IBB ¦ ¦ STATE DEPARTMENT OP HEALTH OFFICER AT TOWSON SAYS SCARLET FEVER IS NOT TO BE PLAYED WITH. It Is Acute Contagion And Self-Limited—Cause Not Known; Dr. Josiah Bowen Cites Some Precautionary Measures And Recommends Isolation. ft s MACCAR 1 to 5 Tons The Truck of Continuous Service For reference we will refer you to a few people with a reputation, such as Dennis Carter, H. T. Campbell & Son, Miles Carroll, E. F. Murray, W. W. Boyce, H. G. Pocock, R. M. Lee, Walter Ford, John Lynch, Morris Ward, Frank Harr, Kenny & Zhik. Numerous cases of scarlet fever have been reported in Baltimore County recently and Dr. Josiah Bow-en, in charge of the State Department of Health office, at Towson, says the disease is not one to be played with. According to Dr. Bowen, scarlet fever, scarlatina and Scarlet rash are all one and the same disease; \ It is an acute contagion and self-limited. The period of incubation is usually from 2 to 6 days; that of invasion from 12 to 24. hours; that of eruption from 4 to 6 days; and that of desquamation from three to six weeks. The cause of scarlet fever is not known, but as streptocci are almost always found in the blood and the throats of cases, it is the opinion of some authorities (Holt, Klein and Kurth), that some one type or a conglomeration of several types of streptococci may be the cause. The susceptibility of children to scarlet fever is much less than to that of measles; still it is much greater than adults. About one-half of the children exposed contract the disease,-while only about five per cent, of the adults do so. For a long time it was believed that scarlet fever was transmitted by the scales of the epidermis resulting from desquamation, and that this stage of the disease was the most dangerous time for its.spread. We all have heard the oft-repeated story—how, some years ago, a child having this diseases died—the mother for some sentimental reason carefully put away the child's toys, and how, in later years brought them out for other children to play with and that these children immediately contracted the disease, giving rise to the idea that the scales of the first child had gotten into the toys and then coming in contact with the other children, they naturally contracted the disease. If such a story has any real truth in it, the truth is limited to the facts: First that a child did have scarlet fever, played with the toys, and died. Second, that the toys were put away and in after years were brought out and given to other children to play with; Third, that these children did contract the disease. It is quite Impossible, however, for the toys to have remained infected all that time—the illness in the second children was simply a coincidence. The infection is now considered to be found in the secretions of the nose throat and respiratory tract and eliminated by the nose and mouth. It is also said to be eliminated by the sweat glands, feces and urine. It is usually spread from the case itself or from a carrier by the droplet form of infection—infected utensils, clothes, towels, etc. Infected milk may spread the disease and one iuvestigaator (Trask) collected data in 51 epidemics which were milk borne. Of course the milk was infected by one who had the disease or a carrier. There is no accurate way of determining just how long one remains infective after an attack of scarlet fever. Rosenau says that "fifty days may be taken as an average." In New Hampshire and Seattle cases are dismissed after desquamation, and in North Dakota 5 days after desquamation. In the South Department of the City Hospital, Boston, children are kept 50 days. The American Public Health Association's Committee on Communicabale Diseases are of the opinion that the period of communicability is from four weeks from the onset of the disease, and until all open sores have healed and all abnormal discharges have ceased. I have known several secondary or contant cases to occur 21 days after all clinical signs have disappeared. It is equally true of scarlet fever as in diphtheria that carriers result and their period of infectivity is indefinite. Methods of control, are: First,— Recognition of the disease. Contacts with all known cases should be examined and history obtained. Second.—Isolation. In home or hospital, maintained in each case until the end of the period of infectivity. Third.—Quarantine. Exclusion of food handlers from their work, until five days have elapsed since last exposure to a recognized case. Exclusion of exposed susceptible children and teachers from school if daily observations by a doctor or nurse are not possible. Fourth.—Concurrent disinfection of all articles which have been in contact with a patient and all articles soiled with discharges of the patient. Burn everything that is burnable without an economic loss; boil everything that is boilable; wash everything that is washable with soap and water and allow the room to air well for several days. Pillows and mattresses should be placed in direct sunlight for several days, turning them each day. General Measures. 