You may find yourself married before you know it, IMMUNIZATIONS © WE'D like to believe that all evil is on the way out. Ina sense it ig. On the other hand, the general evolution of things is constantly bringing into view new evils or new aspects of evil, that we had not formerly recognized. So, constent vigilance and continuous effort are required to keep us relatively up to.date. These general obser- vations apply to the health situation as neatly as though they were made for it. hature itseif seems interested and persistant in "pur- ging” those less fit, but its methods, while admittedly effective, aré erude end expensive. CONSIDER G)ALL POX. Nature will give you almost a life time immunity Oy having it once, but at a cost in lives, up to forty percent of these so inmunized, of painful illness of eround three days for each immuno, and an everage loss of time--fourteen to twenty days. You ean dDpy a satisfactory immunity in any doctor's office for a dollar or two and a negligible illness of a day or two. This man made pre- tection does not lest so long as the other and should be renewed avery rew years, Why dontt you do it? THINK OF DIPTHERIA, It was formerly the great killer of children, Lawrence once had an epidemic of around two-hundred cases in a Quarter ofa year or so and many children died. Under better methods of treatment as now attainéd, more would survive, but under the present day prectice of immunizing, practically no one ever gets ill with it. Your physician will probably charge you around five dollars for such immunizing end you should begin it when baby is about a half year old. TYPHOID FEVER and the pseretyphoids should be rientione-. Formerly called “traveler's disease", it wae the scourge of adolescents end young adults. £8 soon as one beea me old enough to move a little out of his home he was sure to be exposed to it. Sometimes it was brought to him at home. It usually killed more soldiers than the enemy did. All differant now. Improved sanitation helps amazingly, but the bacterial vaccination is probably the mest important factor in the improvement, It is usually done in three doses, has a high efficeincy for four or five years, and should be repeated about that often or a "booster" dose may be fiven each year, IF THE SICK would sequester themselves a little and the well would stey away from thom whon they could as woil as not, wo would develope a sort of community lcssconing of discasc thet would make a nice show- ing in both morbidity end mortality. roports. A, CHILD SUFFERS AND RECOVERS - PARTIALLY A friendly but lonesome little girl was liiking on as her school- mates were rocoiving immunization treatments. Her parents had not consented to any troatments for hor. She wes hurt, depressed and chagrined because her paronts sesmed less interested and less inform- ed than other paronts. Sho was near tears, when her face suddenly brightened with a comforting momory,-she said "My daddy vaccinates — his pigs". PNEUMONIA vs TUBERCULOSIS NOT so long ago pneumonis was the most consistently fatal of all the commoncr diseases. It killed about one in five of all roported or recognized cases. With more practical knowledge of it and improved methods of combatting it, the mortality is now around one in twenty- five, It is still a serious matter but is not the paralyzing scourge it once was, TUBERCULOSIS, in some respects, is more to be feared then pneumonia, The tendency to get well of itself is probably less than in pneumonia, It is definitely more insidious and does not make its presence known for months, maybee years--not until it is well established and is about ready to "take over", Reeovery, when it occurs, requires about rifty times as much time i.e. pneumonia recovers in two or three wecks, but tuberculosis takes two or three years. Pneumonia, rather rarely, passes itself on to other members of the family or to the attendants whereas tuberculosis nearly always does, While pneumonia Olazons its presence from the house top, as it were, tubereulosis skulks aoout in the darker parts of the house and surrepticiously fastens itself on the feebler mombers of the family. Pneumonia is obvious but tuberculosis will be found only by careful scarching, SUCH SEARCHING may be done in any one of several different ways: the history, the clinical: Symptons, and the physical oxaminations are scldom considered before the patient is noticably ill and are, there-— fore, liko "arriving too late with too little", Several tests can bo made with tuberculin, i.e. by putting it in the oye, by putting it on the skin (several different methods) or by putting it in the Skir. Many quelified men belicve the X-Ray examination is the most vractical of all methods for the early finding of tuberculosis.

NEW YORK « TELEPHONE: LEXINGTON 2-3700 March 17, 1944 ir. F.C. Allen, Director of Athletics, Kansas University, Lawrence, Kansas Dedr Mr. Allen: For several years we have been offering our friends a colorful chart showing the trend of business over a 100-year period. A new chart has been prepared for 1944 which traces post war trends from 1775 to date. I+ shows the periods of uncertainty, recovery, primary depression and prosperity following each war. The 1944 chart also indicates the trend of the Federal Debt, the National Income, Business Activity, Stocks and Bonds, and Cost of Living over the same period. Because of the widespread interest in post war planning, we believe this new chart will prove of interest in studying the history of business before, during and after other wars, What shapes the peaks and valleys will take in the months following the present war cannot be forecast with certainty but the chart will show what took place in previous years. If you would like to have a copy of this chart just mail the enclosed reply card and one will be mailed to you promptly.

The volatile Allen, whose Kansas Uni- versity quintets dominate the Big Six Con- ference, almost any year, said he’d even turn promoter if it would get the East teams into’ his bailiwick, He’s made tentative arrangements with the director of the Kansas City -Municipal Auditorium and he’s all ready to play in St. Louis and Chicago, too, he said. All he needs is a few eastern outfits to accept his challenge. : ““Kvery year,” he said, ‘‘some of our Pern teams have gone out there and played those ALLEN boys on their own courts and with their own officials and we've beat them repeatedly.
