Measles in Oldand Young

Almost as soon as tho rash of meaalee

pretty well over the body, tho fever be
gin! to subside, the noon and throat to
become more coinfortablo and tho pa
tient begin to recover rapidly. This
hat given rise to a number of popular
beliefs shout the great Importance of
getting the rash "well broke out" In met
ales and of the terrible consequences
which will result If the rash having come
partly out on the skin "strikes In again."
But there Is really very little hasl for
them, because, an a rule, the lighter the
rah the milder and shorter tha disease,
and the real danger of "striking In" and
attacking the bronchial tube or tha kid

during convslescence.

sponging and wet parka for the fever,
plenty of fruit Juice and milk, with ep
propriety antiseptic treatment of the nose
and throat to prevent Inflammation of

or no severely.
Indeed, the main period of watchful

for at least ten day following tha break
of the fever and then keeping th pa

school for ten days longer. In this way

can be avoided, as this I usually duo
either to overexertion or exposure to
chill or, lai-t but by no means least, a
"common cold," which, may prove a kill

Both ends of the disease are mora Im

our greatest troubles with measles, nest
to this genoral tolerant contempt, for
them, ;s the extraordinary "premature"
way In which they begin,
, Up to a few years sgo wa rested In
the comforting belief that It was the
eruption and the germ and scales
thrown off from the skin which wera tha
principal sources of Infection. Or, at
least, that children coming down with the
measles were hot very dangerously In
fective to others until about tha time the
rash appeared. Jlenca It waa not auch

Tint In spit of everything we could do
In enforcing' the most vigilant quarantine
the disease appeared to flourish almost
as freely as ever and enreful observation
of a large number of case revealed the
discouraging fact thst most esses of
measles were spread to otheis, not only
before the rish appeared, hut even, ap

'I really feel that life Isn't worth liv

friend of mine to me the other afternoon,
when the door was closed on a depart
ing visitor, and we were alone.
"Why?" I asked, though I .Imagined
that I could guess what the answer to
my query would be,
"VVhyT Oh, you must see for yourself,
I know you only had five minutes of her,
but surely that waa enough. She Is one
long Jeremiad, from beginning to end, and
try as I will I cannot get her to brighten
up. Yet, I really do not think that she
Is as miserable as she pretends to be.
At ell events It suits her, for she looks
the picture of health."
"Perhaps she works all her misery off
verbally on other people, I suggested,
"That kind of a person poisons the at.
mosphere for the rest, of the world, and
In doing so rids his or her system of the
virus."
"That must he It," answered my friend.
I si ways feel 'done up' when she ha
been here to see me. A hard day's work
does not have nearly such a nerve-de
stroylng effect on me a an hour or so
In that lady's society. And I have heard
others say the same thing, too,
I tried to atone for the sins of the pes.
slinlatlc visitor by being rldlculeusly gay
and light-hearted, but after I left my
friend's house I had lelauro to think over
what she had, ssld, and to consider the
psychological effect of such people on the
community.
What good did lltVy do and what

Blame and
the Love Thief
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

ITTLE gray mate with the golden
crest and tlie silver-voice and the
friendly ways, I've picked out the spot
where the trees cast the gratefulest shade, where
the winds arc Mvectcned in the summer and mild
est when the 'White-Birds' fly, where the flowers
are most odorous, w here the other birds w ill come
and Sinn the moriiiiiu matins and the evening
vespers for you, core of my heart, for you and
me to build our nest I There ',11 be a fireplace (of
course), and the wind around the outer twigs to
sing you to sleep, and for all I am worth I will
strive to make the nest downy for you wherever
you turn! AndI'm very ashamed but do you
mind there will be to start with but one chair
do you mind very much, golden bird of mv
soul?'
NELL BRINKLEY.
"I have read several of your articles
In which I find that in every instance
where a girl accept the attention of a
married man you blame her. Why Isn t
the man equally to blame for encourag
ing the girl? He knows wrong from
right aa well a she, to ssy the least. A
man who would act so Is to my mind
nothing more than a cur and ft love thief
combined," rites "An Interested
Reader."
I do not blame the woman more than
the man In a guilty love affair but
society does.
It Is tho woman who pay the great
penalty of suffering and social ostracism
In a love affnlr In which the party of
tho second part is married and so it Is
the woman who must be more strenu
ously blamed-by anyone who hss a sym
pathetic attitude for esses of this ort.
Women suffer tortures of self reproach
because of their own moral lapses.
Women have to be warned In no uncer
tain term against the weakness In their
own nature which betray them to the
man who would tempt them. No man
ever quite "stole" a girl' heart. H
may have attracted It dishonorably, tie
msy have cheated In the whole game of
love but he never fully won unless hi
"victim' gave him the victory.
There aro two perfectly practical rea
sonsapart from all sentlmcntallly-why
women should riot Indulge In love affairs
with married men.
First from the point of view of their
own selves; there is nothing In a love
ffalr with a married man that in, noth
ing adv'Hiitg"ous or desirable. Its net
result are generally a broken heart and
a ruined reputation even If It stop short
of actual disgrare and shame.
With nothing to gain and everything to
lose, of course, I plesd with and threaten
and scold any girl who Is contemplating
a lialenn wlt.li a married man.
In tho second place, the woman who
steals another woman' husband la, with
out benefiting herself, Impoverishing.
some oyo else. Eviii if she does not
break up a home and render Hide chil
dren fatherless, alio Is destroying an
other woman's peace of mind und happi
ness. ficx loyalty is badly needed for women,
Women ought to learn to utand tog ( her.
Any girl who can ho loused to a sense of
(alrnrai and to a feeling it lojalty to tho
wlfo of tho man for whom she rare
would scornfully refuse to become a love
thief.
Tho eclflf.li brute of a man against
whom my "!nlcretcd Header" so bitterly

they refuse to lot him do so. There aro
very few cases where girls oro abducted
In hlKh powered automobile or given

There are very few cases where inno
cent and trusting lllllo creatures enter
Into love affairs to find only too late
that the man to whom a young heart Is

ingi Ana o i blame women very

cynicism?
Whatever the fault of a double stand
ard of morels, 'certainly fowiinf the (deal
of womanhood Isn't golria; to belter mat
ters. The only way girl can make the
world better is by being themselves so
good that the men who come In contact
with them will not think ever more and
more lightly of women and love.
The moral of tho race eem to be a
sacred trust in the hands of the women
of the race. And when they shirk their
respoelblllty they become "slackers" of
the most contemptible sort, and brlns
down on Jhclr heads a storm of reproach.
Not that I think men better-but that
I hate to see women worse Is the reason
for my attack on tho girls who steal love
from another woman. It doesn't matter
who Is to blame the point is to get at
the most likely person to effect a cure
and that is woman!

Why do so many women who are at

who were designed by nature to make
Ideal wives and mothers never marry?
Is ft because they were' bent on celi
bacy? Or Is It because men were too
stupid to know a good thing when they

is It, the fault of social conditions that
