Hygiene and Progress.

(By DR.. Geo. o. Jarvis, the Sani-
tarium, Ashland.)
June 10, 1917.
To the People Of Ashland
Measles is a disease which is pre-
ventable by proper hygienic precau-
tions; hence the epidemic of measles
which has recently visited the Rogue
River alley shows lack of such pre-
cautions.
For town which sets up to be
health resort, as Ashland does, to
permit many cases of measles to go
unquarantined is, to say the least, a
great mistake. No health-seeker
would wish to live in town in which
such an elementary rule of hygiene as
quarantine for measles is not OBJ
served.
In certain epidemics Of measles the
mortality is high; in others 1t is
quite low; but in all epidemics there
is considerable percentage of those
attacked who have sequelae which
are both dangerous and troublesome
The chief consequences of measles
are:
1. Diseases of the eye, ear, nose
and throat.
2. Incurable disorders Of the
glands of internal secretion, which
are the thyroid, thymus, pituitary
body, portions Of the pancreas, and
the so-called adrenal bodies.
These glands of internal secretion
are essential for the nutrition Of the
body as a whole and especially for the
development of the nervous system;
hence it is that many children who
have had measles are less intelligent
than they otherwise would have been.
The writer notified the local board
of health of every case Of infectious
disease occurring in his practice, but
in no instance did the board Of health
institute proper hygienic precautions
as to quarantine and terminal disin-
fection of the houses in which the
patients lived. Since 1t became evil
dent that the local board Of health
was either inefficient or negligent,
the writer quarantined cases Of in
fectious diseases directly through the
police department and attended per-
sonally to terminal disinfection.
This is a matter which is Of vital
concern to the community, and the
community should see to it that the
health officers perform their duty or
, give way to someone who has both
, the knowledge and backbone to per-
, form that duty.
Subjoined is a copy of letter re-
ceived from the state health Officer
t and also a copy of the Oregon state
regulations in accordance with which
g quarantine for measles should be es
d tablished This letter was in repl!

FEATHERS AND
FLOWERS MIXED
TO G { THE R

A few days. ago Dr. Heraty OF, Bloom
ington came to Lancaster with ii.
Bremmer of Fennimore, who had been
taking treatments for mental trou-
BILE at a Dubuque private santtarium.
Mr.. Bremmer was to remain in the
custody of the sheriff over night and
be conducted to Mendoza the next day.
About l o'clock in the morning MI.
Hvmer heard a noise in the detention
room on the upper floor. Upon going
there he found that Bremmer had
taken three bags of -four placed in the
room for storage, and mixed it with
a quantity of water. He then ripped
open three pillows and mixed the
feathers thoroughly with the dough-
This combination he threw all over
himself. the room and the outside OF
the window. He seemed to think the
deed very funny, which in way il
was.
Bremmer, who is 80 years old, was
taken to Mendoza. He was treated III

.SNAPPY TALKS
ON ADVERTISING
BY NELS DARLING

Advertising pays-if it is the right
kind. The best medium for the retail
merchant is the local newspaper, but
many of you give the matter little or
no attention. Advertising with some
merchants is a side issue, donation
to the paper; considered as a liability
instead of great big asset.
know that some of you fellows will
spend two hours and half trying to
sell a twenty dollar bill of goods, and
on the other hand will give a regret
ted ten minutes to writing mighty
poor advertisement that costs you five
dollars. Be honest, you are just too
tired or too negligent to make this
five do some work. For this amount
you can talk forcibly to a couple OF
thousand people in a way that Will
attract them and make them know
that you are selling the goods they
want at the right prices.
Any merchant who can talk his
goods to a customer can learn to write
advertisements with the pulling pow
er. Bear this in mind-your adver-
tisements should always do these
three things: First-attract attention
Second-hold attention and create IN
terest. Third-leave an impression
that will last for some time.
An advertisement about one article
that is we'll described and priced is
worth more than an advertisement
about dozen things touched upon in
a lot of generalities.
Most people of the community know
what line of business you are in II
you have been in town six months
Do not waste space and money telling
them what they already know. Ii you
handle stoves, tell them what kind,
what you claim for them, what ad-
vantages they have over other stoves,
and the selling price. Do not crowd
your space. Make your advertise
.ments talk-tell something the people
will Lp ir'gr.: ID in knowing.

CHIPPEWA FALLS
WOMANDEFRAUDEO

Mrs. John Thorpe, who resides on
a farm below Lake Halle, in Chip
pewa county, was in Chippewa Falls
to see Chief of Police Flaherty and
get out warrant for the arrest Of the
three men who called at her place
and took from her one hundred and
seventy-five dollars They arrived at
her place in an automobile on Thurs
day, claimed to be eye specialists,
and had heard that her eyes were
poor. and for $500 they could make
her sight perfect. They claimed to
have worked wonders in Chippewa
Falls. She said she did not have 5000
but had SITS, which she gave them.
They quickly pocketed the money, got
into their automobile, told her they
would see her later, and started in the
direction of Eau Claire and later to
Chippewa Falls, but not having the
car number or any way Of inentifying
them her search thus far has been III
vain.
Here is another good argument
why people should keep their money
in the bank instead of in the house.
Someone knew that Mrs. Thorpe had
the money and plans were laid to get
it away from her. Cases like this
are an everyday occurrence and yet
the people never learn T

SENATE FOODBILL
DRASTIC NE ASSURE

Enactment Of the food control bill
into law-the most drastic measure
ever adopted for republic-depends
now upon a dozen cOnferees Of house
and senate.
BY 81 to 6, the senate late Saturday
passed The measure, after weeks OF
bitter fighting and heated debate. It's
action represented a radical deviation
from the house bill. q
The senate provided:
A food administration board Of
three members-instead of the
one-man board that Herbert G.
Hoover was to constitute. One#of
: the men must be a practical farm
err.
Government control of coal from
the mouth of the mine to the con-
sumner. y
Bill Prohibits Whiskey ;
Communicating Of all bonded
liquor, the government to pay a
''fair" price for, it and prohibition
of spirits distillation.
! Minimum price Of 81 bushel
for highest grades of wheat until
July 1, 1919, with prices of other
grades in proportion.
Appropriations Of more than
$50, 900, OOO-$1O, 100000 of it for
government purchase and distribu-
ton of nitrate soda to help slim
ulate crops.
Conferences between representatives
and senators began today. These
conferences will shape the eventual
scope of the bill The house must
accept all senate. amendments or a
compromise must be reached.
A big part of the fight will center
around the liquor question. The house
bill forbade use of food for manufac-
ture of all intoxicants. The senate
bill permits manufacture of wine and
beer. This is expected to be the prin-
cipal stumbling block.
