II II II FAMILIES IN POLICE COURT BECAUSE AUTO BUMPS A SHED Judge Kleiber Fines Each in Quarrel $5 on Disturbance Charges. Joseph Zayescek of 3407 Dunnica street has an automobile, arid the Geimer family, who live at 3410 Chippewa street, have a coal shed and an alley fence, and there Is trouble between the Zayescek and Geimer families which brought them into the Wyoming Street Police Court Tuesday for a second time. Three weeks ago the Geimers accused Zayescek of backing his auto into their coal shed and back fence, knocking the paint off and otherwise- damaging the same. Judge Kleiber discharged the defendant. Then the Geimers built a barricade of stones to prevent Zayescek backing his machine into their shed.

Friday, when Zayescek drove into the alley, Geimer was looking out of the shed window. They quarreled and Geimer was reinforced by his daughter Kate and Zayescek by his wife. Zayescek and Kate Geimer were haled on cross charges of disturbing the peace. Judge Kleiber fined each of them $5. HOW PARENTS MAY KNOW SCARLET FEVER SYMPTOMS By DR.

M. C. WOOURUt'. the I.onln Health Department. THE first indication of the disease In a child Is irrltatioa of the throat which causes a sharp, dry cough.

In a slrort time after the cough develops there Hi a marked rise in temperature. The patient is feverish and the face is flushed. At this stage the surest way to determine whether the disease is scarlet fever Is to examine the chest. If small red eruptions are found on the skin of the chest it is, in conjunction with the other symptoms, an almost certain sign that scarlet fever exists. No time should be lost in sending for a physician.

In the fourth stage of the disease first the face and then the entire body shows peeling of the t-kin. There is where the danger of contagion comes in. The skin peels from the face and body of the patient in thin, dry flakes which float off into the air in minute particles and spread the disease. Scarlet fever develops very rapidly and reaches its climax In from 24 hours four days. Every precaution should be taken to prevent the patient from catching cold.

I. Miss Myrtle Irene Alderman Appears in Trelawney of the Wells. A St. Louis girl. Miss Myrtle Irene Alderman, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. C. S. Alderman of 5237 McPherson avenue, won plaudits as Tom Wrench in "Trelawney of the Wells," staged by the Cap and Bells Dramatic Society ot Smith College at Northampton, Mass. Mis3 Alderman was chosen by the senior class, of which she is a member as the one best fitted to represent the class in the play.

In playing the part it was necessary for Miss Alderman to appear in trousers. Miss Alderman, who is to graduate in June, has appeared in all the dramatic performances at the college and has made frequent appearances in college and elsewhere as a reader. Permission has been sought by the Boston School of Expression to enroll her for stage but she will not adopt a stage career. She is a graduate of Central High School here and her essay on music at the commencement exercises was given space in a New York musical publication. Cenntin Man Overlooked the Jail.

TIICUSAKDS ROW USE IS R.CIrE FOR CCUGll SYRUP Easily Made at Home. Cost Nothing If It Fails. The speed with which this simple, homo mixture takes hold of a cough and conquers it will surprise you. Tb.3 recipe given below makes more and better cough syrup than you can buy ready-maSe for $2.50. Mix one pint of granulated sugar with i pint of warm water, and stir for 2 minutes.

Put 2 ounces of Pinex (fifty cents' worth) in a pint bottle; then add the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly. Take a teaspoonful every one, two or three hours. This gives almost instant relief, and usually stops a deep-seated cough inside of 24 hours. Pplendid, too, for wheoping cough, chest pains, bronchitis, hoarseness, etc.

The taste is pleasant, and it is just laxtive enough to help cure a cough. Its tonic properties restore the appetite which a cough tends to destroy. Thi recine will not work unless vou use the pure, genuine Pinex, which is the most valuable concentrated compound of Norwegian white pine extract, and contains the necessary quantity of guiaicol and other healing pine tlements. A rriiarnnt.ee nf absolute satisfac tion, or money promptly refunded, goes with this recipe. Your druggist has Pinex or will get it for you.

