Scarlet fever caused oyer 500 deaths in Canada last year, over one-half of these being in young ehildron, How Scarlet Fever Spreads,—The disease Is spread by; the secretions o'f the mouth, nose and dischr,rgiug ear. While many physicians believe it is • carried by the fine particles of skin ° given off in peeling, real evidence of this is lacking. Whatever the active cause, it is highly resistant and re- qionquires thorough f t of the led'u e i um r c discharges of the nose, mouth :and ear.. The first symptosis of scarlet fever may be headache, fever, vomiting and sore throat. After a day or two, a y scarlet rasheeppears. This rash cov- ers the body and resembles a severe sunburn. After the rash disappears the akin' begins to peel off in. fine hakes, There are many forms of scar- let fever, from the very mild type in which the symptoms are so slight and fleeting as hardly to attract attention, to the severe types in which death rapidly results. AI2 forms of scarlet/ fever are equally dangerous to the nubile, for a fatal attack may result from contact with the mildest ease. In epidemics some cases occur without a rash, or with a rash so fleeting that it passes unnoticed. When scarlet. fever or diphtheria prevail in a cam- , =unity any child with sore throat, headache and vomiting, or any one of these symptoms, should be seen by a doctor and kept away from other chil- dren until the nature of the trouble is clear Scarlet fever is often spread in school by children who are in the very early stages of the disease or net, corn pletely recovered from it, These chi]- dren will spread the disease to others ' in school and elsewhere by means of the fine mouth spray given off in talk- ing, through pencils placed in the mouth, through the drinking cup used in'connnon, and by means of the towel and handkerchief used by more than one child. Note that the proper safe- guard against spread of scarlet fever among school children is not to close the schools but to institute a careful system of medical suuervision of the children in the schools. With the schools closed, children are removed` from all medical control and the dis- ease will continue to spread unchecked as they gather outside the classroom.: If they are kept in school, under the watchful eyes of physicians and nurse es, children suspected of having the disease or ]mown to have been exposed can be sent. home and isolated before they do any damage. In this way, school work continues with the least possible interference and the disease will. be brought under control in the hortest possible time, honey is used in cooking it must be remembered that every cup of honey contains about 14 liquid, therefore, the amount of liquid that the recipe calls for must be cut down in proportion.
