faces and bleared eyes, having left good part of their
weeks wages within. Women avoided the place. of

School hurried by with quickened step and with sus-

During the local option campaign "The Corner"

of the city, the keeper of this saloon argued that if
the town went dry the rooms occupied by saloons
would remain vacant and business would suffer-
This particular room did remain vacant for short
time but during that time it underwent thorough re-
pairs and is of the most attractive business
quarters in the city. Recently grocery store was in

exhibited the Rockford pictures filled with samples
of flour and potatoes and with pyramids of canned
goods and other groceries.

This is the season when parents
should guard against measles. La
this state over seven out of ten
deaths, and a proportionate number
of cases, occur in the first half OF
the calendar year, or from January
to June.
NArURE-Measles is a highly con-
tagious disease. characterized by
symptoms of q cold in the head and
a rash which appears first upon the
cheeks and forehead. The general
public and even many physicians
underestimate the seriousness OF
measles, the complications OF which
make it one of the most dangerous
of the eruptive fevers.
The centagion (the germ has not
vet been disoovered) is carried most
commonly by discharges from the
nose, and may be carried by a third
person. One attack does not give
absolute protection from further in
lection. Contrary to common be-
lief, there may be even three or four
attacks.
SYMPToMs-The disease begins

DAYS after infection) with symptoms
of severe "cold in the head" sneez-
ing, running nose, chilliness. cough,
etc. The fever may rise as high as

shotty dots, spreads to neck and
chest. The general symptoms and
prostratio1s may be very severe.
The peeling usually begins two or
three days after the rash appears.
COMPLICATION - Measles itself
rarely causes death. Complications,
however, of which broncho pneu-
monia Is the most common and the
most dangerous, probably are fire.
quently given credit for causing
deaths really due to measles. In
famm alton of throat and of middle
ear and intestines may occur.
Measles frequently paves the way
for consumption.
DIAGNoSIs-Measle is most like
ly to be confused with scarlet fever.
PREvENTIoN-As in all contagious
diseases of childhood, the patient
should be completely quarantined.
Handkerchiefs. bedding. clothing,
ETC., should be carefully handled
and disinfected
TREATMENT-The patient should
be confined to bed in we'll ventilat-
ed room, we'll nursed, and carefully
watch d by competent physician.
The period of conyalescence is the
most import ant so far as the devel-
opment of the dangerous after eff
fects is concerned.
THE DISEASE is ABSOLUTELY PRE-
VENTABLE.

PRUNES REPORTED

IN THE LOWLANDS
Prophets Disagree As to Crop
Prospects --- Some Con-
tracting---Big Pool

While some commission men and
growers have developed somewhat dis.
couraging views regarding the prospects
for this year s prune crop, and forecast
a reduction Of from 60 to rs per cent
from the normal crop for the state,
other entertain more optimistic ideas
and believe that, if conditions prove no
worse than the present situation indi.
Gates there is no good cause for alarm
and that the crop will come fully up to
the average. Late frosts, cold rains and
other weather uncertainties of the fu.
ture, of course, are as yet to be reck.
oned with. AT the worst it is conceded
that the crop will be far greater than
that of last year, which was about one.
third of normal.
Fred G. Drager, of the Drager Pruno
company states that, if the reports he
has been receiving of heavy dropping
of the Italians in the lowlands are
found to be true and the dropping OF
blossoms in the upland orchards is as
serious, he places the crop estimate fol
this year at from 60 to IS per cent Of &
normal crop, which is between 20 and
90 million pounds, but that il is little
early to make an intelligent forecast Of
the crop indications and nothing defin
ite will be known for week or 10 days
