SCARLET FEVER
It is only quite recently that the
specific organism causing scarlet
fever has been isolated. It is now
clear that, like diphtheria, scarlet
fever is a local infection which
chooses for its habitat the mucous
membranes of the upper respiratory
tract. The invading streptococci elab
orate a toxin and the constitutional
symptoms are the result of the charac
teristic action of this toxin in the
system. The peculiar rash of scarlet
fever is the result of the action of
this toxin oil the walls of the super
ticlal skin blood vessels. The toxin i
of measles and of smallpox are dif
ferent and hence each of these dis
eases produce its , own characteristic
eruption. - V
The organism causing scarlet fever
does not live long outside the human
body and reports of the persistence of
scarlet fever virus for years In houses,
letters, books and clothing should be
accepted with much hesitancy. So far
as is now known these particular or
ganisms capable of producing scarlet
fever are found only in human beings.
No animal has yet been found to be
definitely su:ceptible to them.
Transmission is therefore by direct
contact by means of droplet spray
from coughing or sneezing or by con
tact with freshly contaminated ob
jects such as toys, pencils, door knobs
or clothing.
Milk is an excellent vehicle for
these germs and in milk they live
longest outside the human body. Epi
demics o! scarlet fever have- been
traced to a contaminated milk supply.
Like typhoid fever, persons recov
ering from scarlet fever often carry
living germs in their systems for
months after all symptoms have dis
appeared. Indeed persons may be so
nearly immune to the disease that the
symptoms are not noticed and yet
such persons may carry the infection
and spread the disease to others with
out knowing it. Such carriers are
the ones most dangerous in spread
ing the disease, especially if they work
in dairies or handle foed.
A method has now been perfected
whereby it is possible to test indivi
duals and find out if they are sus
ceptible to the disease. This test is
called the Dick test. (The Schick
test is for diphtheria). A serum in
the form of an antitoxin has also been
perfected which is very valuable in the
treatment of the disease.

THAT is the statement of six
famous cooks who have just com
?leted a practical cooking test of the
'erfection Stove. All six agreed in
praising the Perfection highly for its
baking ability, as well as for its
general performance.
“Speaking of cakes, half the making
is in the baking,” said Miss Rosa
Michaelis, New Orleans, domestic
science specialist.
Delicate Angel Food
“An even temperature must be main
tained while an angel food and other
cakes are baking,” added Miss Mar
garet A. Hall, nutrition expert of the
Battle Creek College of Home Econo
mics. “When I baked cakes in the
Perfection oven I used a standard,
portable oven thermometer as a check.
The flame did not creep or crawl. You
can depend on the. Perfection flame to
remain as you set it.”
“My orange cakes and devil’s foods
were delicious,’’commented Mrs. Kate
B. Vaughn, Los Angeles, household
economics director. “The air circu
lation in the Perfection oven seems
perfect. All excess moisture was
carried away.”

“It’s the ‘live heat 9 of the Perfection
Oven which brings such good re
sults,” said Mrs. Rorer, famous Phila
delphia cook.
“The Perfection oven is so roomy that
there i 9 room for several cake 9 at a
time,” said Mrs. Belle DeGraf, San
Francisco. “And, through the glass
door of the oven you can see just how
they are baking. No need to open the
door and lose any heat.”
Miss Lucy G. Allen, of the Boston
School of Cookery, commented on the
visible oil supply. *‘You can see,” she
remarked, “whether you have enough
for your cooking. If not, it’s easy to
refill the Perfection reservoir without
soiling your hands.”
High Praise
These are just a few of Perfection’s
good baking points which the six ex
pert cooks praised highly. You will
find many others when you bake on a
Perfection. It’s the stove which proves
cake-baking is not difficult.

The long chimneys of the Per

before It reaches the kettle. Thus 'l
you get clean, even cooking heat s

You can be doubly sure of this k
sort of heat when you use a pure ,
water-white ICerosene that bums
cleanly, evenly and without odor ?)
—“Standard” Kerosene. It is
specially refined. *.
All impurities that might cause -
smoke or leave deposits of soot
are removed. This assures the
maximum amount of heat. By
sticking to “Standard” Kerosene *-
you are sure of best results from -
your Perfection. Insist on it. y
