While measles itselt is not gener- |ally a serious disease, its complica- ;ncns are sometimes so severe that |they result n death or in disabilities ich last throughout life. Further- more, the disease Is unusually con- ous, and conditions are especially serfous when it develops in an in- stitution such as a school or orphan- age housing large numbers of chil- |dren. | The search for a general measure |of prevention has therefore been a |continuous one, and is only now be- {ginging to offer what appears to be |extremely promising developments. ! Prevention Unfortunately, we have not yet for measles the specific org citic methods of prevention that are avallable for diphtheria and scarlet fever. True, several investigators have reported the isolation of organ- isms, and have offered evidence in support of their contention that Ithese are the direct cause. None |of the evidence thus far available {has been sufficient to convince the | majority of bacteriologists that the nism concerned Is definitely es- tablished as the causative agent. The most promising methoc creating resistance to measles con- st in the injection into those ex- posed to the discase of the serum or fluid matter of the blood of chil Iren who hdve recently recovered from the disease. In New York city omre than fifteen hu shildren in institutions in which cases of reasles were prevalent received such preventive injections.

Suspicion also | points to golden-haired, vivacious | Bunny Moore, because ot her re- | fusal to answer questions at the in- | quest. Myra Heath was a peculiar wom- an. She never' used cosmetics, never wore colors. She had a mania | for collecting glass, and it was a rare old whiskey bottle that was the | instrument of her death. Candles were burning at her head and feet when a maid discovered {and nearby was a card marked “The Worth of Perry Heath.” Strangest f all, she was heavily made up and ed with gay colors. The strangest thing about Heath’s disappearance is the fact that all the H windows and doors had been locked yon the inside the night before and were found that way in the morn- ing.

Mrs. ntiss, 1 felt sure that you knew something about the affair but as you were not called up, you couldn't—or didn't tell it.” “Well, T declare!” cried the aston- ished woman. “Now however did vou guess that?
