feared they had been poisoned Sym

indications were plainly those Of
spinal meningitis. The children were
completely paralyzed, this being usual
in cases Of meningitis, death following
quickly.
The serum arrived yesterday from
Columbus and was introduced directly
into the spinal chord. 1t is expected
to bring relief.
1t is said the Flexen serum, the dis
coyery- of which startled the medical
world, has reduced the mortality from
spinal meningitis from 90 per cent TO
25 per cent. 1t had hitherto been con.
sidered one of the most deadly mala-

A great deal is being said about ad-
vertfslng towns. and what is the best
method to be used In advertising to
get the greatest returns from the least
amount of money. ss,...,.sas,
+ TheSgeneTal conception OF advertis-
ing towns is that the people are after
something that is beyond ordinary hui
man powers TO obtain, and that all the
other towns are after the same thing.
The goal held up before the public
is usually in the shape Of q big mill or
factory, covering several acres of land,
Gnd employing several hundred men.
To obtain the plant city usually CON
siders It its duty to set out before the
locating manufacturers the advantages
as shippers and perhaps the advan-
tages as to fuel supply. After the fac
tory is located, it is ordinarily true
that the town goes after u people on
the grounds that 1t has mills employ
