Your Health

n HEASLES is apparently more widespread now
IVl throughout America than at almost any other
time since infectious diseases began to be brought
under control.
highly contagious disease, measles begins with
Inflammation of the eyes, sneezng, fever, some
hoarseness and chilly sensation.
Soon so-called "koplik" spots can be noted in
the mouth. These small, white spots with blush
the throat. When the rash breaks out they Usually
vanish.
The measles rash is not brilliant red like that
of scarlet fever; it is of dark red color and usually
appears on the third fourth day. to spread rapidly
from face and neck all over the body.
IF your child has measles, separate him from the
l. rest of the family. If possible, he should have
a room to himself with a bathroom that he alone
can USE The child must be kept in bed as long
there is fever and for few days atterward, until
the doctor says it is safe for him to get up.
1t is advisable to protect the child's eyes from
the light This does not mean, however that his
room is to be kept absolutely dark. If he is given
smoked or dark glasses to wear, the room may be
kept as light as usual
His diet should be light, with fruit and cooked
vegetables. Large amounts Of water, and OF citrus
fruit drinks, such orangeade and lemonade,
should be taken regularly.
THE principal danger of measles lies in possible
i complications. When patients die OF this
disease the cause is usually secondary pneumonia
or tuberculosis secondary infection of the tonsils,
nose throat, or ears or, sometimes, from aoceSses
or inflammation in the glands OF the neck
Watch closely for any Of these serious symptoms.
If they appear, notify your doctor Immediately so
the patient may have the best possible medical at
tention.
Fortunately, when a child once has measles, he
Is not likely to have it again, although second at

COMETIMES adventure comes
~ from another direction. Some
times even the river is dangerous
and hostile.
For instance, what time we
had getting into RavenSwood this
morning! "a showboat is just like
a big cardboard box, anyhow"
Capt. Reynolds says. 1T catches
the wind So"
A stiff breeze blew us into shore
four or five times. The willow
trees would come crashing over
the guard rail, clear up to the
windows.
When we were showed in like
that, Bud would jump to the bank
to catch the rope Tommy threw
out. Then we'd tie up for a
while.
Maybe you think it's no job to
tie a boat up, out if the rivers
been high, the mud along the bank
is knee deep and you have to
climb to find something TO tie to,
dragging the line behind you.
In addition, you must know
every reef and shoal of the river
on day like this. Not much like
an ordinary summers morning,
when you can sit back comfortably
in your chair and steer the whole
kaboodle with your feet.
TINE mayor invited us to come
i up to a restaurant after the
show for a cup of coffee or
glass of beer and a fish sand

Fish sandwiches are a speciality
in these river towns, and they are
delicious. Even if you'd never
tasted one, the smell would be
enough to make you drool like a
baby.
Well, it was a nice party We
stayed very late, but finally it was
time to go. The mayor was to

We were riding along calmly
when all at once the mayor leaned
over and reached into his back
pocket.
Here, have a fried fish," he
said. Then he started pulling
them out. From his trousers
pockets, his coat pockets, his vest
pockets, dozens of nice little fried
fish.
We laughed till the tears ran
down our cheeks. No one had no

after all he was the mayor, wasn't
he?

of moving pictures.
They were showing one on board
when the film caught fire. Peo-
pie in the audience damned the
doors to get out, and jumped into
the river from the windows in a
panic.
Every one was saved except
Capt. Reynolds 2-year-old son,
sleeping in his room on the top
deck.
EVEN before the Illinois, the
~ captain travelled up and down
the rivers. There was room enough
on his boat for a horse and wagon.
He'd load the boat with dishes,
go down one of the rivers, land
and take his dishes, with the horse
and wagon, through the country
side. People would trade him SO
much butter for cup and sau-
Ger, so many eggs for dozen
plates.
He'd take their produce to town
and sell it to the storekeepers.
AS a bait, he'd show a movie in
the evening on board his boat.

Reynolds, they couldn't resist it.
But adventure is not dead yet,
as we found out the other night.
A man came to the show bringing
his family with him. He and his
son carried shotguns, the funni-
est-looking old blunderbusses you
ever saw. Guns like that would
have shot the side of a barn clean
out.
