WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 17. 1931 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE fiealtlt 5eiVice * OF THE (hkwabiuu iflriUral Assoriatunt GRANT FLEMING. M.D. ASOCI*TE SECRETARY v DO YOU KNOW "Do you know that there is a dis- ease which, because it w of such com- mon occurrence, is regarded by many as being inescapable and of but little importance "! Do you know that this disease is serious in that it causes the death of several hundred.! in this country each year? Do you know this disease takes- its toll chiefly among little children, and that the younger the child is, the leas resistance he seems to have. It is about measles that we are ask- ing these questions a disease which is of common occurrence because wt are all susceptible to it, and which as a result of our susceptibility, we almo-3t contract when first exposed tc someone who is suffering from it. Measles is serious. In the year 1929, this disease was the direct cause of 619 deaths, a number exceed- ing the number of tho-se due to ty phoid fever or scarlet fever in the same year. A recent publication shows that seventy per cent of the measles deaths in Ontario for a perioc of years were <<f children in the firsi three years of life . These are the facts which we want .are. No child should be carelessly >r thoughtlessly exposed to disease. If one child in the homo is ill or is not feeling well, the other children should be kept away from him. Un- fortunatfly. the most infectious per- iod of measles is before the rash ap pears, and so in many cases before rr.aasles has been thought of. The result is that most children are likely 'T be expend to infection. Until recently, the best advice which could be given was to watch the ex- posed child and put him to bed on the first appearance of watery eyes Even better would it be to put tht child to bed eight days after his ex- posure, because the child who devel- ops his attack of measles when he is in bed is likely to escape complicat- ions. Nowadays we are able to do more than this. If the exposed child is given a doso of serum drawn from persons recently recovered from measles, he will either be protected from the attack, or else the attack will be so mild that danger will be practically eliminated. If blood serum from recent con- valescents is not available, then the blood from the parents may be used. As nearly every adult has had measles MAXWELL The St. Mary's Anglican church held their fowl supper on Tuesday evening last. A good play entitled, Valley Farm, was given by the young ODlfi. Miss Ella Morrison has returned home after spending the past two weeks with friend-s in Guelph and To- ronto. Congratulations to the Maxwell L. O. L. for the winning of the Dr. Sproulc cup this qualifies them for the county competition we wish them parents to understand so that thev'at time, blood from an adult will realize that measles is a serious tli'oase and that they should know how to protect their children from its dangers. Children Rhould be safeguarded from infection. The younger the (hild. the more serious is the danger and hence the greater the need foi will likely contain sufficient power to prevent or modify the attack. Measles is a serious and not infre- quently fatal disease. It should be known for what it is dealt with ac- cordingly. Mrs. R. J. Morrison is visiting in Toronto this week. There were a few articles left in the Agricultural hall on the afternoon and evening of the fair, the owners may have same by proving their prop- erty to James Sayers, Feversham.

The members were aNl present with Reeve Corbett presiding. Reports were 'received from the Weed Inspectors, Dow and Bowles, and payment of their allowance was ordered paid. An invitation from the Veterans and Militia Company to bred to a good sire, preferably one nf the Council to attend Divine Service the Down breeds that combine eariy on Retnembranve Day, was read and the Council arraigI to attend church maturity and deep fleshing to a high degree. At the Windermere experi- mental .nation the Hampshire breed has given excellent results either as a pure bred or when crossed with grade ewes. The Hampshire, as a breed, is gaining rapidly in favor. The ewes should be bred from October to December, depending upon when the farmer can best handle the young. Th" gestation period i-.? approximately five months, and from data gathered at the station, the average increase has been from 170 to 175 percent, and around 150 percent increase has boon raisod. As previously intimated, sheep are unsurpassed as scavengers of weeds There are few varieties that they will not consume, while some of the worst weed peats such as sow thistle, are eaten with relish. They will pick up a living around summer fallow and stuLbles and will make economical re- turns from otherwise often waste pro- ducts. Thsy will help to diversify the products of the farm., utilize rough Icrage, reduce the weed menace and enrich the land. STEPS ON CAR RACKETEERS "Watch your car, mister." If you have driven a car for any length of time you have heard that cry. At the theatre or the football game, men or boys offer to watch the car for a small fee or tip, and it is often the painful experience of the motorist that if he fails to contribute he loses Jut on the deal anyway. Car doors keyholes plugged with gum or matches or pieces of lead are only one of the many things likely to be discovered by the non-comforming motorist. A second parking in the vicinity, if the tip was not paid on the first occasion, if often just too bad, because the "car watchers" take the number and wait This "racket" is not as bad in Can adian cities as in thfe United States. In New York it has waxed to such proportions that officials are taking action. New York Automobile Club executives are calling for a law that will make it an offence to stand neai a highway for the purpose of solicit- ing the watching or guarding of any vehicles parked or about to be park- ed. Mr. T. H. Reburn has purchased the insurance business of Mr. A. Griffith in Markdale.
