Cumming, surge onffeneral of the United States, on Oct. 2, issued an appeal to mothers in the country to aid in preventing the spread of contageous diseases in school?. With the school season now open, Dr. Cumming said it is often a problem of parents to determine whether or not a child is well enough to go to school. He named ten certain symp£ trims that should automatically decide the question. 1, Fever; 2, sore throat; 3, diarrhea; 4, severe abdominal pain; 5, earache; 6, discharging ear; 7, discharging sore «ye; 8, paroxysmal cough, especially if coughing spells are followed by vomiting and always if followed by whoop;; 9, severe cold, even when fever is not present; 10, the presence of eruption, not due to scratches, hard soaps, to some simple condition or in older children acne. Acne is very often the penalty of not too clean face or body and it is always granted that it is a little difficult to induce a youngster always to keep himself clean. "Theoretically, in order to be permitted to attend school, a child should l>e perfectly well,"-Dr. Cummings says. ""No child can study to advantage if ill." All of the symptoms which have been given are easily recognized. It is necessary, of course, that the parent should learn to take temperature and learn to count the pulse. Among the individual precautions that the parents can take to prevent a child from contracting certain contagious diseases are vaccination against smallpox and immunization against diphtheria. JSoth of these should be done long before the child is old enough to go to school. Immunization against scarlet fever, while perhaps not entirely beyond the experimental stage, is harmless and may also be carried out if desired. Dr. Cummings said children should be taught there are "£en objects which person to another, these are nothing more or less than ten fingers. For example, a child has a cold which, while not recognized as such, is the beginning of an attack of measles. He feels lively enough Ax> play, handles a ball or other ob^ct, gets on it a small quantity of the secretion from his own nose or mouth through the medium of fingers and passes the object along to another, child. Of course, there are other ways in which these secretions can be exchanged, such as common drinking cups and improperly constructed drinking fountains. Dr. Cummings said that practically all contagious diseases are harder on younger children than older ones, especially whooping cough and measles and the death rate from these two contagions is very high iff young children.

Absent Voters County Clery Still also called attention to the situation involving absent voters, declaring that application for a ballot must be made to the county clerk's office in Woodstock not more than 30 days or less than five proceeding'the election, Nov. 6. Some cohfusion arises because registration days are not the same in all parts of Illinois. This is due to the fact tnat in a group of cities where boards of election commissions exitt and have charge of the election machinery the; dr.t:s pre different. DIVORCES INCREASE, MARRIAGES DECREASE Department of Commerce Report, However, Shows McHenry County Had Increase In Marriages Divorces are on the increase In Illinois and marriages are on the decrease, according to figures just r leased by the United States Depart*: ment of Commerce. The lists show that in 1927 tberf were only 80,222 marriages in thlt state, as compared with 82,529 i% 1926. That makes decrease of 2,307, or 2.8 per cent. In 1927 Illinois split up 14,984: homes by divorce, as compared' with the 14,125 in 1926. That shows an increase of 869, or 6.1 per cent. And just to make the entire outlook pretty bad for the real estate people who capitalize on selling homes to married couples, there were 216 marriages annulled in 1927, as against only 204 in 192>6. Getting closer to home, the same thjng^holds true. Cook County handed Dan Cupid a couple of stinging wallops by showing 28,823 marriages for 1927, as against the total of 40,316 in 1926. That is a decrease of 1,493 or 3.6 per cent. > ^ As to the divorce situation--ther$ isn't any consolation for the minister# there, even. There were 8,810 divorces in Cook County in 1927, as against the 8,365 in 1926. That is an increase of 445, or 5^5 per cent. And this decrease of marriages In Cook County and Illinois was carried on in spite of an estimated increase of population amounting to 93,000 souls in the state. The main thing that is to be gleaned from the Above figures seems to be: Not so many people want to get married and the ones that are married are a little more anxious than here* tofore to call all bets off. i The report shows that in McHenry county in 1926 there were 343 marriages and in 1927 there were 400. Divorces in 1926 numbered 23 and in 1927 one more or 24. In 1926 on# annulment was granted and in 192T four are reported. ed witK Alvenia Schumacher Monday evening.
