In Last Four Months Every Diph-
iberia Patient Treated Promptly
and According to Health Com
miSsi0ner's Instructions
Has Recovered.
v GEs EARLY DosA q e
Dr.. Dixon Scores Notable Life-Savinq
Triumph Among the Poor of Penn
syIvania = Hopes For Still
Better Record.

The Health Commissioner, Samuel
G. Dixon, a couple OF months ago an
nounced that use of free antitoxin
among diphtheria victims who were too
poor to pay for the serum had reduced
the death rate to S.S per cent. This
was splendid result and showed the
great benefits of the State paying for
antitoxin for those who might other
wise not be able to procure it and in
consequence probably die.
Now Health Commissioner Dixon
announces that according to the rec
ords compiled in his Office he finds
that during the four months of Novem-
Der and December, 1905, and January
and February, 1906, there has not been
a single death from diphtheria where
the free use of antitoxin provided by
the State has been used within "a
hours after the onset of the disease
and in doses recommended in circulars
sent out by the Commissioner.
Dr.. Dixon attached great import
ance to this fact, and hopes that the
same results will be secured in a far
larger number of cases by physicians
throughout the State using free anti
toxin more promptly.
This prompt use of antitoxin has
been urged by Health Commissioner
Dixon from the start OF the free dis
tribution. He has urged it in his cor
respondence with fellow-medical men
and the local Boards of Health
throughout the State, and especially in
the circular which is contained in
every package of the States free. anti
toxin.
THE early use of antitoXin is es.
sential," says Health Commissioner
Dixon in this circular, and he endeav-
ors to impress ii upon the people by
heavily underscoring the words of ad-
vice.
In this circular also DR.. Dixon has
given general directions for the ad-
ministration of antitoxin in both cura-
tive and immunizing doses that have
been found exceedingly helpful to ply
sicians in Pennsylvania. Never less
than 5000 units, says DR.. Dixon, should
be used for curative dose; in ad-
vanced cases Ne says to increase the
initial curative dose from 5000 to 5000
units.
If Improvement is not manifested
within six hours following the initial
dose. give 6001 units, and if no benefit
is to be observed within the following
eight to 12 hours. repeat the same un-
til a change for tae better can be no.

Lycomine County Vaccination Rebels

In Clinton county district school
the teacher was last week compelled
to enforce the vaccination law with
the result that none of her twenty
five pupils have presented cer.iti-
icate of vaccination, and, having no
pupils to teach, the teacher is i'm II
quandary whether to continue to
open the school each day and lone
somely while away the hours, or to
remain away until the parents Of
some Of the children show dispo-
sition to comply with the law.
There are several schools IN Lycom-
ing county in which existing condi-
lions are similar to the above men
toned school.
1t is pleasing to note that most of
the parents In this county have
obeyed the vaccination law, regard
less whether il Is II good or evil law,
thereby saving the teachers great
deal Of trouble ia having To en-
force the law.

After much speculation as to just
what the Eagles Mere company,
chartered last week with $1,000, 600
capital, really is, it develops that it
is the original Chautauqua company
which has changed its former plans
and will embark on a business that
will have wide effect at the lake,
resulting in big improvements at
the Forest Inn end. The company
now will be virtually land com
pany, this departure promising to be
more profitable than the Chautauqua
venture. Land for cottages will be
leased or purchased. Probably num-
erous new cottages will be erected.
Captain E. S. Chase has made plans
and surveyed the ground for the
new company. 1t is likely that the
Forest Inn will be enlarged and inn
proved. The erection of a casino is
also likely to occur.

Committee,

1t has been decided by those hav-
ing the matter in charge to conduct
the Bradford county teachers ex-
cursion to Washington during the
week beginning April 8. The fare
for the round trip will be $50 with
stopover privilege at Philadelphia
on the return. Three days will be
spent in Washington and one day
going and one day returning.
This excursion will not be contin-
ed to teachers, but any one may
avail themselves of the reduced rate
to visit the national capital. Every
one intending to go should ut once
notify one of the committee in
charge; either Principal Stetler mt
Sayre, Principal Dennison at Troy,
or Principal j. ii. Humphres at
Towanda. When ii is known how
many are going the entire cost of

Excursions to Washington have
been run frequently by schools in
the central part of the state and have
been very successful.

special 70 Inc journal.
Fargo N. D., Dec. The car short
age problem in Fargo is resolving itself
into a fuel famine. The supplies of all
the, local dealers, both Of wood and
coal, have run down to a. minimum,
and the shipments are coming in so
slowly that the situation will be rather
serious if the weather turns real cold
The dealers are inclined to place the
entire responsibility with the roads.
They say they ordered early, and that
many orders had to be cancelled be-
cause of the failure Of the big fuel
companies to get cars.
Some. of the dealers insist that lack
Of motive power rather than the car
shortage is to blame for the trouble.
1t is shown that long strings of cars
stood in the Fargo yards. IN most in
stances they were empties so badly
wanted by the coal men to bring back
coal and by the farmers and elevators
to send grain east. It is asserted they
could not be handled here for lack Of
