DISCOVERIES MEAN
BLOW TO RAvAGES
CAUSED BY MEASLES
Physicians Learn Skin Is Not
Contagious-Succeed in
Inoculating Monkeys.

Two discoveries about the common
children's disease Of measles that prom
ise to make that malady much less gen.
eral In the future, have been made by.
two United States Government physI-
clans. DR.. John r. Anderson and DR..
Joseph Godberger, Of the Hygienic
Laboratory, in Washington. They have
found that the dried particles of the
skin of the child which rub off in the
period OF convalesence have nothing to
do, as II Is generally supposed, with the
spread of the disease. and, further, that
animals lower than man may contract
and suffer the disease, for these physi-
clans actually have succeeded in inocu-
laung several monkeys from a child
sick with measles.
A complete exposition of the re-
searches and studies which have re-
suited in these important discoveries
will be given to the world by Drs. An
derson and Goldberger on Monday aft
ernoon, September %, at one Of the ses-
slons of the Fifteenth International
Congress on Hygiene and Demography
which meets here on that date and con-
tinues until September %.
Doctors have long tried to infect ami
mails with measles In order to study the
nature of the disease and find a new
method Of combating epidemics, but
have failed 80 completely that It was
thought the germ was harmless to the
lower animals. 1t remained for these
two members Of the United States Pub
lie Health Service to accomplish this
and open the way to q quicker conquest
OF this enemy of childhood.
II was always supposed that the
scales or dried particles of skin that
brush off child with measles, carried
the germ, 1t has now been shown that
these scales have nothing to, do with
the contagion, but that II Is the nose
and mouth secretions that convey the
germs.
Another interesting fact Is that the in
fectlve period ends with the pa ssing OF
the rash, and when a child has begun
to get we'll and the rash has disap-
peared. 1t Is no longer menace to
others.
To illustrate how measles and other
diseases are communicated there will
also be an exhibit in the exhibition on
health devoted to this subject. The cx-
hibition will open September IS and re-
main open to the public until October L.

Thomas r. Waggaman are today being
paid warrants for the first dividend OF 9
per cent due them as a result Of litiga-
ton extending through four years.
II. Rozier Dulany, trustee of the es-
tate, is issuing the warrants at his Of
fee, 1893 r street northwest. Notice
was given to the creditors two weeks
ago -.- -
1t is expected that between 25 and 81
per cent of all the claims, aggregating
s1,992,173. will eventually be paid The
largest claim, the one held by the Cath
