New Kind of Fever. | co In the goat-raising territory of the | country, in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, a new kind of fever is en- demic. 1t is called undulant fever. In other parts of the world this same dis- ease bears other names, such as Malta fever, Mediterranean fever, Gibraltar fever, fever—all goat-raising countries, you will notice—and even in “Tex: it “is sometimes called “dust 2 i The name undulant fever best de- soribes it, for in a typical case there is 2 mild run of fever for perhaps two weeks, then a remission of two or three days without fever, then another run of fever. The mnez? is hkelly 'A‘ihb!flm:s!:;l:el; for typhoid fever, when the firs occllrypln a community, but the Widal blood test remains negative and the characteristic periods of remission in undulant fever are against the diagnosis of typhoid. Again it is sometimes mistaken for in- fluenza or “grippe,” becausé of the head- | ache, sleeplessness, sweating and pros-. tration. Undulant fever in the average case runs for three or four months. A cul- ture taken from the patient’s blood when the fever is up will sometimes, not always, show the presence of the causa- tive germ, called Brucella. Patholo- gists are tryinz to develop a specific blood test similar to the Widal test for typhoid, but they have not yet suc- ceeded. Not all cases of undulant fever result from infection in goat's milk. Cases re- ported in many parts of the Northern States in the last year seem to result from infection carried in cow’s milk. Hogs are known to harbor the Brucella type of germ and in at least one case infection was evidently from handling pork in a slaughter house. Cattie are probably infected by hogs. A germ of the Brucella type is recog- nized as the cause of contagious abor- tion in cattle. Whether this same germ is the one responsible for undulant fever in man is still uncertain. It is premature to assume that un- dulant fever is spread in raw milk from Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. Don't neglect the smokers in your family, for by doing so you detract from the charm of your home. The comfort of «the tired business man should be carefully looked after in his leisure hours. In the illustration are three types of smoking stands, any one of which would be attractive in living room, sun room or library. The one at the upper left is prac- tical, because it has a small amount of cupboard space, enough for the storage of pipes, tobacco, etc., and below there s a trough for books. The top is large | enough to hold a lamp for reading and cn ash 'n{inmteh box, etc. ‘The smoking stand at the upper right has less space, but is handy to, carry about when one is moving from room to room. The handle provides a good “hold,” and below is a rack for maga- zines and newspapers.

Children seem to be relatively im- mune to undulant fever though some- times a child under 6 years of age does have it. Until our knowledge of this new kind of fever becomes sufficient to warrant definite recommendations for preven- tion, it is good sense to practice pas- teurization of milk in any community where undulant fever has been recog- nized or where the cattle are known to have contagious abortion. But all other food g at| then y known he food. 1In 63 cases of undulant fever in Day- ton, Ohio, it was found that practically every one of the patients had been a consumer of raw milk or unpasteur- ized dairy products. But that has no great significance unless we know how many other consumers of the same raw or unpasteurized foods did not have the fever. (Copyrisht. 1930.)

Yes, she needs a close-up of just that sort. Sometimes it seems as though we knew no more about our own hearts than to decide upon our favorite color or brand of perfume. What we really desire and whom we really prefer are hidcden from us. We have a poor pic- ture of the heart which is supposed to do_the choosing. If you look into your heart,:you may find that it bears the l.mlfi of some boy friend who is all right a way, but who should not absorb so much of your heart’s attention.

Every now and then the findings of science generate a host of fears in the minds of those who lack knowledge of science. They get excited, they see vi- sions, they dream about horrible things just about to happen. The first real scientific scarecrow was incubated by Charles Darwin, who saw what every one can see, namely, some striking physical resemblances between man and the monkeys. Then visions began to generate in the minds of the unscientific. They began to wonder if they were not in some way related to the monkeys. Horrible thought! Of course, they never thought of going to Darwin himself. They were content to listen to what some one said Darwin said. Then the physicists hatched another nest of scarecrows. They began to talk about universal energy, and the amount of it that is possibly contained in one little atom of matter. When this theory, which is perfectly legitimate for scien- tific reasoning. got all its feathers the unsclentific began to wonder what would happen if some long-bearded scientist should take it into his head to release some of this energy. A grain of sand would blow up the universe! Next in order was a group of men who discovered that we were in theory just as old as our glands and arteries. They found that diet and exercise, if properly controlled, would enable men to live longer. Again the unscientific began to say that we might reasonably ex‘)?:c to live 150 years. This could %n ‘mnn overpopulation and starva- ion ‘When the “late disturbance” in Eu- Tope was over the unscientific began to look back upon the devastation on the Marne and on the fields of Flanders.

