Your Health,
The First Concern.
The response to the wh.oping cough
clinic established in Syracuse, N.Y.
has been gratifying, according to a
bulletin from the city health depart-
ment. Various types of treatment
are being given and laboratory facil-
ities for diagnosis in doubtful cases
will be available. All cases are to be
carefully investigated and followed.
F.r purposes of study the various
cases at the clinic have been classified
in three groups. The first is the
group of contacts, patients who have
not yet developed coughs but who
have been exposed to the disease.
Prophylactic injections of whooping
cough vaccine will be given them.
Early cases with cough but without
the characteristic whoop comprise
the second group. History of expos-
ure and examination of blood or spu-
tum cultures will be used to aid in
diagnosis and treatment will be given
accordingly.
In the third group, in which the
typical cough and other symptoms
are present, every effort will be made
to find some means of shortening the
course of the disease and of relieving
the suffering. In all groups the hy-
giere and general physical condition
of the child will be given careful con-
sideration, with particular attention
to infants with rickets or tetany. Ev-
ery effort will be made to encourge
prompt reporting, and to this end an
inquiry will be made to ascertain
whether a physician has previous:
been called and the case reported.
A whooping cough school has been
opered in Needham, Mass., for the
benefit of children who have suffi-
ciently recovered from the disease to
continue their studies but who must
remain away from school in order to
protect the other pupils. This special
school is held in a portable building
on the hospital grounds.—Hygeia.
_ The other day a citizen of Pennsyl-
vania was prosecuted, found guilty
and sentenced because he tore down
a bit of printed pasteboard which had
beeen tacked upon his house. The
sign proclaimed that a communicable
disease had attacked one of the in-
mates; that the people in the house
eoming in contact with the patient
should stay in, and that ail others ex:
cept those professionally interested in
the case should stay out, said Dr.
Theedore B. Appel, Secretary of the
Department of Health, recently.
The householder in this instance
conceived an entirely wrong idea
about that card. He felt that the
yellow sign was evidence to the com-
munity of a punishment being i
flicted upon his family because bad
geims had invaded his home. Of
coyrse, he was mistaken. For the ap-
plication of quarantine is absolutely
impersonal and carries no reflections
whatsoever so long as it is obeyed.
Tt is an extremely difficult proposi-
tion under the most favorable condi-
tions to avoid serious epidemics in
such a vast population as exists in
Pennsylvania. Millions of people, liv-
ing under many different conditiions
and engaged in countless pursuits,
call for constant vigilance and effi-
cieht control. It is a daily fight be-
tween health officials and disease
germs. And quarantine, when a com-
municable disease asserts itself, is the
most effective and successful weapon
that can be employed.
Modern quarantine is arranged to
afford the greatest protection to the
public and to interfere as little as
possible with the earning capacity of
the head of the house. Its duration
depends upon the length of time the
patient remains infectious plus the
period necessary to determine wheth-
er others in the family will develop
the malady. In most diseases this
second interval varies from three to
four days as, for example, in diph-
theria and scariet fever; for measles
and chicken pox as long as two weeks,
and in mumps as much as twenty-
one days.
There can be no question that quar-
antine is always an inconvenience to
the immediate family involved but it
seldom, if ever, works a real hard-
ship. And in every case the embar-
rassment is entirely offset by the pro-
tection afforded to the neighbors and
the community, not to mention the
personal safety factor involved when
it is the other fellow’s house that is
placarded!
By all means avoid communicable
disease by the adoption of reasonable
protection against them. But, if in
spite of all efforts quarantine be-
comes, necessary, make the best of it
with a smile. And thus greatly assist
in protecting the public against the
inroads ‘of disease.
The attitude of entire accord with
the policy of applying quarantine is
therefore the only logical one to as-
sume. It is the principle of the great-
est good to the greatest number.
That whole grain products contain
valuable fcod principles and cereals is
not a fad. It is a fact that has come
as ‘the result of years of careful
study and research. The origin of the
study along this particular line reads
like a fascinating story. For centur-
ies the people of the Orient especial-
ly the sailors, were troubled with a
nervous disease—beriberi. This dis-
ease was not only wide spread but it
carried a high death rate as well.
