Measles are prevalent in Ameri-

The total number of cases reported
to the health authorities by physi-
clans to date Is approximately fiji

opinion that other cases Of the d.

have not yet been called to attend

Measles are productive Dr. Cham

pneumonia and ear troubles, as well
as other serious complications, and
for this reason the health authorities
are asking every parent in Americas
to cooperate with them in The effort
to stamp out the disease. This can
best be accomplished by the isola-
ton Of patients, that is by Keeping
children who live IN houses where
the disease exist away from school,
church and other places where they
come in contact with other children.
A rule adopted long ago by the
shcool board here prohibits any child
attending school in whose family
measles exist, but in cases where the
presence Of the disease has not been
actually reported to the authorities,
this rule has not always been OH
served by parents, and the school
authorities being in ignorance Of Tn .
presence of the disease, cannot en-
force it. The health authoritios,
