GUARD AGAINST
MEASLES ATTACKS

Women have their fashions in
dress and men too have their own
ideas about their hats and clothes.
II is the same with measles. according
to health official. In speaking OF
the prevalency of measles in Will
mington this official said today
rThis is the season of measles and
parents with children will do well to
take care. Time was when many of US
didn't think much of the measles. It
used to be thought that every child
had TO go through the measles, and
frequently parents exposed their
children to contact with afflicted
children. Science has demonstrated
that il was not necessary and there
by rendered a great public service,
since measles is a really dangerous
disease.
February, March and April are the
months when measles attack children
It Is an acute, infectious ailment of
the body, develops quickly, and is
potential of great mortality and after
effects that are apt TO make invalids.
The death rate from measles among
children under two years Of age is
great.
Ordinarily measles is not dis
covered until a rash appears, and
even then the attention given is none
too serious. II is, however, highly
infections and can be spread among
adults as well as children. Suspi-
cious symptoms are redness of the
eyes and eyelids, cold in the head,
a running nose with or without
cough. The rash, of course, is the
most developed symptom.
"If parents act quickly when they
nosc the symptoms and remember that
It Is ignorant and wrong 10 deli
, berately expose a child TO the disease
they will save themselves - much
trouble and many heartaches."
