An epidemic of measles is spreading all over the coun try. Measles is not "just one of these children's diseases" to be laughed at and treated lightly. It is a disease which is peculiarly likely to have "complications" and bad after-effects. This year it is not only coming earlier in the year than usual, but is proving more severe. The danger of pneumonia is always present if the patient becomes chilled during con valencence, and the danger of: chill is particularly great In measles the little patients seem more liable to it than in most other illnesses. rl . ' , Moreover, doctors have observed that ear troubles are verv common with measles this year. It is a respiratory dis ease primarily, and if the nose is blown hard, infection is likely to enter the ear passaeees. it a doctor nas nor Deen called before, the first sign of ear-ache should be the signa for his visit. Neglected, the ear-ache may develop into serious matter involving the puncturing of the ear drum and a lone, difficult recovery. Children who are old enough to read should be forbid den the sight of a printed page for at least three weeks after measles is over. This means three weeks after the cough has disappeared. Thev may so to school and listen, perhaps, after the cough, which from the first moment to the last is the contagious feature, but they must not study, sew, cro chet or knit. A ereat many of the eye trouoies whicn ae veloo later in life are due to strain during and after measles Measles begin at first as a "common cold." " The child with running nose, bleary eyes and slight cough should be kept at home and watched caretuny. I he chances are ne has it. It is not wise to try to treat it without the doctor, either.- One visit with its good advice -taken in time may save a dozen to a very sick child later.

Simplest reason in the world how could they go any higher? ' ' o There are two "Friday-thc-Thirteenths" in 1920. So, according to the New Optimism, there will be at least two very lucky days. ' Comment of the State Press Snappy Glesmlngt from Press of the . Valley the COUNTY NEWS 0 Notes from all parts of Linn County llsmeaslng The Ford Many new uses have been found by Ford owners for their flivvers but it remained for II. L. Briggs a Portkind inventor to make "Linlc" drive a wood saw, say the Rotcburg Review. Mr. Mriggs was in the city I today demonstrating his invention with the result that he got in touch with number of prospective pur chases. A pulley is attached to one of the rear wheels and a wood tawing device attached to the front end of the machine. When the rear end of the car is picked up from the ground and the power transmitted by abelt it is claimed that one man can saw jp 12 cords of wood in a days time. Mr. Briggs is demonstrating the in vention throughout the county. Douglas County Books ( - m Saccharin is many times sweeter than sugar, and is con sequently being used a good deal at the present time. But it should be remembered that it is not a substitute for sugar, but a totally different thine. Sugar is a valuable food, which tastes sweet," says Dr Philip Shaffer, professor of biological chemistry in wash ington University Medical School. "Saccharin tastes sweet, but has no food value whatever. - The appetite for sugar is a normal appetite for a rea food. Saccharine does not satisfy that appetite at all, but merely deceives the tongue "by pretending to be food. The sweetness of sugar is accidental, so to speak the fuel value of the food is real. Saccharin has this taste of sweetness, but the body's need for fuel is not supplied thereby. The substitution of dates, raisins and other sweet fruits the generous use of bananas, oranges and apples is far wiser than the use of saccharin in making desserts which taste sweet but lack the essential food value. The fruit sugars are not only just as valuable to the body as the cane or beet sugars, but the other qualities of the fruits make them valu able parts of the daily diet. o The old expressions, "blind-drunk," and "dead-drunk," are certainly appropriate for wood-alcohol intoxication. mmmmmmmmmmm Reliable Service You will more thoroughly enjoy the HOLIDAY SEASON if yon know - your money and valuables are safe.
