A short time ago, a number of Senators.' principally members
of the majority party, conferred with a view to creating a definite
program for promoting recovery. Their conclusions, embraced in
ten proposals, were presented'to the Senate by Josiah Bailey of
North Carolina. A digest of those ten vitally Important points
follows:
1 The capital gains tax and the undistributed profits tax
should be thoroughly revised at once, so as to encourage the nor-
mal flowj of savings Into productive enterprise.
. 2. A start should be made toward balancing the Federal bud-
get, in order that public credit may be preserved and fears which
deter investments, ended
3 The Constitutional guarantees of the right of the workei
to work, and of the^owner of property to its possession, must be
©reserved and enforced.
4. Government should stay out of fields which belong in the
realm of private industry—and If the government does propose
to compete In any field, due notice should be given so that pri-
vate inv^tment m^y avoid it. ^
5. The competitive system must be maintained—as against
either private or government monopoly, and business’ right to. §
reasonable profit must be guaranteed.
<6. Private credit must be preserved—and that means that
the nation’s collateral on which all credit depends, must be pre-
served
7. There must be an assurance that taxes will not be further
Increased, and that they will be reduced at the earliest possible
tone ••___r-''.
8 States’ rights, home rule and local self-government must
be vigorously maintained, unless proven definitely Inadequate. *
« 9 The needy must be aided under a system which Is non-
- political and non-partisan.
10 Lastly, the nation-should rely. In the future, aa In the
past upon the American system of private Initiative and enter-
prise
This program needs no comment It is a real prosperity

ca great. If Congress will adopt It, 11 will make a magnificent

consideration must be to keep
him out of houses where measles
exist. Prevent him from playing
with children with children who,
you think, may have the disease.
“If your child Show* signs of
measles, running nose, sneering
eyes red and watery, put hjm to
bed at once. While waiting for
the doctor see that the child Is
kept warrrt. The room Should
be well ventilated, hut glare and
draughts prevented. Olve him a
light diet of milk, soup, and
cereal. Keep him to bed until
the doctor permit* him to be up.
When recovering from measles
he Is less able to withstand other
diseases The doctor should see
the child two or three times to
a year following recovery to
guard against bad after effects.”

State Health Officer, has the fol-
lowing to say to regard to this
disease.
“Many person stll Insist that
measles are nothing serious and
that children should get them
early and get It over with.
However, measles are a very wide
spread, highly contagious dis-
eases and over 100 children In
Texas die of them each year.
Children generally have active
disease seyen to 14 days’ after
contact with a person 111 with
measles. Children must be ex-
cluded from school .for a period
of 21 days from onset.
“One never knows at the be-
ginning how serious the attack
will be, so a physician should be
called when measles Is suspected.
