health officers relative to the care Of
wounds received by celebrators OF
Fourth of July. He urges the i'm
mediate use Of tetanus antitOXln IN
all cases of burns, this being sure
preventative of lockjaw, which often
follows gunpowder wounds. His state,
ment follows:
Let all remember that with each
succeeding fourth of July comes an
increased demand from the popula'
ton at large that the day shall be
celebrated in more and more sane
manner. The lives of children are
too precious to be- sacrificed to
senseless mania to celebrate. Cannon
crackers and blank cartridges should
be absolutely prohibited. Notwith-
standing the many warnings that
have been given from time to time
We know that this will not be. When
Fourth of July accidents occur, 1t Is
not the immediate accident that is TO
be dreaded. as a rule, but it's second
airy effect-lockjaw. This is pre-
ventable disease and every child who
receives a blank cartridge wound, or
wound from a cannon cracker, or
any other dirty street wound, should
not only have it well opened and
dressed by a physician, but should
also receive immediate immunizing
doses of anti-tetanus serum. 1t does
| not pay to take chances Whether it
does any good after lockjaw develops
Is exceedingly doubtful, and people
| should understand that the time to
give anti-tetanus serum is soon after
the wound Is inflicted.
Recent results go to show that the
| Subcutaneous injection of an immuniz-
| Ing dose of tetanus anti-toXin is
sure method of preventing the dis
ease In all cases where garden dirt,
stable dust, manure, paper wads or
| powder from cartridges have been
| ground or forced into the injured It's
sues, preventive dose of tetanus
antitoxin should be given subcutan-
eously at the time the wound is
| dressed or as soon after as is posi-
| BILE. This is especially recommended
after Fourth of July injuries.
II is advisable that every health
| officer should see to it that a supply
of tetanus antitoxn is at hand for
immediate use-if not already sup
plied-before the period of Fodrth of
July accidents, which so imperatively
require the preventive use OF this an
titoxin BE sure that the remedy is
at hand and employ every means to
urge this prophylactic preventative
of tetanus in every use of wound.

PRESIDENT 'SCOOK TO We'd
SHE WILL BECOME BRIDE OF
WHITE HOUSE POLICEMAN.
Mulvey Wins Martha Petersen's
Consent and She Is Going to New
York for Trousseau.

Politics and all other subjects are insig-
nificant topics among those few attaches
OF the White House who know the big Sc
cret of a romance affecting a pair in
cluded in the personnel of the President s
home.
Everybody is trying to hold the secret
within the confines of the great walls OF
the Executive Mansion. They have been
unable to do 30. The story got out sew
eral days ago among a select few.
The first cook of the White House,
Martha Petersen, a good-looking Swede,
who came to Washington from New York
at the beginning of the Taft administra-
ton, is to become the bride of Policeman
Mulvey, whose good name indicates that
he is not a Swsde. The exact date for
the wedding is not known
Going to Prepare Trousseau.
It is admitted, however, that Miss Peter
sen will go on vacation leave in about a
week to get, ready for the nuptials, She
will 20 to New York and prepare her
trousseau in that city.
Policeman Mulvey has been on the
White House force for twelve years or
more. He did duty in the grounds for
years. when some time ago. In recognition
Of faithful services. he was gwen an IN
side assignment. He Is a f1ne-looking
fellow about fifty years old, and is the
senior by. a number Of years Of Miss
petersen He Is a w1dower. with one
grown child.
How It All Happened.
D.cin,ine around the White House is
mighty strict. 1t was powerless to pre-
vent the good looking Muivey from doing
attentive little things for the cook, and in
time she got to look upon him as just
the man She would admire and respect
over ali others she had known.
II grew on both so quietly and In such
q dienified way that nobody suspected its
ernwth. Mulvey just couldn't help il
and Miss Petersen didn't try hard to re-
sist.
The rumor Is that President and Mrs.
TAFT will give the couple a fine present
and try to induce them to remain in their
respective positions.
