Austln:—During 193* over eight
thousand cases of measles were re
ported to the Stste Department of
Health This large number U not
ut-usual. since tbe disease character-
istically assumes a cyclic nature with
alternate periods of high and low In
rlden< e IP’? represented s year of
ezpected Urge number of cases, with
a t tal of 14.T4U, while 193* dropped
to 5,710 case# Lowest Incidence of
the past half decade was In 1935 with
4.073 cases of measles reported, ac-
cording to Lr George W Cox. state
health officer. ,
Of considerable Importance, how
ever, la the fact that parents of small
children frequently are entirely in
different to this disease Assuming a
more or lea* fatalistic attitude many
of them believe that the sooner the
disease Is contracted by their young
children the quicker the trouble will
be ovc-r This viewpoint undoubtedly
Is the result of false sense- of security
That Mt) cam of msIm are
mild In coapsrlsos with those of tbe
other coamwalcobie diseases i, true.
It is a fart. also, that many victims
recover without graves consequences
Nevertheless, there is another side
to the story that deserves considers
i»o a.
la children under five years of age
measles is a serious disease The iII-
Ses* Is more severe, the complka-
lit ns mo-e numerous and death oc-
curs much more frequently than in
those who are attacked al an older
age. Though only a fraction of the
total measles cases occur in the age
group under five years, the greatest
majority of deaths resjlt from these
com pa. at Iv c ly few rases. M treovtr,
undernourished rhildrc n and those si-
re ady suffering from other diseases,
regardless of are are more severely-
affected than are normal children.
It should h<- apparent, therefore,
that every care should be taken to
protect young children from exposure
until they have passed that period
of life in whic h the disease takes Its
greatest loll.
If efforts to protect fail, if follows
naturally that nursing care and medi-
cal advice should he applied prompt
ly especially whenever s child un-
der five years of age contracts the
disease
It Is Important that a sufficient
period of Isolation, particularly in
achool cblldr.n, should be had to pre-
vent needless transmission of tbe
disease. An isolation period of two
w.eks is usually sufficient

Where did each great achievement
actually start? Wasn’t it with an idea?
What if Edison had not dreamed of the first
electric lamp? What if Fulton had not
dreamed of the steamboat? Such dreams
are priceless. Properly directed daydreams
