Oysters Are Safe During the Winter

toast triangles are used to garnish
oyster dishes.
oyster soup, oyster la king,
scalloped or cream oysters are
the more usual forms of service,
but everyone knows how to make
these. For variety try oysters
in these ways:
Oyster Devils
Drain large oysters; make a
sauce of the following ingredients
mixed well together:
One-third cup vinegar, one
tablespoon grated horse radish,
one tablespoon Worcestershire
sauce, two-thirds cup salad oil,
one teaspoon salt and one-half tea
spoon paprika.
Place the oysters in this sauce
and let stand for one hour.
Drain, roll in crumbs in beaten
egg and again in crumbs. Fry
In deep fat to golden brown.
Drain on soft paper. Serve at

"CHICAGO'S HEALTH"
Weekly Bulletin, Chicago Department
Of Health-Measles, by Herman
NJ. Bundesen, M. d. Com
missioner

Measles is a child killer, ranking
high among the diseases that take life
in early childhood. 1t is estimated
that measles was responsible for the
deaths Of 10000 children in the United
States in 1925.
In Chicago in 1926 there were So
deaths from measles, 48 of which were
in children under FIVE years of age.
Most deaths from measles occur under
five years of age. The disease is es-
pecial1y deadly under three, 20 per
cent Of all measles deaths occurring at
that age. IF your child is more than
three years old when he has the
measles, he has fifty times more
chance of getting we'll than if he had
had the disease when he was younger"
says DR.. Herman N. Bundesen, in his
latest bulletin.
1T is dsngsror: superstition or
belief that children must have measles.
Children no more need measles than
they do smallpox, diphtheria or any
other catching disease. Exposing chill
dren to measles is to risk their lives.
Measles is catching disease. IF
measles does not take life, it may
cripple. 1t is the pneumonia following
that makes measles SO Immediately
dangerous.
Measles may prepare the ground for
a later tuberculosis of the lungs. Weak
eyes and running ears often follow
measles. Most epidemics Of measles
occur during the cold months, prob
ably because of the crowded, indoor
life at that season. 1t is during this

time that ventilation in the houses is
poorest and when sunshine is the low
est, thus reducing the resistance of the
children" states the Commissioner.
Measles is most contagious during
the coming down stage. To avoid
measles, keep your children away from
anyone who has sore throat, rash,
cough, running eyes or nose.
If your child has measles, keep him
home and away from all other chill
dren, including his brothers and sis
tiers.
The Chicago Department Of Health
is developing a program for using
measles antitoxin and sera as widely
as possible as soon as experiments
prove these to be reliable.
Every case or suspect case of
measles must be reported to the Chi
cago Department Of Health says DR..
