A HEALTH SERVICEOF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL .ASSOCIATION AND LIFE ,INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA SCARLET FEVER .. Scarlet fever, is a disease coinmon to children, and is caused by a virus (living organism) finding its way into the body. It occurs most fre- quently in the autamn and is usually epidemic in character because it is highly communicable. As a rule the period of invasion is sharp and acute lasting from twelve to twenty-four hours. The patient complains of feeling sick all over, with headache, sore threat, vomitting and a burning up feeling clue to a temperature which niay range frons 103 to 105 degrees Farenheit. On the second qr third day of illness red spots appear first on the neck and chest and then spread rapidly over the body. The chin and an area round the mouth and the scalp usually es- cape. The skin may be swollen and tender to such an extent that it makes movements of joints painful. The tongue is covered at. first with a whitish fur but this disappears on or about the fourth day revealing a brightred tongue dotted with bright red spots popularly called the red strawberry tongue. During the period that the red. spots are corning out the throat re- mains sore, there is pain in swallow- ing, the voice is altered, and =re- moved tonsils are markedly promi- nent, generally covered by yellowish membrane. The temperature remains high— from 103 to 105 degrees Farenheit until the rash begins to fade, which it does in three to ten days. Then comes the stage of convales- eence. As the rash disappears the skin begins to shed itself (disquama- tion the scientists call it) beginning on the face, neck and chest and this Lasts from one to three weeks, some- times longer. As disnuamation is probably the period of greatest infection, great care should be exercised then as throughout the disease to protect other persons from contagion. The patient should be kept in bed for two to three weeks depending up- on the severity of the case and isolat- ed for five to six weeks until all dan- ger of infecting others has passed. It should be emphasized that scar- let fever is one disease that is fre- quently associated with complications involving other parts and organs of the body. It is most important there- fore that prover treatment be com- menced at the onset of the disease. And a word to mothers. If your child complains of feeling unwell and shows symptoms in whole or in part as described in this article, imme- diately put him to bed, away from any other children and call your doc- tor. Scarlet fever like other infec- tion's requires to be treated intelli- gently. And the earlier the treat- ment and management is begun the less likely, are complications to fol- low. HAPPINESS' Happiness is just simply an out- war d expression of earinward thoughts. If things are going, well with us we show it in our actions, in our speech, and in our countenance, but if things bother us, then our whole being is saddened. Worry is one of the chief things. which takes the happiness out of ern: lives. This follows such direct causes as anger, jealousy, over sensatire noss, and falling into temptation and sin. It is the desire of everyone to be happy. So often we make ourselves as well as others unhappy, just be- cause we feel that we have to worry over some trivial . thing which soon passes away. 'No one can just describe the feel- ing of happiness, but we know what a delightful sensation it 'is. We are then ready to tackle any work which may confront us. When that exhil- arating•feeling has gone what a drag all kinds of work is. • All forttutate people are not always happy, nor are' all unfortunate peon plc always unhappy. We have gone into sick rooms and there we have found some of the happiest people we could wish to see. What is the cause of their happiness? In the ma- jority of cases they have walked close to God, and they know that in their being patient and happy they are worlting out His divine Will. There can be noreal happiness un- til we give ourselves completely to Jesus Christ and allow Him to be our guide. Can we not follow that thought in our daily likes. If we just trust our future to Him, He- will bring happiness into our souls. Where do we find my chief source of. happiness? The answer is in work, in keeping ourselves busy so that our minds will not have time to dwell on things unpleasant, for bothersome thoughts will not make for happy lives. In all walks of life we can final happiness in work. A scholar finds his happiness in his books, a doctor in endeavoring to cure his patients, a mother in caring for her family, a minister or teacher in trying to pass on the love of God to others, and so on. An unemployed person has too much time on nes hands to be happy Happiness comes when we are giv- ing of ourselves to others and only then. Let us try it. A HAPPY DAY A heart full of thankfulness, A thimble full of care; A. soul of simple hopefulness, An early morning prayer. A smile to greet the morning with; A kind word as the key To open the door and greet the day, WhaLe'er it brings to thee. BOTANICAL NOTES FOR OCTOBER (Experimental Farms Note) In the solemn peace of glowing au- tumn, when beauty rather than sor- row dims the eyes, there seems to be a hush—the hush of the year turn- ing-ehalf satisfied, half reluctant, to- wards its winter sleep. It is a soothing relief, after the hot and humid summer days to awaken each morning in air made crystalline by frost and sweet with faint per- fumes. When dawn breaks, the mist floats in a milky coverlet over all the world, but is soon raisecl like a curtain by the rising sun to expose the wood- land alive with great gleaming Inas- • res of gay and shivering colour—''bold, crimsbn, scarlet and fire-red—•a splen- dour which possessor the brain with 'ts fierce effulgence, all too short ed.

The export season extends from the, mid- dle af`September to the latter part of November and at the end of Septem- ber about 9000 cases -3,240,000 eggs —had gone forward. The export trade at this season is made up of eggs laid inthe spring which are held under refrigeration until shipping date. Saskatchewan Manitoba and Ontario are the chief exporting provinces, with Quebec and Alberta making smaller shipments. While exports of Canadian eggs to Great Britain are not large in com- perison with shinmenits from some other countries, they are, however, very well regarded and sell at a higher price than any other eggs of the same class on the British market.

The great promise fulfilled that un- tilthe end of time the days of har- vest shall never fail ineludes, of course, oar edible wild ftntgi, an ad- mirable and fully illustrated account of which has been written by Messrs. H. T. Gustow and W. S. Odell. Other edible wild plants which yield roots, fruits, greens and fungi are dealt with by A. E. Porsiid in a bulle- tin entitled "Edible Roots and Berries of Northern Canada" published by the Department of Mines and 'Resources, Ottawa. The species are described and illus- trated in a way which should be read- lyunderstood by all, and will there- fore appeal especially to school chil- dren. Although many northern seeeies grow in the south, itis hoped that in the near future a further work may be written describing' our bounteous natural harvest of the south where re- cent investigation has shown there are very many other wild plants that yield not only edible roots, faints, greens and fungi, bet seeds, bever- ages, fibre, candle material, as well, as tobacco,', salt and soap substitutes. Specimens of wild fruits attached to theirtwigs and with their leaves, or mushrooms, and toadstools, may be addressed to the Dominion Botanist, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, who will be pleased to say whether they may safely, be eaten.

DROUGHT AREA "Just sort of holding on for one more crop; Hoping and praying that the drought will stop; Watching the brassy brightness of the sky, Hearing the hollow sound of the wind's cry; My neighbor's face reflecting clear and plain The aching hope of everyone for rain. "They're holding on—you know how soldiers cling To the last broken trench when every- thing Loolcs lost, and only battered bodies know The dogged faith that will not let them go— And so they stick to these brown fields and wait, And hope for rain before it is too late." "The women too, these gallant pion- eers Who dare not give away to fruitless tears, Standing behind their men, in bright array, Cheering them on—living from day to day, A shining host holding these Western lands In the safekeeping of their calloused hands."
