masculine ideas of a royal banquet. .
The soheol orchestra furnished two
entertaining numbers for the Commu

overflowed with business, but the im
portant event was tne occasion of nom

for their favored candidates, declaring
their merits and requesting the stu

was positive. That the success of Any

the boys' and girls' glee clubs present
ed Miss Gore with a fitting gift during

contracted by one child from another
or from an adult. ;
The first symptoms may appear at
any time, from a few hours to a week
or even . longer after exposure. The
first symptoms may be irritability,
which sometimes takes place several
days before the acute symptoms begin.
Then the disease may begin very sud-
dently. There may be a high fever
with very little cold In the head. The
child appears verr iU. If -the baby is
old enough he may complain of aching
pains all over his body. The fever may
only last day or two, then subside.

should be controlled by frequent sponge

cough is severe, steam inhalations and
applications of mustard paste to the
