these days. this relic of barbaric belief still per-
sists as one of the most serious and vital obsta-
cles in the way of health officers when they en-
deavor to attack and break up an epidemic OF
measles, whooping cough or chickenpox.
Measles and whooping cough are no more
necessary to the growth of child than snake
bite. If you can postpone measles until you are
grown. your chances Of altogether escaping the
disease will compare favoraby with your chanc-
es against the other contagious diseases that are
not considered children's diseases.
Measles and whooping cough are much less
dangerous to an adult than they are to child
The child is peculiarly susceptible to the compli-
cations of so-called childrens diseases. These
little diseases are capable of inflicting serious
and permanent damage upon the great vital or
gans the heart, the lungs, the kidneys and the
BRAIN They are the very jackals OF diseases,
tracing down and pointing out the prey to the
lions that work in partnership with them, as DR..
Woods Hutchinson so aptly puts tit is follow
ing measles or whooping cough when the irrita-
ted and weakened membranes are sick from these
harmless chidrens ills that the horrible germs
of tuberculosis (consumption) or pneumonia, or
rheumatism get their hold
"Of course children will frequently have these
little diseases and escape death, but many will
bear scars which they will carry to their graves.
On the average about 260 children die from meas
les alone in Indiana every year, to say nothing OF
the cases of bronchitis, pneumonia, chronic
throat troubles, nasal catarrh chronic eye trou-
bles particularly of the lids and conjunctiva
(pink eye), styes, ulcers of the cornea chronic
discharges from the ear, perforations of the ear
drum and Deafness that result directly from a
simple case of harmless, snuffly, "measly" little
measles. Why should we let children run such
chances? If they are lucky enough to escape the
more evident results, they practically always get
behind in school, are pale and weak after the at
tack, lose their appetite, and have various forms
of Indigestion Stomach trouble) and bowel
trouble"

Do You Neglect Your
Machinery?

The machinery Of the body needs to
be well oiled, kept in good condition
Just as the automobile, steam engine or
bicycle. Why should the human neglect
his own machinery more than that of
his horse or his engine? Yet most peo-
pie do neglect themselves. To clean
the system at least once q week is TO
practice preventive measures. You
will escape many ills and clear up the
coated tongue, the sallow complexion,
the dull headache, the lazy liver, if you
will take pleasant laxative made up
Of the May-apple, juice Of the leaves
Of aloe, root Of ialap, and called
Pleasant Pellets. You can obtain at
almost any drug store in this country

Think About This
Danger in Measles

Measles are dangerous and preventable. There
are thousands of Indiana children who will carry
the impairments left by measles with them to the
grave. The Indiana State Board of Health is
asking the state to wake up to the danger lurking
in this malady. Parents, read the warning
which the health authorities have issued
More than 1000 cases of measles were re-
ported to the Indiana State Board of Health
during the month of January with 80 deaths and
in February more than 5000 cases with 10 coun-
ties not reporting. 1t can safely be said that
there were thousands of cases not reported in
either month. Many parents consider measles
so trivial that they do not call doctor report
the case as the law and the Golden Rule direct
shall be done.
"The usual idea of measles is that it is a
harmless affection which every child must have
like teething, stubbed toes. and dirty face, and
the sooner it is over WITH the better. It was not
great while ago that one frequently heard the
expression, Well, suppose we might just as well
let Willie and May go over to Jones's and catch
the measles and be done with it. It seems to be
real mild sort that the Jones's children have

Indiana when we were children.
