I t is not strange tl ia£ there are still those' who claim i | s not contagious a t all, or that in England it should be felt that quarantines I are useless.

The Bright Side. Some reassuring facts deserve to be

stated. ., i ' Even when there are a number of

genuine eases there is no* doubt that many supposedly s id | of it are really ill from another causei- This is always true in a panic. The secretary of a certain board of healtjh stated that he was: certain thai malny incompetent physicians who lost children reported their deaths as due tp infantile paraly­sis, knowing that the hasty burials would conceal their own ignorance. The malady is easily mistaken for rickets and scurvy and congenital paralysis. More, than one scare . has been occasioned by an isolated death from some entirely different .disease.

Towns that have suffered from an epidemic seem usually to be immune for two years. Nobody knows why, but it is suspected that it is due to the exhaustion of susceptible material.

Mow I t May Be Carried. Our best' knowledge a t present ig

that tiie disease is borne from place to place, occasionally b;r those affect­ed, possibly by flies ahtjT fleas, probably more often by adults not themselves ill who are unconscious "earners." . When so caTJed, it strikes only those few among little children who are for some mysterious reason "susceptible." • S i , '.

This is, not' the place; to discuss methods of treatment I t is so far a disease that chiefly raraires good .nursing. If i t comes to your own home, your first care should be to se­cure a nurse who is skilled, obedient and acceptable to the sick child.

I Food Riots and Farming, j !The above is the heading of an- edi­

torial in a leading farm pajper. ,The editor points. out that food for iman ana beast is of first importance yet th | se who live on farms where food is [abundant can scarcely appreciate t i l pangs of. hunger that caused the reient riots. All surplus food should be canoed, evaporated and stored for future use. While poor distribution coupled with an under production was thd! oa>j?e of the preser.^. condition it should serve as a warning' this year. There should be a concentrated effort toproduce feed for man and stock and build up the fertility of the soil for. better production in the future so as to avoid food riots in a land of plenty.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ECZEMA AND PILES

Thousands and thousands of people, says Peterson, are learning every week that one 25 cent box of Peter­son's Ointment will abolish Eczema and banish piles, and the grateful let­ters I receive every day are worth more to me than money. 1 I had Eczema for many years on my head and could not get anything to do it any good. I saw your ad and got one box and I owe you many thanks for the good it has done me. There isn't a blotch on my head now and I couldn't help but thank Peterson for the cure is g rea t Mrs. Mary Hill, 420 Third Ave., Pittsburg, Pa.

I have had itching piles for 15 years and Peterson's is the only ointment thai relieves me, besides the piles seem to have-gone. - A- B. Ruger, 1,127 Washington Ave., Racine, Wis.
