Your Health
Scarlet Fever
(By DR.. II. IL. Bishop

This is the time Of year when
let fever usually becomes most pre-
valent.
February and March are the or
binary months when this disease
reaches the height of its incidence.
1t is therefore. up to parents, ply
nurses and health officers to be
time. Every precaution possible
should be taken to avoid epidemics
and to prevent the spread of this
disease.
The Illinois Health News lists a
few simple rules that will materially
help in preventing scarlet fever:
ONE. Spend as much time as pos
sible in the open air. This rule ap-
plies especially to school children.
TWO. Keep bedrooms well venti-
lated at night.
THREE. When a cold is not
we'll. even though its condition c
not seem serious, cali a physician
at once.
FOUR. Strictly avoid close con-
tact with other persons who are SUI
fering from colds or other respira-
tory diseases. This rule also applies
especially to school children.
FIVE. Keep sick children com
pIetely away from the well ones
whether the illness seems serious
or not.
SIX. Maintain the highest sanl-
tary precautions in the sickroom, al
lowing nothing to come from it with
out thorough cleansing or disinfec-
ton. =,
SEVEN. Carefully observe all
personal hygiene rules.
1t is usually easy to determine
how you caught scarlet fever or
any other disease. After II
down with an attack, he a remem-
Der having visited or played with a
friend who wasn't feeling well.
A little sane thinking would lead
people to be careful about associat-
ing with sick persons, whether the
latter are in bed or not.
Mothers must be extremely carefui
that children are kept away from
sick people. Also must they be par
ticularly careful not to allow sick
children under their care to play
with we'll children. 49,.
Immediate care should be
in the case Of every single cold run
ming nose or sore throat.
