A NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TC LOCAL AND GENERAL K*W* AND THE INTERESTS OP CEDAR- VILLE AND VICINITY. FORTY-EIGHTH YEAR NO. 10. CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1925 PRICE; $1.50 A YEAR SCARLET FEVER VET MYSTERY TO DOCTORS Feeling that the people of Cedar- ville should bo given an opportunity to know the most and -best proven facta with regard to Scarlet Fever without going through tedious case histories and laboratory data and real izing that this canot better be placed before them than by quoting direct from the very able paper on Searlet Fever reed by Dr. R, H. Grube before the Greene County Medical Society, we herewith present the following excrepts from his paper: “* * * * In the effort to find the specific germ of scarlet fever and apply to it Kock’s postulates all sorts of methods were tried. I will mention only a few of them. Considering first the time honored l scale transmission theory, experiments were made by making emulsions of; the scales arid robbing them into the skins of healthy nonimmune children,; spraying the throats and by subcutaneous injec tion, without results. Takahnshi, a Japanese experimenter injected the blood and serum from active cases of fever into his own five children and- also sprayed their throats with an emulsion made! from the throat, secre tion of the anginal stage of the fever likewise without results. Dick, work ing with volunteer students who were so far as it was possible to determine, . nonimmune to the disease, repeated these experiments and made others using cultures, in various media, of the bacterial flora of scarlatinal an ginas. And while there were trans ient anginas and even some mild rash es accompanying these experiments both Dick and .Hektoen concluded that no genuine case of scarlet fever was ever caused by experimentation up to the time of Dick’s final success. After a long series of fruitless efforts Dick took the pus from the finger o f a nurse which became infected while the nurse was on duty in a scarlet fe ver ward and making cultures isolated two strains of hemolytic streptococci both of,which produced typical scarlet fever in hie student volunteers. While scarlet fever has. been much milder during the past, few decades , than it formerly was it is still a men ace to the community as well as a source of annoyance to the schools and to families because of the quaran tine measures necessary. Then too, there hc-s been an average death rate in Ohio during the last few years of about three hundred cases. Then there is the ever present menace that the infection may take the same virulent characteristics that it had in earlier times. Not only are the actual rava ges of the disease to be considered but . the remoter sequeale which are some times very dangerous. Besides the impaired hearing following the otitis •of scarlet fever and the impairment of the-kidneys the toxin may do ser ious damage to the central nervous system. It is the missed cases that give the most trouble to the sanitarian. Many young children pass through the en tire course of the disease without the knowledge of even the parent and it is not until a brother or sister or play mate gets it in a severer form that the primary case is recalled. I have already spoken of the sequelae of the disease and only farther dwell on the dangers of some of them in perpetuat ing the disease. It has long been known that the discharge from a sup purating ear following scarlet fever carries the infection as long as is con tinues. Probably chronic infection of tonsils and the accessory sinuses do so, also. These sequelae may help to solve the question of the origin o l many obscure cases. Unless our hopes are realized that we are to have, in the near future curative and protective serums, there is no specific treatment for scarlet fever so our main efforts must be ex pended in preventing the spread of the disease. Scarlet fever is far from being the most contagious of the ex- WAS NOT AFFRAID TO anthemata and requires an intimate contact. The prevalent notion that the infection can be carried in the clothing or other fomites is, in the light of many unsuccessful attempts to convey the infection experiment ally, erroneous, The cause of scarlet fever is a living organism and does not live nor thrive very long away from its natural habitat, the human throat. Adults may have the throat infection without the skin eruption and so may become a source of infec tion especially to children with whom they are intimately associated. These acts make quarantine in scarlet fever larticularly irksome. In several in stances I have had to keep families in quarantine as much as three months because as one member would recover another would.come down. The question of disinfection arises frequently. Cleanliness undoubtly helps some and is to be highly com mended, even insisted on. We used to pin our hopes on gaseous fumigation after recovery or death of the patient. In this connection I can do no better than to quote Dr, Haven Emmerson* formerly health commissioner of New York City. Dr. Emmerson said: “We took the'borough of Manhattan and the borough of Brooklyn, each having population of about seventeen hun dred thousand people and experiment ed for a year. In one borough we practiced terminal disinfection with thorough gas fumigation; in the other borough, thorough disinfection with out gas fumigation, and the end re sults were the same in both boroughs. And yet, he added laconically, “They go on burning incense to an unknown god.” Dr. Nancy A. jFinney, Sec., Greene .County Medical Society SOLON TO LOOSE PAPER; WANTS BAKER - VETERINARY REGISTER HIS PROTEST. OHIO NEW! IN BRIEF 4 - Greene County can be proud of her OFFERS SELF FOR SALE State Representative,' R. D, William- Zanesville.—J. T. Cramer, 42,, a. son. A vote was taken last week on blacksmith, offers himself for sale be- a bill in the House to make compul sory valuation of real estate every six year, But six votes were cast a- gainst the measure, Five Republicans and one Democrat and Mr. Williamson was one of the Republicans. The law at present is more or less optional and calls for ten year periods The new bill is being sponsored by city legislators who are continually trying to make it as easy as possible' for tax spenders to raise more tax money. Under the proposed bill the matter of revaluation is compulsory, every six years. No considerationvcan be given as to economic conditions such as fai’mers have been experiencing the past two years. Land values may be high or they may be low, a revaluation under the proposed law must come and there never has yet been a re valuation where there has been a gen eral reduction. We have interviewed.a number of citizens on the proposed law and in every instance both town and country people oppose it, The measure now goes to the Senate. Governor Donahey has expressed himself as against the bill and that he will vetoe it if it reaches his desk. We understand that Representative Williamson agreed to support the bill if it was amended to read for eight years instead o f six. The Republicans are but committing murder, politically, i f . the majority, passed this proposed law over the veto of Governor Donahey. It should be killed in the Senate. UNITED PRESYTERIAN CHURCH SERVICES cause he lias six hujgry children: c Guilty Editor Stroup of the South Solon Advance, who has conducted that pa per for twenty years announced last week that with that issue the paper would be suspended; Editor Stroup is a veteran of the Civil War and is now loosing his eye sight and unable to continue the work.

