Had Measles? Then You 're Probably Immune

By Herman N. Bundes&d, M. D. Every mother Jinows that measles is one of thfe most highly contagious of all ‘tie diseases of childhood and now that schools are opening, they are concerned about their phfidren catching this disease. Om/case in a school or a neighboring means an outbreak and if one child in a family comes down-with it, the others are sure to follow unless they Eave already had it. £ /This is because measles is one of ,the relatively few diseases to which everyone—with the exception of babies under Six months — is susceptible. Strangely enough, most young babies seem to have a natural protection against it, so that cases under six months are uncommon and under four months very rare indeed. However, this universal suscepti-1 bility is balanced by the fact that one attack as a rule, confers lifelong immunity. Thus, measles though so common, almost never occur twice in the same person. Up to the present, unfortunately medical science has found no way of protecting a child against measles as can be done against diphtheria. Such protection as we can give lasts only for two or three weeks, and hence, it is usually given only after a child is known to have been icx posed to the disease. Three substances are used for producing temporary protection against measles. Convalescent serum, secured from a person who, is recovering from measles; immune globulin prepared from, the plgeenta or afterbirth and a substance taken from the blood "which

Fund raising committees will be setfg*jp in the cities and Governor Ces assures Hoosiers that every ny donated will be used to purchase and improve the tract. The state conservation department will spend millions in developing the Shades Into the states fifteenth park. The area is largely covered with native timber alFd state turner ship will preserve it for coming generations. 0 O « Cities grow and boundary limits are extended, while at the same time, school systems are consolidated, the institutions of learning being more closely woven together as a matter of economy and efficiency. Such is the case in our town. expanded on all sides and ggw housing additions have been annexed in the south, east and west sections. Our grade schools are housed under J one roof at the Lincoln building. It would appear that parents will ; seek legislative authority to meet I the situation in regards to trans- 1 portation to and from school. It is a far trek for the tiny tots from Stratton Place, Master Drive, the Homesteads and other similar additions to the site of the present school, formerly considered the center of population.

is known as gamma globulin. t To prevent an attack, these subr stances must be given ! into a muscle within three days i barter the child has been exposed to I 4he measles. If given five or six i days after exposure to measles,' i they will make the attack milder. ; For a complete preventive measure, ; some tildes two doses are used. > The firstgiven as soon after ex- ■ posure as possible, and the second five or six days later. 1 The treatment which Dr. Archii bald L. Hoyne, of Chicago, employs, in measles in our Chicago tagious Disease Hospital, is as follows: The patient is put to bed in . a well ventilated room. The drug known as amidopyrine is adminis- ( teredAhree or four times daily for a period of three to four days. Dr. Hoyne has never seen any harmful I effects from the use of this preparation in the proper way. He has found that this drug reduces fever, lessens the cough and may even be helpful in diminishing the possibilities of complications. He has also found that the convalescent measles serum is of doubtful value after the patient I has contracted the disease, and ■ also that the use of gamma globulin i does not seem to be justified. If a patient with measles devel-I ops pneumonia, he should be pia- i ced in. an oxygen tent and given one of the sulfonamide drugs; or penicillin. An unfortunate complication of measles which may develop is encephalitis or inflammation of the brain. When this occurs, it generally develop® on the fourth or fifth day after the skin rash appears.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN INSPECTOR GRANGE was (peaking. “There’s a point I want to put to you, M. Poirot. This Miss Cray, the actress —she, traipses over here ; borrowing matches. If she wanted to borrow matches -why didn’t she come to your place <mly a step or fcfo away ? Why come about half a mile?” Hercule Poirot shrugged his shoulder ’ "There Blight be reasons. Snob reasons, shall we say? My little i cottage, it is small, unimportant, I am only a week-ender, but Sir 1 Henry and Lady Angkatell are im- < portant—they live here—they are I what is called gentry in the county. This Miss Veronica Cray, she 1 may have wanted to get to know < them —and after all, this was a I way.” Inspector Grange got up. < "Yes,” he said, “liat’s perfectly possible, of course, but one doesn’t 1 want to overlook anything. Still, i I’ve no doubt that everything’s go- < ing to be plain sailing. Sir ; has identified the gun as one t>f his collection. It seems they were 1 actually practicing with it the aft- : ernoon before. All Mrs. Christow : had to do was to go into the study and get it from where she’d seen Sir Henry put it and the ammunition away. It’s all quite simple.” “Ses,” Poirot murmured. *st see fits all quite simple." Just so, he thought, would a woman like Gerda Christowjpommit a crime. Without subterfuge or complexity—driven suddenly to violence by the bitter anguish of a narrow but deeply loving nature. And yet surely — surely, she would have had some sense of self-preservation. Or had shp acted in that blindness—that darkness of the spirit—when reason is entirely laid aside? He recalled her blank, dazed face. He did not know—he simply did not know. But he felt that he ought to know. * <■ * Gerda Christow pulled the black dress up over her head and let it fall on a chair. Her eyes were piteous with uncertainty. She said, “I don't know. ... I really don't know. . . . Nothing seems to matter.” "I know, dear, I know.” Mrs. Patterson was kind but firm. She knew exactly how to treat people who had had a bereavement. "Elsie is wonderful in acrisis," her family said of her. At the present moment she was sitting in her sister Gerda’s bedroom in Harley Street, being wonderful. Elsie Patterson was tall and spare, with an energetic manner. She was looking now at Gerda with a mixture of irritation and compassion. 3 Poor dear Gerda—tragic for her to lose her husband in suth an awful way—and really, even now, she. didn’t seem to take in the—well, the implications properly! Os course, Mrs. Patterson reflected, Gerda always was terribly slow. And there was shock, too, to take ■into account r She said in a brisk voice, “I think I should decide? on that blademarocain at twelve guineas." Gerda stood motionless, her brow puckered. She said hesi- ' tantly: “I don’t really know if John liked mourning. I think I once heard him say he didn't” John, she thought, If Jofen

