has been transmitted by the blood,
but the most likely source of infection
Is the secretions from the nose, mouth,
throat. The period of incubation, that
is, from the time one is exposed until
the illness comes oc, is from nine to
eleven days. The rash Is quite con
stant, appearing about the thirteenth
or fourteenth day. One peculiar thing
about meaales is that it reappears
about every third year in thickly set
tled localities. In more sparsely settled
sections they are farther apart. It is
highly contagious before the eruption.
The eruption can be seen in the mouth
several days before It “breaks out."
Koplik spots should be looked for in
all children who have- been exposed,
and if the mouth shows signs or they
seem to have a fresh cold, the eyes
red and fever develops, they should be
at once isolated. Isolation of the pa
tient for two weeks Is considered safe.
An attack of measles seems to lower
the resistance for other diseases, per
haps more so than any other of our
infectious diseases. It is owing to this
cause that we have tuberculosis and
pneumonia following the disease. Ev
ej'y article used by the patient or that
comes in contact with the patient
should be burned, boiled or sterilized in
some way. The attendant should be
sure to wash the hands carefully and
DIPHTHERIA ANTITOXIN.
The question of the immunization o
one for diphtheria is p rbaps one o
the greatest that we have to considei
in the preventive line. It offers the op
portunlty also of giving the most satis
facotry results.
The age period that, is most like!}
to contract the disease is from >
months to three years. '1 he grea
problem of prevention then, is verj
early in life. Very few infants unde:
3 months are susceptible- from I
months of 6 months 30 per cent wil
be positive.
Passive immunity can be obtainec
by giving a small dose of Antitoxin
The immunity so induced is very in
definite and short, possibly 3 to t
weeks. It is not the best procedure
though it is often used. The State
Board of Health does not advise it ex
cept under exceptional circumstances
Perhaps it would be well for us tc
say further along the line of the iin
munlzing doze of Antitoxin that Anti
toxic immunity cannot be depended
upon to stamp out the infection. It
has several disadvantages that should
not be disregarded; the bacilli re
main In the throats of those imrnun
ized and the disease continues to crop
out from time to time as the Anti
toxin disappears, it is very expensive
time consuming and the resulting
serum reactions often disturbing
There isn’t any question that it should
be replaced by Toxin Antitoxin

nish culture tubes and make tests fo:
Diphtheria without charge when sub

All children over lk months old
should be given a Schick test, an
all positives should be given Toxin
Antitoxin. It would be best to give
Toxin-Antitoxin to all babies under IS
months. Recent views by Hr. Clark
show that 1/30 of tb d-ise of Toxin
Antitoxin first used is sufficient to
give permanent immunity against the
dread disease. This small dose will
not produce a reaction but will pre

change the clothing before mixing with
the family or other people. No cue
other than the one acting as nurse
should visit the sick room. The win
dows of the room should be darkened,
as the light hurts the eyes. A direct
draft on the patient should be avoided,
yet the room Rhould be .perfectly ven
tilated. Don’t fill the patient with ined"
icines and teas to break out the mea
sles; send for tho doctor and have him
keep in touch with tho patient, thereby
avoiding complications.

When measles occur in a community
It is not necessary to close the school
but no child should be permitted in

should examine the children each morn

have measles should be kept at home
until two weeks after exposure, then if
they are well they (gin return to
school.

PREVENTION OF SMALLPOX.
The key to the prevention of small
pox is vaccination. If all people in
a community have beun vaccinnted
within five years, no epidemic of
smallpox will occur in that commun
ity. Smallpox in a person vucclnated
twice is uncommon.
Secondary in prevention Is the quar
antine of the smallpox case and of all
unvaccinated persons who have come
in contact with the case. Quarantine
of 111 case alone is not sufficient, as
it would met prevent Infection from
those who might be still in the incu
bation period of the disease.
On the appearance of smallpox the
health officer urges all who have never
been vaccinufcd or who have not been
vaccinated within five years to be vac
cinated, knowing that if the people fol
low out this common sense procedure,
they will be immune to the disease.
The result Is that if all arc vaccinated
the health officer knows that he has
no smallpox to tear, other than those
few peisons infected before they were
vaccinated.
Persons vaccinated from 1 to 4 days
after exposure to a case of smallpox
rarely have the disease, the vaccina
tion protecting them.
l/nvaccinated school children or
teachers should not be allowed to at
tend school, as they form a group sus
ceptible to smallpox.
BLINDNEBS FROM BIRTH.
“Bom blind’’ means neglect, pure and
simple. We have a harmless preven
live for this kind of blindness; In
fact, wr have a law on our statute
books that requires the physician or
midwife to use this preventive. It
reads:
‘That it shall be the duty of any
person who shall be in attendance on
nay childbirth to apply to the child
such prophylactic treatment as may be
prescribed by the State Board of Health
to prevent blindness from gonococcus
Infection.
"That any person who shall nurse
or attend any Infant shall report any
inflammation of the eyes of said child
that shall develop within two weeks
after birth to the local health officer
or to a licensed physician. -

FORD SALES RECORD
BROKEN IN NOVEMBER
According to a statement issued
by the Ford Motor Company, de
liveries of Ford Cars and Trucks to
retail buyers during the month of
November totalled 106,327. This is
anew high sales record that has
never before been approached by the
company at this season of the year
and one which stands out in marked
contrast to the November, 1921, re
tail delivery figures which totalled
slightly over 58,000 Cars and Trucks.
For eight consecutive months, be
ginning with April last of this year
retail deliveries have exceeded 100,-
000 Ford cars and trucks each month;
the accumulated total for the first
eleven months of 1922 being approx
imately 1,200,000. While the com
pany points out that it is not unusual
for Ford retail sales to exceed the
100,0,0 mark during the spring and
early summer months when the de
mand is at its peak, the manner in
w hichbusiness has held up through
out the balance of the year is with
out precedent.
Credit for this remarkuble show
ing is attributed by the Ford Motor
Company to the many improvements
which have lately been made on Ford
cars and particularly to the new low
level of Ford prices, recently put
into effect. These new low prices
not only broaden the field of pros
pective Ford purchasers but go still
further in making the Ford cars the
best value from the standpoint of the
retail buyer, that it has ever been.
Although the Ford factories have
been operating at capacity for the
jmst eight months, sales have equaled
production ami judging from the un
usual manner in which orders are
coming in at this season of the.year
Ford dealers will be unable to ac
cumulate an adequate stock of cars
during the winter months for deliv
ery next spring.
In tin* opinion of the Ford Motor
Company, November sales are an in
dication that many prospective pur
chasers, realizing the exceptional
value now being offered in Ford cars,
are beginning to anticipate an un
usual spring demand and are there
fore placing orders during the fall
and will continue to do so through
out the winter to avoid disappointing
delays in deliyery later on. While
this will relieve the situation to some
extent, it is pointed out that the
steadily increasing demand for Ford
cars is nevertheless sure to create an
acute shortage as the season ad
l . •
vances.
Accordingly, the Ford Snles Or
ganization is urging prospective Ford
purchasers to arrange for delivery
during the winter months in order
that the demand next spring will be
relieved as far us possible.
