The new serum treatment for dphtheria, is one
from Consul General Charles De Kay. at Ber-
lin, exhibiting the efficacy OF the new treat
ment by comparison. He says that the
establishment at Schering, near the Jungfern
Helde, has forty horses under treatment for
the production OF serum. yet the demand for
the article has been so great that the hospl-
tails ran out OF II in September. This had
singular effect on the death rate. While for
diphtherIa In children under four. the most
difficult sort, the rate had sunk to | / per cent.
before the exhaustion OF the store of serum,
II rose during October TO 60 per cent.
The serum is costly, because establishments
for its production are few; IL takes long
while TO prepare. and must be had compara-
lively fresh. II IL given out that Il takes at
least nine months, and sometimes n yenr 20

and Native Land" delegates representing

thousands OF wearers Of the white ribbon, as
sembled in Music hall, Cleveland, to open
the twenty-nrst annual convention of the
women's Christian Temperance Union.
The feature OF the convention was the
speech OF Miss Frances willard. In 1t she
said.
The aggregated and systematic self-respect
OF women is making itself felt against the
debasing exhibitions OF her form. whether
pictured or real, before audiences Of immoral
men. The victory gained by Mrs. Henry

the Lond - .,unty coun N which caused II
by n vote OF TO 80 to refuse liquor and prom
enade licenses, so that prominent places OF
amusement In London are closed, Is perhaps
the strongest proof that better day has
dawned. and deserves to rank beside the
victory OF women in Kentucky over the per
jured Breckenridge and OF women In New
York over the tiger OF Tammany.
/ strongly urge that committee be ap-
pointed by the convention to ascertain in
how many capitol buildings in the different
States strong drink Is sold to our Legislators
either covert or openly. i support the ap-
pointment OF u cabinet minister to supervise
public amuseinents. and OF committees in
every locality. among whom women should
have IA place, TO consider the best method OF
catering TO the people in their recreation
hours to that the whole amusement question
should be lifted TO the plane OF reason and
