WASHINGTON LETTER.
I From our Regular Correspondent.l
Washington, .Jan. is, 1«.)0S.
The Democrats in the Senate
held an amusing meeting the other
day in which they attempted to
hold a caucus for the purpose of
presenting a solid opposition to
the Aldrich financial bill. Senator
Stone, commonly known as "Gum
shoe Bill," was the instigator and
for a while his efforts met with en
tire success, but that was only
when he worked among the young
er members of the minority. Then
he tackled Senator Teller. "No,"
said the Senator from Colorado,
"I won't sign any call for a cau
cus against the Aldrich bill. It is
no use. 1 have been here too long
not to know that. The Democrats
never can and never will stand to
gether for or against anything and
1 for one will not be party to mak
ing an exhibition of ourselves.
Suppose we did oppose the Aldrich
bill, what then? We have noth
ing better to offer as a substitute.
Of all the bills that have been writ
ten. or that could be written, we
never could get together behindone.
Bacon has his ideas, Bailey lias his,
I have mine. Culberson has his.
>."<> one of us will yield, and there
you are. I am emphatically op
posed to a caucus. "Then Senator
Stone approached Senator Bailey.
"Oh no, I will not sign a call for
a caucus. " said the Senator from
Texas. "We have nothing better
to offer. Besides, Aldrich lias in
dicated a willingness to accept my
amendment to his bill, providing
that the emergency currency shall
be distributed geographically. I
shall probably amend it in some
other particulars. I think the
railway bond proposition will go
out. You just leave it to me and
don't make any fuss and it will be
all right. I certainly won't be a
party to anv caucus." And so the
Democratic opposition ended, as it
usually does, in talk.
Senator Aldrich, than whom a
cleverer politician has yet to be
born, expects to secure a unani
mously favorable report on his
bill, lie will accept some incon
sequential amendment from Bailey,
all the while paying great deference
to the erudite mind of the Senator
from Texas, he will cajole Teller,
jolly Hale and smooth everybody
down and get his own way in the
end, on all essentials. He has
even got Speaker Cannon with him.
Mr. Cannon is very sensitive about
the standing of the Senate, hates
all references to"the upper house
of Congress" etc., and a little judi
cious deference to his ideas, to
gether with a few common sense
appeals, or hints, in his vast inter
ests as a banker, will do wonders
with the Speaker. Consequently,
Mr. Aldrich has "consulted" the
Speaker at every turn and the way
is paved for the Aldrich bill's
smooth passage when it gets to the
House. Senator Hansbrough, of
North Dakota is the one Senator
thus far, who is standing out for
the interests of the western bank
ers and he has already secured the
adoption o! two amendments which
will make for their interest.
MEASLES KiLLS
MANY CHILDREN
Health Commissi oner Dixon Sounds
Warning to Mothers Who Do Not
Appreciate the Serious Nature
of This Disease.
MORE THAN SCAILLET FEVER
Deaths From Measles Number Two
and a Half Times Those From
Scarlet Fever lmpaired
Eyesight and Hearing
Apt to Follow.
Measles killed 1,403 persons in Penn
sylvania during the year 19UG accord
ing to the record kept by the Bureau
of Vital Statistics of the State Depart
ment of Health. Of these, 1240 were
under five years of age.
During the month of December alone
of this past year, there were reported
to the State Department of Health,
2307 cases of this disease which annu
ally kills about two and one-half times
more children than scarlet fever and
yet continues to be regarded by so
many people with comparatively little
concern.
"How to make the public appreciate
the really serious danger of measles
and get them to observe precautions to
prevent the spread of the disease is
about the hardest problem in educa
tional sanitary work that 1 have en
countered." said State Health Commis
sioner Dixon recently.
"A scarlet fever ease in a neighbor
hood seems to strike terror to every
mother's heart. If quarantine regula
tions are broken by the members of
the infected household our health of
ficers receive immediate complaints
from other parents in the vicinity who
are fearful that the disease may be
transmitted to their own little ones.
This is natural and tight, for scarlet
fever is a dangerous disease, but If we
could only get mothers to be equally
concerned in keeping their children
from the infection of measles, we might
save many a home from the sorrow of
an infant grave.
"If the child who has contracted
measles because it has been carlessly
exposed to the disease escapes death,
too often a terrible affliction follows, as
for instance, seriously impaired hear
ing, damaged eyesight or chronic re
spiratory affections that sadly interfere
with the normal, mental and physical
development. Is it not possible that
mothers will wake up to these real
dangers in meastiles before it is too
late, as a life long sorrow and regret
is the penalty of their carelessness."
Th" seven hundred and fifty town
ship Health Officers of the State De
partment of Health when notified of a
case of measles in their district post
on (he infected premises a placard stat
ing that "all persons are notified of the
presence of measles and are warned of
the danger of visiting or coming in
contact with the occupants of this
house." The Health Officer also leaves
at the house a circular containing the
following instructions for managing
the disease and preventing the spread
of the infection.
"Measles is by no means the harmless
disease it is thought to be by manv
people, since it is shown by the statis
tics of the Department of Health that
in some epidemics more children die
from measles than from Scarlet Fever.
"For this reason it is imperative
that a physician be summoned and
every possible effort made to check the
spread of the disease.
"The patient should be confined to
one room with windows screened,
which room should be well lighted and
ventilated and as remote as possible
from other occupied rooms in the
house.
"There should be neither carpets, cur
tains or upholstered furniture in the
room. In order to confine the infection
to this room a sheet kept constantly
moist with a solution of Bichloride of
Mercury should be hung over the door
way.
"To prepare this solution, dissolve
sight (8) Bichloride of Mercury tablets
in one gallon of hot water.
"All abundance of fresh air should be
admitted to the room, but the patient
should be protected from direct
draugths and strong light.
"The air of the sick room cannot be
disinfected during its occupancy by the
patient.
"The practice of hanging up cloths
saturated with carbolic acid or placing
saucers of Chlorinated Lime or pre
paratory disinfectants in the sick room
Is not only annoying to the patient,
out utterly useless if not injurious.
"All bed and body clothing, includ
ing handkerchiefs, towels, napkins,
tloths, etc., used for the collection of
jischarges from the mouth and nose
should be disinfected before leaving the
lick room.
"For this purpose, use a solution
■nade by dissolving one-quarter (*4) of
i pound of Chlorinated IJme (bleach
ing powder) in eight gallons of water,
allowing such articles to remain in the
solution at least three hours before
being washed.
"Eating utensils should be scalded
*nd remnants of food destroyed by
burning.
"None but those actually in attend
ance upon the patient should be per
mitted to enter the sick room or come
In contact with the patient.
"The nurse or attendant should wear
>nly washable clothing with a protec
ive gown and covering for the hair
ind when leaving tlie sick room should

