Whooping Cough Can Be Abolished!

•y Herman N. Bwadawn, M. D Tbe beet thin* about whooptig cough la that In thia day and age go dilld need have it. It can he virtually aboMahed from any com nggity And that is about the only good tbfog that can be said of thia tormuting dibeaee which kills so as«y babies under (he age of two, •nd so weakens older youngster:) wMb repeated bouts of convulsive coughing that they fall an easy pray to other Illnesses Helpful Serum A* yet. no completely satisfactory methods of treatment which directly stuck the disease itself bake base found, although what Is known as hyperimmune serum often Is helpful That to. nothing which will kill or neutralise the germ which causae -whooping cough has been discovered. gome recent animal experiments have given • broad hint that perbaps the new drug, streptomycin will be of value. But so far we caggot be sure because tests on whoaptag cough In human beings have not been carried out for a eufltetebt length of time to deter mlos streptomycin's effect. Until further work Is done, chief relltnce in saving Ilves from whoop ing cough must be idsced on prerentkm Acording to Dr Louis W Saw of the Northwestern University Medical School, whooping cough has been practically banished from the city of Evansfon. Illinois, dur Ing the past few years through the coMcientious appMcation of a few tlmpfo rules Preventive Injections Meat Important step In this progrnm of prevention is the giving pf Injections of whooping cough Vu cine to all infants as soon as possible after they reach sis mouths of age. Furthermore. even though children have received this vacdue. M is aeceeesry to give an•tiler injection or booster dos,- to JncresM their InHMBMy If they sbogld at a later date be exposed to the dtaease. <*Dr. Baser suggests a third Injection tost before a child enters scbwd- There are some Fho lieve that the whooping cough

eludes an intorasting editorial on tbo subject with. "Tbo country needs a few more good laws today. but above everything else, It needs a better brand of citlsen ship." Senator Claude Pepper. Florida llbeiwl and one of tbo leaders In Congroaa. will be the keynoter at the bemo< rat state convention next Tuesday. Former Governor Clifford Townsend will wield the gavel as permanent chairman, an appointment which pleases every voter of the Democrat ticket. Chief Interest centers In the nomination for U. 8. Senator and although the Rev Morris Coer a of Indianan otto. formerly of Bluffton la the only announced candidate, the names of Former Governor Bchrlcker, R Earl Petero. FHA director, and Frad Haya., former state chairman are prominently mentioned for the post. Nominees for etale oßcea and the courts will also be named by the delegate* The local delegation will be headed by Judge J Fred Fruchte and Gerald "Doc" Visard, county chairman, who will go to the convention city the brat of the week ——o—O- —— Member* of the Purdue Eatensteo Department are making a state survey on the operation and maiutenauie of county farms and infirmaries iu respect to coats and hoping to obtain the line of thought as to what the future will l-ring With Social Security pay ments, old age pension* and other forms of relief, the services of the county infirmary may be ol tees value a generation hence. That would be a worthy improvement Hut. there will always be the aged ami inkrm who have no ono to care for them and each community must piovide a proper place tor their care. Our state constitution mentions that “counties shall pro vide farms, a* an asylum for those persons, who by reason of ago. Infirmity. or other misfortune, have ! claims upon the sympathies and aid of society " The trend of counties Joining in the administration of inflrmies may be the answer in another decade, providing the number of inmates declines.

vaiciae may be effective In build ing protection against the disease even.though it la given as early as the third month This part of the program irnmn nixes the coming generation of school children but it does nothing to protect those of the present from this highly contagious 111 ness. Theiefore the second step In any preventive program must be the eariy diagnosis and imiaediate quarantine of any who con tract whooping cough. In this way. spread of the disease will be leas ened Children Separated Children who have been In con tact with the disease and who arenut themselves immune, should be kept separate from other chil I dien until the Incubation period , has passed. Only in this way can a community make certain that , those in the early and most highly contagious stage of whooping ! cough are not passing It on to i others. i Early symptoms are those of a ( common cold and. for this reason , a sick child may fafevt dorans of playmate* before the true nature I of the cough Is recognised and quarantine established. When a baby, no matter how young, is exposed to whooping cough, the infant may be protected by st once giving an Injection of what to called human pertussis Imi mnne serum. This Is blood serum i taken from adults who have had whooping cough In childhood and ! who have received Injections of r whooping rough vaccine to in crease their immunity to the disease. it la suggested that If the baby was exposed to the disease for only a nbort time, one injection of the Immune serum given into the muscles of the buttocks will be mffleient. If there has been more prolonged exposure, two injections at u three-to-hveday interval are advised » Mothers should follow the ad vice of the physician, concerning when the whooping cough vaccine is to be given and. should an iurant be exposed to the disease, the prompt administration of the immune serum may be life-saving.

They visited the etale fair grounds, James W. Rtley's grave, and the State capital building, where th«-y saw Governor Gates. The Circle was the next point of Intermit where they enjoyed look Ing out over the capital city. Some of the group walked up and down while others rode the elevator. They then visited the farm bureau building, where the rural youth state office Is located. The World War memorial was one of the most impressive places visited.

Henry F Bchrlcker and Clifford Tonwnsend; former Marlon circirrlni Judge Earl Cox. state FHA administrator Harl Peter* and former state chairman Fred F. Bays. Bay* and Rchricker have issued “I am not a candidate, nevor was a candidate, never will be candidte" statements. However, political observers believed they or any of the others would consent to being "drafted" from the con venlion floor. Many party Raders believe Rchricker. now an Indianapolis banker and a conservative, would make the strongest showing against the Republican nominee. ?7y.ar<d<l William E Jenner L-ihor men were cool to H<-hrick-er'* candidacy, though, while fav oi-lng Bay* or Townsend There were two avowed candidates for the U. 8 senate, hut both were regarded as “political unknown*".

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN THE TRAIN was slowing and Corbett looked through the unndow. The sign on the sun-bleached depot said: WILDWOOD. He decided to pass up his change and hunt for the pint and ths porter during ths stop. Hs opened the pint in the men'* room. It was rye; it was raw; it had cost five dollars. He offered a drink to the Manne from Tamaqua, but when the corporal said: "Why not? Any time you get something tor free from the Army," and stretched hl* arm for the bottle, Corbett yanked a Bat paper cup from the wall container and poured out a drink. It was ticklish work, with the sway of the train and hla own unsteady band. The Marine sniggered. "Gettin* pertickiar. Acts Uke a civilian awready?" "Darned If Fd trust a Marine with my bottle." Ho handed the paper cup over, three quarters full. "Make it last. I'm saving ths stuff for a party." "What kind of a party with only one pint?" "She's a lady. Shell take what she gate and bo happy." "Lady? What in heck is a lady? What good is a iady?" "Any time the Air Force need* advice from the Marines “Okay, okay." The Marine held the paper cup up. “In your eye ” "Short war." Corbett said. He drank from the bottle. The Marine emptied his cup at one gulp, crumpled IL tossed it Into the ash stand bowl. Ho said: "Wo got better from the mines.” He ducked his head into hla collar, pretending to bo dodging a blow. When Corbett merely sat down without menacing gestures, be aaked: "How was the lunch?” “One guess." Whatever tt was. the company or liquor, be bad begun to teto good. “I'm smart." the Marino said. "When 1 blow my pay I s.-ant somethin' for it. Sec my old buddies?" Oorbett shook bls head. "Saw Plenty. Heard plenty without them." The kid nodded sagaciously. “The/ro somethin'.
