are deaf on account OF measles.
The first sign of ear trouble may be
a running ear. In such cases the
service OF competent physician is
the first necessity. No time should
be lost IN operating on the ear OF
the patient il there are signs OF dan
ger. The operation is a slight one
done with a small instrument for
the purpose and is almost painless,
but 1t is essential that 1t be done In
time.
As yet there is no other practical
way Of preventing measles except
by keeping children who are well
away from those suffering from the
disease. II should be remembered
that measles is catching before the
eruption appears. Teach your child
to wash his or her hands and faces
keep their noses clean, brush their
teeth and when they are sick keep
away from other children, and when
the are well keep them away from
other children with a cough

MEASLES OFTEN CAUSE MUCH
TROUBLE IN AFTER YEARS
improper Attention TO Chill
d~n Afflicted With The
Measles.

(By DR.. A. r. Lewis. State Health
COMMISSIONER
1t is unfortunately true tba,
the measles is still prevalent in
okiahoma. The deaths from this
cause are greater than is generally
known AS a matter of fact mea.
sles is one of the worst in its cum.
ulative results of the diseases n
which children are subject. II Is
a serious disease in itself and is
likely to have complications far more
serious. Something may be done by
health Officers and physicians TO-
ward protecting children against the
measles. but even more can be ac-
complished by parents. The first
step Is for parents to realize that
measles is not trivial disease.
When diphtheria and scarlet fever
appear parents take alarm. Quar-
antines are demanded, health reg.
ulations put into force and schools
closed. The same parents often
make the serious mistake of suppos-
ing measles trivial. and a disease
that children must have anyway,
and the sooner the better" Such
a view point exposes children to SER
ious, often fatal illness. It is not
at all necessary that a child should
have measles. The child who does
NOT have them will be healthier and
stronger than the child who does.
1t is especially important that chill
dren under seven years OF age must
be protected in every way from the
measles.
The unfortunate feature Of mea-
sles lies in the complications which
often result. In children under sew
en- years of age there is danger that
the teeth may become affected some
times causing ailments that will be
handicap for life.
The biggest danger of complica-
tions arising from measles is to be
found in the ear. Just why poison
from measles attacks the ear is not
known but that it does is often
shown. Many times the result is
deafness in later life.
Probably one in ten deaf persons

MACADAM ROADS ARE URGED

]. Robert Gillian of Ardmore says
that macadam roads will solve this
states hard surfaced road problem
in the most economical way. Mr..
Gillian says that in his experience a
macadam road is just as good as
some more expensive hard surfaced
roads. and can be laid at a much
less cost than can concrete or brick.
AS proof OF his contention he cites
the states OF Kentucky and Pennsly-
vania that have been using this tyne
of road with satisfaction for more
than fifteen years.

ness Men.

Maysville business men are today
complaining considerably about the an
nouncement just made by the railroad
company that beginning with this
morning the Maysville accommodation
between this city and Cincinnati
would carry no express or parcel post
packages.
This announcement means that the
small towns between Maysville and
Cincinnati cannot receive but one ex-
press service a day from this city and
merchants point out that it works
hardship against local merchants and
manufacturers. The only local eX-
press service small towns between
Maysville and Cincinnati can now re-
ceive from Maysville is late in the af-
ternoon.
Feeling that this change is working
a great hardship not only on the
Maysville merchants and manufacture
ers but also on the people in this
stretch of territory that desire to pur-
chase in Maysvile and have deliveries
made promptly, the local business
men today began the circulation of a
petition asking the railroad authori-
ties to reconsider this step and give
back the morning express and parcel
post service. This petition will be
presented promptly and local dealers
hope for immediate action by the rail
road people.
