MEASLES LIKELY
TO BE EPIDEMIC
\ IN STATE SOON
State He aIth Department
Warns Against Danger
of Pneumonia As After
Effect of Disease.

Reports received by the state
health department indicate measles
ia likely to become epidemic over
fhe state within the next few
weeks. There has been no wide
spread outbreak of measles WITHIN
the last year or two, and as re-
suit, there are now thousands OF
susceptible children. This will tend
to make the disease spread more
rapidly.
Attention is directed to the fact
that measles is by no means a
harmless disease, as is supposed by
many. While it rarely results II
nncomplicated, it is followed, in a
certain percentage of cases, by a
form of pneum onia which Is exc
ceedingly dangerous. Many deaths
occur from this cause every year,
especially among infants under five
wears of age For this reason, par
ents should be particularly careful
to prevent the exposure of child
rem as far as possible, and should
under no circumstances, voluntari-
~ expose them, as has often been
done in the past. While practical
.
soon or later, the longer the dis
ease is put off, the less the danger.
Even in cases which recover, the
child is sometimes left with i'm
paired eyes, ear trouble, or in a
weakened condition which renders
him susceptible to other diseases.
The most important part in the
recognition of measles is the early
recognition of cases, that they may
be promptly isolated, and the quar-
antine of persons who have been
exposed until it can be determined
whether they will develop the dis
ease. Measles is most contagious
in the earliest stages, before the
eruption appears on the body.
When the disease is present in
the community, every child should
be carefully examined every day.
Reddened or irritated eyes, or the
early symptoms of a cold, are Of
ten the first signs of measles. In
the majority of cases an eruption
appears on what Is known as the
''soft palate of the roof of the
mouth, which may frequently be
seen q day or two eruption APP
pears on the body.
1t is especially important that
school children be carefully
watched. If they are examined by
the teachers of school nurses every
day, experience has shown thai
measles can be more easily con-
trolled with the schools open thar
with them closed.
Once the child has measles, il
should be remembered that, with.
out proper care, the disease may be
followed by pneumonia. For this
reason exposure to cold and damp
ness should be avoided, and tht
patient should not be allowed to gt
out of the house too soon.
Every case should be reported t.
the local health officer, even wher,
a physician has not been called
This is duty which every either
owes to the public, and failure t.
carry it out may result in the dealt