During the admin tion of President Plerce a proposal to annex Cuba be- came the all-absorbing subject of dis- cussion in the United States, and nat- urally in European chancelleries. President Plerce appointed Pierre Soule American Minister to Spain. Mr. Soule while a member of Congress had supported Cuban annexation. When he passed through France on his way to| Spain he was subjected to annoyance | and slight from the government of Napoleon III. He had scarcely arrived in Madrid before this treatment was renewed through the French embassy. Mr. Soule speedily found a way to end the unpleasantness. The French Minister, Marquis de ‘Turgot, gave a ball at his palace. Cus- tom necessitated that the American Minister and his family be invited. When_they arrived, the marquis, with the Duke of Alva and others, was standing at the entrance to the ball room. The Soules paid their compliments to their host an on. One of De ‘Turgot’s friends, looking after them, d: “That Mme. Soule is a beautiful | woman. And how richly she is attired.” | The French Minister answered haughtily: “Do you think so? Well, I do not share your admiration of this woman. She strongly reminds me of Margaret of Burgundy.” This remark was carried to Soule. If De Turgot had expected the Ameri- can to do nothing, he was mistaken. (' In no time he felt a nudge in his side and turned to look into the angry eyes of Soule. “You shall answer to me for your indecent remarks,” said the Minister. “You shall hear from me tomorrow.” Overnight it was whispered about that the Duke of Alva, not the French Minister, had spoken disparagingly of Mrs. Soule. Perhaps De Turgot's cour- age had diminished. At any rate, the duke was one of the best swordsmen in Spain.

Children ought to be taught to keep their mouths closed while in the open air. Many a cold has started on its devastating course because & child raced into the coid air with wide open mouth. Drawing the breath through the nose warms it, the tiny hairs inside the nose strain out the dust. Noses were meant for breathing. Mouths were in- tended to be closed unless it was time to talk or eat or laugh out loud. ‘Tonslls are sensitive things and need all the care they get. A draught’of cold alr loaded with dust is not quite the way to care for them. Teeth are sensitive to cold and a blast of icy air sets them singing unhappily. A child is much more comfortable with his mouth closed when playing in the Winter air. Mouths do not get enough attention. Children ought to know that it is better to wipe their mouths dry before going into the cold air. If it is very cold out- doors a trace of cold cream wiped on the lips will keep them from cracking. Licking the lips while playing in the frosty air brings on the chapped condi- tion that is so painful and so fruitful of infection. ‘Washing the inside of the mouth does a great deal to preserve its health. Teeth that are well brushed every morning, rinsed after each meal, will not be so likely to show decay. Clean teeth, all cavities filled, are a positive help to health. Keeping the mouth clean, closed Winter is hard on children’s noses. There is so little time to wipe noses, what with lessons and play and ru about that the u];oor things are sadly neglected.

Children come to school with upper lips scoured raw because they wipe downward, including the upper lip in a generous downward sweep of the stiff handkerchief. The lips need no wiping.