Finally through the investigation of
a Japanese naval officer, Takaki, fol-
lowed by other investigations and ex-
periments conducted by our own army
medical officers in the Phillipines, it
was found this disease could be cured
by adding whole grains, vegetables or
unpolished rice to the diet.

The Merchandise Mart of Chicago, Twice the Size of the World’s Largest Business Building, to Cost $30,000,000.
GIGANTIC MERCHANDISE MART
T0 BE TWICE SIZE OF WORLD'S
LARGEST BUSINESS BUILDING |
New Project for Chicago’s Great Central
Market to Cost $30,000,000—Involves

Chicago, (Special).—Chicago is to
have a gigantic Merchandise Mart
housed in its own building, which
will be twice the size of the largest
business building in the world. This
mammoth structure, two city blocks
in length, 18 to 23 stories high. is
planned for the service and conven-
fence of merchandise buyers of the |
United States and to achieve for Chi- |
cago a still greater prestige as a |
Great Central Market, it was de-
clared today. It will cost $30,000,000.
Construction will begin immediately.
The project will be the largest
singles development of air rights. The
property of the new building except
for caissons begins 23 feet above
“datum.”
The big business of the country
ifs now done mainly in concenirated
market places, as evidenced by the
Garment Center and Cotton Goods
Center in New York City, automobile
rows in all leading cities, financial
buildings, and the Furniture Mart in
Chicago, where more than 700 furni- |
ture manufacturers show their prod-
ucts side by side, in the most modern
manner. and uader ideal conditions. |
Dusiness men have learned that the |
nearer they are to the centers of these
market places, the greater is their |
‘opportunity for volume and profit.
‘Fhe estahlishment of the Merchau |
dise Mart is a dramatic development !
in the program to make Chicago the
Great Central Market, a movement |
which the Chicago Association of Com- |
merce started a number of years ago
and a goal toward which it has been
devoting its energies continuously .
ever since, under the leadership of
its [foreign and Domestic Commerce |
committee. |
Located on River Front.
This great Mart, which will house
ales quarters and merchandise dis
plays of several hundred of the coun-
try's foremost manufacturers, whole-
salers and importers, will be located
in the rapidly developing new river
district, and will occupy a distinctly
conspicuous position just across the
river from Wacker Drive at Wells |
street. where the southern facade of |
the structure will be visible for |
blocks. The site was formerly that of
the Chicago and North Western Rail- |
way Company's passenger station. The |
building will extend 724 feet on Kin-
zie street, 577 feet on the river front |
and 324 feet on Wells street. with a |
diagonal frontage facing Orleans and
Franklin streets. It will be set back
from the river about 80 feet to ac-
commodate a broad upper level drive |
extending from Wells to Franklin. The
main entrance of the building wil’ |
face the river and the drive,
The Merchandise Mart will have a |
total floor space of about 4,000,000 |
square feet as compared with slight-
ly less than 2,000,000 square feet.
which is the floor area of the Furni- |
ture Mart, the next largest building.
Each of the eighteen main floors will |
have an area of more than 200,000 |
square feet. i
Within the walls of this huge
edifice the retail merchants of ‘the |
United States, Canada and foreign
countries will be able to see, under
one roof, hundreds of lines of the |
world’s best merchandise. The manu- |
facturers’ exhibits will include tex- |
tiles, ready-to-wear, toys, laces, gloves, |
corsets, millinery, silverware, glass, |
rugs, knit goods, hosiery, shoes, men’s |
wear, fancy goods, sport goods, art and
antiques, jewelry, trunks, toilet articles,
house furnishings, office equipment and |
scores of other merchandise displays.

Probably no building in the world
wiil have such facilities for receiving
and shipping merchandise as the new
Merchandise Mart, The entire ground
level below the street floor will be a
modern freight station. Private tracks
for incoming carload freight wili ex-
tend under the center of the building.
