An increase in the prevalence of scarlet fever today prompted Dr. Louis Dumont, superintendent Of the health department, 10 issue a statement urging parents 10 watch for symptoms of the disease and cooperate with health authorities Sl preventing it's spread.

About 1 4 days after tho disappearance of rash the skin pcels off in scales In some mild cases thcrc is only a slight sore throat with a rash which may not be noticed and the peeling Of the skin is hardly mo- tiCeablC. The mild cases are the ones that make the control of ths disease difficult as they spread the disease unknoWingly.
 "Scarlot fever should be- fearcd on account of it's serious complica- tons. such as Bri%ht's disease Others are left weak and siCkly for long while, and often with run ming cars and deafness.
 Keep your children away from persons and places where scarlet fever is, apl keep away yourself. Look out for things which have come from homes where there has been scarlet fever. They may be in tcctiOus. keep such things away from your children. If you can protect your children until they are r. years old or more they will not catch the disease so easily.
 "One attack of scarlet fever usual iy protects against subsequent at taCks. In rare instances second at tacks may occur after an interval oi several years.
 If o1Te child in your family has scarlet fever do everything you car to keep him away from the others Put the sick child into a room by

ter. Gary Cooper, the popular young
player of Paramount studio, is featur-
ed with her in this picture.
Nancy Carroll and Gary Cooper are
a unique pair of screen lovers. Nancy
is the dainty, super-sophistieated lit

heights and depths of Broadway and
has sought and purchased its glitter
ing luxury.
Gary is the shy, bashful, awkward
boy from the West, who gets to New
York for the first time. when his
company mobilizes there on its way
TO France. These two meet, the
clean-minded youth and the gilded

Then Nancy realizes that he loves her
