MEASLES AND SOME
FACTS ABOUT THEM.
Health Department Makes
Suggestions as to Care Of
Patients and Quarantine

Now that Salem is having an epi-
demic Of measles, and 80 cases are uu-
der quarantine, few facts from the
health department Of the city about
measles may be of general interest.
In the first place, measles is a dam
gerous disease. 1t has been proven
that it has been more fatal than the
much dreaded scarlet fever. In fact,
these two innocent diseases, measles
and whoopmg cough together have
killed in the northern cities, 80 per
cent more people than all the other
acute contagious diseases combined.
The present epidemic in Salem can
be traced to one case brought to one OF
the schools by boy who had been Wis
iting in Eugene. During the month
one school, Yew Park, reported p cases
and it was not long before 2S Of the
pupils of Lincoln school had cOnthact-
ed the disease. A child may have
measles and not show any signs of it.
although he is spreading the disease
all the time. When a child has the
early symptoms, such as cataTh of the
nose, coughing, sneezing and inflamed
eyes, it should be kept at home until it
has been definitely determined that
it is not measles.
The old idea that every child should
have the measles and whooping cougi
was long ago exploded. The fact is,
lit is not only an undesirable thing to
have the measles, but that it is very
dangerous.
After being exposed, child will
show the first symptoms in about eight
days and the rash will appear in about
II days after the first exposure. After
"a child has been exposed to the dis
ease he can give it to another in
eight days. 1t is most contagious dur
ing the four or five days preceding
the appearance of the rash.
The first symptoms are cold in the
head, cough, sometimes vomiting, sore
ness Of the eyes, desire to avoid the
light, and ferershness, although of
course all Of these symptoms do not
appear.
AS soon as the first symptoms ap-
pear, the child should be isolated. He
should be quarantined cntil two weeks
after tine first appearance of the rash.
In q case of measles, the whole fam
lily is not quarantined only the child.
But other children in the home who
have never had the measles, will be re-
quired to stay at home.
The proper treatment includes keep
ing the child in bed in darkened
room as long as there is a fever. The
nose and mouth should be kept clean
and it is needless to say that it is ad-
yisable to call a physician. Measles
is now regarded as a dangerous dis.
ease, and it is not advisable, accord
! ing to a recent bulletin issued by the
city of Seattle, to take any chances,
Seattle is now in the midst of a meas
les epidemic, and the department of
health has issued a bulletin, giving
general instructions as to treatment
and care.
After a child has had the measles,
in the Seattle schools, the teacher is
not permitted to admit him as a pupil
unless he presents a written rele lse
from the school physician or a regular
physician This is done for the pro.
lection Of the other school children.
During the month of April 80 Sa-
lem children of school age and many
under the age Of six years have had

Use Zemo for Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying a little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 25c. Extra
large bottle, $1.00. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In a short time
usually every trace Of pimples, blace
heads, rash, eczema, letter and similar
skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, zemo is an exceptional
remedy. 1t is not greasy, sticky or
watery and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat'
ment for all skin troubles,
Zemo, Cleveland.

reported, Is as follows: Wilson I0T,-

leads by more than $4,000 in the pop

by the Rexall people as follows:
