Adele Garrison’s New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE Madge Idstens to a Hary Explan- ation of Dicky's Business Affairs. That Dicky necded only the| slightest excuse to work himselt up into a rage, I realized as he male Ils wrathy answer to my statement | that all I knew of his difficulties was what his letter to his mother had told me. T telt suddenly weary of the whole situation, 80 tired that I wish- 1 above all things to avold any- e cl es. He had sald he was on the first train in the morn- | and I found myself suldenly | ad of the fact, devold of any wor- ry concerning his lack of sleep, | anxious only to terminate this inter- | view with him and get away from | : | room. Therefore to his impa- tient query, “Will you or wiil you not listen to what I have to say?" ! returned a meek, “I am listen- ing,” and . forebore any further speech, “I'm not: going to enter into any long explanations now,” Dicky sald, “Sometime, it you're interested, which T doubt, I'l! te!l you all about | It, but for the present let it suffice to say that awhile ago I got into a scheme which looked as if it were | going to turn up many good-sizel | nuggets, 1 invested heavily, and Lil | put in what she had, too. I dldn't urge her to do it, but there were reasons why she wanted to invest in something that looked good. I didn't realize that she scraped every penny ehe cofl1 gather and put it in, or 1'd have stopped her, becauss of course she wouldn't have gone into the thing if I hadn't. But you can magine how I felt when I found out what she was up egainst. I've stay out here at the farm with you while Lil s getting her strength back. It will also account for the fact that I shall be able to send you very littls for a few months, But I shall not be out here at all. I'm go- ing to camp at the stullo, work like the old boy himself, and see this thing through.” Katle Betrays Herself He paused for breath and I caught mine In bewilderment at his story, He had ellded so much that T was in a haze as to everything ex- cept three things. Lilllan no longer faced her terrible spector of inabill- ty to work and no income; Dicky would not be home for a long time, and he would be unable to send me but very little money for the up- keep of the hous “Can you tell me what you mean by very little T asked, my practi- cal nature taking the upper hand. “1 ought to know just what I have to depend on, In my absorption in story, T had forgotten that this was the one question calculated to goad Dicky to unreasoning fury. He has no con- ception of managing money and his method of giving me a household allowance is to dump into my lap whatever checks come to him which he dees not spend in some purely personal way, and let me take cara of them. But in the last few months the checks have been not smaller— Dickey gets splendid prices for his work, but decidedly fewer, and I have been able to put nothing into the savings bank after our running expenses are pald.

CUMMING) Surgeon General, United Btates Public Health Service Erysipelas is an acute contagions | disease, an inflammation of the skin, caused by an organism known as & | streptococcus. Under certain condl- | tions erysipelas has approached epi- | demic proportions, It is somewhat | contagious particularly it those ez | posed have slight wounds or are un. dergoing surgical operations When erysipelas 1s mild in char- acter there is usually rednees of the skin. The skin will also feel some- what hard and thickened. This red- ness, though at first limited to a small area-about the woundggends to spread and affect the sound skin near by until sometimes an entire | imb or a large area of the body may become involved. There s usually considerable pain, coupled with much heat and tingling in the part of the body | affected, As the discase advances | that portion of the skin which | first attacked becomes less inflam- | ed, takes on a yellowish appearance | and finally the outer ekin flakes off. The inflammation in general gradu- | ally disappears. Sometimes it breaks out ‘agaim and it has been known to pass over the original area the second time, | Tt frequently happens that the sub- | cutacnous tissues become’ extensive. |1y invelved in the inflammation and | pus is formed. ‘ Occaslonally gangrene develops in the affected parts. Other eomplica~ | tions are not unusual and when | these occur they may affect. the surface of the body and some- [times the serous membranes and | the pleura, and result in pleurisy, | particularly if the tissues of the | throat are involved. | .o F.rulpegs usually beging with e ¢hill followed by 2 high fever. It may be a ecomplication of wounds I but it is more frequently developed without any @pparent injury., A large mafjority of the cases begin |on the face, usually on the nose, first as a small red spot which is soon elevated above the surround- ing skin and gradually or rapidly spreads over the face and ears and sometimes over the entire scalp. The neck and chest and parts of the back and other parts of the | body are occasionally invelved, *The skin becomes red, hot, painful and swollen and blisters may form. The swelling often is most marked about the eyes and ears, 1t frequently happens that the |eves become closed and the pa- | tient's features so changed and dis- | torted that the appearance once seen will not soon be forgotten. | If erysipelas i limited to the face and scalp it usually rung its course in a few days or weeks, but some- times before the face is healed oth- er parts of the body may become involved and the case may be pro- longed. Abscesses beneath the skin are not uncommon. Besides theee ‘mptoms there {s often times head- |ache, loss of appetite, eoated tongue, frequent vomiting and in some | cases delirlum and marked deprea- sion. | s | Although, in general, the outcoms of erysipelas is favorable, serious iavnd occasionally fatal results fol- |low from inflammation of the mem- brane of the brain and in some rare | instances sudden death has occurred | from suffocation. In persons weak- | ened trom previous diseases, erysipe- las may result fatally. One attack of 'this disease does not protect the individual from a re- curring attack. A very fatal form of erysipelas sometimes attacks new- | born babies, particularly in the first | four weeks of their lives, Erysipelas is only slightly conta- ous under ordinary circumstances, but persons suftering from wounds | or scratehes in the ekin are very | likely to be attacked. The patlent ghould, therefore, be isolated, place |ed in a room by himself, and his attendant should be a healthy pers |son free from any skin injury. Wounds should be carefully dressed | with antiseptic solutions to prevent he development of the disease. | Ervsipelas rune its course usually {in from eight to fourteen days and isnmf!!mrs in much less time and in | most instances tends to g favorable | termination. Beyond attention to the | condition of the stomach and | bowels, which may require the use | of a gentie laxative Nttle is given in | the way of medicine internally. The diet should be light and { sheuld consist of milk, broths and | puddings. 1f the temperature rises above 103 degrees Fahrenheit the | patient should be given a cold dath, The chief point to remember in the treatment of erysipelas is ghat - an abundance of nourishment should be a Inistered in a light and digest- ible form. The may be frequently | washed with a four per cent solu- |tion of beracic acid, that is four parts of boracic acld to one hus- dred parts of ‘water. Very mild cases may be treated with cloths wet with boracie acid which are placed |upon the skin or by other mild measures, Tt is always well te call l‘ physician in any case of erysipe- as. . eyes e A SSESS SO SN g " ¢ XN o » L S L4 B f ] (e 2] 4 [ } A ! \; ] B
