NO. 300 TUBERCULOSIS - OF CHILDHOOD Scon after _Birth, Children May Become Infected With This Dreaded Disease DEATH RATE AMONG . CHILDREN IS HIGH Dr. R. L. Laney of Lake Julia Clearly Explains Symptoms and Urges Care Prepared by Dr. R. L. Laney, Lake Julia Sanatorium. 1in the hignt or our present knowl- edge Qr TULEICUISIS, w2 beueve tnatb ail chifdren are boru iree irom that disease. However, soon atter birtn the cmldren’ may become infected. with tuberculpsis as ‘the resuit of coming in contact with consumptives and tneir secretions, (sputum, dis- charges trom the nose, eic.) or as a resuit of bemng ted muk trom tuber- culous cows. During the first year of life from five to 1en per cenc of children are thus intecteu with tubercie bacillus, and the percentage of infections keeps on growing with the Increasing age ot the children until at tne age o1 fi1teen years or over about ninety per cent of all children show positive signs of having become tuberculous. i The death rate among young child- ren infected with tuberculosis is ex- tremely high. Of infants under one year of age hardly any recover, and those infected up to two years of age about ninety per cent die. Beginning with the third year of life the deatn rate is quite low and this low mor- tality continues until about the four- teenth year, when it begins to rise again until the twentieth year the maximum_has been reached and is maintained until far advanced age. One of the most common manifest- ations - of ‘tuberculosis in_ children is that of enlarged glands in the neck. These may be felt in the sides of the neck as small round hard nodules from thesize of a pea up to that of a marble: Sometimes these chains of glands enlarge to such an extent as to be quite noticeable and may dis- figure the patient. . 3 Many children having these enlarg- -ed ‘giands -dosmct sppear; to be sick at all, and recover very readily un- _der proper treatment - and healthy surroundings. In others there'are very important and troublesome symptoms, such as fever, night sweats, anemia, loss of weight and poor. appetite. The average healthy child’s tem- perature ranges between minety- eight -and four-fifths -and minety- nine and four-fifths degrees. When- ever it is above these limits it is a sign that something is wrong with the child, and the cause should be sought for. A persistant range of more than one and a half degrees between .the lowest and highest tem- perature of the day'is indicative of tuberculosis when no other definite cause can be found. Night sweats ag a symptom of tu- berculosis in children is not of so much importance as in adults. Many healthy children perspire freely when sleeping soudly, and many night sweats, in older children especially may be of nervous origin. To be in- dicative of tuberculosis in children, the night sweats must occur during the last half of the night and must be quite profuse. In addition to the fever, most tu- berculous children suffer from loss of appetite, and weaknes, and have little endurance.. Though they may appeat vigorous and lively in the mornings, they will become flushed and tired during the latter part of the _afternoon. A norma! healthy child should gain | in weight’ constantly as it increases in height. If it does not do so for sev- eral months continuously, the cause should be loked for. If there is no other - condition to account for the child’s not gaining in weight, tuber- culosis is in all probability the cause. A child having any of tie above symptoms, even though there is no enlargement .of the neck glands, should have & thorough chest exam- inaticn, as such an examination may reveal an enlargementsof the glands that are situated within the chest. Another symptom of tuberculosis in children as well as in adults is cough, especially ‘when combined with some of the other symptoms of (Continued on Page Three) BEMIDJI CREAMERY CO.

BEMIDJI, MINN,, SA';‘URDAY EVENI ILY PIONEER NG, APRIL 8, 1922 LUMBER MARKET REPORT |GROSSMAN MOVES STOCK SHOWS STEADY INCREASE| TO NEW NANGLE BLOCK American Lumberman Calls Softwood Market Better Than Hardwood M/nrket Continued evidence of a consider- able ‘increase in the volume of busi- ness is shown by the action of the lumber market. - In house building, the grades which are first required are the lower, ahd at the present time these low grades of coftwcod are the most active, and are selling with: the greatest freedom. The wood in-most active demand at this time is southern pine and as might be gathered from the above, the low- er grades are selling the easiest with the result that here and there have been slight price stiffenings. There have been no general advances, how- ever, and the softwood lumber mar- ket so far this year has been on an unusually stable basis. Railroads are buying material with greater’ freedom.and are not only building new cars but are rushing the repairs of old ones. While there is still a good-sized surplus of idle cars taking the_country as a whole, nevertheless there are some sections from which occasional complaint is already heard of a car shortage. This in a way is enccuraging, for 1t indi- cates the general recovery of busi- ness which has-resulted in a2 steady increase in the volume of freight moving. ~Other industrial consum- ers are also taking increasing quan- tities of lumber which :ndicates a pick-up in general busineéss business. For further ~example, the crating bonsun\'fi ‘may be cited. The demand for cra\ %, \lumber is brisk and indi- cates th ©_wmanufacturers generally who mush, 9, ‘e a sturdy and depend- able shipp\ ¥ “ontainer, are increas- ing their ot @ * very considerably.

