In practically all cases where the

Diphtheria is pr ncipally disease

cases reported by Ellington In New
York, 1,214 occurred in children I'M

dren of one to five years of age.
Diphtheria is extremely contagious
and may be conveyed in various
ways BY contact with person suf-
fering from 1t: by contact with q per-
son who has been exposed to 1t but
who has not developed it; by con-
tact with some article which has been

fact that its administration in small

FRANK |. STANTON
WRITES new SONG,

Announcement has just been
made Of the publication Of q new
song, Of which Frank Z. Stanton, 9
native Of Lee county, is tie author
There are many in this section who
will recall Mr.. Stanton with the Lee
County Enterprise, formerly pub
lished in Smithville.
This latest song Of Mr.. stanton
has already proved one Of his
greatest, if not his most POPULAR
attempt at song writing. The words
we're written by Mr.. Stanton, and
the music by Gus L. Edwards, the
popular musical writer. The title
Of the new song is, You've Got to
Stop Pickin' On my Little Pick,
aninny." It was received recently
with tremendous applause when
heard for tie first time IN Atlahta
at the Grand Opera house.
Mr.. Stanton was present at the
time, as was also Mr.. Edwards.
The applause was 50 great and go
cordial that Mr.. Stanton was forced
to acknowledge his appreciation,
With crst 1mary rnodesty he refused
to appear on the stage, butattsntlon
was directed by Mr.. Edwards to the
presence of Mr.. Stanton in a box,
and the modest song composer
bowed his appreciation in shy but
grateful manner.
The new song is different from
most of the former Of Mr.. Stanton
as a song writer. 1t i, as its name
indicates, a pickaninny song, dif-
ferent, however, in tone and treat
ment from that other popular soag
of this kind, Mighty Lakes Rose,
which has won favor from casual
song lovers and from grand opera
stars. Among other songs by Mr..
Stanton are Just Wearyin For
You,'' an unusually sweet and deli
cate lyric, and "Constancy, ! for
which such sympathetic and beauti-
full music has been written by Web
Der.

How Billy Made Love To The
Twin Sisters.

It was Billy Peters who first said
that the twin sisters were scrump-
tious. AS Billy was twice-a-week
caller at the home Of the Misses FL
len and Mary Roy, it is to be pre-
sumed that it meant something fiat
tering.
The twins looked alike and dress
ed alike and sang alike and became
sentimental each in the .same way.
Billy didn't know which one he
wanted. Half the time he didn't
know which was Ellen. and the rest
of the time he didn't which was
Mary. Where he escorted one, he
escorted the other. TWAS expensive.
Billy began to run into debt.
This won't do" he decided
"pn get a photograph of each. Then
I'll go off by myself and decide
which one gets the prize.
The Misses Roy gave their photo
graphs willingly. Billy took them
home. He sat down with lead pen

.DIPHTHERIA LOSES
MIIIUCH0FITSH0RR
If Modern Methods Are Promptly and
Carefully Employed, Says Geors
state Board Of Health.

Atlanta, Especial; While the
diphtheria of today and that of TWEEN
ty years ago are two very different
propositions, says the Georgia State
Board Of Health in a current bulletin,
1t must be remembered that the eff
flciency of modern methods in reduc-
ing its death rate and in preventing
It's spread, depend upon promptness
and care as to detail in their appli-
cation.
Prompt diagnosis and speedy use OF
diphtheretic antitoxin where the infec-
ton is found, are the material factors
in reducing the death rate; isolation
of patients and disinfection of every
thing coming from their rooms, are
equally important factors in prevent
ing its spread. But these factors,
particularly the antitoxin, have taken
dipththeria out of the chamber of
horrible diseases, not only lessening
the probability of contagion, but re-
ducing the number OF deaths from it.,
from 45 to so down to to 10 in ev-
cry 100 cases. Where diagnosis is
prompt and the ant.toxin is admins
tered before the disease gains any
Roadway, the mortality is practically
eliminated.
Diphtheria is a germ disease. The
germs attack the nose and throat and
form a membrane They rarely at
tack any other part of the body
Where the germs attack the tonsils,
it is known simply as dipththeria;
where the membrane forms in the
nostrils, it is nasal diphtheria; when
1t forms in the windpipe 1t is mem
branous Group, the dreaded and most
dangerous form because it cuts off
air from the lungs. The germs, APP
pearing in some portion Of the nose
or throat and forming membrane, give
off a poison that soon finds its way
through the system. The germs mul.
tiply in the throat very rapidly; mill
ions of them may be formed in a few
hours
Diphtheria manifests itself within
three or four days after the patient
has been exposed to the disease The
patient complains Of sore throat which
grows worse, then fever appears.
Sometimes sickness at the stomach
and vomiting are among the first
symptoms, and in membranous Group
the first symptom may be hoarse,
harsh cough or actual and prolonged
difficulty in breathing. These symp-
toms should be carefully and closely
watched; when there is diphtherla in
the neighborhood, even a slight sore
throat should be carefully examined,
for it may be diphtheretic. The only
safe plan is to consult physician at
once, for often an hours delay in
creases the danger, particularly from
membranous Group.
Mild cases are equally dangerous
when 1t comes to spreading the infec-
ton. Accurate diagnosis is import

Ammonia to Put Out Gasoline Blaze.
A bottle of ammonia saved neigh
Dor great loss by fire. The gasoline
stove sprung a leak and the huid
caught fire, spreading rapidly. One Of
the older children coming into the
room could not reach the sink and get
water to throw over the blaze as he
thought ought to be done, but had
enough presence Of mind to pour over
it the contents of an ammonia bottle
that stood near. AS it happened, It
was the very best thing he could have
done, as it quickly extinguished the
fire, which water could not do. Now
the family keeps ammonia on hand in
a two-quart sealed Jar, anticipating the
time when it may be needed again for
the same purpose.-The Housekeeper.

Billy Peters went home with a
headache.
IT took Billy two days to straight
en- out this tangle. This time he had
real idea. He put two slips Of pa
per int5 a hat. One was marked r.
len and the other was Mary. He
closed his eyes and drew out Ellen.
That night Billy called again. One
of the twins was in the parlor.
Ellen, he began TREMENDOUSLY.
I'm Mary, she smiled.
Billy swallowed hard Well, what
difference did it make?
Mary" heasAed viii you be

She shook her head. I'm sorry,

The other twin entered the parlor.
Billy manipulated his fountain pen
and then shook hands with Ellen.
He seemed quite sorry that he had
linked her hand. But he had her
married.. That was the main thing.
Half an hour later one Of the
twins left the room. The one that
remained had ink on one hand. Bill.
" FASTENED to her side.
Ellen" he whispered, will
you be my wife?"
She shook her head. I'm sorry,
Billy. I like you. But Won't mar
ny until Mary marries. /"
Billy Peters staggered to the door,
What do you think | am, !" he dc.
manded, "a Mormon?"
But there was still a fight left in
this much harassed lover. Soon he
had another plan. He'd dip up a
nice chap-lots Of nice chaps. He'd
take them to the Roy home. If one
of them married Ellen he'd take
Mary, and if one married Mary,
he'd march off with Ellen
He brought nine young men to
their home. Then the twins woke
up and told him to stop.
"I'lLmarry nobody but you,o
said Ellen.
And TIL marry nobody but you,
said Mary.
And I won't marry you unless

And l won't marry you unless

Dyspepsia is commonly caused by
an abnormal state of the gastric
