Kor a number uf years the records ot tho state board of bualth . show that every third ycur we huvo had little niuaslea in Oregon.

While less than 20 per cent of all cases occur in children under three years old, 75 lier.cent of the deaths occur among this a;e group. With an epidemic of measles impending and the probability of frequent recurrent outbreuks In the future. It becomes extremely important that parents of young children understand that measles Is really a serious infec tion for those under three years. To postpone the attack until after the fifth birthday is to cut down the probabilly of death enormous ly. Chief reliance fur postponing tho attuuk must be placed upon , thu prevention of exposure. Mea sles is nearly always spread from pei-son to person. To catch It an individual must usually come in contact or close association with other persons who already have It. Keep welt children away from sick ones. During measles season an especial alertness In this respect may prove advantageous. i'rvveiithm IWflciilt The prevention of measles Is an exceedingly .difficult mutter be ' cause of the universal susceptibil ity, and because of the fact that the infection can be conveyed long before tho rush has appeared, and the case has been recognized. AH cases of measles should be "iso lated. AH susceptible contacts should be Isolated for two weeks. The spread of measles can only be controlled by dally Inspection. It Is a simple matter to Inspect a large number of children as the Inspection need not be a very searching one. New foct will be removed before they cun do much liarm. Closing the schools has little ef fect In preventing .the--spread- of Y measles. As the disease Is spread in the pre-eruptlve sluge, it Is suf ficient to examine Die chldren each morning before they enter school for symptoms of a cold, injection of cycu, running at the nose. ' cough, sore throat, fever, but espe cially the spots that are .found in tho mouth. ' . Is Bathing Suit Party Disorderly?