M. Woodruff Says Extra Force Should Enforce Placarding System. Lack of proper police supervision and co-operation is one of the reasons given by Dr. M. C.

"Woodruff of the Health Department for the spread of the scarlet fever contagion which has menaced the 700 pupils of the Longfellow School, whose homes are in Gratiot, Liuden-wood, Arloe and Clifton Heights, all populous sections of Southwest St. Louis. "If quarantine regulations had been strictly enforced, the disease might have ueen wiped out by this time," said Dr. Woodruff. "There is a penalty of a fine of not less than $5 or more than $100 for any person who breaks a scarlet fever quarantine, and it is the duty ot the police to enforce the law by arresting the offenders.

"In places where scarlet fever i3 endemic, as it is now In the Longfellow School district, there is always some sentiment against enforcement of a quarantine. Men and women and especially children do not want to be made prisoners for the benefit of the remainder of the community, and yet I that is the only way to check the spread of the disease. i "In the Longfellow School district there is only one policeman to two square miles of territory and for this reason tha supervision has been Inadequate." No extra men have been assigned to see that quarantine regulations are enforced." Dr. Woodruff's Health Department records show that 41 cases of scarlet fever have been reported from the district. He believes that other cases which have existed or which now exist have been concealed the authorities through the desire of parents to prevent their homes being placarded.

It is not necessary, he says, that every member of a family in which the fever develops should be kept a prisoner, but the persons in actual attendance on the patients should not be permitted to leave their homes. Any person who enters the room in which a scarlet fever patient is isolated should be restrained from going any place where crowds gather, he says. The Health Department also expects the co-operation of physicians in promptly reporting all scarlet fever cases so that placards may be put up. "In at least one case there has been conflict between a regular practicing physician and a Health Department physician," said Dr. Woodruff.

"Dr. Daly of the Health Department staff suspected that a child who was ill in Gratiot had scarlet fever. He went to the house and found a Dr. Field in charge of the case. "Dr.

Daily asked Dr. Field what diagnosis he had made. Dr. Field's reply was: 'I will not tell you that. Tou are a physician.

Make your own Dr. Daly diagnosed the case as scarlet fever and notified the Board of Education, the result being that a brother of the patient was excluded from furthei1 attendance at the Longfellow School. Said It Was It hetimatlsm. "Dr. Field then insisted that the child had rheumatism and made a vigorous protest against interference by the Health Department physicians.

His statement was accepted and the house was never placarded." Dr. Henry L. Field, who has a-i office at 6S25 Scanlan avenue, said to a Post-Dispatch reporter: "I'was treating a child for rheumatism. When I went to the house to make a professional visit, I "found a young fellow who said he was a Health repartment physician. I got Into the patient's room ahead of him.

The child's mother told him I was in charge of the case. "The young man asked me what was the child's ailment. I refused to tell him, saying that he could make his own diagnosis if he wanted to. I told him to examine the child if he cared to, but he wouldn't. Without going near the child he looked at it from a distance and then went away.

I considered that I was right In refusing to tell him the child's ailment. It was none of his business. "He reported the case as being scarlet fever and the child's brother was sent home from school. I was at the house when the boy came in and I went right back to the school with him and demanded to know why he was excluded. I protested to the Health Department and learned that the young fellow admitted that he didn't know, but merely suspected that the ehiid had scarlet fever.

Suggests Fumigation. 'So far as I know the placarding has been carefully done in this district. In a few cases, no doubt, proper care has not been exercised. This is probably due to ignorance of the quarantine precautions which should be taken. So far as I know there has been no general effort to conceal the existence of scar let fever in homes." Dr.

Woodruff said that even in very light cases there is danger from the scattering of the cuticle which peels from patients. He said: "I believe that one cause for the pres ent prevalence of the disease in this district is that scarlet fever in a mild form was in this same neighborhood last year. The winter clothing worn by the patients waa put away without being fumigated. When this clothing waa brought out and worn this year the germs of the disease were still in it and were communicated to other children at the Longfellow School."
