letter that humanity may be served
and the medical pro fession honored.
The use of diphtheria antitoxin
is recommended in all cases of
and it is especially
recommended that all persons who
have been exposed to diphtheria be
promptly immunized with it.
The justice and propriety of Rule
g is plain when we remember it has
been proved beyond any question
that many simple red throats are
really caused by the true diphtheria
bacillus. A recent writer tells Of a
trained nurse who observed that
wherever she went to nurse diph-
liberia broke out. She had taken
every precaution against carrying
the disease, having taken several
Turkish baths. used antiseptics, and
made an entire change in her
clothes, yet the disease followed her.
Investigation showed her mouth to
be alive with diphtheria bacilli.
She was quarantined and given
thorough antiseptic treatment.
After the bacilli disappeared diph-
liberia did not again show itself in
her track.

COUNTY HEALTH NoTIcE.

The above rules and explanations
were received by me from the State
Board Of Health, with positive in
structions TO have them published,
as the law requires, SO that, under
the statutes Of Indiana, they may
have the full force Of law, and their
violations be punished as provided
by the criminal statutes. Had the
rules been properly observed no
doubt many deaths, and much suf-
fering, would have been avoided in
this county this year. l hope
physicians and citizens will aid ME
in their strict enforcement, for the
public good. As county health Of
ficer am by law compelled to car
ry out the orders of the State Board
of Health, and wish to do my en-
tire duty with as little friction as
possible-but am determined to
clear myself from blame and liabili-
ty. | sincerely trust all physicians,
School Trustees, School Directors,
parents, and people generally will
observe these rules.

brunt of the battle. They are usually
selected because of their activity ana
ability to throw the ball accurately. The
ball is always in motion, for the rules
Of the game do not permit any Of the
players to hold it, or fall on it, as in
football. The ball can be tossed with
one or both hands, or batted with the
open hand, but must not be struck with
the closed fist or kicked with the foot.
Much Of the science OF the game de-
Ponds upon accuracy in throwing the
ball, and the work OF the women at the
Berkeley is an emphatic contradiction
Of the old-time belief that women can
never hit anything they aim at. There
is Miss Anna Sands, for instance, who
is wonderfully clever at all kinds of
sports. She can throw the ball while
running at full speed, so that it will
drop into the basket, or come SO close
to it that one of her side will be able to
catch it and make another try for the
basket.
Young Mrs. Astor is one of the regular
players of the game, and usually cap
tains the team made up Of matrons
Mrs. Aston is tall and quite plump, and
invariably plays at fullback, position
which requires heavy but nimble-foot-
ed player. She is clever at throwing the
ball. but not as accurate as Miss Sands.
The forwards, like the rush line in
football, are the ground gamers for the
team. But the players at Berkeley
do not fancy the shock which coils
ion with the opposing team gives, so
they avoid that kind of play as much as
possible but even then, there is a good
deal Of scrimmaging.
It has been noticed that whenever a
maid and matron comes into violent col
lision it is in the wearers Of the white
who invariably gets the worse Of it.
Weight counts in basketball tremen-
dously, yet to get rid Of some of it is
the very reason why many of the ma
irons play the game.

MISSING, Ex-oHERlFF OF ASTORIA

Return OF Nanderer With Excuses
That Drink Caused HIS Ruin.
Astoria, Or, Jan. 27.-Ex- Sheriff
Smith, whose disappearance some
months ago caused a sensation, has re-
turned. He says whisky was the
cause of the whole affair. He went to
Portland and spent all his money for
drink and was then ashamed to return
home. He went east from Portland
over the Canadian Pacific, and then
sailed for Antwerp. He denies en-
phatically the report that he sailed for
Honolulu with a woman.

An Old Drivers Maxims.

The more whip the less horsemanship
Bad-tempered driver = bad-tempered
team.
Axle grease modifies the grain bill.
There are more balky drivers than ballxv
horses.
The golden rule applies to horses as
much as it does to men.
Whips, like emetics, are to be used very
seldom.
Noisy drivers are like noisy wagons
both empty.
Binders are worth more on the driven
than on the horse.
A horses power is apportionate to his
food.
Five cents invested in sugar is better
than dollar invested in whips.
He who can not govern himself can not
govern horses.

at the close. Smith has a beautiful
twirl. He evidently labors under the
impression that one good turn deserves
another, and in consequence that is the
way he losses the leather.
The funniest man on either side was
Fred Leonard. AS his friends know,
Fred's frontal proportions are quite
extensive, but he didn't seem to mind
yesterday, for with a happy smile,
and the perspiration streaming down
his rudly cheeks in quarts, ne ran
the four bases twice for the Atlas.
Once in the game, part of Mr.. Leonard
was SO far over the plate that AN in

the crowd to go into commissions.
What On earth would the ladies have
done had Charlie Stanton not been
there? His calves were the principal
topic of conversation and his knicker-
bockers Of the John Drew pattern
were simply divine.
Charlie Dull, although a little tame
at first, made most of the game for
the University after they put him in
the box. George Nye played a good
game, and so did Hardness, although
one Of his stops was something like

Scott came up smiling, and in about
forty seconds struck out. Small took
base on balls, then Wayne Smith
and Barnes had whispered consulta-
ton, and in consequence Small was
put out on second.
Charlie Dull took base on balls,
Smith seeming slightly ratified.
Adrian Ellis grabbed a bat from
Joe Gallagher, the tender, and came

is how he did it:

The pitchers were changed time anu

out and he was followed by Griffin ana
Downey.
Leonard, in a splendid effort, reached
second and came in through rotten
play by fairy Causten.
The game went on with one baggers
and "sich" until Griffin merely tossed
the ball to Stanton and it was so easy
that the strike flew wide the mark
and Slant struck out.
Dull came in for the University, and
Hardness brought in Ellis and Browne.
They had the pitcher phased and were
knocking him all to pieces.
Not an attempted strike did the Uni

which lasted an hour, seventeen runs
were scored. The university howlers
went mad and perfect bedlam reigned
Nye, Scott, Dull and Small came in
in rapid succession. At this stage OF
the game someone suggested that
Westerveft was on bat, and in one
sense it was true.
