Protecting Babies From the Dangers of Whooping C ough

•y Herman N. Bundeeen. M. D. | WHOOPING cough continue* to Im- one of the most dangerous diseases for young children, particularly those under one year of agr. However, various new rnt-thodx of < treating whooping rough and of preventing it have been presented and tented There in now a vaccine for lit- prevention of whooping cough which works quite satisfactorily. Some question eiirts mm to just what may be the beat time for giving the injectiuus of thia vaccine. Some physicians favor giving it to the child at as early an age as three months, while others believe that when given thia early, it will not produce protection against the disease. as the child may not have the power to build the antibodies for fighting th* infection. Protection Obtained Inview of the fact that there is nome evidence that when given to hubies as young as three or four months of age. some protection against the disease may be obtained. It would appear now in the light of our present knowledge that it might lie good policy in many cases to start giving the injections to babies of this ag* • Whooping cough starts with symptoms of roughing and come* times slight fever. The first aymtoms may be like those of a chest cold. As . the condition progresses the roughing grt more severe and usually, the child soon begins to Whoop. The whoop occurs after a siege of coughing when the child draw* in a breath, making a crowing sound. Human Scrum According to Dr. Joseph H.

public because they know their disagreements will be ironed out and n little yelling won't lead to war.'* —o—o — Chicago has set up un agoncy to attract young men in working or locating there, offering them employment suggestions and aiding them In finding jobs. Recognized us the nut ion's second largest city, it continues to grow and with its progressive spirit will some day be a runner-up with old New York. Kight now, the young men. nearly all of whom are returned veterans are mor interested in getting located und on the road to business success, than anything proposed for them. The Chicago idea should jsiy off. — 0-0 In these days of rush and turbuianeo it is refreshing to note that the annual township institutes still hold a place in community life. The meetings are being held in several of the townships ami the attendance is good, the programs affording neighbors und friends to gather at the school house, talk things over, view the future, express their hopes and hear instructive talks by competent speakers on the best practices used in housekeeping and farming. It might be an ohl fashioned idea, but the institutes have been modernised «o that those who don't attend really miss hearing something new in agricultural circles. O_ -O-— The Famous:To stay famous, stick to the field tn which fame was won De parture may mean obscurity. That happened to the late Hugh Kull- rton, who a generation ago ranked among the very top sports writers. When he turned to other subjects, he largrly dropped out of sight. Hugh Fullerton put baseball on a scientific basis. He discovered, for instance. that the effort required to throw a ball 350 feet In the New York bail park would >• nd it 400 feet in the rarefied atmosphere of Denver. So closely did ffe study the teams that often he forecast not merely the outcome Os a Kame, but the score und the number of hits and errors. These estimates often came wtartingly close to the facts. This ability to judge opposing teams caused him to susp-wt the crookedness of the 1919 world's series and eventually to bring about its exposure.

successful In warding off whooping rough, as well as in treating It. In ten children who were closely hi contact with u case of who •••- ing r ough and had never had the disease, the Injections of the serum either warded off the disease completely or made the attack mild These t-n children were between i the ages of four months and thirteen years. The injections weftgiven after the chillrm had alr ady developed symptoms suspicious of whooping cough. Seven escaped the disease entirely while the other three had it In a mild form. In addition, the m«rum was given to 25 active cases of whooping cough ranging in age from four months to thirty-one years. Eleven of these were markedly Improved, seven moderately Improved and seven received no lienefits. Dr. Lapin favors the use of this scnihi together with the administration of u small dose of on<* of the sulfonamide drugs in children who come In contact with a cas of whooping cough. Every effort should be made, however, to see to It that Infants. often starting when they are alrnut three or four months of age. get Injections ot whooping r ough vaccine. QUESTIONS AMO ANSWER® E.

REPORT SWEEPING (CoHttsuml From !•»«» »>■•> 'CIO president Philip Murray confirmed that he had been meeting with representatives of the U. S. Steel Corp, but said they hadn’t "even approximated an agreement” for ending the strike of 75fi,ootr steelworkers. "We and the steel companies have Ironed out most of our difficulties,” he said. "However I do not know when the strike will end.” New York tugboat operators, by a vote of lifil to 457. rejected pleas of union leaders In deciding to continue their walkout. The strike has cripplesl food and fuel supplies and forced a return of the wartime "brown-out." In the long, drawn-out General Motors dispute, corporation and union officials recessed negotiu tions until Monday, dispelling hopes for a weekend s<-ttlement of the fcl-day-old walkout.

Emphasizing that the military victory was not complete until political victory over the last vestiges of fascism had been won, Kiselev said Franco must not receive any support from the United Nations, and the Kpanizh Democratic movement should rely on UNO help. o Traffic Death Toll Up After V-J Day Indianapolis. Fob. 9—lUPl—Hoosier motorists were told today that nearly half of the 1946 Indiana traffic toll was due to “irresponsible driving” after V-J day. Col. Austin R.
