D. &} & Commissioner of Health &¥ SUeUNeC RU RREReD There were reported during the month of April, the following cases of contagious diseases: Sixteen cases of measles, twenty cases of German measles, six cases of chick- en-pox, one case of whooping cough, and one case of scarlet fever. There were not so many households under quarantine, as in some instances several children of the same family contracted the disease. : The cases of German measles were most all due to children who were exposed at the High school, where pupils must have been in attendance' who should have been in quarantine. The small epidemic of measles is caused by the inexcusable careless- ness of sending a child to the Skokie school who was suffering from the early stages of this disease. Most of these cases are traceable to this source of infection and developed two weeks following the time this room full of children were exposed. Measles is probably the most con- tagious of all diseases, and it is often. far more harmful in its effects than most people seem to realize. A great danger in measles is in its compli- cations and after effects, as lung, gastro-intestinal, eye and ear trouble, and other ailments frequently follow. Farly symptoms of measles are chills and a feverish condition with indications of a severe cold, and red- ness and watering of the eyes. It is then that the case should be isolated, as it is not until the fourth or fifth day that the eruption appears. The violent contagiousness of measles is also present in these very early stages before the eruption on the skin is evident. German measles is not a mild form of the ordinary measles, but it is a separate and distinct disease. It is also very contagious though not dangerous and is without complica- tions. From two to three weeks elapse before the disease developes after a person has been exposed. Es Ee NEW TRIER BOY SCOUTS EXPECT CALL TO COLORS Mobilization Orders Looked For Any Day--Troops Prepared to Serve Country in Every Way. Tt is now that every Boy Scout of America feels the necessity of living up to the oath that he took when he became a Scout, and particularly the phrase "to do my duty to" God and my country, and to help others at all times," and to live up to the motto "be prepared" to do anything that he is asked. The National Scout Headquarters has instructed every scoutmaster to prepare his troop for a mobilization order. The scouts of England have been of invaluable service to the government and the 258000 Boy Scouts of America can be of the same service to this country. The training that a Scout receives makes him fit to face any task that is set before him and it is now that the time has come for him to "be prepared" to make use of that train- ing in helping the Gevernment.
