Automatically It Is a shoulder to the wheel boost for Chautauqua; as an investment its appeal to sound business judgment can't be dodged; and last, the purchase of the Chau tauqua season ticket, as against sin gle admissions, is a short arm lever cn valuation more than three times the cost of the season ticket. The cost of the season ticket Is $2.50, There are 28 attractions. With the season ticket each attrac tion costs less than 10 cents. There are at least six of these attractions, slons does not. So in buying the Chautauqua season ticket you are not only doing yourself a great favor, but are doing your share toward help In maintain the Chautauqua as a community reset "Flora Bella" at The Page, Medford At the Page Theatre, Medford, John Cort will present next Thursday night his biggest musical success, "Flora Bella," Here is something really refreshing, appealing to the eye and ear and quite magnetic. In People's Forum (By fact, "Flora Bella" is an offering that each obviously worth more than the stands out as much above the average musical comedy of recent times. The libretto Is by Felix Doermann, revised and adapted by Cosmo Hamilton and Dorohy Donnelly, while the lyrics are by Percy Waxman and the score by Charles Cuvllller, composer of "The Lilac Domino," and Milton Schwarzwald. Surprising as It may seem, the story Is nelther'superfluous nor so puerile as to be an affront to the ears. It has a genuine, unhack neyed situation. The characters are people and not walking dummies. The comedy is plausible and the dia logue funny. What is still more as tonishing, the lyrics assure you they were written by a man who has been to school, and do not produce In the listener the illusion of a bad Channel crossing. Then It has one of the most sparkling and lively scores, muslclan ly .and not over orchestrated. Then again, "Flora Bella" is charmingly mounted. The result is a wholesome depart ure from the deadly routine of ordi nary musical comedy business and a spectacle that prejudices the specta tor In favor of the piece as soon as the first curtain rises. The story has to do with a cabaret Blnger, an Idol of Petrograd. who for year, without her former identity being known in her new surround ings, has been married to Prince Nicholas Demidoff, of the Russian no bility. Her life has been irreproach able, but the two have made the mis take of not understanding the real desires of the other. She makes her husband fall desperately in love with her, eventually, by returning to her former cabaret life and posing as her own twin sister. The cast of principals will include Eleanor Henry, Lily Leonhard, Irv ing Brooks, Guy J. Sampsel, Morti mer H. Weldon, Dorothy Rogers, Adolph Link, Kate Stout, Ben Grlnr nell and Jack Bell. .cost oi me seaHuu uuioi. mm three musical attractions whose act ual assessed valuation during the concert and opera seasons Is exactly $2.50 per attraction for a satisfactory seat. Think of hearing the Smlth-Sprlng-Kolmes Orchestral Quintet, composed exclusively of renowned artists, for less than 10 cents! Think of hearing Goddard of the Chicago Grand Opera Company, acknowledged to be the world's greatest living bass baritone, for a fraction over 9 cents! Think of hearing the Boston Chimes of Normandie Company In an authen tic production of the famous comic rera of that name for less than the price of a paper of pins! Each one of these attractions tor less than the cost of a cigar, with the season ticket. Besides the three peaKs In merit Just named, there are 23 more attrac tions of moie than standard excel lence. Chauncey Hawkins, in his wonderful picture lecture on the wild animals of our North Woods, can be heard for less than the price of two packages of Spearmint. Dr. Lybar ger, noted social economist; Dr. Henry Smith Williams, the renowned dentist ; Montaville Flowers, distin guished platformlst of national prom inence; Dr. Frank Bohn, European ' correspondent of the New York Times all these noted men, with the season ticket, may each be heard for less than a single admission to the movies! And don't forget the Incomparable Onwaga Company In the artistic musi cal Japanese fantasy, "Along the Road to Tokyo;" the Musical Arts Quartet Chautauqua's premier har mony four; The Davenny Festival Quintet; Annie Therese Davault, dra matic celebrity, in "Polly of the Cir cus;" Deaves' Royal Manikins all these and many more attractions for less than 10 cents each with the sea son ticket. It Is readily grasped that out of so plendld a list of attractions choice is almost Impossible, and even If one does pick out, say any four as a mini mum, these four at the rate of single admissions equal the price of the set' aon ticket, whereas with the season ticket you would enjoy these four and all the others besides, This purchase of the season ticket Is not only economy, bat the most substantial individual boost the Chau tauqua receives. Sale of the season tickets cancels the obligation of the marantors. Sale of single admts- Calls Attention To Oregon Scenery A circular letter dated at Ashland and with the signature of Agent G. N. Kramer is being sent out from here calling attention to the scenic offer ings which Oregon and the Pacific coast have for the tourist.