It would look most odd if you turned up in bright blue.” Gerda said, “That awful inquest” and half shut her eyes. "Terrible for you, darling,” said Elsie Patterson quickly. “But after it is all over you will come straight down to us and we shall take great care of you.” The nebulous blur of Gerda Christow’s thoughts hardened. Ste said, and her voice was frightened, almost panic-stricken: “What am I going to do without John?” Elsie Patterson knew the answer t&that one. “You’ve got your children. You’ve got to live for them.” Zena, sobbing and crying, “My daddv’s dead!” Throwing herself on hm- bed. Terry, pale, inquiring, shedding no tears. An accident with a revolver, she had told them—poor Daddy has had an accident. Beryl Collier (so though’.iul of Im?) had confiscated the morning papers so that the children should not see them. She had warned the servants, too. Really, Beryl had been most kind and thoughtful. Terence coming to his mother in the dim drawing room. His lips pursed close together, his face almost greenish in its odd pallor. “Why was Father shot?” “An accident, dear. I—l can’t talk about it.” "It wasn’t an accident. Why do you say what isn’t true? Father was killed. It was murder. The paper says so.” “Terry, how did you get a paper? I told Miss Collins —” He had nodded —queer repeated nods like a very old man. “I went out and bought one, of TOurse. I knew there must be something in them that syou weren’t telling us, or else why'’did Miss Collier hide them?” It was never any good hiding truth from Terence. That queer, detached, scientific curiosity of his had always to be satisfied. “Why was he killed, Mother?” She had broken down then, becoming hysterical. “Don’t ask me about it—don’t talk about ipJ-I can’t talk about it . . . it’s all too dreadful.” “But they’ll find out, won’t they? I mean they have to find out. It’s necessary.” So reasonable, so detached. • . . It made Gerda want to scream and laugh and cry. She thought, He doesn't care—he can’t care—he just goes on asking questions. Why, he hasn’t cried, even. Terence had gone away, evad- • ing his Aunt Elsie’s ministrations, a lonely little boy with a stiff pinched face. He had always felt alone. But it hadn’t mattered until today. Today, he thought, was •'different. If only there was someone who would answer questions reasonably and intelligently. _ X,

And something stirred — took root —grew ... a slow anger. Beryl Collier tapped on the bedroom door and came in. She was pale, composed, efficient. She said: “Inspector Grange is here.” And as Gerda gasped sKd looked at her piteously, Beryl went on quickly, “He said there was no need for him to worry y#tt. have a word with you before he goes, but it is just routine questions about Dr. Christow’s practice and I can tell him everything he wants to know.” “Oh, thank you, Collie.” Beryl made a rapid exit and Gerda sighed out: "Collie is such a help. She’s bo practical.” “Yes, indeed,” said Mrs. Patterson. “An excellent Secretary, I’m sunk Very plain, poor girl, isn’t she? Oh, well, I always think that’s just as well. Especially with an attractive mail like Johjj was.” Gerda flamed out at her: “What do you mean, Elsie ? John would never—he never—you talk as though John would have flirted or something horrid if he had had a pretty secretary. John wasn’t like that at all.” "Os course not, darling,” said Mrs. Patterson. “Rut after all, one knows what men™ re like!” In the consulting room Inspector t Grange faced the cool, belligerent , glance of Beryl Collier. It was bel- ’ ligerent. He noted that. Well, perhaps that was only natural. Plain bit of goods, he thought. Nothing between her and the doctor, I shouldn’t think. She may ( have been sweet on him, though. . It works that way sometimes. But not this time, he came to the conclusion, when he leaned, r back in his chair a quarter of afthour later. Beryl Collier’s answers 1 to his questions had been models of clearness. She replied promptly, f and obviously had every detail of 5 the at her fingeri tips. He shifted his ground and 1 began to .probe gently into the relations existing between John r Christow and his wife. They had been. Beryl said, on j excellent terms. "I suppose they quarreled every > now and then like most married . couples?” The inspector sounded easy and confidential. t “I do not remember any quart rels. Mrs. Christow was quite devoted to her husband—really quite t slavishly so.” 1 There was a faint edge of contempt in her voice. Inspector Grange heard it -j Bit of a feminist, this girl, he e thought. e Aloud he said: i “Didn’t stand up for herself al all?” “No. Everything revolved around • >Dr. Christow." f “Tyrannical, eh?” t Beryl considered. j "No, I wdaidn’t say that .> ■ But he was what 1 should cali 8 .. very selfish man. He took it foi e granted that Mrs. Christow woulc always fall in with HIS ideas.” (To Be Continued)
