When all this Is done one can then say one's child Is ready for school, physicians add. Healthy children who are dally In tne open air, have the right kind of food, keep clean and have sleep enough, often resist a contagious dis ease when exposed. The diseases are caused by germs which are usually ln the nose and throat of the sick person and are transferred to a well person by coughing, sneezing or shouting ln his face. Never expose a child to another child who Is 111 with a contagious dlsoase, Is tho warning to parents, since nothing can be gained by hav ing the disease and often there are very bad results. All contagious dis eases should be avoided If possible and care should be taken not to spread them. -- - Diphtheria Dangerous Diphtheria has ln the past killed countless thousands of bright, hap-1 py children. It Is not necessary to allow it to kin another child. It Is said. By a simple test, known as the Snick, test, the doctor can tell wheth er ,a child exposed to diphtheria will take the disease or not. If the test shows that tho child Is susceptible tne; doctor can easily protect it by safe . ana nearly painless treatment. Typhoid fever Is also caused by germs which enter tho body ln water ori'food,; and can be prevented by Inoculation, it is said. Resistance to typhoid fever 1b built up by strict cleanliness. . Scarlet fover Is very contagious and Is easily caught, but not easy to cure. No child has to have It and because one Is 111 from the disease is no reason others should have it. health authorities state. Do not let the 'well children be near the sick child, they say. Adults also are sus ceptible to that type of fever. The heart, kidneys and ears aro of ten seriously affected by Bcarlet fover, There aro usually a high fever and a sore throat followed by llttlo red points on the nock or chest. If those signs appear, parents are admonished to keep the child away from others and get a doctor at once. Tho other members of the family should havo tho Dick test In order to determine susceptibility, authorities say. Those who Bhow rod spots may be Im munized with three or four doses of scarlet fever vaccine. There Is an efficient anti-toxin for the treat ment of scarlot fever and It Is nec essary to take these precautions even ln mild cases, since sometimes the mild cases spread scarlet fever to mountain, remained there for a few hours and returned to Baker. She again stayed at the Hopkins home overnight. The witness then said she went to La Grande, where she stayed at the home of Mr. Hopkins' mother. Later she located in a house on Spruce street in La Grande. Hop- Kins paid the rent on the house, where she lived for less than a month. I Later Mrs. Holden moved to 1136 Grove street ln Baker. ' Tho house, owned by Ward's father, was located next to the house occupied by Ward at the time of the shooting. On re-direct examination District Attorney .Finch began drawing testi mony from Mrs. Holden relative to certain phases of the Holden separa tion. . , Domestic Trouble Aired Allan A. Smith of defense coun sel objected and the court overruled the objection stating that "you went Into this separation yourself." Later the court sustained Smith's objection that "the whys and where fores of this separation are wholly Immaterial ln this case." When asked by the district at- R. H. E. torney why she stayed at the Hop- 4 7 ; 6, kins house "that night," Mrs. Hol 3 .7 2; den said, "I had no place else to go." - t ; "Why didn't you go to the ranch?" Finch asked. "Because Mrs. Hopkins went with Ward," she answered. Mrs. Holden said she,- Hopkins and their children stayed at the Hop kins residence that night. At this Juncture Attorney Smith said, "If the state wants to wash all of the dirty linen ln this' case we can go the limit. ence, that all postal clerks In this vicinity attend the meeting. Lee W.
