MEASLES INJECTING
ALL PARTS OF STATE

Measles is more prevalent now than
it has ever been in the history Of
California. During the first three
months of this year 8505 cases of the
disease have been reported to the Cal
ifornia State Board of Health-twice
IS many as were reported during the
whole year of 1916. The disease is not
confined to any one section of the
state. 1t is sweeping through the big
cities and the rural districts, from
Shasta to San Diego, from the noun
tains to the sea. There is not sin
Gle county from which cases have not
been reported, with the exception CT
some of the snowbound districts in
the high mountains.
Measles has a way of appearing
in widespread outbreaks with more OF
less regularity. The last big epidemic
in California was in 1915, when 49, Ia
cases were reported to the State Board
of Health. In 1914 there were 1852
cases and last year there were 426S
cases. The cases reported by months
during 1917 are as follows: January,
1905; February, 1905; March, 1884.
Since measles is one of the most
highly communicable of all infections
diseases, it is difficult to control. 1t
is most easily contracted before the
eruption appears and before the ma
ture of the disease is recognized. 1t
is not air-borne, but is spread by
discharges from the mouth and nose
in the very early stages of the dis
ease. If all school children were to
he examined each morning before en-
tering school, and if all of those show
ing symptoms of common colds were
excluded from attendance, it might
Re possible to keep the schools open
during epidemics.
Measles is often fatal in children
under five years of age and on this
account special protection should be
given to very young children. 1t is
a mistake to expose a child to the
disease so that he may "get 'em and
have e mover with" The after re-
suits may affect the health of the in

QUIT MEAT If
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take Glass of Salts if Your
Back Hurts or Bladder
Troubles You.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well known authority. Meat
forms uric acid, which eXcites the
kidneys, they become ovcI"orkcd
from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons
from the blood, then we get sick;
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel n dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts or
if the urine is sloudy, offensive, fall
of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation OF scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy; take tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast and in a
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimu-
late the kidneys, also to neutralize
the avids in urine so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which
everyone should take now and then
to kee the kidneys clean and active
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications. 8
