Measles is probably the most' com

deal, so-if your child has not had it
and is exposed, you may be pretty ,
sure he will get it A few of the ,
symptoms are these: Cold in the head (
with a hacking cough hard to control; '
fever and inflamed eyes as first signs;
rash in three or four days afterwards. ,
Mild cases are jpore dangerous than a
severe attack; so far as after-results ,
are concerned, Main after ejects are: f
dafcage to eyes, njiddljp ?ai? throat *
and lungs, with-pneumonia. Parents .
are urged to be eyttetiely earefpl and
to follow the Doctor's instructions in
regard to the treatment.
Measles "being an acute contagious
disease, parents are required to re
port to the Health Department where
. Doctor has been in attendance;
Please help'to control the disease by
