WHAT is DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A SERUM
AND A VACCINE.

THE Nature of Vaccines, Sera and
Tuberculins with Special Reference to
their Use in the Treatment of Tuber-
culosis is the title of a timely article
which will appear in the April num-
Der of the Journal of the Outdoor Life,
the Anti-Tubercu1osis Magazine New
York;. The article IS written by a
well known authority on clinical pa
thoIogy.
The author states that the use Of
meteorological preparations, such as
vaccines and sera is twofoId, both for
the purpose of producing immunity
against certain diseases and also for
the purpose of assisting in the cure of
certain disease processes. They are
used both upon healthy and upon sick
persons.
A serum may be defined as a, fluid
separated from the clot of the blood
of some animal which has previously
been immunized against the germ or
poison OF certain disease such as
diphtheria, or hay fever. It is adj
ministered to cure a disease process
in the human body after the disease
has already developed and is not de-
signed as a preventative.
A vaccine on the other hand is a
weakened poison or virus of a certain
disease such as smallpox or hydropho-
bia, which is taken from a calf or
some other animal afflicted with the
OlSSSiS0 III qu6Sl1O1. DuTlnR the pro-
cess of the disease in the animal, the
poison which the germs of the disease
cast off, becomes attenuated. Then,
when it is inocuIated into the human
body,a protective reaction of the healthy
tissues against this poison follows and
immunity against the disease is
thus produced. A vaccine of this
character is designed for use only in
healthy body and is not for use after
the active symptoms of the disease ap-
pear.
The term vaccine is also used in
some cases to apply to attenuated
germs which have been weakened, US
ual1y by heating or otherwise. These
preparations are also called ffbacter-
ial-vaccines', or bacterins, in distinc-
ton from Virus-vaccines. These bac-
terial-vaccines are employed not only
for inoculating the healthy individual
in order to protect against infectious
diseases, such as typhoid fever, the
plague, or tuberculosis, but also for
inoculating the diseased body in order
to stimulate the production of pro-
tective substances when the processes
of nature apparently are not working
sufficiently actively toward drecovery.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-03-25

Tuberculin, of which there are a
considerable number of varieties, is a
preparation made from the germs of
tuberculosis, so treated that the poi
son ordinarily produced by these ba-
cilli is killed or rendered innocu-
Gus. Tubercu1in is really a distinct
kind of bacterial-vaccine used in the
treatment of tuberculosis, and has
been employed both for therapeutic
and preventive purposes.

STRUCK DOWN BY AUTO
Danbury Boy May Die of Injuries
Received From Machine.

Danbury. March 25-Isidore, the IL
year-old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
Heller, was perhaps fatally injured
last night when he was struck by an
automobile driven by Emil Cantert.
The boy ran across Liberty street as
the auto was approaching, evidently
not noticing the machine. He was
knocked down and rendered uncon-
Scious. He was taken to a hospital
where it was said that his condition
was critical. Mr.. Cantert was ar
rested, but released on his own recog-
nizance.

The Lafayette boys played a
spirited and clean game; and al
though they were crippled by the
absence of two of their regulars
they displayed a gritty spirit and
good knowledge of the game.
After the victory a special feast
in honor of the inaugural game

wards the success of the game.
Yells were given for the first

Several of the larger boys who

CITY INSTALLS new
engine THIS WEEK
$50 Horsepower Meitz and
Weiss Engine Added
to Power Plant