Dear Miss Leeds: Some weeks ago | you printed in your beauty column ex- | ercises_ which help prevent constipa- | tion. I mislaid that article. Will you please be so kind as to t them again, and oblige a daily reader? . Answer.—As so many have asked me the same question, I am glad to repeat as many of the exercises as space will permit. Any exercises which bring the abdominal muscles into play are effec- tive for overcoming constipation, and these should be taken daily. Leg and trunk raising in a recumbent position are excellent. Use these: (1) Lie down on your back and raise and lower both legs together, knees held stiff. (2) Lie on right side. Raise left knee to chest, then thrust that leg out and upward in a sideways direction. Repeat with left leg. (3) Lie down on your back. Double up your knees on your chest. Keeping your feet together, shoot your legs out sideways. knees straight, then side and back to bent position. Rotate your legs in.this way 10 times to each side. Rest a minute or two, then rotate the legs forward alternately as though riding & bicycle. ‘You will also find that colon massage is helpful. "It consists of a creeping ‘massage movement with the finger tips on the left side of nbdoln‘:,e& downward. Exercises to Reduce and Gain. Dear Miss Leeds: It seems that there must be something wrong with me, for 10,000,000 authorities can't be wrong. Pirst of all, don’t you believe that exer- cise will bulld up a thin person and reduce a stout one? Well, here's my tale of woe: I am 20 years old, weigh 121 pounds, and am about 62} inches tall. My hips are broad and my legs are heavy, and by the casual observer I suppose I would be called plump and short. Now, I exercise more than the average business girl. I go to the “¥” twice a week, where I go t! h nearly an hour of exercising—a half hour of basket ball and usually take a swim afterward. Then on Tuesday and Pri- day afternoons I play hockey. Now and then my program varies. Sometimes I play hockey only once a week or go swimming less or oftener than twice a week. In the Winter I ice-skate about one night a week. I might also add that I ride horseback about twice a year. Tell me, Miss Leeds, is there anything more I could do to Naturally, I don't diet in any way. I am a healthy young woman, with a healthy appetite, but nevertheless I don't eat any more than my system requires (at least that's my idea). I haven't followed this gymnasium program for any length of time (about two months or less, I presume), but the amazing thing to me is that I'm gain- ing weight. I used to weigh 117 or thereabouts, and L've gained almost 5 egs are just as unattractive. How long must I keep going along before I notice any results? Do you see the flaw in my program that I fail to find? 1Is there something I should be doing that I do not? 1t’s not my trouble only—a friend of ONI: of the most adept men in the Senate at chiding, although less generally known than some of the others, is the tall, solemn, always grave Sam Shortridge of California. Most -of the time Shortridge is pain- fully dignified. But on those rare oc- casions - when - he steps out of char- of his colleagues, there are few able to do the job more effectively. Just before the Senate adiourned for the holidays was one of these occasions and Brookhart of Iowa was the target. Brookhart, who had been the success of co- operative systems abroad as compared with those in this coun- try, was questioned by Shortridge as to why people of those countries were praying to come to America if they have been so successful and we such failures. Brookhart replied that it was for the same reason Shortridge left Iowa and went to California. “Things got too thick for him in Towa, and he had to go out where there was more territory.” “Oh, mno,” said Shortri “‘every- body wants to go to 'California, and the desire of Hawkeyes to locate in the Golden State has almost daow- lated Towa.” “Jowans are coming back to Iowa now,” Brookhart shot back, “bBecause they can't get enough to live on any longer in California.” Shortridge’s reply was softly per- suasive “If Hawkeyes are returning to Zowa, it is because they have made money | enough to return, pay off their mort- | geges and live happily ever after.” ‘They would have ki this up in- definitely had not Walsh of Massachu- swing them pendulum fashion to the in a nice figure? | ds.

Surely we couldn’t be classed with the thin girls who are supposed to put on weight by the same method which stout ones use for reducing. It has proved quite an enigma to both my friend and me, and we are going to let you figure it out for us if you will be so kind. Thanks a lot for anything you may say on the subject. | GLORIA. | Answer.—I decided to publish your | entire letter, Gloria, because your prob- lem is not so unusual as you think, and there are many others who have had the same experience. I think your ex- ercise program is splendid, and hope both you and your friend will keep it up. I am afraid you are expecting a magical change in your figure a little too soon. You say you have been fol- lowing this program for less than two months, and you could hardly expect a m{louoenble change in that length of e. In regard to your weight, I am glad to inform you that the weight of 121 pounds is exactly correct for you, so certainly there is no cause for worry on that score. Your former weight was too little for you, so you see you perhaps did belong in the class of those who were supposed to put on weight after all. There is little danger of your becoming overweight when you are following such a rigid program of exercise. Of course, you must watch that healthy appetite, for many a woman who has tried to lose weight by reducing has become so hungry in the process that she ate and ate and gained steadily. I doubt, however, if you have gained in flesh; your extra weight likely results from the fact that the exercise has hardened the muscles somewhat and they have become heav- ler. Keep right on with your intereét- ing and helpful program and I feel quite sure that the shapely legs and firm, slender hips which you want to have will gradually be achieved. Swim- ming is especially good for this pur- Remember, fi dear, that your is correct, and please do not ing that radiant beauty and vibrant health of yours by any foolish reducing fad or an inadequate diet.
