group is sold comparatively the members
paying their proportion of the cost Of
handling and sharing in the profits. The
agents representing the department and
the State college help these groups by
giving their members instructions in
shipping by parcel post and express, in
grading and testing eggs, and in choice oil
containers. In several of these groups
the members have come to appreciate
the value of standardized product and
therefore, have agreed to raise the same
breed of chickens and thus produce the
same grade of eggs:
The following report from Mississippi
where there are SO cooperative egg-selline
associations and two junior poultry clubs
is typical of the work in the other Southern
States. An association with packing

1-12 cents per dozen to do the packing
which is done in an old school building.
This club has sold more than $500 worth
of eggs at prices substantially above the
local market quotations. Another asso-
citation, with packing center at Wood
vile, has membership of 20. They
pay their secretary-manager cents
per dozen. The grading and packing
are done by committees of three, which
serve in turn. A local railroad agent has
allowed the members to use part of the
depot for packing room. The asso-
citation has an electric tester and scales
for weighing the eggs. Under it's STAN
dard, it does not accept eggs weighing
less than2 ounces each. The first ship
ments were made in commercial cases,
but the eggs are now packed in one

This association separates fertile from
infertile eggs and secures premium for
the infertile ones. They have sold 1916

MEASLES ARE WORST AILMElyT

The number of cases Of measels III
Minnesota will surpass last years record
OF 3,177, according to reports that have,
come in since the first of January: to the:
Minnesota Public Health Association.
Last year this ailment affected many:
more persons than did dipthheriss:
Measles is the most serious disease Of

tary of the association. .,'' @'~!' =:
Although more difficult. to control.
measles can be prevented just as effective
ly as can scarlet fever or dipthheria.
Parents and teachers, he says, should be,
familiar with the early symptoms of the
disease and endeavor to prevent its
spread. .. 49, = .s2j~= - =.
Measles must not be regarded as q
trifing ailment,, he warns them. In
the beginning, the illness is apparently
trihing. Its complications, however,
make this disease the most serious that
is common to children. It is especially
likely to be followed by tuberculosis,
pneumonia kidney disease, impairment
of sight, deafness or heart disease. ::
The disease Stimulates in the beginning:
an acute cold running of the nose, red
ness of the eyes, sneezing and dry cough
prevailing. This is the most infectious
stage and the fresh discharges from the
nose and throat carry the infection. The
running nose is likely to be the fore
runner of the measly rash. So, when
measles is present, all suspects should be
isolated to await development of the rash,
which usually appears the third day of the
disease. Exposed children not pro-
tected by previous attack; may come
down with the disease in from seven to
fourteen days, unually on the eleventh
day. They need not be restricted then
for seven days after exposure, but should.
beisolated thereafter for at least ten days..
If, in spite of precaution, a. child de-,
velops measles, he should be kept ins a.
warm bed, preferably in darkened,. but
well-ventilated room. Convaleseenee
after the rash has disappeared is. the
critical time, and unless proper care ..is
taken, complications, some of which may
not be evident for several years, may
develop. :.

cause Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH lower and

almost ANY CASE constipation, sour
