Diphtheria.

4 few years ago this was one of the
most fatal Of the diseases of childhood,
and was frequently the cause of death
in adults as well, but to-day, thanks to
the discovery of antitoxin, it has been
shorn Of many of its terrors, although
it is still a disease to be dreaded. In
the early days from One-quarter to one
third Of those attacked died, but now
the mortality has fallen to one In ten.
The first sign of the disease is usual
" a sore throat, although this symptom
may be preceded for short time by
slight fever, headache and general las
situde. The mucous membrane Of the
throat is first reddish and swollen, or
it may be paler than usual, but in a
few hours, or sometimes day or two,
kvhitish specks appear on the tonsils or
Ehe palate. These speckS soon Increase
in extent, and form a membrane cover
ing a greater or lesser area.
The throat alone may be affected.
This constitutes the mildest form.
Again, the inflammation with the for
nation of membrane may extend to
the nOstrils or to the larynx. The parts
beneath the membrane are swollen,
sometimes enormously, and an abund7
ant discharge covers all the surface.
ANY of the mucous membranes of the
body may be affected, but the parts
mentioned are those which are most
commonly attacked.
At the same time with the formation
of membrane general symptoms occur,
showing that the poison absorbed into
changes in the blood and nervous sys-
tenn. A special danger in diphtheria is
heart failure. The poison of the dis
ease seems to have a special affinity for
the heart.
4 common sequel of diphtheria is a
temporary paralysis, involving first the
soft palate. Generally it goes no fur
Their, but it may attack the arms or
legs, or any of the muscles in the body.
The usual treatment of diphtheria is
by the injection of antitoxin. In addi-
ltion to this. measures have to be taken
Ito prevent failure of the heart and to
keen up the general strength. When
hhe disease involves the larynX, death
fnay threaten through choking, and in
this case it is necessary to insert tube
between the vocal cords to allow the
patient to breathe.-Youth's Compan-
Ion.

HOME FROM ADAM TILL NOW.
Place Where Painters and Plumbers
Meet at Intervals.

Place Where Painters and Plumbers
Meet at Intervals.
The home is supposed to be a place
where children can congregate, pro-
tected from the allurements of the
world and the advice of the neighbors,
and where parents can quarrel judi
ciouSly without too much interruption,
says Life. In reality. however, the
home is a place where decorators, paint
ers, furniture men and plumbers meet
at intervals in order that they may re-
vel in luxury of their own.
Homes have been in vogue for some
little time Adam and Eve started the
first one, and it would have been we'll
with them had it not been necessary
to send out the washing. Thus the ser
want question was started and the ruin
of man followed.
A home is what is left after you have
paid the taxes, the interest on the mort
gage and the installment man. To own
more than one home is not to have any.
Homes were at one time popular in
this country. When. by going out in
the back yard to milk the COW, one was
in danger of being scalped the home
was at the height of it's popularity.
Owing, however, to the decreasing de-
mand for babies and the increasing
demand for alimony, homes are being
looked upon with disfavor.
In the suburbs the home still flick
ers on, kept alive by certain instincts
handed down from a past age.
1t is impossible at present to say
just how long the home will continue
to exist 1t is hard to raise children
and mortgages at the same time
1t is quite evident that cooks and
children are gradually disappearing.
This greatly simplifies the problem.
in all probability the race Of the fu-
ture will be divided into two classes
those who, having become worn out
looking for servants, are now In sani-
tari1lms being taken care of by the
government, and those who still con-
tinue to work for the trusts, unincum-
bered by babies or bank accounts.

Gas Pipes Made of Paper.

Gas pipes of paper are being made
in France. Manila paper is cut into
strips equal to the length of the pipes
to be made. They are then placed in a
receiver filled with melted asphalt and

the desired thickness is reached. After
being submitted to a strong pressure

NOVEL CURES FOR SNORING.
Case of Offending Policeman Sug-
xests Remedies for Disease.

xeSts Remedies for Disease.
Very many of our readers will be
interested In the ultimate fate Of the
unfortunate snoring policeman who mas
been banished from his fellow sleepers
and Gagged at night in sound-proof quar-
ters. Perhaps the dreadful intlrmlty,
now that it has the official recognition
of his superiors, may call for some
suitable scientific treatment. If so the
great army of snOrers can covertly
watch the outcome with all the cunning
and compiacency of undiscovered trans
gressors.
We are glad we can make the start
with a perfectly fair case, for convlc-
ton of the nuisance is always most diff
ficult to obtain. The cuiprit must be
caught with the snore on him and in
the presence of reliable ear witnesses.
No one has ever been known to ac-
knowledge his fault voluntarily. On
the contrary, one of the Surest signs OF
the confirmed malaGy is his persistent
denial of its existence. He is not salts
fed to plead lack of generalization and
absence of accountability, but openly
impugns the motives of his clamorous
accusers. The worst of it is that on all
other matters he is perfectly reason
able. This makes it extremely diff
cuIt to obtain his consent for treatment
of any sort.

The proposition of President McCrea
to increase the age at which men may
enter the employment OF the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad to As years is recognized as
the result of the scarcity of labor. 1t
would be correct to recognize that the
scarcity is in its ratio to the demand.
There are more laborers, skilled and
unskilled, in the country than ever be-
fore, but the demand for their services
has increased In greater proportion
than the supply. We need not claim
that there is not much improvement vet
to be sought. But it is certainly the
historical fact that the competitive era
has, as one of its chief results, wrought
an immense improvement in the com
pensation of labor and its industrial
liberty.
Someone, discussing the ways OF
women in business recently, says a
partial explanation of their success in
many callings is due to their thinking
they are still on trial, which leads them
TO take a great deal more pains to
please their patrons tnan do men en-
gagged in the same kind of work. To a
certain extent this may be true; that is,
women do feel that they are still serv-
ing an apprenticeship in undertaking
work that has been the exclusive field
of men for generations. But as wom-
en- have been houSekeepers since the
world began and as they are as faith
ful and steadfast in this profession in
the present time as they were centuries
ago it seems safe to argue that a
similar thing may be said of them years
hence in commenting on their success
In business.
