Moreover, an adnlt who •fbmehow escapes it in childhood Stay always contract it, the educational committee of the Illinois rte Medical society comments a HEALTH TALK. | j In its initial stages, the disease AJPgins like the common cold with sneezing, red and watery eyes. These symptoms appear ten or ifleven days after exposure. The IQrfes ache and are sensitive to -•f tight. There may be a hoarse, dry "?/«ougb and & sore throat with Congestion of the tonsils. ; Three, or four days after the apf pearance of the cold symptoms, rash develops, first on the face and then on the trunk, arms and 4f4^gs. Bluish white areas called Koplik's 8pots named for a New "fork physician whQ identified ; , tfcem. appearing on- the inside of tke cheek and lips, "are another «|ue to the diagnosis of measles viren before the rash appears. . ? The disease is caused by a vir- ' 1 5hb. an organism so small that it . ofennot be seen with the ordinary microscope. Thus far, no positive immunizing agent has been found 4 i»r measles, although a fraction of tfce blood serum of recovered patiedts, called immune globulin TTas been used in minimizing an attack., ~'J While the mortality rate from measles itself is low, the death rate is higher among patients in Whom serious complications develop, such as Infections of the ^yes, the hose and throat, the .-.^Ijfonchlal tubes and the digestive if»wet. Once the child's body is weakened from the measles attack, there is suseeptibility to •prnis like the streptococcus, Maeumococcus, Virus and the organisms responsible for meninx gitis. The brain may be seriously affected, a complication which is t Itelieved due solely to the measles jv ^ Mrus. ^ ' The measles patient should be vttider supervision of a physician at all times. The advent of such drugs as the sulfonamides and penicillin have rendered the complications incident to measles less serious. Yet, it must be remembered that more than 90 pereent of the measles death rate is attributed to resultant pneumonia. Thf very nature of the numerous complications and serious a{,ter-effects of measles should be sufficient warning to every parent to see that good convalescent care is provided. Strict adherence to the advice of the family physician should accompany efforts to keep the child comfortable and amused during his period of isolation. Other children should be kept from the small patient, no matter how bitter the complaint of loneliness. If cases are kept in strict quarantine, an epidemic may be averted. Because of the highly contagious character of the disease, special cleansing must be J given all articles handled by the J patient. ! The incidence of the disease j follows closely the season of the i common cold, so parents should f be alert to the symptoms. The child should be put to bed and the family physician- called at once. - Because of, the mortality in children traded 5, it is imperative to prevent measles, if possible, in all under that age. Convalescent serum and immune globulin giver! early in the incubatiop period prevents or lightens the attack and prevents complications. So-called childhood diseases are not harmless. The young body does not always have the strength to withstand invading germs. Helping the child keep well and strong is the best insurance for his development into a healthy adult.

Corporation Tax Swells Treasury The number of corporations in good standing in Illinois and the amount of money paid by them to the state in taxes and fees both reached new highs during 1951, Secretary of State Edwart J. Barrett has reported. There are approximately 65,000 corporations operating in the state and they contributed $4,031,195.18 to the state treasury last year, Mr. Barrett said. This was an increase of $45,667.03 over 1950's $3,985,528.15. Since the talk of the motley comes from franchise taxes, tinincrease shows that business iu Illinois is operating with greater capital investment. Secretary Barrett said. There has been no change ih the tax rate. Other sources of the revenue are license fees, filing fees, and penalties. Both the collections and the number of corporations are at their highest levels siftce the business corporation act went into effect in 1933. • There were fewer hew incorporations last year than during the previous year, Mr. Barrett reported. The total for 1951 was 6,094. For 1950, it was 7,045. The current breakdown of corporations operating in Illinois shows approximately 41,000 domestic business corporations. 6,500 foreign business corporations and 17,500 not-for-profit-corporations. | PUBLIC PULSE (All communications for tUa department must be signed by the writer, otherwise they will not be published. The Plaladealer Invites Its readers to express their opinions in these columns.) LIBRARY BOARD Many fine books have bean left at the McHenry Public Library from time to tim^ without the name of the donor, which has made it impossible to acknowledge the gift. No doubt some have wondered why they do not find all of these books on the shelves. Because of lack of shelf spacfe, many of the books have been packed awav in boxes and stored- As soon As the new home of the library is ready for occupancy, we hope to have adequate shelving to take care of the- growth of the library for several years. However, the members of the library board do want to express their appreciation for the books given to the library during the years since February, 1936. We now have about 3,700 books, which ( i s a far cry from the 50® donated books. We had to open the Mc- ' Henry Public Library in the I spring of 1936. This effort was . sponsored by the Mothers' club. I The Legion Auxiliary has for | the past five years given two J books each year, one to honor their immediate past president I and one in "Memory of some vetej ran who gave his life In the seri vice of our country. Some of the I organizations of McHenry are , planning to donate books in the same way. ! The donatioa of money which, ; has been given to the Library i Building fund is an entirely dif~ j ferent fund from the money which J is used for the purchase of books land current expenditures, which | explains why the books have n< j bee a mentioned in other reports. | To anyone who has a number • of books which they would like ; to donate to the library in the I near future we suggest that you hold them until we move into the new library. At present we do not have storage space. ^-Mrs. C. R.

The veterinarian said he was "loaded with strychnine" and in spite of the doctor's best efforts our pet died after horrible suffering. If the poisoner could have seen *.he suffering of a gentle dog, I think that memory would be a punishment for the rest of his life. BLANCHE WATSON ^ Wonder Lake. 111. Need Rubber stamps?
