FEVER IX CIULDREM; ,
' .In Infants and young children tem
perature is likely to rise on the least
provocation.'
Frequently, the mother is at a loss
to. know wliat to do, . , .
It is neither possible nor practical
to send for the doctor every , time
baby runs a little temperature.
Then, again, fever is so frequently
the first Sign of trouble.
, A complicating fact is that -while
a jrise .iu temperature is a frequent
early sign; of . trouble,, a number of
diseases set in without any ap;
preciable , fever,. V
. If the parent is to use a clinical
thermometer, Bho , mjusti appreciate
Its limitations as well as its values.
:-When a child appears HI, let her
not -conclude that it cannot be any
thing serious because the child runs
no temperature,; v;
Abnormal .appearance or. behavior
with or without fever calls for medi
cal attention. ' . . ; ui:. :
t-Ono must know the. child fully to
appreciate, the thermometer readings-..-:
-v ;"-:'- .
.Some children will get a tempera
ture of 101 degrees with a simple
constipation, while others . will , not
reach above this temperature even
in the case of a severe cold, :
, Tho physician who has had an op
portunity to study a child soon will
learn the easo or frequency with
which It Is inclined to get up a
fever, r
Careful observation will at times
reveal a dietary factor as the.prln
clpal cause of fever in young chil
dren. Over-Indulgence In sweets and la
starchy foods leads to an "upset" .of
digestion and to fever. The treat
ment Is self-evident. .
Whllo -one should not become
alarmed by a slight rise of tempera
ture, say, to 101 degrees per rectum,
In children who are prone to tem
perature, it is wisest not to neglect
higher temperatures, ..nor fever in
children whose temperature Is 'usu
ally even."- i .
In all circumstances It Is 'best to
confine the feverish, child to bed
white the temperature Is up.

( WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 (IP) A
type of farm relief never heard of
beforor-direct f inanclng . of crops . for

department of agriculture under the

cause, they had not the. physical prop
erty .to, guarantee repayment, ,
. There., is only, :one -requirement
the farmer so assisted, shall give the
government a first Hen on the crop
to be planted. He will not need to
go to a local credit association to
get his money or do any of the usual
dozen or more things required of the
farm borrower who has suffleient ca
pacity to borrow througli tho usual
credit channels. c ; -:i,:v ;. av.
i His Joan will .come directly from
tho, department of . agriculture , to , his
own hands and. when his orop is sold,
the government will take bock the
amount of the loan from the first
money received. '
The fund will be administered
somewhat on ..the. principle .. of ...the
seed, feed and fertilizer appropria
tions for drought and storm swept
regions.
i, Senator Smith sees in It the even

question of financing, their self-help
or allowing them to become a burden
on society through, no fault of their

Farm leaders in Washington have
expressed the hope and some the be

tho fund will become permanent in

...Well as Trueman Rook knew that
country It was his fortune to be
taken by the Preston boys to high
hunting-grounds which he had never,
visited. "
It was up in the mountains back
of tha Pass, about a day's climb on
horseback..: ;, : . ,
In. the morning Rock was .awak-
onad by,. the, gobbling,, ot . turkeys,. .
Rock crawled dut,.revolver In band. ,
and soon espied the big birds at the '
edge of the grove. A gobbler stood
up straight, head high. Rock's hand '
moved and stiffened, his gun
boomed, the turkey fell. Securing;
his gobbler. Rock walked Into camp 'i.
and laid It bofore tho rousod Pres- -

to be alone, for In the past weeks

Al Preston left to go down home

a fever of uncertainty. What news
