,busiastically Il believe it should be en-
Outraged. Not that | want to mak-
actors of everybody-not at all. This
league is not to train recruits for the pro-
fessional stage: il is simply TO help the

The idea OF this league We have
formed is 10 guide and help these anna

DISTRIBUTION OF
 ANTI-TOXIN WORRIES
 HEALTH OFFICIALS

Orders have been received by the local health authorities that hereafter, under the law approved July 25. 1911, all anti-toxin shall be distributed di- rect from the Board of Health and not through local designated drug gists as has heretofore been custom ary. With the order a, large supply of dfphtheria anti-toxin has been receiv- ed and is ready for distribution at the health offices.
 As this preventative of serious con- sequences from suspected diphtheria, hydrophobia, tetanus, and other ma ladies, is usually wanted at short no- tice, and as the health offices are not open during the night, a situation more or less complex is today present ed to the health officers and inspec- tors.
 It has been suggested that a supply be maintained at the emergency hos pita1, where physicians may draw up on 1t, but this involves the wakening of the night surgeon, as well as caus- ing long trips from remote ends of

EIGHT CHILDREN
 PERISH IN FIRE

Quebec, Sept 26-As the result of a slight blaze which broke out in three story wooden building in St. Francis street, all indications at an early hour pointed to the death of eight children of the family of UIrueEl Trude1, the proprietor, who, together with five oth- CT families, lived in the house.
 The mother and father, as well as the eldest boy, although all injured. were saved. They are in a hospital. A little girl was reported saved by a neighbor, but no trace of her has been found
 The eldest boy, Antoine, was dropped from the third story window and struck his head on the curbstone and that, together with the burns which he received, renders his condition very se- rious. The mother, who was taken down a ladder is terribly burned about the arms and head. The father was the least injured of the three, although he also suffered several painful burns.

DYNAMITE USED BY ROBBERS IN
 TRAIN H0LD-UP

Birmingham, Ala, Sept 26-AIaba- mas great southern train No. T, from Birmingham to New Orleans. was held up and robbed at Bibville Siding, three miles south of Woodstock, Ala, at midnight.
 Engineer Daniels had stopped the train for a red block when the rob bers climbed in and ordered the fire man to uncouple the express car which was carried some distance down the track After dynamiting the safe the robbers, reported to have been two masked men, ran the engine down the track several miles, putting the fireman off Express Messenger Kelly was covered before he knew what was happening and could not say what the losses would be although he thought they would be light.
 The mail car did not have much of value so far as known, early today. The engine, mail and express cars have not been recovered. Several shots were fired into the mail and express cars before the mail clerks and passengers left them. Three of the clerks, Saunders, Phillips and Poole, narrowly escaped death. Saun- derS' head was filled with glass from the door which bullet shattered.
 Two dynamite charges were neces- sary to open the safe, the last one being so heavy as to Jar the ground several hundred feet away.
 The train left here at 1O:45 o'clock, last night The scene of the hold-up is a sparse1y settled mining section.
 The county sheriff, notified of the hold-up, attempted to stop the train but was unsuccessful. He fired on the train and one shot was returned Securing a switch engine, the sheriff started in pursuit with a posses. Moth ing has been heard from him as yet

the city and consequent delay.
 Though it is believed that the State Board of Health deprecates the keep ing of supplies in local drug-stores, the act as approved July 25, 1911, merely empowers the State board to procure the anti-toxin for the free use of the people of the state and follows with the clause:
 Said anti-toxin and lymph to be distributed to town health officers as needed
 This is taken to leave it within the discretion of local health officials to designate also places they may place as repositories for the supply of phy- sicians and public.
