Treatment of
Measles and
German Measles.

Measles is by no means the
harmless disease it was thought
to be by many people. since it 10
shown by the statistics of the
Department of health that in
some epidemics more children die
OF Measles than from Scarlet
Fever.
For this reason it isimperative
that a physician be summoned
and every possible effort made
to check the spread ofthe disease
Although German Measles is
comparatively harmless disease
its management for every practi-
cal purpose should be essentially
the same as that of measles.
The patient should be confined
to one well ventilated room with
screened windows, preferably
with southerly exposure, and as
remote as possible from other oc.
cupied rooms in the house.
This room should be stripped of
fancy curtains, carpets and up.
holstery and all other furniture
not necessary for the comfort OF
the occupant.
Soiled bed and body clothing.
including handkerchiefs and cloths
used for collection of discharges
from the nose and mouth or soil.
ed by vomlted matter should be
thoroughly disintected. This
may be done by placing in water
and boiling thirty minutes.
Do not carry infected clothing
through the house, or store it
with other soiled material.
Clothes used for the collection
OF the nose and throat should be
burned. Remnants of food lett
by the patient should be burned.
None but those actually in at
tendance upon the patient should !.
be permitted to enter the sick
room or come in contact with
the patient.
The nurse or attendant should
wear only washable clothing
with a protective covering for
the hair.
The air of the sick room cannot
be disinfected during it's occupan-
cy by the patient.
The practice of hanging up
cloths saturated with carbolic
acid or placing saucers of Chlor-
mated Lime or proprietary disin-
fectants in the sick room il not
only annoying to the patient,
but utterly useless and often in
furious.
An abundance of fresh air
should be admitted to the room
but the patient should be pro.
tected from direct draughts.

amount, the proposition be gone over
again from the beginning. There was
no unanimity of sentiment in the
Junior delegation in this regard il
quickly developed. and, in fact. this
view was not taken by the majority.
Just before midnight both sides
agreed to appoint subcommittee OF
three members to reach final set
Element. The Virginia committee is
composed of Randolph Harrison,

II. Downing.
Virg inia Refuses.
West Virginia requested that the
subcommittee meet and go over the
matter from the beginning, leaving II
as an open question as to whether the
payment OF the original debt was jus
titled. But Virginia refused to enter
into any agreement to negotiate the
matter from Its preliminary state,
holding that as the Supreme court
declared West Virginia indebted to
the Old Dominion there could BE
no further question In this connec-
ton.
Although the meetings are being
held in secret ii was learned late to-
night that the West Virginia delega-
ton is badly split as to what counter
proposition they will offer to the Old
Dominion committee. Some are In
favor OF agreeing to the payment OF
the principal and interest claimed by
VIRGINIA, others admit the justice OF
the original debt and payment of in

bonds matured In the sos, while still
another group insists on opening the
negotiations from the beginning and

are of The belief that the junior State
will ultimately agree to almost all the
claims OF the Old Dominion and are
simply trying to drive the best bargain
possible.
The West Virginia commission was
created by an act Of the West Virginia
legislature last February, but it has
authority only to make recommen-
dations to the governor, who lis au-
