How to Prevent Diphtheria.


The Journal has made careful in
curry among the physicians OF Wei
lingtOu concerning diphtheria, the
method of its treatment, and the best
rules to be observed in preventing its
cOntagiOn.
There is a mistaken impression that
sulphur and asafetida will prevent it.
The sulphur is burned in room
where the child is confined, the idea
being to kill the germs. Sulphur will
destroy the diphtheria germs only
when burned in sufficient quantity to
kill the child. Otherwise it is as use
less for that purpose as tobacco smoke.
Asafetida is eaten by some and worn
on string tied about the neck.
This is an old superstition, and is
worthless. The only sure preventative
for diphtheria is antitOXine, injected.
Don't inject it yourself, but have a
physician inject it. AntitOXine is
also used in treating the disease, but
is used in different quantity as a
treatment than as preventative.
Physicians are agreed that the dis
ease would sOOD be checked if the
quarantine rules should be strictly
observed. The spread Of diphtheria
in Wellington is due to one thing,
and one only: violation Of the quaran-
tine regulations. The enforcement
of the quarantine rules is matter
which is left entirely with the police
authorities, but it is impossible fol
one or two officers to watch all of the
houses where diphtheria exists, and
they must rely more or less upon the
law abiding tendencies of the persons
uuucl Qudl GuUluC'
When a residence is Quarantined
no one should be allowed to enter ant
leave the place. Complaint has beer
made that this rule is being violated
daily, but the officers are unable tt
catch anyone at it. This feature o
the quarantine regulations is inviOl
able, and above everything else SHOULD
be enforced.
Diphtheria is not as contagious a
many other diseases. Its cOntagiOn i
mostly due to contact, and breathin,
the breath Of an afflicted child
Children OF the same family need no
contract The disease, if the afflicted
child is kept in Quarantined room
by itself and the other children KEEP
a reasonable distance from the room
1t is thus apparent that if the quar-
antine regulation which prohibits any
one from entering and leavinga hous
where diphtheria exists, are observed
the disease would soon be stopped
from spreading, and could easily b.
stamped out.-Journal.

thore will be just Us many ballots
as there are tickets nominated by
tho various parties. Each ticket
will contain all the nominees of the
particular party it represents, with
the name of the party as caption.
There will probably be five tickets,
Democratic. Republican, Populist,
Prohibition and Social Labor, and
possibly a Middle e-of- the Road Pop
ulist layout.
There will be a ballot printed for
each. of these parties, and when a
citizen approaches the polls to vote
he will be given all the tickets and
retire to a booth and pick out the
one he desires to vote. On each of
the tickets there will be q blank
space. below the name of each can
didate to accommodate scratchers.
When the voter has made his selec-
tion,- he will vote the ticket he de-
sires, and return the others unused
to the judges. All the tickets must
be folded before they are presented
to'thc judges, so that their indcntity
cannot be discovered by any who
May be watching. Still, it will be
possible for one who is watching to
tell when voter scratches his
ballot, but otherwise, it is thought
the vote will be secret.
The reason urged for this change
in the law was that many could not
make out their tickets as they de-
sired on the old form of ballot,
which contained, in groups all the
candidates to be voted for. 1nsome
respects the change will leave the
ballots not unlike what they were
before the Australian ballot was
adoptcd.-Republic.

On Monday the President sent
to Congress the Official report on
the Maine explosion, together with
al the testimony addoccd before
the board of Investigation. The
President makes no recommends
tion the in message accompanying
the report, but invokes calm con-
sideration.
The report states positively that
the destruction Of the Maine was
due to an explosion on the out
side of the ship, the condition of the
wreck and the testimony taken be-
fore the board supports this con-
olusion. The board does not un-
dertake to fix the responsibility of
the disaster upon Spain, however.
Preparations for war continue
with great activity, and the opinion
seems to prevail at the national
capital that actual strife cannot
be much longer postponed.

They Must Pay.

Fifty leading citizens Of Freder-
icktown, Mo-, will have to 90 down
in their pockets and satisfya a judg-
ment of 1900 with interest and
costs rendered by the St. Louis
Court Of Appeals yesterday. They
have been ordered to pay the
Madison Comfy Bank that amount
on promissory note. The pcculi
ar feature of the case is that the
men who are mulcted did not re-
ceive one cent of the proceeds of
the note.
In 1894 the conference of the
Methodist Church for the southern
part of Missouri was seeking Il loca-
tion for an institution Of learning,
to be under the control and patron
age of that denomination. Many Of
the prominent citizens and taxpay-
ers of Fredericktown donated ten
acres of land adjoining the city
limits to the church authorities and
promised to erect S25, 900 build
ing. The college was erected, but
the building committee found that
it needed about 81, 200 to complete
the structure. 4 public meeting
was called and committee was
named to raise funds. Arrange
ments were made whereby the
bank loaned the committee $1,000
on a note signed by fifty citizens.
Suit was eventually fledag alnst
the makers, but the defense was
that no consideration had passed
between the bank and the makers
Of the note. Fraud was also alleg-
ed by the dcfendcnts, who claimed
that misrepresentation were made
to them as to the amount Of sub
scriptions still to be collected.
The Court of Appeals ruled that
the note was valid, the valuable
consideration being the. expense,
trouble and inconvenience experien-
ced by the bank. On the question
of fraud the court ruled that the
the defendents could not set up
that defense against the bank,
which had acted innocently and in
good faith in advancing the money
at the request of the fifty citizens.

All people who write letters, however,

obtained from the fact that during the