To the People of Ashland Measles is a disease which Is pre ventable by proper hygienic precau tions; hence the epidemic of measles which has recently visited the Rogue River alley shows lack of such pre cautions. For a town which sets up to be a health resort, as Ashland does, to permit many cases of measles to go unquarantlned is, to say the least, a great mistake. No health-seeker would wish to live In a town In which such an elementary rule of hygiene aB quarantine for measlea is not observed. In certain epidemics of measles the mortality Is high; in others it is quite low; but in all epidemics there is a considerable percentage of those attacked who have sequelae which are both dangerous and troublesome. The chief consequences of measles are: 1. Diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat. 2. Incurable disorders of the glands of Internal secretion, which are , the thyroid, thymus, pituitary body, portions of the pancreas, and the so-called adrenal bodies. These glands of internal secretion are essential for the nutrition of the body as a whole and especially for the development of the nervous system; hence It is that many children who have had measles are less Intelligent than they otherwise would have been. The writer notified the local board of health of every case of infectious disease occurring in his practice, but In no instance did the board of health Institute proper hygienic precautions as to quarantine and terminal disin fection of the houses In which the patients lived. Since It became evi dent that the local board of health was either Inefficient or negligent, the writer quarantined cases of In fectious diseases directly through the police department and attended per sonally to terminal disinfection. This is a matter which is of vital concern to the community, and the community should see to It that the health officers perform their duty or give way to someone who has both the knowledge and backbone to per form that duty. Subjoined is a copy of a letter re ceived from the state health officer and also a copy of the Oregon Btate regulations in accordance with which quarantine for measles should be es tablished. This letter was In reply to a letter containing a statement of conditions In Ashland and a request for instructions. Yours very respectfully, GEO. O. JARVIS, M. D. ' "Portland, June 7, 1917. "Dr. George O. Jarvis, Ashland, Ore "Dear Doctoi: We wish to ac knowledge receipt of "your letter of the 6th inst. regarding the epidemic of measles In your city. For your Information we are enclosing a copy of the rules for the control of meas les. Thes rules should be enforced by the city health officer. "Thanking you for your co-opera tion in this matter", "Yours very truly, "DAVID N. ROBERG, "State Health Officer." Measles (Rubella). (a) Highly communicable from direct and indirect contact with dis charges from eyes, nose and throat. Infection is apread at least four days before skin eruption appears. Incu bation period from seven to fourteen days. (b) PIncards should be placed on the premises to warn of the presence of Infectious disease. (c) Due to the seriousness of this disease, strict Isolation should be maintained for at least seven days after the appearance of the skin le sions. This period of Isolation Is ex tended when necessary to await the cessation of all eye, ear, nose, throat and gland discharges and until the skin lesions are entirely cleared up.- (d) Adult members of the family may be permitted to attend to their occupations if direct contact with children does not occur ard food sup plies are not handled. This privilege may be withdrawn if In the opinion of the health officer or physician pub lic health Is In danger. (e) Children in the household who have had measles may attend school provided they do not come In contact with the patient or sick-room articles. It is very important that non-immunized children who do not reside on the Isolated premises, when exposed, must be Isolated before skin eruption occurs. Isolation for ob servation should be for ten days. (f) When measles are prevelent In the community, all children before entering school should be closely ob served for evidence of a cold in the head, sneezing and watery red eyes. (By Lynn D. Mowat.) While nations fight, And cannons roar, And big boats are sunk, And the allies start another drive, Aand aeroplanes make raids, And Russia rebels, And kings lose their, thrones, And the price of wheat soars, And nations starve, Aand Liberty bonds are sold, And Red Cross needs support, And Americans are sent to France, And you must plant garden, And the Fourth of July is coming, And it's hot, And wlfey wants a vacation, And you will soon be drafted, DON'T let this thought die, That now or never you must "Swat the fly." Here's great news: Two new men have presented their applications re questing admittance to pur nut club. They are Elbert Farlow and Delmar Harmon. After visiting "The Nut Bin" that's the name of our club house up on Nutley street they were highly delighted with the situation and immediately they set about to get an application card. They pre sented themselves at the club's head quarters the other day, and after In specting their upper lips the officials unanimously voted thera intp the club.

Chronicle Gives Ashland Boost Such children should he excluded from school at once and the health officer or physician notified. If the school is closed, the, cases become scattered so It is more difficult to know where they are, hence It Is gen erally not wise to close the schools, but in the rural districts where there is no medical inspection It may be come expedient to close the schools beginning nine days from the time the last child became ill. (g) Terminal disinfection can be replaced by renovation, thorough cleaning and airing. German Measles. Since German measles are often confused with a mild form of mease les, It should be handled in the same manner as measles, except that Isola tion may be removed after seven days from the beginning of the disease.
