This disease is infectious and contagious.
Develops twelve days after exposure.
The first symptoms are watering of the eyes and running of nose.
Measlesnare often followed by impaired sight—discharge from the ears
and impaired hearing—the lungs are weakened for six months and pneumonia
is common, also consumption is easily caught after measles have weakened
the lungs.
The quarantine period is four weeks from the onset. After the first two
weeks, on the advice of the physician a child may be allowed on the streets;
but only in the care of the parent or guardian — Children without a health
certificate—must not be on the streets.
The school is closed until the quarantine is raised. No children will be
allowed in the picture show without a health certificate—No Sunday school is
permitted until the quarantine is raised.
Parents and nurses will not bo prevented from attending to their usual business vocations, but
should not come directly in contact with those who have not had the measles.
Remember your carelessness may cause someone to be dangerously' ill. ,
If everyone will aid in stamping out this affection a few weeks will find the disease removed from the

deavor to find substitutes lor tlu-so
foods. Many families, it appears, are
discarding potatoes in favor of rice i
and other foods, the prices of which,
remain more nearly normal.
In 1913 the average famii> food bill,
within the United States was found to
be $339.30. Like quantities of the
same focuU in February footed up
$425.54. The greatest element of in
crease is in potatoes, from $18.% to
$44.<& for 882 pounds. Other heavy
increases are in eggs, 85 dozen at
$43.07 from $33.01: flour. 454 pounds,
at 8*25.40 instead of $15.12; and but
ter, 117 pounds at $54.78 in place ot

sirloin and round steak only were |
cheaper in February', 1917, than in;

RUSSIAN POLITICAL j
PRISONERS IN U. S.
FREE TO RETURN
According to an article appealing
in “The Strahdneeks” (The Worker),
a Russian labor paper published in
Washington, I). C., all Russian politi
cal prisoners, who escaped to the
United States, are free to return to
the new Russia.
' A copy of this paper was brought
| to the Gateway office by Fred
Krauzen who interpreted the article
mentioned.
Molokowan, Russian minister of
foreign affairs, states that Russian
embassies in Seattle, San Francisco,
Chicago, New York, and other Ameri
can cities have been instructed to ad
vance fjAcs to those who wuv to re
turn to their home country.
Krauzen says there are a vast num
, ber of escaped Russian political pris
oners in this part of Alaska, who will
! welcome this news.

NEWSPAPER TITLES
i THIS MAN’S HOBBY
! In Columbus, says the Dispatch,
there is a man whose chief joy is in a
• collection of newspaper titles.
There are Headlights, Flashlights,
Bees, Eagles, Owls, Mirrors and
News-Letters, but when it comes to
Derricks, Meddlers, Telescopes, Flags
ami Sunbeams the class is limited.
In Hot Springs there is published the
Arkansas Thomas Cat, and other titles
just as unusual are the Sledge Ham
mer, the Irrespressible. the Silent
Worker and Gall.
Frequently it is possible to tell
from the title of a newspaper the
state in which it is published. For in
! stance, the Chieftain is in Oklahoma,
the Bustler and the Lariat are in
Texas, Big Hole Breezes in Montana,
and the Roundup in Wyoming.
