Cast adrift in an unfriendly
world the children of Father
Abraham are humanity’s sorri

people of Earth, the Jew has
acquired more wealth than all
others and made some of the
greatest contributions to scien

The accident of race and col

prejudices. Unhappy Palestine,
the ancestral hom° of the He
brew, given to them by the
Creator of all lands more than
3.500 years back in the misty
past.
When mocking priest and
frenzied rabble stood before
Pilate and cried out, “His blood
be upon us autl upon our child
ren!” the shadow was cast
across the centuries for the
Jew, while his blood-brother
from the Arabian desert has fed
on goats and grown great.
Human emotions are univer
sal, fundamental, and out of
the harshness of the ages there
focuses on the Jew his hardest
hour and yet within him throbs
the universal heartbeat. Per

SCARLET FEVER
Scarlet fever, a contagious dis
ease, is most common among
children less than 10-years-old.
But older children and adults
may also “catch it.” No one
should be needlessly exposed to
this disease which may have very
serious and dangerous complica
tions. These hints were passed
on this week by Dr. W. S. Petty,
recently reappointed director of
the Nebraska department of
health.
Scarlet fever is caused by
germs belonging to the strepto
coccus family. These germs which
cause scarlet fever are of several
different types. The type we see
most often is the one which pro
auces a origin iea ra&u. wi y^^
pie do have scarlet fever without
having the rash. This is because
they happen to be immune to the
toxin which proudces the rash^
However, scarlet fever without
the rash is just as contagious as
the other form. It can even be
more easily spread because it is
not recognized.
‘‘If someone in your family has
a sore throat or an acute cold fol
lowing exposure to scarlet fever,
call your doctor. It may be scar
let fever even though the ordin
ary signs do not appear,” Dr.
Petty says.