1. Daily examination of exposed children and other possibly exposed persons for a week after last exposure. 2. Schools should not be closed where daily observation of the children by a doctor or nurse is available. 3. Education as to special danger of exposing young children to those exhibiting acute catarrhal symptoms of any kind. In fact the immediate isolation of all sick persons no matter what the symptoms are until a diagnosis is made. 4. Pasteurization of milk supply for cities, towns and large villages. Where pasteurization is not possible or not desired to see that all milk consumed raw is produced under the best hygienic conditions, promptly cooled and immediately thereafter distributed and kept on ice. 5. Patient should be given daily bath—soap and water, using rough wash cloth, carbolia or bichloride of mercury following. Nose and throat sprayed with Dobell's solution. In conclusion too much emphasis cannot be laid on the question of quarantine—for if five per cent, of all adults exposed and fifty per cent, of all children exposed contract the disease, one can readily imagine how the infection can spread. Six weeks or longer makes little difference in children of per-school age—but such a length of time in the school age is too great an economic loss. Three weeks from the date of onset provided there are no abnormal discharges, sores or enlarged glands, or two weeks after all clinical symptoms have cleared up and no abnormal discharges, sores or enlarged glands, should in my opinion be sufficient time of quarantine. Secondary cases developing from such quarantined cases after such a period are probably due to the primary case resulting in a carrier and as such would be just as apt to remain infective for several more weeks and hence be just as liable to communicate the disease to others. BUSINESS CONDITION IN ELECTION YEARS—1924 PROMISES EXPANDING INDUSTRY. (Continued from Page 1) on the average above normal, while in the other seven years they were mostly below normal. Stock prices averaged above normal Jn four of the years, and below in iix, while the index of general business was above normal five times and below it five times. Taking the three comparisons together for the ten years this makes a total of twelve annual balances above normal as against eighteen below it. For the first years in each Presidential term immediately following the election years the totals are sixteen above and fourteen below. For the second years after election they are sixteen above and fourteen below, and for the third years they are fifteen above and fifteen below. The clear evidence of the figures is that, during the past four decades, election years have been on the whole less favorable to finance and business than have other years. It is noteworthy, also, that this balance against the election years has been more pronounced for the bond and stock prices than it has for the index of general business. Another interesting fact, which may go far toward explaining the strength and persistence of the common belief that election years are bad for business, is that no fewer than four of the ten election years were times of ***?*+***«***+*******+**** STAR MARKET * SPECIAL FOR THIS WEEK Best Prime Roast 23c 3-Cornered Roast 23c Rump Rrast 22c Choice Veal Cutlets 38c Sirloin Steak 33c Porterhouse 38c Spring Lamb Chops 4Xc All Pork Sausage 25c Smoked Sausage 20c Ground Keef 18c Sugar 10>ic lb.

United Motors HARRISON serious panics or depressions, while one was a year of rapid business decline followed by a year of depression. In 1884, in 1904 and in 1908 there were serious business and financial depressions preceded by panics. In 1896 business was at very low levels, and in 1920 a rapid decline was under way. On the other hand, in 1892 and in 1912 business was booming while in 1916 the pre-war prosperity was in full swing. The general conclusion of the study is that, while election years have for a long time past made records In finance and business that are on the average poorer than those of other years, there is no conclusive evidence in this material to indicate any reliable relationship between the occurrence of Presidential elections and the condition of business. During some of the past ten election years, business was poor, and in others it was good. In some it was turning upward from depression toward recovery. In others it was turning down from prosperity toward hard times. In still others its trend was uncertain. The strong probabilities are that the industrial, commercial and financial destinies of 1924 will be mostly shaped by factors that are economic in nature and origin, and only slightly influenced by politics. Indications point that the first half of 1924 will be a season of expanding industry. At least so think most of the bank reviewers and a score of business leaders, their con elusions being largely based on good money conditions and small sup plies of goods. THE HENRY H.
