kidneys, or eyes and ears.
To avoid measles, keep away
from persons who have colds. An
derson and Goldberger, of the u

vice, have demonstrated that
measles is caused by a filtrable
virus or ultra-microscOpic organ
ism which is thrown off in the nose
and throat secretions OF the in
fected individual. Outside of the
body, it does not remain virulent
long.
This malady may be contracted
only during the period of catarrh-
al symptoms and until the cessa-
ton of abnormal mucuS membrane
secretions-a minimum period of
seven days, or two days before to
five days after appearance of the
rash.
The secret of controlling meas
les centers in an early recognition
of the disease. The first danger
signal is often a slight elevation OF
temperature. This is followed by
| congestion of the eyes, catarrha.

ruption on the lining membrane o.

New Fish Trade Established

As a result of work begun last
spring as a part Of the efforts to
save meat for war purposes, and
participated in comparatively by
the United States Food Admins
tration, and the United States
Bureau of Fisheries, over 100000
pounds of fish have been shipped
from the Gulf coast of Florida to
Nashville, Louisville, Indianapo-
lis, and other cities in the Middle
West. Sea catfish, mullet, Sleeps
head and other varieties Of fish
hitherto unknown in the Middle
West, many miles from the sea-
coast, have been introduced and
have gained foothold that is ex-
pected to be permanent.
Arrangements between ship
pers, packers, railroads, and deal
crs at the catching points and at
the markets have been so perfect
ed that the distribution Of the
fish from the Gulf coast soon is ex-
rected to need no further chap
croning" by Government agen-
cies, but will be on an established
and regular business basis.

Charity Begins at Home

The Children's Home Society,
Florida's Greatest Charity, pro-
poses to raise $4,000 during the
month Of December. The direct
ors are asking that the contribu-
tons be made in Liberty Bonds
and War Stamps; so, | am asking
those who live in DeSoto county
to send their contributions to me
or mail them to the Directors at
Jacksonville. | was thinking that,
perhaps, there are those who do
not feel like they could give as
much as $500 for a stamp, and, If
they would give what they could,
/ could combine the small contris
buttons and turn them into Wa
Stamps. However, if you can
give fifty-dollar bond or one
hundred-dollar bond, do it.
DeSoto county is asked to con-
tribute $500 for this cause; so,
please give what you can, and it
will be turned over to the proper
authorities. Do not forget the
drive is on now, and ! would like
to have all contributions in hand
by the last Of the month Of De