The Chicago and North Western Rail-
way will operate an inbound freight
station for less than carload lots, as
well as an outbound station, which
will connect with all other roads
through its new Proviso yards. The
merchandise as it comes into this big
freight station will be loaded into high-
speed conveyors and transported im-
mediately to the exact floor and aisle
of the merchant for whom fit is in-
tended.
Connection will be made with the
{llinois Tunnel! Company’s system of
freight transportation, which has more
than sixty miles of tracks beneath
the streets and buildings of the city.
reaching all other railroad terminals.
A river dock for vessels will connect
with the south freight elevators of the
building.
Club Planned for Tower.
One of the interesting features
planned for the Mart will be a Mer-
chants’ Club in the tower of the build-
ing, with lounging rooms, reading and
smoking rooms, where the retailer
may relax and meet his friends. The
Mart will provide the retailer with
everything but a place to sleep. He
can go direct from the train to the
Mart with his baggage. Here his hotel
reservations will be taken care of,
his baggage transported to his hotel:
and placed in his room. Restaurants,
luneh rooms and grills in the Mart
will further economize his time. He
will have the facilities of a barber
shop, and a branch postoffice, tele-
graph office and public stenogranhers
will afford him the opportunity to
handle his correspondence without
leaving the building. One of the big-
gest telephone exchanges in the world
will be installed in the Mart.
Many other unique features are be-
ing considered for the Mart, including
an Assembly Hall, where trade meet-
ings, business conferences and fashion

Time Saver for Merchants, |
Every possible facility will be ;
|
|
vided for the comfort and convenience
of the retail merchant, who under one
roof will be able to see hundreds of
lines, thus saving time and money by
doing in a few hours what ordinarily
would take him days to accomplish
On all floors of the Mart wili be |
great corridors, with all the appear- |
more than G50
feet in length, on either side of which
will be the shops displaying their var- |
fed lines—veritable ‘business streets.” |
These great corridors will be impres- |
sively treated architecturally and with |
the large space available it will be |
possible to house the selling activi-
ties and warehousing of many allied |
concerns on one floor, thus attaining
the advantages of concentrated group-
ings.
The facilities for handling merchan-
dlse within the building will embody
the best and most modern achieve-
shows may be held from time to time.
As the plans are worked out, many
other features may be decided upon.
Within recent years Chicago's cen-
tral business district has been devel-
oping northward across the Chicago
river. East of State street, along
north Michigan avenue, Cass, Rush
and other streets, this development
has reached impressive proportions,
evidenced by more than twenty large
buildings. To the west of State street,
a comparable development is under
way. The site of the new Merchan-
| dise Mart is in the direct path of this
| new northward movement.
In the new river district where the
Merchandise Mart is to be located,
many great buildings have been erect-
ed, and others soon will be begun.
The Builders’ Building, the Engineers’
Building, the Chicago Evening Post
Building, have been completed oppo-
site the new Mart on Wacker Drive.
The new Chicago Daily News Baild-
ing and the great new opera house
of the Chicago Civic Opera Company
are being constructed on the river
three blocks south.
Won't Rent Her Rooms to Folks Mi-
nus Children.
In a comfortable old mansion not
too far from the business centers
which give them employment, apart-
ment seeking parents and their chil-
dren barred by so many landlords,
have found a haven.
The bars formed by the abrupt “No
children or dogs allowed,” discourag-
ing. to so many proud fathers and
mothers in search of a home for their
little family, have at last been lifted
through the medium of kindly Mrs.
Geneva Foss.
Boldly flaunted in front of her huge
old house, once the home of a wealthy
local business man, is invitingly "dis-
played a sign:
“For Rent: Rooms for parents and
their children only.”
These parents who are forced to
work each day—there are clerks,
waitresses, and milliners among
them—can devote their best efforts to
their tasks in the realization that
Mrs. Foss and her helpers are car-
ing for the children, supplying their
wants and regular meals.
Herself the mother of two little
children, and under the necessity of
earning a living, Mrs. Foss turned to
a field she knew she would love. Now
there are 32 children, from two to six-
teen years of age, under her roof and
there is a long waiting list.
