SAYS WHooPING COUGH DANGEROUS AS DIPHTHERIA

State Health Commissioned Stanley H. Osborn issued a statement Tuesday in which he says the whoopinA cough is nearly as fatal as diphtheria.
 The statement says that during the five years from 1917 to 1921 both in the disease reported in the state or an average, of 2,44t per year for the pe- riod. There were S05 deaths during the five years, and the average rate of fatalities were 6.5 per cent. The low est death rate was in 1921 when it was 4.7 and the highest in 1918 when it stood 9.S. Dr. Osborn makes this com ment on the figures which are contain ed in his statement: "The necessity for placing placards on houses where whoop- ing cought is present is to an extent revealed by the table given showing that between 1917 and 1881. from five to ten per cent of the whooping cough cas- es reported to the state health depart ment died"
 The public health council recom- mends that the following precautions be taken to prevent the spreading of wheop ing cough: Isolate the whooping cougf case; protect other children from whoop ing cough; bring before parents the dire consequences that result if child witt whooping cough is neglected.
 Whooping cough, under a resolution passed November 3, is included among
 the diseases which require the placard ing of the room or apartment where thu case exists. In a general statement Dr l Osborn says: Tt is rather startling t notice, under the fatality rate Cor death
 per 100 cases reported) that there ar nearly as many deaths per 100 case
 as there are from diphtheria, indieatfni
 with great eleaTness how fatal the re ported cases of whooping cough are com pared with the reported cases of diph
 theria. At the same time, the aveIag
 number of deaths from whoopiRg cougl
 during the last five years has been ia
 above measles or scarlet fever"
