You may have a rash! A rash can also be called dermatitis(pronounced dur-muh-tahy-tis), which is a swelling or irritationof the skin. It can look red, dry, scaly, include lumps, bumps,blisters and pimples plus it’s itchy. Some rashes, combined witha fever can be signs of serious illnesses.

A type of rash called Hives can be serious because they canbe a sign of an allergic reaction and you would need immediatemedical attention. Hives are reddish or pale swellings that ap-pear on your body when a chemical called histamine (pro-nounced his-tuh-meen) is released in response to an allergen.The trigger can be a certain food, medicine or bug bite. A viruscan also cause hives.

Here are some other common types of rashes:

•Eczema is a common rash for kids. Eczema can cause dry,chapped, bumpy areas around the elbows and knees or moreserious cases of red, scaly, and swollen skin all over the body.•Irritant contact dermatitis is caused by contact with somethingirritating, such as a chemical, soap, or detergent. It can be red,swollen, and itchy. Even sunburn can be a kind of irritant der-matitis because it's red and might itch while it's healing.•Allergic contact dermatitis is a rash caused by contact with anallergen. An allergen is something you are allergic to, such asrubber, hair dye, or nickel (a metal found in some jewelry).Urushiol (pronounced yoo-roo-shee-ol), is an oil or resin con-tained in poison ivy, oak, and sumac, can cause this kind ofrash.

Some rashes form right away and others can take severaldays to occur. When a rash appears, you usually know it be-cause it will start to bother you. If you develop a rash, tell a par-ent or another adult as soon as you can. Try not to scratch it.If you do, the rash may take longer to heal and you'll be more

likely to develop an infection or scar.A visit to the doctor is a good idea. Although all rashes may

look alike to you, a skin doctor called a dermatologist knows thedifference. Knowing which kind of rash you have can help thedermatologist choose the best treatment to heal.

Here are some ideas to help you prevent rashes:

• If a poison plant is the problem, learn what the plant looks likeand avoid it. It also may help to wear long sleeves and pantswhen you're camping or hiking in the woods.• If bugs are biting you, have a parent help you apply some in-sect repellent when you'll be going outside.• For allergic dermatitis or irritant contact dermatitis, try to avoidthat substance. If you are allergic to nickel, wear only nickel-freejewelry. If you discover that bubble bath bothers your skin, don'tuse it. • With eczema, stay away from harsh soaps that might dry outyour skin. Make an effort to moisturize your skin with creams orlotions. Short, cool showers are a good idea, too, because hotshowers and baths can further dry out your skin.• When it comes to the sun, you should always wear sunscreento avoid a red and itchy sunburn.

It’s Fun To PlayThe Trumpet!

The trumpet is a musical instrument in the brass family. Of all brass in-struments, the trumpet is highest in register, above the French horn, trom-bone, baritone, euphonium, and tuba. A musician who plays the trumpet iscalled a trumpet player or trumpeter. As with all brass instruments, thesound is produced by buzzing the lips into a mouthpiece.

The oldest trumpets date back to 1500 B.C.E.and earlier. The bronze and silver trumpets fromTutankhamun's grave in Egypt, bronze lurs fromScandinavia, and metal trumpets from Chinadate back to this period. The earliest trumpetswere signaling instruments used for military orreligious purposes, rather than music in themodern sense.

Trumpet Facts:

• Taking care of a trumpet is easy! It is stored in just two pieces in the carrying case. The only regular main-tenance is to oil the valves and grease the slides as it’s needed.• The trumpet is played with the right hand on the top of the instrument with the first three fingers resting onthe valves. The left hand holds the trumpet with the fingers wrapped around the middle of the valves.• The trumpet is a very versatile and widely used instrument. Trumpets are always needed in bands, sym-phony orchestras, jazz groups and small instrumental groups. It is very common for the trumpet to performa large number of solos and melodic lines in all of these groups. The trumpet also works well as a solo in-strument. • There are many different kinds of trumpets. The most common type is the B-flat trumpet, but C, D, E-flat,E, F, G and A trumpets are also available.• The trumpet is used in nearly all forms of music, including classical, jazz, rock, blues, pop, ska, polka andfunk.

William McKin-ley was born onJanuary 29, 1843in Niles, Ohio. Atfirst, he attendedschool in a oneroom school-house. Aftermoving at theage of nine toPoland, Ohio, heand his siblingsattended a pri-vate schoolcalled PolandAcademy. In

school he enjoyed reading, debating, pubic speaking and be-came the president of the school’s debate club. At 16, he at-tended Allegheny College in Pennsylvania until illness sent himhome. After recovering from his illness, he worked as a postal clerk

and taught at Kerr School. When the Civil War broke out, he andhis cousin, Will, enlisted as privates in the 23rd Regiment OhioVolunteer Infantry. He was under the command of Rutherford B.Hayes (who was a future president). By the end of the war andthrough acts of bravery, he had elevated to the rank of BrevetMajor.After the war, he returned to his hometown of Poland, Ohio

where he studied law with Judge Glidden. In 1866, he enteredlaw school in Albany, New York and was admitted to the bar inOhio in 1867. After working for Judge Belden, he opened hisown practice and became involved with the Republican Party. Hewas elected Prosecuting Attorney of Stark County in 1869.He married Ida Saxton in January 1871 and had two daughters.

After losing both her children (one as an infant and one to typhoid

William McKinley Jr.25th President of the United States

1897-1901fever) and her mother, Mrs. McKinley through illness and depres-sion became a semi-invalid who needed constant care. Mr. McKin-ley was always concerned and was known for his devotion to her.At the age of 34, he won a seat in Congress. McKinley was ap-

pointed to the Ways and Means Committee. He was known for hispersonality, exemplary character and quick intelligence. He wasalso the leading Republican tariff expert, giving his name to themeasure enacted called the McKinley Tariff of 1890. The next year,he was elected as governor of Ohio and served two terms.In 1896, at the Republican Convention (during the depression),

he was nominated as the “advance agent of prosperity.” Duringthe campaign, McKinley met delegations on his front porch in Can-ton, Ohio and won by the largest majority of popular votes since1872.While president, at the tail of the depression, in 1900, Congress

passed the Gold Standard Act to make gold as a standard of ourmoney system. Industrial combinations began developing, but for-eign policy dominated McKinley’s Administration. With Spanishforces and revolutionaries in Cuba, the public brought pressure onthe President for war. In the 110 day Spanish-American War, theUnited States destroyed the Spanish fleet in Cuba, siezed Manilain the Philippines and occupied Puerto Rico. At the “Treaty ofParis”, Puerto Rico and Guam became U.S. possessions and for$20 million, we acquired the Philippines as a territory. With theselands, the U.S. became a world power under President McKinley.Cuba was set up as a protectorate. He also presided over the an-nexation of the formerly independent Kingdom of Hawaii.In 1900, McKinley won a second term. In this same year, the

Hay Pauncefote Treaty gave to the U.S. the right to build thePanama Canal. His second term came to a horrible end on Sep-tember 1901. While standing in a receiving line at the Buffalo Pan-American Exposition, a deranged anarchist shot him twice. Hedied eight days later and Vice President Theodore Roosevelt be-came the next president.
