80 says "A Dispatch I'm Detroit Poner
But the Item Was orr I'm O1her
Respects-Twin City Tales.

The following dispatch was printed in
the Detroit Evening News of Wednesday:
HANCOCK, Mich, December 16. 1896
- Dr' L. Nj. Rhodes, physician at the
FRANKLIN mine. has been making single
handed fight against the use of anti.tox-
Inc ever since the first case of dipbtberia
was reported in Hancock. He claims
the death OF Miss Jennie Hooking was
not due to diphtherIa, but to use of anti.
toxlne, which he calls fad" and no

Or. Rhodes has sent a scorching letter

board OF health.
The doctor challenges the board NJ
health to visit his location, search the
records and see how many cases of dipb-
therla he has cured with light doses of
calomel." "
There are facts and also misstatements
IN the dispatch. IL is true that. since
two cases in West Hancock, diagnosed by
Dr. Rhodes as dIphtheria, were deter.
mined by the health officer not TO he that
disease, the former has been making n
singie-handed fight against not only the
use OF antl-toxine in the treatment Of
dlphtheria, but against old established
theories OF the disease az well.
Dr. Rhodes believes that any case Of
diphtheria can be cured il taken when less

terlzes the orders of the State board Of
health, backed up by State law though
they may be, for the isolation and MA
cardlng OF cases as 'eyidence OF imbecil-
lily or worse" How much there is in
this the readers OF the NEWS NAV Judge
for themselves.
In the case OF Miss Jennie Hooking both
the attending physicians and the reIa-
tives say no anti-toxine was used and DIR.
Rhodes since learning this has with.
drawn any comment he may have made.
The doctor knew nothing of the
sending OF the dispatch and he has
sent no ''scorching letter. to DIR. Baker.

THE WORK OF HOUSEKEEPING.
1t May lie Made More Easy by Econom-
icaI Arrangement.

1t is of no use pretending hat house
keeping is easy; it isn't. 1t is hard
work. However. there are ways OF more
OF less alternating the hardship. and
some OF them have been discovered by
Il family in the suburbs, where servants
are generally unsatisfactory and uncer-
tain of tenure. This particular house
hold consists of Il mother and two
daughters. If they are left maidless-
and that is no occurrence
in village life-they perform the dIsa-
greeable feat known ~provincial!y rs
doing ones own work." after 4 plan
which they have evolved. One prepares
the breakfast one morning, luncheon
the next day, and dinner on the next.
The other two clear away and wash the
dishes. Thus each one is responsible for
n different meal each day, and has no
other concern except the mere rnenial
labor. Whoever gets the breakfast does
the upstairs work as we'll that day.
Another plan of this family. even
when they have servants. is to divide the
catering. seeing after the meals, etc,
among themselves, so that it shall not
prove so wearisome a task to anyone.
They each take turns by the week in
marketing. planning food and oversee
ing its cooking. This gives Il much
greater variety for the table, and is
good practice for the daughters as well
rs relief TO the mother. Likewise it IS
an economical arrangement. Each man
ager makes it a point Of prid" 20 see
how well she can run the house on tlfc
least possible sum. as there is the cont
parison every Saturday night with tire
accounts of the other two to spur iler on
to her best endeavors.-Roston budget

Some conception of the manner in
which the Catholic church is spreading
