Lacking the man himself, she kept his remembered Image la her heart and was wistfully con tented so.

' SCARLET FEVER x - - The past winter has been an epi demic year for scarlet fever. In , ' ' v. - minois scarlet fever and other forms of strep tococcus . Infec tions, notably red sore throat ' have been more widely prevalent than at; any previous A time since reliable records have been kept Scar let fever In all degrees of " In tensity, has been widespread among children, while adults' who have be come Immune to scarlet fever through having had the disease in childhood have developed the , sore toroat' ;;:.j:' ;.;:;;:';,; We do not have at this time a practical public-health method ot preventing scarlet fever as we have, .of preventing -smallpox and diph theria. The chained or bead-like cocci of the so-called streptococci family are still man's most dreaded bacterial enemy. They cause scarlet fever, . erysipelas, child-bed, fever, septic sore throat and blood poison ing. Scarlet fever la milder than It was a decade ago, but It la still a serious disease. We use two general principles to control contagion. One Is prevent- ,ing tbe .distribution ot the causative agent of disease. We do this by a variety of means, such as filtration and chlorlnatlon of drinking water, proper disposal of sewage, the pas teurization of milk, the inspection and control of foods and- food han dlers. ;'; The whole big field of what we How call sanitary science has been 'built up around this desire of man taK protect -himself and his family against diseases conveyed through water, milk and other foods. ' We have made wonderful prog ress In the control of diseases spread through these channels, such as cholera, diarrhea, typhoid fever, etc. These diseases may, very frapk- ly, be termed filth diseases, since they are caused by germs which are in the excreta of the sick per son. The well person becomes sick by swallowing the germs. The dys entery outbreak that recently oc curred In Chicago belongs to this group. Regardless of where, how and why. one of these diseases oc curs, from . our standpoint it Is a filthy contamination of food. Now as to the second method of controlling contagion. This Is by vaccination, which makes people Immune to the causative agent One should look at this general problem of disease from two standpoints, one, the host and the other, tbe Invader. You and I are the hosts, the germs are the invaders. All germs want to live, the same as you and L Germs grow rapidly. ": We have some ways of preventing scarlet fever. These ways are not so good nor so' efficient as we should like. It Is possible to vac- 4 clnate against scarlet fever by in jecting doses of vaccine. Five sepa rate Injections have been recom mended as the best method. Before being vaccinated, , however, one should have a skin test done to see if vaccination IS necessary. After -the course Of five injections, another skin' test should be made to. make sure that the vaccine has been ef fective and immunity established. This requires seven 'punctures In all. The length of time a person Is immune to scarlet fever Is stlU , in question. ' This method baa prsved sdecessful in", preventing scarlet fever In boarding schools and .with ether groups of children under controlled .conditions. .Vaccination against scarlet fever, It must be ad mitted, la not so successful as ts vaccination against diphtheria. Anyone recently recoyered from an attack of scarlet fever has disease-preventing substances In bis or her body.. Blood from such a recov ered person can be Injected, into a child during the early stages of scarlet 'fever and the disease will run a short mild course. Sometimes the use of this convalescent serum, as the blood from a recently recov ered case ts, called will cause a prompt disappearance of the fever, skin rash and sore throat . ' Scarlet fever antiserum, like diph theria antiserum, is available for treating cases of scarlet fever. But like the,'1 preventive vaccination methods, the scarlet fever antiserum does not work so weU as the diph theria antiserum. - i v;' 4 Scarlet - fever, (ike most of the contagious, diseases of childhood, be "glns .As',4Mre throat The diag nosis ts usually , made upon the type of skin 'rash' appearing' a few days after the onset of -the sore throat and fever. The disease Is contag ious from the beginning of the sore f throat stage, even before scarlet r fever is established In the diagnosis. The contagion is spread, by droplets from the throat and not In the peel ing skin, as many laymen believe.; t' One should try 'to guard children against contracting the disease, par. ticularly young . children. ; Nlneti out of each hundred deaths .from scarlet . fever occur In chUdren be twees two and, ten years'of age..

Considerable territory In the West has been studied by expeditions sent out by the National Geographic so. clety, the International boundary commission, the land office, coast and geodetic survey and by the geological survey, but some forests In the Puget Sound area are still considered im penetrable. Fallen timbers and un derbrush cover the forest floor some times to a depth ot 40 feet requiring surveyors to exhibit squirrel-like skill in advancing. Deep snow handicaps expeditions, too, and in tbe summer time hatchet blaze marks are often discernible on tree trunks 20 or 30 feet above the ground. Desert lands of southwestern Ari zona are surrendering their topo graphical secrets slowly to automo bile expeditions, but tbe National Geographic society estimates there is a region 200 miles long and 20 to 50 miles wide still unmapped. In Alaska, nearly one-half the en tire area or about 300,000 square miles.

Sahara's Immensity In Africa are natural wonders which almost challenge belief. The Sahara, a vast waste of rock, gravel and sand, Is so big It would hold the entire continental United States. The reason It Is a desert at all Is, simply Vated, that the wind blows tn the wrong direction down from the dry heart of Central Asia Instead of from, the molsture-glving ocean. The temperature changes so sharply at nightfall that travelers who have suffered In the blazing heat find themselves shivering, under blankets. This Immense area of desolation served as a highly effective shield which long protected Central Africa from overland exploration from the north.
