Impetigo, Child's
Disease, Active
In Summer Months
AUSTIN, July—When a state
health authority says there is no
such thing as a natural resistance
to impetigo, parents of small
children know exactly what he
means. Those parents know, per-
haps from bitter experience, that
the same individual can suffer re-
peated attacks from what State
Health Officer Geo. W. Cox calls
an "offensive, annoying skin in-
fection."
Although children are unusual-
ly susceptible, impetigo can be
found in any age group, Dr. Cox
said. It is most prevalent during
the summer months, but has been
known to occur at any month.,
Impetigo, according to Dr. Cox'8
explanation, is a purulent skin in-
fection. It isn't too serious, except
in new born babies. An invasion
of a hospital nursery ward calls
for extereme attention to keep
uninfected babies from getting it,
for it spereads like fire in dry
grass.
Impetigo is caused by a pus
farming bacteria called staphylo-
coccus—the same sort of germ
found in boils and sores where
pus is present. Usually it forms
an unsightly crust over the wide
areas of the body. The pus under-
neath the erust is highly infect-
ious if allowed to get on any other
skin surface.
The infection is easily trans-
mitted when a non-infected per
son uses the towel of someone in- ■
fected, since the towel moisture
permits the germ to survive.
Children living in the most
| hygienic homes frequently get
i impetigo, although it is perhaps
, more common among children liv-
ing in homes where personal san-
itation i n't considered too im-
portant.
Dr. Cox says soldiers are often
infected, because they have small
chance for keeping consistently
clean. It may involve a whole arm,
or a side of the face and neck.
The only way to minimize the
ill effects of impetigo is to keep
the infection localized, that is,
keeping it from spreading. This
can be done only by preventing
the pus or serum from exuding
onto "clean" skin surfaces.
The family physician is the
child's best friend. He'll advise
j the mother how best to combat
| the ailment, and how to keep it
| from spreading to other mem-
' bers of the family.

The Walking Man
When the wild herds of mus-
tangs roamed the west, no man
needed go unhorsed. Even a man
afoot could capture one of the
broomtails if he knew how to go
: about it. He could actually walk
| a wild horse down.
The man could not run as fast
; as the horse. But the man had
| what the horse lacked and that
was steadiness of purpose. The
! horse would tear off with flying
hoofs, and then stop Xor food or
rest. Sooner or later, he would
i sniff the wind, look around, and
' see the walking man—far off,
! perhaps, but bearing down upon
: him relentlessly. Eventually, may-
| be in two days or more, the
horse became unnerved. He gave
up, and the man got him.
Sometimes we Tcxans are be-
ginning to wonder whether we
haven't got a walking man stalk-
ing us—the Federal Government,
to be specific. What brings this
thought to mind, of course, is the
recent seizure of the Texas Tide-
lands by the Federal Government.
In our feeling of outrage, perhaps
we have lost sight of the larger
significance of this act.
I This is that the Federal Govern-
ment has abandoned all pretense
of serving justice to the states. In-
stead, it is imposing its will—a
will decided by men, not laws. It
is only another in a long series of
acts which clearly show the in-
tention of the Federal Govern-
ment to herd the states along, to
capture their rights and their
powers.
Unless we can inspire our pub-
lic officials to make a stand a-
