MEASLES EPIDEMIC
THROUGHOUT STATE

Never before in the history of the
state, according to DR.. w. II. kellogg
secretary of the California State
Board of Health, have meascles and
German measles been so prevalent
During 1917 there were 23,500 cases
of these diseases reported to the State
Board of Health, and during January
and February of this year no less
than 5000 cases of these diseases have
been reported. While nearly all cases
have been of very mild type, occa-
sionally the disease has appeared in
a very severe form.
Since most fatal cases of measles
occur in children under 5 years of
age, parents should take special care
N protecting very young children from
becoming infected. The best way to
control measules is to isolate all cases
as'soon as suspicious symptoms occur.
The chief difficulty in the control Of
the disease lies in the fact that it is
more catching in the early stages, be-
fore any rash appears. Prompt iso-
lation, however, helps TO reduce the
prevalence of the disease.
The State Board of Health does not
advise closing the schools during an
epidemic of measles, provided a sys-
tenn of inspection of school children is
maintained. The best results are OBJ
tanned through keeping the schools
open and excluding all pupils who
show any symptoms of illness, such
as fever, sore throat or the symptoms
of common cold.
The regulations of the Board require
the isolation of all cases of measles
and German meascles. Health Off
GERS and citizens should comply with
these regulations in order that the
wide prevalence of these diseases may
be reduced. The presence of measls
among our soldirs will not help to win
the war.

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 30.-The Ma

collected $1,000, 900 in North Dakota

Lation.
4 The Consumers United stores com

farmers.
Only $1,000 Of the $4,000 capital
Itock Of the Consumers United Stores

Eligible to Hold State
Office.

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 30.-1n reply
to charges preferred by State Super
intendent of Public Instruction N. c.
Macdonald to the effect that his OPP
ponent, Minnie ]. Nelson Of Valley
City, cannot qualify for the office
which she seeks, Attorney General
William LANCER, under date of Octo-
Der 80. says:
II am Of the opinion that the por-
ton Of Sec. 1105 of the compiled laws
Of 1918 which adds to the qualifca-
tons for the office of superintendent
OF public instruction Is unconstitu-
uonal, and that you, possessing the
qualifications for such offices found in
said Sec. 50 Of the constitution, can
qualify under the laws Of this state
for the office Of state superintendent
Of public instruction."
Miss Nelson's friends consider this
an effective answer to the only argu-
ment which the Nonpartisan admins

been forged. He has been captured at

Two Petoskey stores paid out more
than 800 on these checks in November
A Grsyling store was also caught, as
were several concerns in Mancelona
The checks were drawn on the First
National Bank, OF Boyne City, and were
made out in such a way as to indicate
they had been given in payment for
goods bought at some farmers sale.
Mancelona officials rounded up the
fellow with the aid of tips given by the
Petoskey officers. He is reported to
have confessed. He used the name Of
Jesse Arnold on most Of his checks
He was taken to Bellaire where he will
be held for trial.
