We’re agreed on that, so it’s plain the only way to
make a profitable busi.iess is to sell again and again to the
same customer.
But the customer w mt come back to buy
again unless he is satisfied the first time.
So we find that its giving satisfactory goods, satisfac

one of the comparatively harmless
ailments incident to childhood, caus
es annually nearly three times as
many deaths as smallpox, says the
Georgia State Board of Health.
These figures will cause many peo
ple to take an entirely new viow of
this highly epidemic disease with
which practically all communities
at one time or another have had
experience.
Few mothers realize that for chil
dren under five years of age the
percentage of deaths from measles
is sometimes nearly ten out of every
hundred. The disease, however, is
one which powerfully illustrates the
truth of the old proverb that “an
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure,’’ for if the child cs-
• apes measles until after it is five
years of age, th© changes of death
ire rapidly decreased, so that among
children from five to ten years of
age, the death rate Is only one out
of every hundred, and from ten
veare on up is even less than one
per cent.
Measles commonly occurs In epi
demics, attacking children for the
mdst part, and its prevalence at
one time or another in every sec
tion of the country, nas led the
public to think of it as a trivial and
slight disorder, which must occur
one© In a life time, and that the
sooner a child has it and gets over
it, the better it is for the child.
But persons who take this vie*
forget not only the danger of death
among younger children, but the
fact that measles often leaves the
patient with some serious and per
manent troubles of the eyes, ears,
heart or kidneys.
Highly Contagious.
Measles is a highly contagious
disease, accompanied by inflamma
tion of the air passages, and a pe
culiar, mottled, dusky-red erupt toil
of the skin. One attack usually pro^
fcects a person against the disease
for the remainder of life. Measles
is an exceedingly old disease, and
has been afflicting mankind for
hundreds of years. Careful studies
have sbowm that measles, like
whooping cough, is spread directly
from ease to case, and is rarely if
»ver conveyed Indirectly by infected
objects or by a third person. But
t can he acquired by a very slight
exposure or contact with one who
ilrrady has it. Practically every
body is susceptible to It, and It
spreads rapidly wherever It appears
’n localities containing those who
have not previously had It.
One of the things that makeB
upeslcs most difficult to control. Is
he fact that a patient with measles
may convey it to others very early
*n the course of the disease, before
‘he ©ruction appears at all, and be
fore a diagnosis can be properly
made. The patient is highly Infec-
1 ious for three or four days before
the rash has appeared.
When a child is exposed to meas-
sles, from ten to fourteen days
elapse before any symptoms of the
disease appear. Usually at the end
of about ten days the patient be
gins to manifest symptoms of 111-
The development of the
ease is usually gradual and Insid
ious, though more rarely it will
come on suddenly with vomiting
and high fever. Normally the first
symptoms are those of an ordinary
cold, the eyes are reddened and
wattery, the nose runs freely, and
there is a dry, high-pitched cough.
The throat may he sore, the tonsil.-
swollen; headache, fever and loss of
appetite follow. The disease is ac
companied by fever, which disap
pears at certain stages and then ro-
cveurs. The eruptions show first
on the lining of the mouth. Then
domes the eruption of the skin, be
ginning usually around the face
fund nook, composed of small, slight
ly elevated spots, of a dusky red
color. Thp eruption lasts usually
four or five days and disappear as
the other symptoms improve.
Get a Physician.
Every case of measles should be
attended by a competent physician.
Neglect of an apparently triflin'*
case may mean life-long Injury t<
the eyes, ears, heart and other or
gans.
Th# contagious of measles is hard
control, but with the active co
operation of mothers and fathers
its spread can always be checked.
This cannot be done by any public
officials or any health department
alone. If parents will use their ef
forts to prevent well children from
becoming infected by keeping them
away from children who have
cently had the measles or who have
been exposed to It, and if parents
wfill promtly isolate any older
children who may contract it, the
dangers of spreading the disease
will be materiallv lessened.
Health authorities should notify
the public of the existence of mea-
i ? ea in a house by placing a carl
n & door, and children from houses
infected with moaslee should be ex-
1 ded f-om school -while there is
any danger of their being Infected.
During the prevalence of the dis
cos© In a community, ©very school
ohild should be examined for early
symptoms. Scientists and physi
cians still have a great deal to learn
bout measles, both as to Its cause
and the manner of spreadiln?; but
while th© measures already devised
ore far from perfect, they will ac-
omplfsh much. If the public

There was some strap in Fletch-

thirty o’clock. The fight was evi
dently between three negroes and
one of them was left on the field of
battle very much disfigured and in a
white lady’s yard. He had
dently been worked on about
cranium with a stout fence palin,
and the fact that he was no paper
skull probably saved his life. His
name is Quincy Woodward and his
opponents are un-named and un

with tho local United States Dis
trict Attorney’s office. The Journal
Is denouncing aa an outrage the lm-

Hailes and his mountain bride, who
were arrested on their honeymoon
six months ago and have been lmprls-

since—simply as witnesses.
Says the editor of the Journal,
“If the district attorney’s office at
Atlanta cannot or will not do some
thing to rttiere this brutal situation
forthwith, then In behalf of common
ht"-an rights the department
Justice at Washington should take
action.’’
During the six months that the
young bride and groom have been
confined in. a cell—It happens to bo
one of the death cells—the federal
officers have been making an un
fruitful effort to capture the two