remove such protective Karnients and
dislnfnct exposed surfaces.
"When the attending physician an
nounces recovery, the patient should fce
given an antiseptic bath under the di
rection of the doctor, especial attention
heinr; paid to the disinfection of the
hair and scalp.
"The antiseptic hntli may be prepar
ed by dissolving two Bichloride of
Mercury tablets in every gallon of hot
water used, this to be followed by a
plain -;oap ami water bath. After bath
ing, the patient should be wrapped in
a clean sheet handed from without and
step into a clean room to dress.
"Following the recovery, death or
removal of the patient, the sick room
and its contents should be disinfected
with formaldehyde gas. This gas may
be liberated by the addition of an of
ficial (U. S. P.) solution of formalde
hyde to potassium permanganate. Six
and one-half (fi%) ounces, by weight,
of commercial potassium permanganate
crystals is required for each pint of the
formaldehyde solution. This amount
of chemicals is sufficient to disinfect a
room ten feet square. In using for
maldehyde gas disinfection, the air of
the room should be both warm and
moist. The latter may be accom
plished by sprinkling the floor or by
suspending wet sheets around the
room.
"Place the crystals in a tin, agate or
iron pail, the capacity of which is over
eight times the quantity of disinfect
ants to be used. This is necessary to
prevent over-flow of the solution due
to effervescence.
"The pail containing the crystals
should be placed at the centre of the
room in a tub or dish pan with a non
conductor such as a stove lid or bricks
under it. since considerable heat Is
given o(J on the mixing the chemicals.
"Caution —It has been recently de
termined that the gas so liberated is
slightly inflammable. The room should
be warm and moist, but, under no cir
cumstances should the chemicals be
mixed and this form of disinfection
performed in the presence of fire or
flame In the room. A separate con
tainer should be sued for every pint
of formaldehyde solution and propor
tionate amount of potassium perman
ganate required. It would be well to
surround the vessel within which the
tainer should be used for every pint
least three feet with some absorptive
materia! to receive any stray bubbles,
thereby protecting the floor or carpet
from any possibility of resulting stains.
"In the preparation of the room for
such disinfection, it should be sealed
with strips of gummed paper or sur
geons' plaster, closing flues, ventila
tors. chimney places and all visible
cracks and crevices about walls, doors
and windows. Open up beds, stand
mattresses on end, open closets, bureau
drawers, trunks, etc., and spread their
contents about the room.
"Fabrics, especially carpets, bed and
body clothing fully unfolded, should be
suspended upon chairs, clothes-lines,
bedsteads, etc., exposing all to the
fumes of the
"When the room is properly sealed,
quickly pour the formaldehyde solu
tion upon the crystals from a wide
mouthed vessel that it may be done
quickly and make a hasty retreat.
"Carefully seal the door of exit, in
cluding the key-hole and crevices about
the door knob and allow the room to
remain closed at least six hours.
"After disinfection soak bed and body,
clothing, et , in a solution made by
dissolving foui- (4) ounces of Chlorin
ated Lime (chloride of lime or bleach
ing powder) in eight (8) gallons of
water.
" ( fter remaining in this solution fsr
three hours they should be removed
and boiled at least one hour.
"After the necessary cleaning the
windows should be opened and th?
room thoroughly aired for two days
before it is again occupied.
"As disinfectant agents are poisonous
when taken internally, such drugs and
solutions should always be plainly la
belled and kept out of the reach of
children.
"Those suffering from this disease
will not be permitted to attend school
prior to the receipt of a certificate of
disinfection issued by the Health Of
ficer.
"Other chMdren in the households
not contracting the disease at the end
of twenty-one (21) days from the date
of 'lie first appearance of the disease
in the house may return to school pro
vided they have not been exposed to
the sick room for that, length of time.
"The use of the word school, wherever
it occurs in the regulations of the De
partment shall mean, public, private,
parochial. Sunday or other school."

Secretary Wilson says, "One of the ob
jects of the law is to inform the consumer

dru<is, and the truth of this claim is now
