Whooping cough, while in the main a disease of childhood, is slat to be lightly regarded as a simple disease or as something to be "had early and gotten over with." It is a serious disease and very con- tagious, especially among children. In this country thousands of children die every year from whooping cough and its complications, Adults sometimes get it, and when they do it is extreme- ly serious. Every mother of young children should be familiar with the symptoms. so that she may not only give prompt attention to the ailing child but also take immediate steps to keep the dis- ease from spreading to others.. In the beginning of the disease the child shows no signs of an ordinary cold. There is running of the nose, slight fever and a dry cough. The eyes are bloodshot. After a week the cough becomes worse instead of better, andthe coughing fits develop. The child now coughs many times in succession. It becomes pale, and when it draws hi its breath there oc- curs the sharp, shiill noise that is known as the "whoop." The "Whoop," owever, is not always present, but, even in eases where it is not, great care must be taken of the sick child. In attacks of the disease that might be classed as mild a child will have four or five coughing fits daily, while in severe cases there will be many more. Carelessness is largely responsible for the great spread of the disease, and during the wet, cold months of early spring mothers should be on their guard against it. Unless a child • sick with whooping cough is isolated the disease will spread like wildfire among its playmates. If your child has the disease you must not allow it to play with other children. Even after the "whoop" has stopped there is clanger of spreading the disease to others. If,' on the other hand, you hear of some other child in the neighborhood who has the disease, take every precau- tion to protect your child. All matter that comes from the mouth and nose during the time a child is sick should be received In pieces of old linen or rags and burned. Separate cups, glasses, plates and knives, forks and spoons should be p 'firµtie'-si lr third. ': Fresh 'air at all times as an impor- tant -part of the treatment and cure of whooping cough. During the day. if the weather is fine, see that the ail- ing child plays in the open air, but alone, of course. Night and day keep its bedroom well aired. The feeding of a child suffering from whooping cough is important and is best carried out under the sea pervision of a physician. There is fre "quently vomiting during the disease, with the result that many children rapidly lose weight and strength. This leaves the child in a condition where it is apt to contract tuberculosis or pneumonia—diseases that frequently threaten in the wake of whooping cough. AGED OFFICE BOYS Old Boys Making Good as Messengers and Office Boys. Enter the aged office boy. Grey- haired telegraph messengers have for years bean a common sight in the city, but not until recently, when the short- age hortage of office and errand boys became acute, have business houses, both big and small, harried by the lack of the youngsters, .resorted to the employ- ment of elderly men in their stead. The head of one of the biggest priut- ing and publishing houses in New York is now depending almost entirely upon elderly men for work in and out of the office previously dome by boys. He advertised for active, elderly men to act as messengers, etc. Fifty applications were received in the first 'nail, well and neatly written, proof of the ability and common sense of the iipplicant, The first three were en- gaged, and that firm 3411 never go book to boys.

The Educational Value of Music --The Power of Modern Musical Instruments to Reproduce and Intrepret the Old Masters. That some knowledge of music is essential to a well-balanced life is now an almost established fact. Music, let it be noted, is the instinctive im pulse of the human being from the et elle up, and it reverberates the - world over. It is the adorable gift of God, which instinctively seeks to expreas itself in a manner more funda- mentally natural, perhaps, than speech itself. Who has not been attracted by the cooing music of the cradled babe long ere it sought to utter a word. Does it seem natural to instinctively crave to express one's every sense of feeling in speech? The claims of music for greater educational recognition are so manifold that one wonders that it is not given more prominence and taught more thoroughly in our public schools. What magnificent opportunities there are for the pupils of tc day to enhance their musical education, as compared with the hard striving times of the old masters, who had to content themselves with such limited instru- ments as the old harpsichore. Can you imagine how manifestly grateful Bach, Handel and other old masters would have been had they at their dis- posal such high grade pianos, as manufactured to -day, capable of re- sponding to every emotion? It is dif- ficult to conceive how it was possible for these old masters to give to the world such beautiful and immortal works, handicapped, we might say, with such inferior instruments. Were they in possession of such perfected instruments as we have to -clay, who could conjecture what undiscovered form of music might have been handed down to us.

