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

There aro usually a high fever and
a sore throat followed by llttlo red
points on the nock or chest. If those

to keep the child away from others

General Nakamura hoped to meet
Generals Mural and Yoda in the
neighborhood of Sanhsin, after crush
