MORE DIPHTHER|A
But LESS DEATHS
STATE WINNING VICTORY INTER-
LONG WAR ON WHITE TER
ROR OF CHILDHOOD"

The States remarkable triumph
been duplicated in the fiscal year just
ended In the reduced mortality from
diphtheria, according to statistics an
nounced by the state board of health.
BY the general distribution of an
titoxin and by campaign Of popu-
lar education, the number of deaths
from the white terror of childhood
has been materially reduced during
the last four years. but this reduction.
strangely enough, has been accom-
panied by slight increase in the
total number OF cases The virulence
OF diphtheria has thus been lessened
by antitoxin. but the disease has been
more widely spread by neglect of pre-
caution ami proper Quarantine.
During the first year of it's reor-
ganized board of health. the state re-
ceived from rural communities report
of 2,746 cases of diphtheria with a
mortality Of 209- or 7.0s per cent Dur
ing that year, 1908, the State perfect
ed arrangements for the distribution
of diphtheria antitoxin at Hsiow fig
ure and began campaign against
the disease. During the fiscal year
ending September 80. 1919. the num-
her Of cases reported from rural dis
tricts was 3.44@ but the total num-
Der Of reported Aeaths was lei. show
ing a mortality rate s.51 per cent.
Thus. 1t Is pointed out. while the NOR
tally has been cut In half and where
but one child dies where two died
four years ago. the actual. number
OF cases has increased.
Sanitarians who have seen the sta
tistics at the offices of the State board
Of health are much interested In this
plantations for the anomaly of an in
creased mnrbidity and decreased
mortality. 1t Is generally recognized
that diphtheria varies much and that
good" years are often followed by
bad" years without any apparent re-
lation. but this Is not regarded as a
full explanation Of the case.
Undoubtedly said we'll known
sanitarian yesterday. the widespread
use Of antitoxin is responsible for the
reduced mortality. We're this great
remedy Immediately used in every
case. the mortality might be still
further reduced to an absolute mini
mum. But the increase In the num-
Der of cases is probably due to num-
Der of factors. Our people have less
fear Of diphtheria and consequently
take less precautions In addition,
the habit of giving immuniz,ng doses
of antitoxin to all exposed children
certainly prevents many cases, but
probably gives us a number Of car
riers who show no symptoms Of the
disease. THE other cases. can be. at

Asks DR.. Hoge Question.
Editor The virginian:

EDITOR The Virgtnfan:
Sir.--As DR.. Hoge invites questions on his
statements In the above discourses, will you
allow the writer to ask him through your VAL
ued columns to make more clear the thought
given by him in his first discourse. Where
Are the Dead?"
The writer requested him to explain: II
the righteous dead go to heaven and the un-
righteous to torment, who Is meant by Jesus
Christ John s: 2s-29), "All In their graves
shall come forth and hear the, voice of the
Son of Man and live? Do the dead come
from heaven or torment to be judged?
We may have misunderstood him, but IL
that statement is correct We are to be pun
ished or rewarded first and trial and judgment
afterwards
We trust you will publish this question, Its
answer may clear up what Is distracting to
many-so different even to mans laws, which
is trial and judgment first and reward after.

welt. But Is Ii true that this popular vote
fell below that of Bryan's four years ago. In
1908 Mr.. Bryan received 6,409.104 against
latest figures. Wilson received last week
6,2s1637 popular votes against 7.4ss,777 for
Roosevelt and Taft combined In other words,
with the returns incomplete, Wilson's popu-
Ter vote is bare $4,000 less than Mr.. Bryan
received, and the total vote OF the two Republic
can candidates was nearly 100000 less than
received by Taft four years ago. Complete
returns will in all probability show that Mr..
Wilson's vote in 1912 was at least equal Mr..
Bryan's vote in 1908, and this Is spite of the
fact that the Socialist vote apparently in
creased by nearly 100000. MIR. Bryan up to
this year had received more popular votes
than any Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency ever received, but this Is an honor that
he must now share with Mr.. Wilson.
Wilson's vote exceeded that OF Mr. Bryan in
1905 the increase In Virginia being about
eight thousand votes. and the combined vote
of Taft and Roosevelt showing decrease of
about the same number of votes.
How many votes MIR. Wilson would have
received had Roosevelt not been In the field
is mere matter of conjecture. but few doubt
that Taft would have polled fewer votes than
he and Roosevelt together polled last Tues
day.
