MEASLES WARMING
SENT TO DOCTORS
No Epidemic Here, but Health
Officer Urges Precau-
tons.

Chief Health Oficer e. C. Levy yes
,erday mailed to every physician in
the city a circular letter calling at
tention TO the danger of measles and
the Importance of reporting all cases
to the Health Department as soon as
possible. For the past two years. the
letter says, there has been but little
measles In the city, but as the disease
fuctuates greatly from year to year,
the department has been watching the
situation carefully for the first signs
of an approaching epidemic SO as to
warn the medical profession. In the
opinion OF DIR. Levy the time has now
come.
statistics show that during 1909
there were only forty cases in the
city and only one fatality. Ten days
ago there were five cases. but later
reports indicate trouble. According to
the doctors. measles is the most conta-
pious of all diseases in this climate
II Is also said to be the most fatal
of all eruptive diseases OF childhooo
in this part of the country, far eS'
ceeding scarlet fever in It's mortality
The control of its spread has not ye'
been successfully accomplished, Dur
the Board OIL Health peiieNeS '''o
something can be done. II has beer
proved that measles is always spreac
by direct contact. and the board
urges that all suspicious cases be $50
lated until a diagnosis can be MADE
Physicians of the city are asked I'm :
mediately to report all cases in their
practice and TO warn all families I'M
der their care that 1t Is not an IN
significant disease. Records for the
year 1907 show that in the first SIX
months there were 1912 cases. with
35 deaths, case fatality OF 20 per
cent The importance of impressins
on the people the fact that the longer
an attack of measles can be aVoided
the less chance OF a fatal Issue IL
one of the points made, since the IA
tally among very young infants OFTEN
runs as high as Is or 20 per cent.
The board also insists upon the treat
ment Of a case until complete recoV-
cry, as a large percentage of cases o.
measles die from complications, such
as broncho- pneumonia. AS far as Is
possible the department will keep any
physician acquainted with the exact
status of the disease in the city and
also give the location of cases

for It.

Mrs. Fanny Reynolds. of 222 Nichols

a Richmond court. she says. to obtain
a legal separation from her husband,
William Reynolds, who was sentenced
to twelve months in jail by Judge

er OF fourteen children by a former
marriage. and who is now scarcely
more than forty years old. VIII al
lege cruelty and non-support and
numerous other things against the
husband. when her suit for divorce
Is filed.
Judge Witt. who refers TO the case
as the most brutal he has known in
his experience on the bench, says the
prisoner. under no circumstances, will
be released until he has served the
full term. Mrs. Reynolds is practi-
cally an invalid as a result OF an at
tack by her husband. but she said
yesterday she is unwilling to appear
as a prosecutor. and will be satisfied
II the law allows her to spend the
rest OF her days with her children.
The woman was formerly Mrs. Walter
Adams, and was married to Reynolds,
whose criminal record in Henrico was
unknown to her at the time, on Apri!
10, 1908.
When the woman heard sentence
passed upon her husband by Judge
witt she tainted. and a collection was
taken for her benefit among the spec
tators at the trial Mrs. Reynolds
went home richer b. IS. but not until
her husband had been sent to jan.

Mrs. Reynolds is listening 10 the

actly what my husband did.

I believed he would be kind TO me. A
week after the wedding he began his
cruelty. l have taken him back five

forever now. No woman can live with
a man who threatens her life every
day he lives, and who keeps her at

food
Reynolds is carpenter. and before
his marriage worked on farm In
henrico county. He forced his wife
to move TO Fulton from Church Hill
on threats of desertion. and has not
permitted the older children 70 live
at home since. Mrs. Reynolds is de-
pendent upon her own efforts. and the

A Horse's Toe Nails.

Few persons realize that horses hoof is really the same thing as the toe nails of human beings or of ani- malls having toes. The horn of hoof grows just as a toe nail does. The hoof grows more rapidly in unshod horses than in those wearing shoes, and it grows faster in horses which are well groomed and well fed. But on an average the horn grows about { third of an inch month. Hind hoofs grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe of the hoof being the longest part, it takes longer for the horn to grow down there than at the heel. For in stance, the toe will grow entirely down in from eleven to thirteen months, while the heel will grow down in from three to five months. As the new horn grows out any cracks or defects in the old gradually work down to where they can be cut of, just as with human finger nails you can watch the progress of bruise from the root to the tip.- London Answers.

Ancient Skates,

The English chronicler has recorded that the youth of London in the twelfth century understood the art of flying over the ice like birds in the air. but the origin of skating is far more an- cient. An Icelandic saga relates how the Norwegian hero Frithiof not only traced verses upon the polished mirror but also cut the dear name of Inge bord. Skates have been discovered near Spandau, in Germany. which those competent to express an opinion at tribute to a period of 5000 years ago These skates were made from bones of horses, figured and perforated to at tach to the sandal. Similar skates have beer found at Moorfelds, in Fins bury, and like discoveries have been made in Berlin in the bed of the Spree These and similar discoveries, we learn, enable the authorities to con clude that the European ice area in prehistoric times extended from Great Britain to Finland and from Norway to Hungary.-London Globe.

Whistler as . Letter Writer.

Early MT. Whistler as letter writer became a parsonage to be reckoned with. His pen was very frequently dipped in gall, but 1t Is joy to read him, with his very delightful personal style. No one ever wrote quite like him. Hamerton, with whom he had many passes, always to the critie's great discontinue, once, in reviewing his symphony In White" stupidly called attention to the fact that there were many other tints iD the picture besides whlte. There was. he main. tained. the reddish hair 1f the woman Tor instance; her fesh color. bit ot blue ribbon. and so on. Whistler re- lponded: "Bexl Dieu did this wise per. pn expect white hair and chaihCti faces? And does he then, in his as- bounding consequence, believe that Nmphony in F contains no other note but shall be a continued repetition of F F F F? Il" Fool" And, of course, the world Is familiar with Whstler'S studied insolence in his reply to a com munication in the New York Tribune by Hamerton, who complained that Whistler refused to answer his letters Whistler referred to the writer as a MT. Hamerton," which made Hamer. ton perfectly furious and so served Whistler's ends.-Arthur Hoeber in Forum
