CHILDREN'S DISEASES
ARE TOO PREVALENT
Measles Not a Necessary AT
Fiction Nor One to Be
Lightly Regarded.
By DIR. JOHN W. DUKE
Estate Commissioner

During recent weeks Oklahoma has
suffered from an unusually severe cpl
demic of measles. IT is not possible
In the present status OF medicinal sci
cnce entirely 10 eliminate measles.
But the extent and general prevalence
Of this disease could be greatly re-
duccd
one reason for the widespread
prevalence of measles is that too many
parents do not realize how serious a
disease II is They are apt to regard
Il as a trivial affliction OF childhood.
But during March there were In this
Htatc 20 deaths directly caused by
measles while measles was directly
contributoTy to l6 more deaths
rhis is a heavy toll for disease which
Is known for morbidity rather than
mortality. These figures do not tell
the entire tale. for it is certain that
measles was indirectly responsible for
many other deaths. There Is no ques-
ton that it left many little victims in
weakened condition so that they
we're more readily affected by other
diseases, especially pneumonia. The
number of deaths from measles was
far more than the number normally
caused by smallpox. Moreover the mum
Der of cases is not decreasing, but in
crcasing 1t is time parents awoke TO
the seriousness of the situation.
Not Necessary Affliction.
Measles is to n marked degree "a

No preventive against II is as yet
known. To protect their children par
ents should take every precaution to
guard them against infection, and the
only way to do this is to keep them
away from those who have the mea-
slcs. II cannot too often be empha-
sized that measles is not a trivial dis
ease. Neither is it an affliction neces-
sary to childhood. The old idea that
every child must have the measles
some time and that there was no great
harm in exposing it has TO a certain
degree passed away, but parents are

he Is more liable to attacks of other
diseases. Children who have measles

who have not had the disease: chill
dren who are free from the disease
should not be permitted to mingle
with those who have II. II Is esti-
mated that there were from one to
two million cases of measles in this
country last year and 1900 deaths.

swer to mo Jews Need Apply"
On the one hand, he must avoid
giving justification for the persist
ence of the policy that is implied.
On the other hand, and over and
above all else, the life of the Jew,
irrespective of 'No Jews Need APP
ply" and all it's consequences, must
be an affirmation of the true, the
noble, the holy. The Jew who Of
tends must remember the truth,
however deep be the injustice that
underlies: that nine hundred and
ninety-nine guiltless Jews will not
save the thousandth, but that one
guilty Jew suffices to condemn nine
hundred and ninety-nine more.
The Jew is adjudged not by the
many that are worthy, but con-
demned because of the few that are
unworthy. The Jew is appraised
not on the level of his highest and
best, but of his lowest and mean
est. The noble Jew is hailed as
EXCEPTIONAL; the ignoble Jew &C
copied as typical. Woe unto the
son of the House of Israel who by
reason of misdeed adds to the bur-
den borne by all the sons and
daughters of his people.
If it be alleged, as | have heard
it alleged, that mo Jews Need APP
ply" is adopted as a policy on relig-
ious grounds, we can but grimly
smile at this defling misuse Of the
term religious. If it be offered in
excuse that the policy results from
prejudice towards the Jews as a
people, we must patiently hope for
the outcome of those Illuminating
processes that shall light up the
dark places of the earth's hatreds.
If it be insisted that it is inconveni-
ent to employ Jews in mercantile
institutions because of the numer-
GUS holydays of the Jew, then must
the Jew resolve that such holydays
as are his must be observed in a
spirit that shall grant him album
dant spiritual compensation for the
losses which holydays entail, and
the Jews must dare inwardly to re-
solve that every day of the Jew
shall be holy day.

times is, that certain offices in New.

Governor Advocates
Raising of Cattle

or Dorsey reached Savannah this morn
ing for a stay of two days. Shortly
before noon he addressed a convention
Of land owners and cattle raisers at the
Hotel Savannah. This afternoon he will
address a Red Cross meeting and will
speak again. In his address today he
urged that more cattle be raised in
Georgia. He had been surprised, he
said, to find that Georgia was eighth
or ninth among the sheep raising
states He thought this should be
remedied. Georgia must stop import
ing so much meat, he said. The gov
ernor Endorsed the dipping of cattle.
The owners of cut-over and unproduc-
tive lands in Georgia have a great duty
before them, the governor declared.
