To Aid Fight on Diphtheria.

The rarity of diphtheria in this
community during the present
winter, and the generally mild
character of the disease is due. in
the estimation of the doctors, to
the general use of diphtheria anti
toxin by the people. The people
are beginning To realize, they say,
that in this antitOXin they have a
remedy which will insure recovery
in practically all cases of diphthe-
ria where it is promptly used.
Moreover, the use of antitoXin
will prevent the appearance Of
diphthcria in children who have
been exposed to the disease.
The chief difficulty in the way
of the general use of antitoxin has
been the high price charged for it
by druggists generally. This price
placed the remedy beyond the
reach of the poor of the cOmmuni-
ty. To prevent this. the State
Board of Health, last summer,
made arrangements with two of
the leading manufacturers of anti
toxin, whereby it was sold at a
very low figure to the medical
members of the local Boards of
Health for sale to those who could
not afford to buy it at the regular
rate. Up to the first of January
nearly two million units of anti
toxin we're sent out by the State
Department Of Health. At the
recent meeting of the State Board
in Richmond, it was decided tC
furnish this antitOXin to all physi-
clans of good standing in the State
whether members of local Board,
of health or not. These physician:
can furnish it at cost to patients
too poor to buy it at the standard
rate, but are not to sell it to Othel
persons. The members of county
boards can, as heretofore, secure
the antitoxin for free distribution
or for sale to INDECENT patients.
In this manner it is hoped this
the use of antitoxin will be en-
couraged throughout the State. 4
physician can now telegraph hi
order to the State Department a
Richmond and can receive tn
antitoxin by mail or by expires
promptly.

No. 45.
Charged With Highway Robbery.

James Pierce, white, is locked
up in the County Jail awaiting the
investigation of the Grand Jury
which will convene January %.
James had a preliminary hearing
before Justice Crow yesterday on
complaint of James Thompson,
who charged that Pierce had rob-
bed him. According 20 Thomp-
sons story, he and Pierce were
together on Saturday night last,
and, after wandering up and down
the numerous and lengthy Berry
vile streets, became tired and
sleepy. Pierce, with due regard
for the hospitality due to stranger
in a strange land, invited Thomp-
son TO 90 home with him and spend
the night. Thompson sacceptance
was only as hearty as the invitation,
and the two James's wended their
weary way homeward via the
Cemetery Hill. After getting
some distance from Town, Pierce
rolled Thompson for his "wad"
and his watch and other small val
tables, the sum of money being
stated by Thompson as 81 or IS.
OF course Thompson didn't mind
losing his watch or money, but he
hated to have his confidence abused.
Therefore the warrant, arrest, pre-
liminary hearing. Next act, the
grand jury. In the interim Pierce
will partake of the hospitality ex-
tended by Mr.. Lupton to unlimited
guests.

Meeting Of Teachers Association.

The Clarke County Teachers
Association held its second BIZ
monthly meeting of the present
school year in the Auditorium of
the Berryville High School last
Saturday, and, while the program
was extremely interesting and in
structive, the attendance was not
nearly so large as was reasonably
expected.
The President, after calling the
meeting to order, invited County
Superintendent G. @. Massey. ex-
ofhcio chairman, to preside, who,
in turn, requested Mr.. NJ. L. p.
Reed to take the chair. Mr.. Reed
teek the chair and the routine bus
mess of the meeting was transacted.
The report of the special com
mittee on teachers salaries was
read and adopted, and the time and
place of the next meeting of the
Association was decided upon.
At 2 p. m. the teachers reasem-
bled, and Mrs. Reed, of Charlotte,
Va, State Director of Drawing for
the Webb and Ware Drawing
System, delivered an excellent lee
ture on drawing. Mrs. Reed
handled the subject in a practical
way, and showed how any teacher
may teach drawing successfully.
She occupied the floor for about
an hour and a half, lecturing and
demonstrating on the blackboard.
1t is greatly to be regretted that
out of the thirty-ore teachers in
Clarke county only sixteen were
present. and six of that number
were Berryville High School
teachers and number were from
the Boyce High School.
Teachers surely do not realize
the fact that persons of influence
and authority are Watching them
and noting carefully their profess
sional interest as manifested by
their attendance at such meetings
as that of last Saturday. The
teacher, in this age of educational
interest, must be active or die pro-
fessionally. 1t does not take long
for the teacher who is drifting
along in state Of apathy to- he
down and out as indeed they
should be.

High School. gave his report OF
the Educational Conference al

esting to all.
The remainder of the program
had to be abandoned on account o.
lack of time.
