Usually Confined to Children.

Usually Confined to Children.
The disease is usually communicate
ed in the ordinary intercourse of
children in the family, the school or
the Fairgrounds. While grown peo-
pie are not entirely immune, it is
usually confined to children. The
poison is eliminated not only through
surface of the body and the crusts
broken from the eruption, but even
in the air which the person breathes.
1t is believed by physicians that it
can enter the body by way of the
respiratory passages. Direct con-
tact, therefore, is not necessary, the
infection being communicated to some
little distance by the air; it can also
be carried more remotely by persons
who do not contract the disease
themselves, but who transmit it to
persons who are more susceptible.
The Importance of isolation and
sanitary precautions, in the light OF
the diseases highly contagious ma
ture, becomes Immediately manifest.
Isolation should be practiced, and the
quarantine should be prolonged until
the last crusts are thrown off Dis
infection of the person, clothing and
apartment is desirable to minimize
the danger of spreading the disease.
These measures, and the treatment
of the disease, should be carried out
under the direction of a physician.
Chicken-Pox Symptoms.
Chicken-pox is ordinary, an easy
disease to diagnose. 1t develops in
from ten to sixteen days after ex-
posture. The first indication is usually
the appearance of small, bright red
spots, which rapidly develop into
water blisters called vesicles. They
vary in size, the largest being about
the diameter of a split pea. There
vesicles are on the surface of the skin
and do not go deep. Usually there is
no suppuration or pus. The disease is
often accompanied by slight fever.
Surrounding each vesicle is a narrow
bright red ring called an aerolla. They
come out in crops on the body: some
times on the face AM scalp: and oc-
casionally even in the mucous mem
brane of the mouth. The blisters
seldom go on to pustulation, but
rapidly dry up after the fluid in them
becomes Opaque. In addition to slight
feverishness there may be loss of ap-
petite, aching feeling, and catarrhal
Inflammation. The duration of the
attack is variable Three or four
weeks is usually the extreme limit
before the separation of the last
crusts. Relapses do not occur. I'm
muuity from future attacks is prac-
tically permanent.
But it must be understood that
chicken-pox has no relation whatever
to smallpox, and the fact that a pa
tient has had one of them before, new
er protects from the other.
The medical name of chicken-pox
is varicella. 1t was once regarded as
a greatly modified and mild form of
smallpox, but It is now known as
an entirely distinct disease. One of
these diseases never gives rise TO
the other. The attack of one con.
fers no immunity against the other;
vaccination affords no protection

Tentative is forced upon him, the ony
way he can avail himself of the priv

pealing to. the governor for clemency.
If it happens that he is unable to

nine times out of ten he will be forced
to serve out the sentence on the gang
though in possession of enough money

This amounts to penalizing poverty
and misfortune. The state law on the
subject should be the same as munich
pal laws, by which prisoners may pay
the pro rata portion of the fine not
worked out any time while serving the
sentence, and do so without bother
and expense.
Judges should be permitted to sus-
pend sentences, with some form of pro-
baton, in all misdemeanor, and, under
wise restriction, in some felony cases.
as in that of youth arraigned for the
first time on a technical case of bur-
glary.
An irrefutable argument in favor of
this is in the fact that judges do sus-
pend sentences and put men on proba-
ton, though the attorney general has
held that they have no statutory right
to do so.
The state is in need of some for n
of indeterminate sentence. The paroie
law partly suffices, as it is intended to
do, but it does not and cannot fill the
need.
However, the indeterminate sell

ly applied without the adoption of {
companion system of record keepins

time to make accurate.
at would be best, l believe, to first
try the indeterminate sentence in
short form, that is by permitting
judges to impose minimum and maxi
mum penalties. the first to prevail on

CH|CKEN-POX CASES
SHOULDBE ISOLATED
While Not Dangerous, 1t Is High
ly Contagious Sometimes
Complications F o | low,
Says State Health
Board.

Atlanta, Ga.-Although chicken-pox
is regarded as one of the natural all
ments incident to childhood, there
are several important reasons, says
the Georgia State Board of Health,
why parents should exercise all the
care that would be taken with a more
dangerous epidemic disease.
In the first place, while chicken
pox, when properly treated, leaves
no permanent Disagreement of the
skin, if neglected or permitted to be-
come severe, it may leave scars or
peck marks similar to the pits that
come from smallpox. All that is
usually necessary to prevent the
scars is proper medical attention and
the exercise of care to prevent the
patient from scratching the eruptions.
If small children persist in scratching,
it is a good idea to put mittens on
their hands. Itching may be alleylat-
ed by carboliZed and warm baths, and
the application of oil may be used to
hasten the separation of the crusts.
Another reason why chicken-poX
cases should be given careful atten-
ton is the fact that while severe ill
ness or death seldom, if ever, occurs
in uncomplicated cases, there is al
ways a possibility of complications
that might lead to serious results.
Complications are rare, but when they
do occur they consist usually of pneu'
monia, erysipelas and Inflammation OF
the kidneys (nephritis). Not infre-
quently chicken-pox is complicated by
some other infectious disease, but
this, however, is more of coincid-
ence than a true complication.
Another reason for exercising
special care in chicken-poX cases.
and this is the most important reason
of all from the standpoint of com
munity welfare,-is the fact that the
disease is highly contagious, and
when the children of a family, or a
school or a neighborhood have been
once exposed to it, scarcely any child
who has not had the disease escapes
contagion.
