ANTIQUITY or The MEASLES.
People In All Times Have Suffered From
This Disease.

OF course every one thinks he knows
what measles is and yet very few really
know more about the ailment than the
fact that it is a contagious disease, char
acterized by sore eyes, sore nose, sere
throat and an eruption Of the skin.
| The disease is one Of great antiquity,
dating as far back as A. ID. 900. At
that time, however, IL was COMPOUNDED
with smallpox and scarlet fever BY
many observers smallpox and measles
were always regarded as one and the
same disease, differing only in degree.
This misinformation was not dispelled
until 1870, when Sydenham. an Eng
lish physician. declared that they were
distinct diseases.
About the origin of measles little is
known. AT the present day the disease
is found all over the civilized world. IL
is not known in uncivilized countries
IL has always been claimed that the dis
ease was due To "A specific poison, but
the nature Of it was not known. Quite
recently, however, a European bacteri-
ologist named Czajikowski reported that
he had found micro organism IN the
! blood Of person suffering from mea-
sles, which he believed 10 b. the cause
Of the disease Measles j. unlike some
other contagious diseases, in that It Is
no respccter of persons or places. IL af-
fects all sorts and conditions Of people.
What better illustration Of this Is need.
cd than the present case IN the first
household Of the land? The disease Is
one Of the most highly contagious all
ments known. IL is far more contagious
than smallpox, but the poison of mea-
sles contains much less vitality than
that of the latter The poison OF measles
exits in the breath, the blood. the tears
and in the secretions from the nose and
throat
Although the disease is usually
clasSed as one Of childhood. adults
sometimes suffer from It. The adult
cases are usually the more severe. In
fants under months are generally con-
sidered exempt from the disease, al
though there are exceptions to the rule.
Measles is generally looked upon as
necessary evil Of childhood and one that
deserves but little attention. In sim
pie case that may be- all well enough,
but there are usually other contingen-
cies, and some Of these should BE- guard
ed against In almost every case the
eyes become infiamed and call for at
tention. There is usually bronchitis
which, if left uncared for. may be- fol-
lowed by pneumonia and fatal temina-

CHAPTER XVIII

Aware that his brother Louis was Z
prisoner in the hands Of Bouton's Indian
allies and anxious TO rescue him, Henry
Kyle was III search of Back Eagles
band when he so oppcrtunely came to
the rescue Of Alice Blanchard and her
sister. After leaving the girls he went
TO where his horse was grazing and rode
on over the hills His object now was
to reach the opposite side of the canyon.
and, without forgetting his brother, TO
do all that he could for the girl that he
loved and her sister. He headed his
horse for the valley, whose every sur
rounding was so familiar TO him, and
stood on the rocky rim just as the sun
was setting The horse also recognized
the place and seemed anxious TO g.
down.
Giving the animal loose rein, Henry
Kyle was soon galloping across the
meadows and along the shore Of the
lake in the center Of the valley. With
his quick observation, he saw that there
were no cattle, horses or sheep where
hitherto the green eXDanse swarmed
with them. This struck him rs strange
He urged on his horse, dashed into the
grove III which the home that had ever
welcomed him stood and reined III be-
side the ash heap that marked the site
Of his fathers house.
The stiffness Of death hung over grove
and mountain. Even the birds seemed
~ have flown from the trees, through
which the evening breezes went signing
like "a requiem. With cry Of agony
Henry Kyle flung himself from his sad
die and gazed wildly about him. The
old house was gone, but in the rush of
feelings he could not think Of the house
Where were the occupants?
Mother! Mother!" he cried, and the
rocks behind the woods returned, like
the ghost Of his own voice, the echo:

mockery, replied.

COOPERATIVE BUYING BY ASSO-
CATIONS.


Having received quite large number
of letters from farmers recently asking
about the Boston Cooperative Buyers
Association, we have concluded to make
a short statement for publication, regard
ing this method of doing business.
While we have no direct charges OF
fraud to make at present against this or
any similar organization, and while we
| recognize that it may possibly have a
place i'm the economical handling OF
goods in some sections, we are firmly OF
the opinion that the farmers OF Maine
have nothing to gain by becoming men,
bers of any such association.
In the first place, If we grant that
there may be present benefits to come
from it, we still have no assurance that
they may continue for any length OF
time. Therefore, when we need il most
we NAV find ourselves without its aid.
Then again, there are claims made that
il Is Grange organization, which by
good authority we learn is not so At pres
eut. Neither Is 1t a cooperative organ
| iziIion in the stri,t sense Of the term. Co
operative buying consists in the mass
ing of orders by several individuals into
one order, which is forwarded with the
cash to some wholesale dealer, who fills
il and sends to one of the purchasers.
This can be done without the interven-
| ton of any organization.
We are told that five hundred dollars
WAS taken from one town In Oxford
county, recently. in membership fees
alone, and that, probably, beforea single
purchase was made. Now this sum
must represent the difference between
the lowest wholesale price aud the high
est retail price on quite large amount
of goods. and would have placed one
hundred barrels Of good -four In the
homes OF the farmers OF that town.
IL is difficult 70 obtain orders of suiii-
cient size To send To wholesalers, aud II
farmers desire To reach lower market
than the one near them, they have the
Grange store, which is under the close
supervision Of our State Grange, within
reach, where goods can be bought at
prices lust enough above the wholesale
To pay for handling.
With these privileges at command and
the extremely sharp competition which
now exists among retail dealers in most
places, We repeat that in our opinion the
farmers OF Maine should let this and SIM
liar organizations severely alone.
