Yes, Slip His Ears apd Silt His

measles. A neighbor now has two
children down with it. Don't you

Answer-Your advisors are q
singularly ignorant lot, for this late
day. They evidently imagine
measles is q Joke and something
good for a child. Measles kills
three times as many children az
scarlet fever does and two<thirds
as many as diphthefia does. Any
one who would advise or sanction
the deliberate infection of . child
with measles ought to be given IL
years in prison, whether ignorant
or just vicious. Such ideas are hor-
rible and revolving t0the mind Of
any ne who loves children. In fair
ness to the helpless victims Of such
crimes, you as a mother should re-
port to the health officer Of youl
community every person who gives
| such advice.

Protecting Australian Animals.

At the present rate Of extermina-
tion Austraiia's marsupials will have
practically disappeared within 20
years, says DR.. Calm Mackenzie. in
al article in the Melbourne Argus
The revival Of shipping after the war
with IFS opportunities for exporters. is
giving point to his warning, and ii is
probable that some steps will be
taken to control the export OF live
specimens Of Australian fauna or OF
skins.
At present the protection Of Aus
tralian animals is purely state mat
ter. though the commonwealth has
customs regulations prohibiting the
export Of certain skins and OF the
feathers Of specified birds. The
unique character OF Australian mar
suDials has long been recognized by
the geological gardens Of the world.
and 1t Is not likely that legitimate
