pace Finm THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, lf29 DARK ROOM FOR TREATMENT OF MEASLES ERROR Luht U Imperative la the treat ment of mea&les, states a bulletin released Tuesday by the Oregon state board of health through the Marion county health unit. The aid theory that children with measles should be kept in a darkened room Is refuted by the article, which fur ther continues: One of the earliest signs of an oncoming attack of measles is the reddened condition of the eyes. Tears may te noticed as excessive and almost ready to overflow the lashes during the stage of sneezing and coughin that precedes the skin eruption. These early lnf la Hi story warnings In the eyes require no treatment. They are usually accompanied by some fear of light, and this fear of light has prompted the vicious care that is responsible not only for loss of eyesight but also for the loss of ln'e of many chil dren. Probably more harm has been done by the old fashioned notion that the child with measles must be kept in a dark room than by any other nursing fault. The fact that the tears are flowing and the eyes are a little congested is not suffi cient reason for putting the child in a dark room. In no other disease of childhood are fresh air and good light so, imperative in treatment. Fresh air Is necessary to avert and counteract lung infection, the thing that kills these babies and children la ter f rora pneumonia and other germs often responsible for the ser ious eye conditions developing is later complications Ih measles. START MARKET ROAD SURVEYS Surveying for next year's prob able market road , program is get ting under way in the county en gineer's department and from now until late spring surveying crews will be busy in various parts of the county regardless of weather conditions. One crew under the direction of J. P. McGee is now lay ing a furvey on a road in Union hill district known as 'Strawberry Sam Matheny's'' market road. A survey has been completed already on Market Road 43. or the finish ing olf of the Silver Palls road. As fast as the county court gets Its ideas fixed a to which part of the market road program is to be handled next year ths furveys will be gotten under way. Borne survevs were made last winter which for one reason or an other were not used. One of these on the Twelfth street road was abandoned because of heavy de mands for d3mazes by some prop erty owners along the prospective route. A mad out past the Cot tage farm was also held up because of differences of opinion in regard to rteht of way but this will prob ably po through in the spring if the differences are settled. or urn Lantribelloru le this col am r nasi b ronltned to WO word tod signed fey Trrtlrr.

Red Clover Differs Between American, European Varieties Dallas The following extract from the recently issued year bcok of the United States department of agriculture is a discussion of the "variation in red clover between the European and American types that will be of particular interest to Polk county farmers, at this time when there is so much discussion of our local seed crop. A. J. Pietera, chief of the department's forage crop in vestigational work, is the author of this material. The red clover, grown in the United States and Canada is roueh and hairy and differs in this re ipect from the European, which is either quite smooth, like the Itali an and soaie Russian varieties, or In which the hairs are closely ap pressed to the stem so that the item seems to be smooth. There is considerable variation in the de gree of hairiness of the American red clover, but whether the hairs are many or few they always stand out at right angles to the stem. Some American red clover plants are very hairy, some less ' so. and plants with all degrees of hairiness may be found In the same field whatever the variation may be. however, there Is seldom any uncer tainty to as whether the given plant U of American or European type. The characteristic hairiness is best seen on the stem Just below the flower head. "This hairy characteristic has been known for a long time, and there his been some speculation a.1 to its cause, for it mast be borne In mind that there was no red clover in America when the white man came and that our original stock came from Eneland in the latter part of the 17th century. The English clover came from Flanders, and both of thee have closely apprised hairs. The dif ference is. after all. one of degree and of arrangement of the hairs but it is so striking that .ome explan ation as to how the difference or iginated Is In order. The change from the European to American type came about so gradually that no one observed it while it was go-, lng on. and today when a solution Is attempted It is possible only to bring together the pertinent facts and offer a guess as to the cause of the change. "It Is necessary first to turn the wild red clover, the original species which grows wild in Britain and the rest of Europe, but which is a low-growing plant of small use ex cept In pastures. The stems of this Hd form may have .prpflr.rn. hairs, hairs appressed to the stem, or the stem may bo smooth. In other words, the natural variations in the species cover the entire range found today in the various Euro pean and American clovers. The possibility of producing rough, hairy plants is therefore 'in the blood.' but the English clover brought to America more than two centuries a?o was relatively smooth, as its Flemish ancestry shows. ' When the English clover was brought to America it encountered new conditions, among them a little insect not known in Europe and called the potato leaf hopper. This inect. damages red clover and is especially hard on the smooth forms. It also does most of its harm on second, or seed crop. When very ahimrfnn it mav kilt al! the w-1 ond growth of European clovers grown in the United States and it always keeps down the second growth so that such plants do not seed well. The hairy American type is little affected, especially when there are smooth plants upon which the leaf hopper can feed. This leaf hopper is native to the United States and without doubbt turned promptly to the new food plant provided by the first red clov er grown in America. With an a bundance of food the number of leaf hoppers would naturally In crease and In time they would be numerous enough to affect the seed crop seriously. "Meanwhile there were probably a few rough and hairy plants in a field, as Is the case today when seed from certain parts of Eng land, such as Kent. Is sown. These plants would be less affected by tne leaf hopper, which also is true today and would make relatively more seeds than the other plants in the field. It Is not possible to estimate how many years would be required for uch a process to go on for the number of rough and hairy plants In a field would be a considerable portion of the whole, but it Is certain that as the numbers of leaf hoppers increased with the new food supply the effect or the leal hopper's damage would increase with the years. As this effect became greater and the rough, hairy plants earh year pro- One Hundred Years from Now . . . The thinjr we call modern will be as out of date as frock coaU are today.

