MEASLES A SERIOUS ILL FOR CHILDREN Ceatb Rate Is High—Georgia Board of Health Warns Parents Not to Underestimate Us Danger. Atlaata. Ha.—Measles, a disease looked upon by many as one of the comparatively harmhss ailments in cid nt to childhood, causes annually nearly three times as many deaths as smallpox... says the Georgia State Board of Health. These figures will cause many people to take an entirely new view o£ this highly epidem.c dis ease with which pract.cally all com munities at oae time or another have had experience. Few mothers realize that for child ren under five years of age the per centage og deaths trom measles is* sometimes nearly ten out of every hundred. The disease, however, is one which powerfully illustiates the truth of the old proverb that "an ounce of prevention, is worth a pound of cure, * for if the child escapes measles until after it is five yeais of age, the chauc es ot death are rapidly decreased, so that among children from five to ten years of age the death rate is only one out of eve; y hundred, and from ten years on up is even less than one per cent. Measles commonly occurs in epidem ics. attacking children for the most part, and its prevalence at one time or another in every section of the country, has led the public to think of it as a trival and slight disorder, which must occur once in a life time, and that the sooner a ch id has it and gets over it, the better it is for the child. But persons who take this view for get not only the danger of death among younger children, hut the fact that measles often leaves the patient with some serious and permanent troubles of the eyes, ears, heart or kidneys.
