Measles led in the number of contagious diseases in Washington County during the month of April and reduced school attendance to a considerable extent in the affected communities, the report of Health Officer W. Ross Cameron submitted to the Board of County Commissioners yesterday, shows. There were 92 cases of measles. Dr.

Cameron reported two cases of meningitis of the acute epidemic type during April, both of which terminated fatally, while during the past few months there have been five cases of the disease, three persons dying. All were in widely separated sections of the county, however. "While the situation at present is not viewed with alarm the facts indicate the necessity for constant vigilance," Dr. Cameron said in his report. "The Board of Health is reminded that cases of this infection have been increasing constantly over the whole of United States during the past five years, it seems important, therefore, that the general public realize something of the nature of the condition when it is present in a particular community.

"Effective control measures depend upon the proper isolation of the patient and the observation by the attending physician and Health Department of those wnc have been in contact with the disease. It is also important that large public gatherings be avoided as much possible in those localities where the disease is present. "Epidemic meningitis is no re- spector of persons; it attacks the rich as well as the poor and often seems to have a preference for healthy young adults. There is a serum for the treatment of the disease which is known to be of value especially when given in the early stages of the infection. There is no preventive serum available at this time." The following were reported during April: Chicken por, gonorrhoea, influenza, pneumonia, 5 21; scarlet fever, syphil- lis.

Yinc'srit's angina. tuberculosis, 16; whooping cough, 12; measles, 92; mumps, 14; erysipelas, meningitis, 3. During the month investigations in connection with outbreaks of various diseases were made at Mau- gacsville, Bridgeport, Blue Mountain, Sharpsburg and Hancock. The schools at Downsville and Rohrersville were given the final Dick test which indicated that the I large majority of the pupils now (are immune to scarlet fever. Mt Lena, Mt.

Can this extra freezing speed for ice cubes be had without affecting the temperature on the food shelves? (Too low a temperature on the shelves trill, of course, injure food.)

extra fast freezing; b. fast freezing; c. below freezing for storage; and d. normal food preservation temperature) automatically maintained without any attention from the owner? Does the refrigerating unit operate often or infrequently? (The fewer "stops" and "starts" the longer the unit will last and the less it costs to run.) How long will the cooling unit continue to cool the refrigerator even though the current is shut off? (Refrigeration should continue for 10 or 12 hours.) Can the back parts of all shelves, even the lowest, be reached without kneeling or sitting down? Has provision been made for keeping vegetables fresh and crisp? Can the refrigerator top be used to "set things down for a while the contents of the cabinet are being rearranged? Will the refrigerator add to tho attractiveness of the kitchen?