Industria, wand is increas- ing and stocks } ot overly large, but nevertheless,' \ are a number of manufacturers\ ¥ at this time are anxious to sell stock with the result that prices show a considerable spread. Dry stocks are very low, however, and it is by no means easy to secure any large quantity of dry hardwood, particularly the upper grades. Southern hardwood logging operations have been very materially interfered with by recent floods; a condition. which will be reflected on in the amount of lumber available for sale. DEVIL ANSE' HATFIELD WILL LIVE IN HARBLE (By United Press) Matewan, W. Va., April 8.—Per- petuated in marble, “Devil Anse” Hatfield, leader of a faction of the famous Hatfield-McCoy feud, will watch over the destinies of his des- cendants from the peak of the moun- tain which separates the Big Sandy and Guyandotte rivers. Capt. Anderson Hatfield, called “Devil Anse” because of his relent- less leadership in the most famous fend of modern times, realized his life’s ambition when he died “with his boots on” in his home here in January of last year. The Hatfield-McCoy friction came to an end thirty years before the death of the stern old warrior, and Hatfields and McCoys rubbed elbows at his funeral, uniting to pay hom- ge. “"The statue which shows “Devil Anse” as he lived, with rough, home- spun clothes, cow-hide boots and bristling beard, was carved in Italy from designs furnished by an Amer- ican granite company. Weighing over six thousand pounds, the monument to “Devil Anse” will be erected in the Hatfield family plot in Logan county, where the remains of the feudal leader are buried.

The concluding number, Moskow- ski’s “Valse PErilliante,” played by Mrs. Riggs, Mrs. Budge, Mrs. John- son and Mrs. -Nix;, was one. of the most enjoyable nwmbers of the after- noon. . - The insurance adjusters, who were called here on account of the fire in ~the J., Vickerg’ block: Monday even- ing, completed :their. work.: Friday, and Abe Grossman of the Hub Cloth- ing company has’' a force of A men working today, hauling out his stock, which is ‘still ‘saleable,’ t¢/ the | new Nangle - building which he will “use temporarily. , ’ Mr. Grossman states that a satis- factory. adjustement of his Joss has been made, there being about $9,000 worth of merchandise which was only touched by smoke and * water and which will be offered fo.the public as soon as the stock can be arranged in the new quarters.

The work of making arrangements with talent, printers, and summer employees, is enormous and for the past six months experts in this work have been busy with these details, it is announced from the main office. The routing of the talent from one city to another is a department which requires almost endless study and at- tention. The securing of talent, the framing of the advertising canipaign, the care of the equipment and many other tasks are handled by experts whose sole duty is to furnish the towns on the circuit the best service and talent at minimum cost. The Vawter office states that about 20 or 30 days before the open- ing date here their advance agent will visit Bemidji to outline some new policies that will affect the local community most favorably.

Other o e sc ICANADIANDAY Political Campaigns This Year Promise to Be Interesting for Pennsylvania By DALE VAN EVERY (United Press Staff Correspondent) Harrisburg, Pa., April 8 (United Press)—The political campaign in Pennsylvania this year promises to be the most interesting in many years. With an amazing rapidity, the strae- gic positions of the two great parties have been reversed. Instead of an N. |highly organized Republican party, scornfully ignoring a weak and divid- ed Democratic minority, this campaign finds @ united Democratic party de- termined to take advantage of Re- publican lack of leadership. The death of 'Vois Penrose threw into disarray the well oiled Republi- can machine in Pennsylvania. In the place of the overtowering figure who controlled the destinies of the party, there are now a score of big and little bosses wha have as yet failed to get together. The Republicans are going into the primaries with a multiplicity of elbowing candidates, attacking one another with ammuni- tion usually used against Democrat- is oppenents. On the other hand, the Democrats, usually divided into bitterly warring factions as a result of a harmony con- ference, have arranged a ' complete state ticket which has the declared support of all wings of the party and will therefore need to waste no effort in pre-primary intra-party bickering. At the clection next November the voters of Pennsylvania will elect two United States Senators (the Success- ors to Knox and Penrose), congress- men and a complete state ticket. Sit- ting in the Senate now the Republi- cans have George Wharton Pepper in the se:l: of Penrose and William E. Crow in the seat of Knox. It is evi- dence of Republican lack of unity that no decision has yet been reached concerning how the two senatorships may be preserved from Democratic clutches. Crow has been sick in a hospital for months, but persistently refuses to (Couvtlnued on Page 3) DAUGHTERS OF REBEKAH NEXT MONDAY NIGHT The Daughters hold their regular meeting Monday evening at 8 o’clock in the Moose hall and all members are urged to be present.

K. Newcombe of Winnipeg Gives Stirring Address on Friendly Relations MAKES PLEA THAT WAR BE STOPPED FOREVER Judge C. W. Stanton, in Behalf of Local Club Gives Few ‘Appropriate Remarks Canadian day was observed: by the Bemidji Kiwanis club at its reg- ular meeting held at the Elke club rooms Friday noon, with Major C. K.‘ Newcombe of Winnipeg as the principal speaker. During this past week, 700 Kiwanis clubs of the Uni- ted States and Canada exchanged speaker, for the purpose of cement- ing friendly relations between the clubs of these two great countries. The Friday session of the Bemidji club was the best attended of any meeting held since thg formation of the club and much interest was shown in perpetuating the friendly relations between these two coun- tries. . Before the luncheon period the entire club poined in singingl “O Canada.” Charles Van entertained during the luncheon with a number of popular songs in his usual pleas- ing manner, Mrs. Van assisting at the piano. Following the introduc- tion of a number of guests of the club, Major Newcombe was intro- duced by President D. F. McCann. 'Mujm‘ Newcombe, a typical ‘Cana- dian, representing the Kiwanis clubs of Winnipeg, gave a very interesting address which tends to show the es- teem in which the Canadians hold the American. “We are ncighbors, liv- ing side by side,” he declared,” and I think we have been good neighbors. The history of mankind offers no par- allel to our far-flung miles of unfor- tified frontier, a frontier which for more than 100 years has never been trossed by either nation with design to do any unfriendly act.” This in itself was the keynote of his address. “In these later days we have been knit together closer than ever before, by that strongest of all ties-the bond of common sacrifice,” he added later in his aCjress” Let me take you back in mémory to an autumn day just three years past. In Flanders ficlds and on the plains of Picardy the poppies had budded, bloomed and died.
