WHAT IS MEASLES?
Contributed by County Health Nurse
Measles is a dangerous and conta-
gious disease. The first signs of
measles are sneezing, running at the

nose and a sliht cough. The eyes look
red and watery and the l.gt.t hurts
them.
j It is during this period that others
( are most liable to catch the disease.
The child may appear to have only a
cold. But the mother who sends her
child to school or allows it to play in
the street at this time is helping to
spread the disease to other children.
In the beginning there is little fev-
er. In a day or two the skin becomes
very hot, the tongue becomes copered
by a furry coating, and the throat
grows very red. About the fourth
day, red spots begin to appear on the
forehead and face soon spread down
over the entire body. The spots col-
lect in large red blotches and itch.
What to Do.
1. As soon as your child shows the
first sign of measles, if it sneezes,
coughs and its eyes are watery,
keep the child out of school, in-

will five your child the .proper
treatment.
8. Keep the light out of the child's
eyes. Put your child in an airy
darkened room, or the eyes may be
affected. Give the child only light
food. Keep the bowels open.
4. Be sure to keep your child's eyes,
ears, mouth and nostrils perfectly
clean. The discharge from your
child's nose and throat and ears
should be carefully gathered in
clean rags and burned. Measles
can be caught through the disease
germs the sick person spreads by
talking or coughing. For this r"a-
son, only the doctor and the person
who is nursing the patient should
enter the sick room. Although
children are more likely to catch
the diesase, adults, too, sometimes
develop measles. In adult ca.*es,
the diease is doubly serious.
5. As soon as the rash fades, the skin
will begin to peel. This will he a
few days after the temperature has
returned to normal.
6. Do not let the child get up until
the doctor says it is safe. This will
be a few days after the tempera-
ture has returned to normal.
A Dangerous Time.
Be careful of the child when i* is
recovering from measles. It is a dan-
gerous time because vf the child's
weakened condition. The after effects
are often very serious.
Unless you give it good care, your
child may develop pneumonia and oth-
er diseases. The kidneys may also
be upset and mr\ develop chronic-
disease in later life.
The eyes and ears often become
inflamed, which sometimes results in
loss of sight or hearing. Your Child's
future health will depend largely
upon the care that you give it at this
time.
Protect Your Children.
Although most people believe that
measles is more dangerous than sea -
let fever, it is true that as many chil-
dren die from measles as from scar-
let fever
It is not necessary for your child-
ren to have measles, if you will keep
them away from children who have
the disease. This will save you much
worry and trouble, and may even
save your child's life.
But if your child shows the sign of
measles:
You must immediately send for the
doctor and obey his orders.
Texas Membership
American Legion
Shows Increase
San Antonio, Texas, Feg. 24.—With
better than one third of the Ameri-
can Legion membership quota for the
state already signed up, State Com-
mander Walton D. Hood here today
called upon every Legion post in
Texas to speed up its work imme-
diately. He declared that Texas must
lead the national convention parade
here in October.
"The Legion parade íb the greatest
event of the national convention,"
Commander Hood said. "It is the
greatest honor that can come to a
Legion department to head that im-
pressive procession. That honor goes
to the state which makes the best rec-
ord in membership during the year."
Texas can win that honor, and there
is nothing which I as department
commander will appreciate more than
to see the old Texas gang swing down
the streets of San Antonio at the
read of that parade.
Pointing out that twice as many
men have been signed up this year
as were signed up at the same date
last year, Commander Hood said that
the state will reach its quota if every
man digs in and does his part.
The Tenth and Ninth districts are
continuing a hot race for first place
in state membership honors. The
Tenth (Austin) has 00 per cent of its
quota in, as compared with 56 per
cent for the Ninth (Victoria).
Alamo Post No. 2 at San Antonio
has close to 2,000 members in now.
A general membership drive is under
way in the Lower Rio Grande Val-
ley. Laredo is also organizing a mem-
bership campaign. Five districts al-
ready have nearly the same member-
ship now as the total they had a year
ago. More than 60 new posts huve
been organized, with 50 more in
course of organization.
for Baby Chicks
(By F. W. Kazmeier, Bryan, Texas.)
When the chicks are 72 hours old,
they are ready for their first meal.
If you are buying baby chicks find
out when they were hatched, so you j
will know when to give them first
feed. The best way of figuring prop-
er time to give first feed, is 72 hours
after allowing for 21 days for the
eggs to hatch. If the eggs were set
on Monday, three weeks later the
first Thursday morning give the first
meal.
Feed Hoppers
It pays to buy specially constructed
feed hoppers and fountains for baby
chick feeding. You will save enough
feed and loss in baby chicks to more
than make up for cost of feed applian-
ces. Provide enough feed hoppers or
troughs and enough drinking foun-
tains so the chicks .lever have to
crowd to get enough to eat and drink.
This is important. There are many
kinds you can buy. In the case of the
drinking fountain it must be so con-
structed, that the chicks cannot get
into the water and drown or get wet.
In the case of feed hoppers, home
made boxes can be used. Take a box
8 inches wide and 24 inches long md
2 inches deep. Cut a piece of half
inch mesh hardware cloth, a little
smaller than inside dimensions of
feed box. Place dry chick starter in
box and half inch mesh hardware
cloth on top. This makes a g>od
baby chick feeder, not quite as sani-
tary and lasting as the ready made
galvanized troughs, but they will an-
swer the purpose. Remember, be sure
and provide enough feeders and wat-
erers so the chicks will not have to
crowd. Keep them clean. Sanitation
is the greatest and most important
factors in the successful raising of
baby chicks. You cannot keep things
too clea'
Commercial Baby Chick Starters
I believe in practically all towns
including the smaller towns some t?ond
ready mixed commercial baby chick
starters may be purchased. We of
course cannot recommend any par-
ticular baby chick feed in this arti-
cle., but we do believe any of the good
commercial baby chick feeds, are bet-
ter than so-called home mixtures, like
corn bread, rolled oats, bread crumbs
and hard boiled eggs. We truly be-
lieve you wHI get better results feed-
ing any of the good commercial chick
starters. Be sure the feed is fresh.
Stale or old feed is unsatisfactory.
As a general rule it is best to follow
the directions «uggested by the man-
ufacturers of the feed.
We have found it best to keep the
feed before them dry, from the fi^st
day. Feeding it spasmodically will
cause more over eating and crowd-
ing. We have raised over 100,000
chicks the last ix years, on the* plan
of keeping a good commercial baby
chick starter before them all the t'rne
from the first feeding. The grains,
chick size may be fed or omitted. We
have had wonderful results following
above simple plan.
