HEALTH FORCES

Continued from last week.

Since October. 1905. the Health De.

dren would have died: as a matter OF
fact, only 1925 died Nearly all those
who died were children who did not
receive the anti-toxin until the late
stages of the disease. The detailed
statistics of the department show that
the earlier the sick child receives the
anti.toxin. the greater his chances OF
recovery. These facts should empha.
size the pressing need, In all cases,
not only Of anti-toxin treatment, but
OF this treatment at the earliest pos
sible time. The department has also
thoroughly tested the powers of anti

OF these only 251 acquired it-a little
more than one per cent. The State
Department Of Health's free distribu-
tion of antitoxin to the poor, there
fore. has saved over 5000 lives at an
average cost of seven dollars each and
prevented contagion in several thou
sands of cases at on average cost of
two dollars.

Drama Within a Musical
Comedy at ToWle's.

A man, his affinity and his wife were
the characters in a little drama in real
life which resulted in depriving The
Winning Miss company of one of the
male members of its chorus just be-
fore the engagement in Hammond. ac-
cording to the story that was told by
a members of the chorus and was
travelling with one of the girls, also
in the chorus. who was ostensibly his
wife She frequently cashed his checks
and SO far as the show company was
concerned they were very happily mar
ried.
While in Chicago, previous to theil
coming to Hammond, a little woman
with a baby in her arms, called upor
the manager of the show and asked il
Mcdonald was with the show.
Mcdonald was called in for con-
ference, with the result that he ad
mitted that the little mother was hi:
wife and that the show girl was not.
Mcdonald was advised to join hi.
wife and sever his relations with ths
show. He did so, and even the mem
bers of the company did not know VIII,
Mac" had so suddenly left the com
pany and why the chorus girl who wa:
supposed to be his wife did not accom-
pany him.
And yet they talk of the lure of thu

WINNING MISS
SHOW GOOD ONE

"A Winning Miss" won the hearts of
a hacked house al the Towle Opera
House last evening, and was pronounce
ed one of the best musical comedies
that has been seen at the Towle Opera
House this year.
The particularly bright star in the
constellation of twinkle wrinkles
was Max Bloom, who kept the audi
ence in roar of laughter during the
entire evening. Bloom is on the or
der of Richard earle and is just as
funny as that widely advertised play
wright-actor.
The scenery, costuming, the number
various acts were repiete with tuneful
songs The solo work of Clarence
Backhous. who played the part of John
Speed, an amateur artist. was especial
ly fine.
The csenery. costuming, the number
of people in the show and the charac-
ter of the actors indicated a company
of more than usual class for a road
show
Manager Manderback is to be con-
graduated for securing such a high
grade attraction and a return enAaNe-
ment would probably be success.
