Personally, I'd like to sCc our money inflated; what they ought to do is- give us 2 dollars for our dollar bills and then some of us would eventually have as much as 2 dollars, Our government Is going to do a real miracle before, soon: you lust watch 'em reduce ex penses and raise taxes at the same squirt I get ready to begin spring gar dening yesterday. I found that, my rake was In 2 pieces, my hoe was missing, my hand-plow had disap peared, my mattock was handleless, my back wa* weak, my head was swimming, my garden fence was full of mart-holes my neighbors chickens were nearly grown, and the drug and seed stores natl stopped selling seeds and plants on rredick. I resigned right then and there. Since the railroads have quit run ning trains, they don't have any lawsuits. That's where they are saving millions. If a fellow wants to run into a train now, so's he can hatch up a damage suit, he will either have to wait a day or eo for ona to come along or slip up on one down In the roundhouse. They will be able to make expenses from now on if they'll lease their waiting rooms Mr bus stations and hot-dog emporiums, and sell their depots to garage promoters. Stumbling Block* Tt Is exactly one mile irotn my home to my office, across town There are more obstructions and hindermeht* between these two places where I work and where I do my eating and sleeping than there is between poverty and wealth. To «t«rt with, there are 2 blind corners a block away, and, believe me-Mnbel-lee they are stone blind No man ever expects to negotiate either one of them without getting crippled or killed, or mebbe both. So'far I have not contacted any ot the various fool drivers at these 1n tar-seettons. The next trouble l find ts a cov ey of red traffic lights. 1 have seen those red lights retard my progress hundreds of times when there was sent a soul In town but me. Under stand—now—friends: I alnt con demning electric trafie signals one lota I really and truly believe that we need at least 2 of our 7 Anyway, they keep me from being In a hurry to get where I'm trying to go. Tire next thing that raises my dander and causes evil mumblings from my thorax is the 3 railroad tracks I have to cross. Of course there alnt much use of trains now a-days, but Just let me start from or to work, or to or from dtnner or breakfast, and the switch engines begin to switch empty cars and do they keep the crossings blocked all day? You heard me As soon as I get by, they stop and wait for me to return. There is a longer route than either of these 1 have mentioned— to my office, but T would have to pass right by my grocer'o store—who sells me on credit—and IX there’s any one thing In the world 1 hate It i»--let anybody stop me and dun me when I am trying to get to a place very, very quick. That route also leads me within 10 feet of my favor ite bank, and If there's anything I sincerely don't want to see or think about during this so-'ailed depres sion, while I'm broke, It's a bank. But the worst traffic jarns I run upon is—2 schools that either turn out or take up just before I get to sight, and they—and their cars, bi cycles and other pedestrinated hum dingers—keep me parked for 10 minutes and by the time I get to my rendezvous. It’s time to come back. When I start any place, I want to move with speed. I have no snail or other type of creeping Inclinations about me I believe if I were dele gated to take a trip to the lower regions I'd want to go (here at a rate of 8.777,666,555,444,333 mites per min ute.

Needed to Check Measles This Highly Contagious Malady, Often Leading to Seri ous ( om plications, Requires That hot Only Patients but Others Exposed to It Be Segregated IN’ a recent report from the Do- ( partment of Health of New York City, it is stated that the 'umber of cases of measles re mrtetl in 1931 was greater than that of the pre ceding yea r . But 1931 was! not expected to I be a “measles 1 year.” ] Since 1918, ! records show that even-num bered years are ikely to be ‘measles years,” the lumbers o (i aaes of ineas ties having far xeoeded those reported in odd l)r. Copeland umbered years. For example, in 928 over thirty-five thousand ases were reported. In thei fol owing year* an odd-numbered ear, there were only two thousand uses. Measles Is essentially a disease of tiiidren, and it Is a serious ailment • hen tt affects children under five ears of age. It is highly contagious rid practically all children who are exposed will contract the disease. The first symptom is usually like that of a severe cold in the head ■ The eyes, nose and throat become in flamed and the eyes are extremely sensitive to light. The sufferer be omrs restless, has fever and refuses food. About the fourth day the fevea toes down and a rash appears on the face and back This rash spreads over the hodv. but as soon as It appears the patient feels better. The rash lasts about a week, and peeling of the skin occurs in about ten days. The disease is contagious until a week after the rash disappears. Unfortunately measles is usually considered as a mild disease, hut though the disease itself is seldom fatal, the complications which may occur are dangerous. These are brpntho-pneumonia, influenza, real pneumonia, severe laryngitis and in testinal complications. Every effort should be made to prevent these dangers. |__ The Proper Treatment._| It is exceedingly Important to sep arate the patient from the rest of the family, and all exposed persons must be kept under observation. Ex posed children, unless they have al ready had measles, must not be per mitted to attend school or to play wit It other children. The patient should be kept' warm In an airy room, and protected from drafts Admit to the room all sun light possible but protect the pa tient's eyes from any glare either with smoked glasses or placing pads over the eyes. Also, the eyes should be cleansed frequently with warm boric acid solution Pure white vase line may be placed upon the lids to prevent their sticking together. The rash often causes the skin to become greatly irritated and In flamed. To overcome this annoy, ing condition, sponge the skin with baking powder dissolved in water When the skin peels, dally baths with baking powder solution arg beneficial. We should cooperate to wipe out this disease. Enery year must be mad* a "non measles year.” Answers to Health Queries j K T. O. Q—What should a girl of 'JO, 5 ft. « in, tall, weigh?
