D|PhTHEn|A WILL
APPEAR SHORTLY
BOARD OF HEALTH ISSUES WARN.
ING AGAINST AUTUMNAL DIS
EASE OF CHILDHooD.

Virginia may expect the appearance
Of diphtheria during the next few
weeks and should begin at once to
protect itself against the possible
spread Of this disease. according to
a bulletin of the State board Of health
given out today.
Already the board has received re-
and has been called oil ror antitoxin,
which is taken by health officers to
be a sure indication that the seasonal
appearance Of the disease this autumn
will be according to schedule. Diph-
iberia, 1t is pointed out, never fails to
show itself in Virginia during the
last two weeks of August and often
CLAIMS a heavy toll before the advent
of the cool weather which Is popu-
larry supposed t favor its spread.
Anxious that the early cases may
be treated and carefully Guaranteed.
the board of health especially
warns health officers and parents to
keep a watchful eye on the first cases.
Experience shown" says the
bulletin of the board, that our fall
ure properly to care for the early
cases OF d~iphtheria is largely respon-
sible for the spread of the disease
during the fall and winter. These
early cases are Just as virulent as the
lfINEt liz aJlh "a t1eANA Httl tCt
tainly scatter the disease broadcast.
The only sure way to protect the
State is to sec that every case of the
disease is quarantined and not re-
leased until a ARCHAEOLOGICAL exami-
nation shows that the germs have dis
appeared from the throat of the pa
tent"
The board likewise calls attention
to It's standing arrangements for the
distribution of antitoxin ana reminds
the public this remedy can be had
at the lowest price from the office of
the board. On this point the bulletin
states: The board has on hand an
ample stock OF fresh diphtheria an
t~itoxin, which can be had at the low
est possible rates by anyone who needs
1T. This antitoxin Is OF the finest
quality and m from one Of the
best laboratories in the country. SOLD
at the rate of 40 cents the thousand
units. plus nine cents for each syringe.
and available at all times, this anti
diphtheria in his practice to control
It by prompt treatment.
For the convenience of the pub
lie. the board has written the SUI
pervisors of the counties and has
asked them to purchase and keep in
stock antitoxin for use in emergen-
cies. The board hopes that the su-
peryisors will make these arrange
ments and that there will be no
community in the state where anti
toxin cannot be had within twelve
hours"

The Virginia
Silk Company

Not one person in a dozen in
Richmond probably is aware OF
the fact that the capital city
has a big manufacturing enter
prise which is unique not only
by reason of the fact that it is
the only one of its kind in the
South, but one of a very few in
the entire country.
Operating in a temporary fac
tory away over in Manchester,
out of the beaten path of public
travel and having no special
reasons for local exploitation,
the plant of the Virginia Silk
Company has escaped public
attention. But it has not es-
capped prosperity.
Established in November,
1911, by local capitalists in CO.
operation with a man who
knows how, the enterprise has
grown so steadily and so surely
that a move into larger quar-
ters is imperative and the own
ers are now figuring on an ex-
tensive plant constructed for
their especial purpose on tins
side of the river.
The Virginia Silk Company
devotes itself entirely to the
manufacture of silk ribbon and
the "Nasilkco" trademark has
already made a reputation for
itself. The silk fibre is import
ed from Japan and is manufac-
tured in the Richmond plant
into the finest of silk ribbon.
All of the product of the plant
is sold to New York jobbers,
who in turn sell it to Southern
iobbers and milliners. OF
course, the Southern milllners
and jobbers could buy it direct
from Richmond if they so de-
sired, as the Richmond enter
prise has no contract to turn
over all its output to Northern
BUYERS, but-the Southern buy
ers will learn after awhile.
Nothing but the purest silk
fibre enters into the manufac-
ture of the Richmond COM
pany's product, and the ma
chinery which converts it into
ribbon of a texture and shades
to delight the heart of femi-
ninity is the most wonderful
imaginable, though it must be
admitted that deft feminine fin
gers guide the machinery. The
plant itself is a show place and
visitors who have visited it
pronounce it one Of the most
complete and modern they ever
saw.
The plant now employs 235 opera

The promoters OF the enterprise are

s. Workman h secretary and treas
urer. The general manager of the
company and the man most largely
responsible for its success is William
II. de Mars. A n~ative-born French
man, and brought up in a country
where silk manufacturing Is the most
important industry, Mr.. de Mars has
devoted his life to 1t, and what he
doesn't know about the manufacture
OF silk isn't worth knowing. This
knowledge OF the art Is well as all OF
his time and indomitahle energy he
has given to the Richmond enterprise.

BUD ANDERSON IS
WINNER Of FIGHT
Scores Knockout in 18th Round
of Scheduled 2O-Round
Battle With Brown.
BROWN IS BADLY BEATEN
Anderson Has Him About All in Dur
ing the Eleventh Round, But New
Yorker Receivers and Fights

Los Angeles, Cal, April 16,-Bud An
derson is hailed today as future light
weight champion, following his victory
over Knockout Brown, who went down
and out in the 18th round of sched.
uled 2O.rOund battle. Anderson showed
wonderful improvement over a month
ago, when he fought draw with
Brown in the same arena.
One of the remarkable features of
the fight was Browns recovery in the
llth round, when Anderson had him
all but out. Brown rallied, and at
tackled Bud savagely, and the bell
saved Anderson, who was almost in a
state of collapse.
Brown s friends freely charge that a
delay of 20 minutes last night was due
to desire to freeze Brown, and An.
dersOn was hooted when he finally ap.
peared
