IN CANADA WHOOPING COUGH Prevention is always more. import- ant than cure. One of the perils of life. which children meet is whooping cough. Of all the communicable dis- eases, this one affects most seriously the youngest members of the family, Last year, whooping cough was res- ponsible for 540 deaths in Canada, of which number "331 were those of chil- dren tinder one year of age. Two points of great practical ins- portance should be known to all par- ents: First, 'that even the youngest baby may contract the disease, and secondly, that the younger the ,child, the greater the 'danger, The disease may occur' at any 'age, but over one- half of the deaths which it causes are those of children during their first years of life, and the other half prac- ticallyf • before the fifth year all occur of life, Whooping cough is a germ disease spread by the transference of the gerirt in the secretions of the nose and enotitll, in the acts of sneezing, coughing or kissing, and by contact with 'articles freshly soiled by these secretions, such as eating and drink- ing tttensils, the fingers, etc, Prom what has been said, it .follows Thursday, April 19th, 1934 OBSERVING HARVE T FESTIVAL To rescue the homeless victims of persecution and settle them amid hap- py surroundings of Israel's ancient homeland, is the purpose of the ap- ing. All the old Biblical festivals are peal for funds which the United Pal- observed with great joy in Palestine, g ti Appeal committee is inaugurat- that ne � ea o e 1Po that children who are coughing or sneezing should, be kept away from other children and should not be al- lowed to come near a baby. We say all children with coughs, sneezes and running noses, .because these symp- tom are the early signs of the dis ease, and they appear before the char- acteristic whoop. At the time they are present, the child may pass on the disease to others. After the germs enter the body, there is a period of time (usually from seven to ten days) during which the germs are establishing themselv- es, before there are any visible signs or symptoms of disease. Then ap- pears what is usually mistaken for a common cold, unless it is known that the hcild has been exposed, which which case whooping cough is sus- pected. These symptoms do not clear up; they grow worse, and the cough be- comes more frequent and more sev- ere, notably at night. Finally, the cough becomes paroxysmal — a ser- ies of short coughs with inability to catch the breath — the face may be- come blue, and then there is a sudden rush of air causing the characteristic sound we call a "whoop." The sev- erity of the disease varies greatly, sore cases being so mild as to es- cape notice, As to treatment, the most import- ant consideration is to maintain the general health of the child through proper food and fresh air. The value of whooping cough vaccine as a pre- ventive measure has not been defin- itely determined; in some cases, its use has apparently been successful. At the present time, we nzttstplace our reliance upon general habits of clean- liness and, above all, in keeping apart from other children these who have *hat appears to be a cold in the head.

Mrs. Meahan related an incident in e 01 Ballahos- . t r .TeC Bella c r ticrtt with t1ie " l HE LIFE OF OUR LORD" by Charles Dickens CHAPTER THE THIRD That there might he some good men to go about with him, teaching the people, Jesus Christ chose Twelve poor men to be his companions. These Twelve are called The Apostles or Disciples, and he chose them from among Poor Men in order that the Poor might' know always after that; in all years to come — that Heaven was made for them as well as for the rich, and that God makes no differ- ence between those who wear good clothes and those who go barefoot and in rags. The most miserable, the most ugly, deformed, wretched creat- ures that live, will be bright Angels in Heaven if they are good here on earth. Never forget this, when you are grown up. Never be proud or un- kind, my dears, to any poor man, wo- man or child. If they are bad, think, that they would have been better, if they had had kind friends, and good homes, and had been better taught. So, always try, to make them better by kind persuading words; and always try to reach them and relieve them if you. can. And when people speak ficer over the soldiers, who came to ill of the Poor and Miserable, think him, and said, "Lord! My servant lies at home in nay house, very ill." Jesus Christ made answer, "I will come and cure him." But the Centurion said: .1' and those who were ill with it were called lepers. This Leper fell at the feet of Jesus Christ,' and said, "Lord! If thou wilt, thou can'st snake rue, well!" Jesus, always full of compas- sion went away, Immediately, and be was cured. Being followed, wherever he went, by great crowds of people, Jesus went with his disciples, into a house to rest. While he was sitting inside; soiree men brought upon a bed, a man who was very ill of what is called the Palsy, so that he trembled all over from head to foot, and could neither stand nor move. But the crowd be- ing all about the door and windows, and they not being able to get near up climbed n i Jesus Christ, these men e to the roof of the house, which was a low one, and through the tiling, at the top, let down the bed, with the .' sick man upon it, into the room where Jesus sat. When he saw, Jesus, full of pity, said "Arise; Take up thy bed, and go to thine own hornet" And the man rose up and went away quite well; blessing him, and thanking God. There was a Centurion too, or of - how Jesus Christ went among them and taught them, and thought them worthy of His care. And always pity them yourselves, and think as well of "Lord! 1 am not worthy that Thou. should'st come to my house . Say the word only, and I know he will be, cured." Then Jesus Christ, glad`, that the Centurion believed in. him : so truly, said, "Be it so."• And the ser- vant became well, from that moment.