A Mother's Short Cuts. "How do you manage to have so much time for your children outside of all the home things you do for tl'.em?" questioned one mother of a neighbor. "13y taking short cuts through my work," was the laughing answer, "and trying to be ready for play in its own time." "What do you mean by short cuts ? Clothes can't be half -mended, dishes can't be half washed, bread can't be slack -baked." "No, that would be cutting work short instead of cutting across it. I have several simple devices now for cutting across some of my duties. For example, part of the time I wear glasses and part of the time I do not need them. I used to waste many valuable moments in Iooking for them when changing from one task to an- other. At last I made a rule that in each room I must have one special place to lay them down and never al- low myself to put them anywhere else. This habit has become settled and my glasses are never mislaid.

Let it boil until it yields easily to pressure be- tween the fingers; then drain it in a colander and rinse it thoroughly in cold water in which it should remain until you are ready to finish it accord- ing to any given recipe.

The best method of combating flies is to prevent their breeding by de- stroying their breeding places. Thus if flies were excluded from the gar- bage can, manure pile and privy vault, it would be possible for the commun- ity to be free from flies. It is an easy matter to provide a tight -fitting lid for the garbage can, and almost as easy a matter to render the privy vault fly -proof. However, it is not such an easy matter to ex- clude fliesfrom the manure pile. It is best to store the manure in a she`d that has been made fly -proof by means of screen, or to store it in a tight box. If it is not possible to store the man- ure in fly -proof places, the manure pile can be treated at Intervale of ten days or two weeks during warm weather by means of chemicals, This kills the maggots before they develop into the adult fly. Powdered hellebore can be secured at any drug store, and it is especially recommended for treating manure Fly Poisons tract oth Flies and Babies In the lust three years tho press has repPorted 1116 fly oleonlnaonao4—olarge pro portion fand.

Mix one-half pound of pow- dered hellebore with ten gallons of wa- ter, and mix thoroughly with the man- ure, especially around the edges of the pile. The above quantity is sufficient for ten cubic feet of manure. The hellebore is very inexpensive, and for a few cents a sufficient quantity can be secured to last through the entire season. If the breeding places are destroyed but few flies will be found around the house, and the few that do make their appearance can soon be caught by means of fly traps on porches and stickly fly paper indoors.

The best method of combating flies is to prevent their breeding by de- stroying their breeding places. Thus if flies were excluded from the gar- bage can, manure pile and privy vault, it would be possible for the commun- ity to be free from flies. It is an easy matter to provide a tight -fitting lid for the garbage can, and almost as easy a matter to render the privy vault fly -proof. However, it is not such an easy matter to ex- clude fliesfrom the manure pile. It is best to store the manure in a she`d that has been made fly -proof by means of screen, or to store it in a tight box. If it is not possible to store the man- ure in fly -proof places, the manure pile can be treated at Intervale of ten days or two weeks during warm weather by means of chemicals, This kills the maggots before they develop into the adult fly. Powdered hellebore can be secured at any drug store, and it is especially recommended for treating manure Fly Poisons tract oth Flies and Babies In the lust three years tho press has repPorted 1116 fly oleonlnaonao4—olarge pro portion fand.

Mix one-half pound of pow- dered hellebore with ten gallons of wa- ter, and mix thoroughly with the man- ure, especially around the edges of the pile. The above quantity is sufficient for ten cubic feet of manure. The hellebore is very inexpensive, and for a few cents a sufficient quantity can be secured to last through the entire season. If the breeding places are destroyed but few flies will be found around the house, and the few that do make their appearance can soon be caught by means of fly traps on porches and stickly fly paper indoors. All windows and doors should be carefully screened.

This will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft earn or cal- lus from one's feet. A few drops of this new ether earn - pound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness in- stantly, and scan the entire corn or callus, root and all, dries up and can be lifted off with the fingers. This new way to rid one's feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that freezone dries in a moment, and simply shivels up the corn or callus without irritating the surrounding skin, Don't let father dle of infection or- loakjaw from whittling at his corns, but clip this out and make him"try it. if your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him, to order a .small bottle from his wholesale drug house for you. j t , L'MtNr � tr � �,; lX7 t� . � �, t 1 9•.n ri la at •!# 71.•n 1{z ,i'� r'", .li shift aV m1 C1e When you think of and Think of PARKER'S Let us restore to seeming newness your Lace Curtains, Carpets, Blankets and other household and personal effects, The.
