critics on immunology, among them
DR.. w. II. Parks of New York
City. It is particularly recon-
mended by the Association experts
and the State Board of Health for
the protection of little children be-
tween, one and five years of age,
among whom more than eight per
cent Of the total deaths from meas
les occur.
"a complete, active immunizing
agent such as toxin anti-toxin for
,,diphtheria has not yet been evolved
for measles" the bulletin says. "It
is well authenticated that the in
lection of blood serum from a pa
tient who has recently recovered
from the disease will completely
lmmunize for a short time, say a
few weeks. But the difficulties in
volved in securing serum and in
testing it for suitability as well as
its impermanence make such iniec-
ton impracticable for general use.
The experiments now being car
ried on by Ruth Tunnacliffe with
goat serum also hold out hopes
for the ultimate discovery of an ac-
tive immunizing agent. At present
! they appear to eliminate only the
difficulty of securing serum and
not the objection that the immun-
ity conferred is only temporary"
The method endorsed in this bull
letin is simple and effective. It's
general use for children under six
is definitely recommended.
Measles is a much more serious
menace for such children than
parents in general realize. The fol-
lowing figures selected at random
from yearly death rate figures for
measles in the last decade in Min
nesota are quoted in the bulletin
in proof of it: For one year, for
instance, 70 out of a total of 1O1
deaths occurred in children under
five; the year following the III out
of 159 were under five; then the
figures were "a out of 80 and 118
out of 1T. In the year of smaller
death rate the figures were 10 un-
der five out of the total of 13, the
ration remaining approximately
the same.
The only genuine obstacle to the
procedure recommended and en-
dorsed by the Association lies in
detecting children who have been
exposed. In practice, the bulletin
reminds, the small children under
five is seldom exposed to measles
without their knowledge of the ex-
posure.

withdraw of small amount of
blood from the parent who is pre-
sumed to have had measles and in

been exposed.
It will not prevent an attack of
measles, these experts say, but it
will modify it so much that the
child can gain his own active, life
long immunity by light harmless
illness.
The method has been fully test

Potatoes OF
VALLEY Found Best

Is there a prejudice against VAL
ley-grown sweet potatoes in the
Valley?
This is the question brought be-
fore the house by Dr.. A. 3. Nivens,
local farmer, who finds that Valley
grown potatoes are not popular
among consumers here, but that
when they are m~asqueraded under
a California trademark they sell
even better than the produce from
that state.
The local grower brought a large
sack of the sweet potatoes to the
Herald office and they were found
to be Of excellent quality. He ex-
planned that he was unable to sell
them to local stores for He rea-
son that customers refuse TO buy
Valley-grown tubers. He added that
he sold his vegetable to a whole
sale company. and later found the
potatoes on sale as California pro-
duce.
DR.. Niyens suggested that a
campaign against the unfounded
prejudice be started by some res
3onsible organization
