The Law as to Reporting Measles
The following flections from the
Public Lvwi of 1911, are plain and
should be regarded and enforced for
the public good :
Seo. 17. If a householder knows
that a person within Lis family is
sick with smallpox, diphtheria, scar
let fever, measles, whooping cough,
yellow fever, typhus fever, cholera
or bubonic plague, he shall immedi
ately give notice thereof to the

Seo. 18. If a physiciaa suspects

thena, measles, whooping cough,

to quarantine the individual of the
household according to the quaran
tine rules and regulations of the
State board of health, and he shall
immediately give notice thereof to
the quarantine ofliser or deputy quir.
antine officer.
This law like other laws, should
be obeyed, and attention is called to
the matter new because of the fact
it is openly contended by those who

not necessary to enforce this impor
