ly contagious fever.
The first signs of measles are
sneezing, running at the nose
and a slight cough the eyes are
red and watery and the child
complains Of the light hurting
them.
II is during this period that
the disease is most contagious.
The child appears TO have a cold.
The mother who sends her child
to school or permits Il to play in
the street at this time helps TO
spread the disease to other chill
dren.
In the beginning there is very
little fever. In a short time the
skin becomes very hot, the
tongue becomes covered by a
furry coating. and the mouth
and throat are very red. On
the fourth day. red spots begin
TO appear on the forehead and
face and soon spread downward
over the entire body. These
spots collect into groups and
form large red blotches.
As soon as a child shows the
first signs of this disease. that
Is. sneezing. coughing and wa
tering Of the eyes, be sure TO
keep the child indoors, away
from other children.
The discharges from the
child's nose and throat are very
dangerous to healthy persons
who have not the disease.
You should send for the doc
tor at once. He will advise pro-
per treatment. Put the child to
bed in an airy darkcned room
Give il only light food. Keep its
bowels freely open.
Keep the child in bed a few
days after its temperature has
become normal.
As soon as the rash has faded,
The skin begins to peel. This
peeling may last from several
days TO a few weeks. according
To the severity of the disease.
When the skin begins TO peel
the body may be oiled or bathed
In warm water.
BE sure TO keep the eyes. ears.
~o"'h and nostrils perfectly
BE most careful of the child
when II is recovering from the
disease. II is during this per-
.od that the most dangerous af-
ter affects may set in.
4 child IN with measles loses
much of its strength and falls an
Easy prey TO pneumonia and 9TH
n dread diseases.
The kidneys may be upset and
may develop chronic diseases i'm
life.
The eyes and ears often be-
'ome inflamcd. In some cases
his may lead to loss of sight or
nearing.
Keep your healthy child away
rom other children that have

Although most people believe
hat measles is less dangerous

Remember that. as soon as the

PIGsKIN is WORTH SAVING,
Leather Shortage Makes Experimental
Use of Substitutes Important.

Louisville Courier.Journal: The great
shortage of leather is a serious matter
Substitutes for sole leather, much adver-
tised as superior, are in the experiment
a stage. Some of them, undoubtedly,
are not as good as leather. Concealed in
shoes under leather, pasteboard and
other almost wholly worthless substi-
tutes for shoe leather are, used. All
leather products are selling at prices
decidedly embarrassing to persons who
must use them. In the meantime pig
ed as a leather supply.
The general custom is to leave the
skin upon the hog when 1t is butchered.
The impression is or has been that il is
necessary to retain the skin upon hams
and bacon to cure the meat properly.
In the stress of war and leather short
age means should be found to cure
hams and bacon without the skin, which
is not eaten and is wasted except inso-
far as preservative of the meat for
which it serves as a container during
the curing process.
Pigskin is a highly valuable and dura.
bic leather. 1t is especially good for sad.
dies, to judge from the values set upon
saddles described as being made of pig
skin. The number Of hogs produced by
modern feeding in a given length of
time is greater than the number pro.
duced under old.fasbioned methods,
which allowed longer period for the
development Of the hog to maturity.
The big eightmonthold sold at or above
200 pounds is the aim of hog raisers,
