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.

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-

recommended to the poUce ooa

the xwed for atop aigns at the cor
ner of Hood ma& North Kb atreeta,
that Hood street should be deoignat-

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

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

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.

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.
