MEASLES ..- .' -1.
0 . .
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. ' ' .

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.

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.

AN IRRITABLE, fault finding disposition is often
due to a disordered stomach. A man with good
digestion is nearly always good natured. A
great many have been permanently cured of stom

of suffering. These tablets strengthen the stomach
and enable it to perform its functions naturally.
Try them. They only cost a quarter.
