TELLS HOW WHEN AND
WHO CONTRACT THE
SCARLET FEVER
In connection with ef
forts to prevent scarlet fev
er getting a foothold in
Nome, the Nome Daily Nug
get asked Dr. Wm. C. Char
tens, in a special interview
to give a short descriptive
account of some of its sym
toms, effects and who are
most susceptible to contract
ing it, and in what manner.
Following is his account:
“Scarlet fever is an acute
infectious disease character
ized by a sore throat and a
rash on the skin and roof
of the mouth, followed by
shedding of the skin.
“The susceptibility to as
well as the severity of the
disease varies with the per
son’s age. It is essentially a
disease of early childhood
:md is most easily contract
ed end more severe in child
ren under three years of
aee.
“The disease is transmit
ted by direct contact with
the discharges of the nose
and throat of an infected
person or through some ob
ject which the infected per
son has contaminated with
these discharges. Epidem
ics seldom occur except
during the school months.
Not all persons exposed
contract the disease; some
are naturally immune and
one attack of the disease
confers a lasting immunity.
The disease follows an
exposure to a case of scar
let fever in from one to
eleven days—usually in
from two to five days. The
onset of scarlet fever is:
abrupt. The child may go
to school perfectly well
and in the midst, of a class
become suddenly ill with
nausea, vomiting, fever,
and sore throat. The rash
appears about twenty-four
hours later—first on the
back of the neck and on the
chest—from where it rap
idly spreads to the rest of
the body.
“Within a week after be
coming sick the child feels
well enough so that it wants
to be up again, but must be
kept in bed because it is at
this time that the more ser

of Makale, an official com

The Ethiopians were al

Ghibba. Ethiopians fleeing
from the bombardment en
countered an Italian native
column waiting toward the
West, with machine guns
set up. The disorganized
troops lied wildly into the
mountains, leaving many
dead and wounded on the
field.

(By The Associated Press)
Washington, Jan. 11, —
Nine senate votes which
made the president’s bonus
veto stick last year, loom
ed large in the eyes of con
ferees who seek concessions
in the bill which swept
through the House yester
day.
With neither house in
session, and ihe senate mu
nitions committee’s inquiry
into war commerce off un
til Monday, attention cen
tered on the administra
tion effort to build a new
farm program to replace
the AAA, and speculations
are rife over the senate ac
tion on the bonus.
Senate leaders worked
secretly to frame a substi
tute for the cash bonus
measure. Administration
leaders used the nine votes
to force concessions to
ward a conservative bill.
The finance committee is
;o rruL-t . ion Jay to consid
er the b: i. and le :dors look
cd ior a reeom. n mdation
ior some; hing less than a
full cash payment. Jn op
position, bonus b ickers to
day struggled to work out
a plan to win enough vot
es to pass the biil over a
veto, if such occurs.
It was learned that Se
cretary of Agriculture Wal
lace asked Howard R. Toll
ey, soil conservation ex
pert, to hurry from the
West coast to take part in
a farm parley.
The call for Tolley was
considered to be significant,
because President Roose
velt, Wallace and AAA Ad
ministrator Chester Davis,
are said to consider it ad
visable to approach produc
tion control through subsi
dized soil conservation.
The farm session yester
day appointed a committee
of thirteen to prepare and
draft a new program.