LOU I S I STOP SIGNS FOR HOOD AM FIFTH RECOMMENDED Chief of Folic Prank Uinto haa recommended to the poUce ooa mittee, aulbortaed by the city coun cil at it la&t meetins to Investigate the xwed for atop aigns at the cor ner of Hood ma& North Kb atreeta, that Hood street should be deoignat- ed aa a through "xtv street, par ticularly at the corner of Mb, where numerous accidents have oc curred in the ptst lev months. i Chief Mwto recommends that the stop signs be placed on Sth street at each side of Hood. North Cottage and Hood streets. where Fairgrounds Road runs into the intersection at an angie mak ing five traliic approaches to thu corner, also constitutes a serious traffic menace and should be pro tected by stop signs. Chief Minto says. He also advises stop signs at the north side of Hood street and at the west side of Broadway at the irgsection of these two streets. Completion of paving work open ing up Fairgrounds Road, Hood street. North High street and Us continuation northward. Broadway, and the connection with North Lib erty street, has Increased traffic along these streets to several times what It formerly was and necessi tates that steps be taken to safe guard traffic particularly where the streets are narrow, says the chief. duced relatively more seed than the relatively smooth ones, the propor tion of rough, hairy plants would Increase, and so, gradually, under the attacks by a small green Insect, so minute that It is seldom seen except by specialists, the type would be made over into the rough and hairy form we have today. "Although It Is not possible to review 200 years and see what hap pened, a reasonable inference may be drawn from what Is known to happen today, and from the known facts the most reasonable answer to the question of why American red clover Is rough and hairy fa that the constant attacks of the leaf hopper continued for more ated the smooth form by keeping down the production of seed, while the rough and hairy form produced more seed than the other, and so: constantly trierrared in numbers " !

KIDNEYS NEED LOT OF WATER When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney re gion it may mean you have been eating foods which create acids, says a well-known authority. An excess of such acids overwork i the kidneys in their effort to filter it lrom the blood and they become sort ot para lysed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish axd clog you must re lieve them, like you relieve your bowels, removing aU the body's ur inous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizry spllxV, your stomach sours, tongue Is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinzes. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels oi ten get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or mree times aunng tne nignt. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoon ul in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous Salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has beet) used for years to help clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the system, so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving biadder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot Injure and makes a delightful, ef fervescent lithia-water drink. Drink 'ors of good yaer. adv CONFESSES MURDER IN LENGTHY POEM Ashland.
