FIRST SYMPTOM GIVEN
Sneezing, Coughing Child Danger to
Every Other Child Within Five Feet
of 1t He Says

AS there are quite few cases Of
measles in various parts Of our City,
it might. be we'll for me to say few
words regarding this very contagious
disease of childhood, and one that IS
not entirely harmless, says Dr.. Louis
Z. Fouil,s, City Health Office.
Tbs disease is caused by gem s.
small! that it passes through our I'm
est porcelain filters, hence we can
not see t with our most powerful!
compound microscopes.
These germs are contained II the
mouth ami nose discharges of the pat
lent, and can be conveyed to a dis
tance of or ) feet by the d:oplets
expelled during coughing CT sneez.ng.
Measles Is the most highly infectious
disease of childhood, and most every
person, who has not had the disease.
will contract it after exposure. The
period of incubation after such eX-
posure, is from Z to IA days. The
first symptoms to De noticed aGe those
Of an ordinary "cold in the head, VITA
sneezing, coughing, running at the
nose and red eyes. There IS more or
less fever present a few hours after
these signs begin. After or . days
cf these symptoms, the eruption ap-
2paars on The forehead and soon spread
over the bedy. This general skin erup-
ton lasts from to days, as a rue,
ard is quickly followed by a fine seal
ing of the skin.
While measles, in a way, IS SIM
pie and rather mild form of disease,
vet it often causes serious compl ca
t;ons, such as pneumonia. kidney DIS
eases, carache and running ears, es-
poc:ally in poorly nourished children
One, attack of the disease renders tnt
person inmure for life.
In all cases of measles or suspected
measles, The first thing to % IS 70
call in doctor. Prompt and careful
treatment may not only save much
trouble, )ut expense as well.
The most infectious period is when
the symptoms of an ordinary cold II
the head" appear.
If your child has cold, keep 1t
in the house and away from all otner
children. Dent let your children play
with or visit another child who has a
.cold in the head" 1t may be the firs1
symptoms Of measles. Any child with
a so called cold, should be promptly
excluded from schoo! and kept under
observation fer few days.
If parsnts and Others were more
particular ABOUT these matters, many
cases coald be prevented. Remember
that '.eo!d in the head" is very often
the first symptom Of mora serious
disease.
DONG ,c: your children spread dis
ease to y5ur neighbours children. al
bv the same tcken. don't !e. your
nei.hoar's children pass some disease
over 10 yours!
The s:.cczing, coughing child IS =

in mind. Den. foo! with a "ccld in

SLICK EVASION
Copiah Buyers Use Technicality to
Avoid Paying Debt.

Hazlehurst, Miss, Nov. 16.--Judge
p. Nj. Miller, by special arrangement
with attorneys in the cases, heard
seven cases for the y. B. Colt Com
pany against persons in Copiah county
and decided III favor Of the company.
For three years the county court rec
ords have been full Of these cases
wherein men Of the county had pur-
chased acetylene lighting plants OF
the Colt Company. When their notes
fell due thye attempted TO evade pay
ment by pleading that the Colt Com
pany had not filed their certificate
OF character IN the secretary Of states
office at Jackon, and therefore could
not enforce the contracts or collect
the notes given for the plants. Judge
Miller last year gave a decision a..
gainst the Colt Company but last
night he reversed his former decision
and gave Judgment for the plaintiffs
against all who had bought the light
ing plants.
Circuit Court has been az work on
the case Of Sam Morton ct III against

POPULATION DECREASE
Speaker at State Bankers Meeting
Tells PaIpahle Truth.

The Clarion-Ledger Of Yesterday
contained the following extract Of a
4 speech made at the meeting Of Group
Three of the State Bankers Associa-
tion at jackson.
Barney E. Eaton, well known at
torney of Gulfport, discussed in his
speech the causes Of the loss in pop-
ulation which Mississippi suffered dur
ing the last decade, according 10 the
recent census. Mr.. Eaton spoke in
part as follows:
We all recall disappointment ex-
perienced by each particular town in
Mississippi when the census reports
were being given out and when it
was receiving notice of population
not only smaller than it had expected
but in many instances smaller than
the 1910 report. In many towns re-
counts were demanded and were ac-
tually had, but the recounts did not
change in any material way the to-
tails. Finally the whole story came
out, and we were informed that our
state had lost in population between
1910 and 1920 Approximately 1900
people. We were then told that this
loss IN population was due to the
emigration Of the negroes, and we
We're given to a bit Of reinsurance
over the hope that after all we hod
suffered no real loss in the valuable
part Of our population. At length
the complete reports were tabulated
and it now appears that our loss
in population is both substantial and
material. There was loss in the
negro population of, in round num-
bers, $4,000 The gain in the white
population was, in round numbers,
$1,000; but this gain was not at all
hopeful. The census discloses that
between the years Of twenty and for
ty-five the white population in Mis-
sissippi in 1920 was smaller than in
1910. This means that substantially
all the increase in the white popula-
tion of the state was under twenty
years of age. In other words, the
increase was children---children which
the state is educating at large ex-
pense, children that are being fitted
for useful, actice lifes, but children
who will, if the present thendency
continues, leave the state between the
ages of twenty and forty-five and
will give to other states the wealth
Of service and opportunity they are
taking away from Mississippi"
Mr. Eaton continued by showing
decreases in manufactures and fall
ing off in industries of all kinds. He
explained this by the laws which have
been passed by the state legislature
in the last decade which have been un-
favorable and even oppressivs upon
capital and the operations Of corpor-
ations. He blamed the fee system Of
the revenue sagent for the prosecution
of many industries and the driving Of
them from the state.

LYCEUM ATTRACTION
Efforts Being Made 70 Secure one for
Port Gibson.

Efforts are being made to secure a
lyceum attraction for Port Gibson, and
the efforts are meeting with success.
Port Gibson is badly in need If a
lyceum, and it is wonder that the
matter had not attracted the atten-
tion of the public before this. There
is nothing which adds more 20 d con-
munity than high-elass entertainments
Unfortunately there are many in
every town Of this size who do not APP
preciate lyceum course because they
have not been trained to enjoy such
things, but the coming generation can
be improved by an annual course Of
this kind.

The Ngw York Sun has the follow

ie Scliilligy in tliiatc. city recently.
4 There vas 0tfilie Schiilig, a young
AnIericap Soprano, TO hear IN the
Town Hall yesterday afternoon. Miss
Schillig made her debut here two
seasons ago and her performance then
was one Of the surprises Of the year,
Ii uncovered so fresh and strong a
voice, an initiative and personality
bound to carry her far. It was the
more interesting, therefore. to hear
her last year, then this, and to ap-
preciate in what ways she has grown
Yesterday, unfortunately, Hiss Schii-
lig's voice sounded tighter than pc
fore; sometimes q little roQgher, too.
Either a cold or TOO much singing
might have been temporarily respon-
sible. Bnt it Is a remarkable strong
Iiclear, ringing voice, TO which she has
learned te bring further resonance and
dimensions. She puts bold colors into
it. can lift it with dramatic, flashing
vieor, can hold it down to a lovely
warmth. She sings with her brains,
too. Slender, fugaeious songs in the
modern French style are not her best
medium, yet she can temper her tone
TO them. It is in bigger, stauneher
numbers that she is more impressive.
Misss Schillig began with a Bach
Evening Prayer: sang then the air
from AIphigenie in Taurie, which
Melanie Kurt used once to sing to a
