HINTS.

Parents of families should be famil-
lar with the symptoms OF measles.
An early diagnosis with prompt 50
iation will prevent its spread among
the rest of the family.
No child is so strong as to be al
lowed to deliberately court or be ex-
posed to any disease. much less such
a one in which the death rate is Va
r.able, and u true prediction OF the
end Of any one case is a matter Of ex-
IRENE uncertainty.
The healthy child may have, and
frequently has a severe attack of he
disease with its after.risks of bron tho
pneumonia, middle ear disease and
eye damage.
Measles uses up and saps the vial
ity OF the infant organism. 1t is for
this reason that the germs OF tuber
culosis find fertile field for operation
IN the exhausted stage following the
bronchO pneumonia of measles.
That the spread OF measles can be
controlled is not a fairy story bus a
solid, concrete fact based upon ob;er.
walton made in hospitals ana otner
institutions.
Measles is not an air-borne disease.
The apparent mysterious spread from
house TO house is due to simple and
eXplainable causes. When there Is
frequent contact between attendants
upon the sick and healthy children, in.
lection is almost sure to happen.

we have reason to expect good re-
SUITS in the future. From now un-
til Easter time the educational