At ,this time the town needs a' baker arid a veterinary,, For a tiumbei,* of months there was no. physician but. Brother Strout. keep rip the good work and interested a phy sician in locating there. DEWINE ELEVATOR BURNS WITH A TOTAL LOSS The DeWirie elevator at Old Town burned about II o'clock Monday morn ing with a complete loss, No cause can be assigned for the origin of the fire: The plant was used and especially equipped to. manufacture feed. The flames, leaped across the road and cut of telephone and electric power lines. The loss is estimated at $50,000 or more. The mill was one of the land marks of the county and had been erected 80 years and was in good state of preservation, No announcement has been made whether the mill will be rebuilt as the building and contents were only partially insured.

Nein of the Sepncerians follow ed close behind with a basket for his team. The playing of the local five was decidedly of form during the en tire first half but by the aid of the Clevelanders poor guarding and ina bility to make short shots, the Yellow Jackets ran up a lead of nine points before the end of the half, the score being 18-9 at the end of the second quarter. The Spencerians came back strong in the second half and before the locals could come too had the'seore tied and jfrom then on the game was a real bat tle, first the Fifth city crew would be ’ahead.then the Cedarville boys would (take a spurt for a while and lead. Near the close of the half the Spen- | cerians obtained a two point lead and Ithings looked bad for the locals, with a minute left to play.

Home investiga tion committee which seems to have trouble in arising to the sur face. Reports are in circulation that the Committee has nothing to report as it found nothing on which to base an adverse report. The best that we can hear from the committee is that the Chair man took his fellow members on a proverbial snipe hunt' and left them upstream holding a lantern arid an empty bag. BAD LITERATURE SCATTERED IN XENIA SCHOOLS Aid to organizations and authorities, fighting the menace, was promised by the Greene County Board of Education :t an adjourned meeting Monday af ternoon, in a resolution deploring the illeged circulation of obscene litera ture among young people and school children, and the danger arising from alleged use of narcotics and intoxi cants, \ The county board’s action was the result of the agitation which has a- risen.in Xenia recently over discov ery by school -police and juvenile court authoritiesi of a particular dangerous brand of obscene matter which had been circulated among school children , , Ralph Kester, crippled Xenian, is now being held in the county jail, charged with distributing it.

HIGH SCHOOL TAKES TWO Cedarville Hi defeated her old time rivals 'last Friday night at the Alford Gym. when she bested Jamestown in two one sided games, The girls romped away with their game, having little opposition to bother them. Coach Adair substituted freely during the game and ail of the new players showed up well. The Cedarville girls playing such a tight guarding game that Jamestown was not able to get a field goal* making their 5 points on free throws, The ball was in Cedarville’s territory most of the time and when the game ended the local girls were resting comfort ably on the long end of a 25-5 score. Coach Talcott started the boys game with the second, team in the lineup and the scrubs played well for their first half on the floor, displaying a five man defense that the Jamestown boys could 'riot penitrate but their shooting eye was bad and they could not gain a substantial lead. In the last part of the second quarter the regu lars were run in and the half ended in favor of Cedarville. The second half was like the first, the. Cedarville boys having little trouble to connect with the basket. Townsley, Cedarville guard, played a stellar game, allowing few short shots and his fast passing and dribbling was a factor in winuing for his team. Far quar and Toland showed up best for the losers.