On Wednesday the $50 horse
power Meitz and Weiss engine,
which was sold to- the city of
0pelousas by Mr.. Armas Durio,
of this city, sometime ago, was
installed by Superintendent
Jones and special representative
of the Meitz and Weiss people,
Mr.. Faust.
This is the second oil engine
which has been installed at the
local power plant during the
present administration, an d
these two engines combined will
save, it is estimated, approx
mately one thousand dollars a
month, for the present, to the
city. The old steam engine,
which was a burden to the city
for many years has been dis
carded. There will no longer be
any steam engines at the power
plant. With the 100 horse-pow-
er machine, which has been used
for over a year, the new en-
'gine will be able to give Opelou-
sas the best electric light SER
vice ever enjoyed by the citizens
here.
When the mayor and board of
aldermen first considered re-
modelling the already dilapidat-
ed power plant it was thought
by many that the purchasing Of
a Meitz and Weiss engine was
too much of an extravaganza.
Now, however, it is easy to un-
derstand that these gentlemun
made no mistake whatever in in
vesting so much money in an en-
CINE, which saved the city over
six hundred dollars each month,
since its erection. It is now
hoped and believed that the sec
ond engine will prove as success
full as the first. With such a
saving it is not difficult to un-
derstand the progressive move
of the present administration in
securing an additional engine,
which with the old one will give
a combined power of $50 horses,
which is sufficient for Opelousas
for many years to come.
Mr.. Jones in the beginning
urged the purchasing of the
first, as we'll as the second en-
gine, and he has taden particu-
lar pains, this week, to see that
the new addition to the modern
power plant, which Opelousas
now possesses, be laid properly.
He expresses full confidence in
the success of the two Meitz and
Weiss engines.

STRANGERS IMPRESSED
With OPELOUSAS
Nebraskan Buys Farm
and Expects to Leave
Son as Manager

E. J. w. Evans and wife and
Ralph Evans and wife arrived in
this city on Thursday morning
from their home in the north
western portion of the state of
Nebraska. Mr.. E. J. w. Evans,
who is the father of Ralph Evans,
purchased a plantation from Mr..
Arthur Veltin Of this place about
two years ago, and on this trip
he has come to Louisiana with
the expectation Of placing his
son as manager of his farm.
The Nebraskans are very well
impressed with Opelousas and
vicinity, and the senior Mr..
Evans is greatly pleased with
his purchase. When asked
whether or not he liked this
place he stated that after MAX
ing a careful inspection of the
farming conditions in Louisiana
he had come to the conclusion
that the lands around Opelousas
were the best and that he had
made no mistake whatever in
4
selecting st. Landry as a place
to. settle in the future. The
lands around here he considers
extremely cheap. It is beyond
his understanding how farmers
in this portion Of the state will
sell their land at such low figures,
since in Nebraska, where the
lands are not so fertile as those
here, one would have to pay
three hundred dollars an acre
for property which can be bought
at fifty near this city.
The Evans family were the
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Veltin for a few days this week.

BIRD SUPPER WILL
Be TUESDAY night
Local Elks To Give Annual
Game Feast In Honor
Of Lady Friends.

Now girls stand up and take
notice! Be sure to look your
best on next Tuesday night, as
your Elk friend will probably in
vite you to partake of that splen-
did feast which will be given at
the Elks Home on that night.
Get out your dancing pumps and
prepare yourself to have a time
galore, if you are in a gay happy
mood and have the holiday feel
ing creeping into your system
slowly.
The members of the local or
der of B. P. 0. E., headed by
Mr.. A. S. ]. Campbell, are get
ting everything in readiness for
the annual bird supper, which is
given each season in honor of
the fair sex. The crack shots,
who are members of the local or
der, together with a few friends
have taken a weekend vacation
and their shots, no doubt would
make one think that some farmer
has installed a gattling gun on
his place. All indications are
that the feast will by far surpass
any ever given in this city by a
fraternal order, and it is expect
ed that all who will attend will
pronounce it a success in every
way, shape or form.
This spread has been yearly
event for the local Billies, and
this city has been known to be
one Of the most hospitable in the
state, the consequence of which
Elks from various portions OF
Louisiana come TO OpelOuSaS 10
attend this supper. It is need
less to mention how anxiously
the ladies Of Opelousas are look
ing forward to this event, as they
are always ready to spend an en-
joyable evening as guests of the
local order of Elks.
After the spread the large and
commodious dining hall of the
Elks Home will be converted in
to a splendid dancing room, and
undoubtedly there will be a band
to furnish the music for the
dancing which will be indulged
in. AS this sport is one of the
most popular in Opelousas it is
expected that when the band
strikes forth the first waltz there
will be a number of young as
well as old people on the floor.

CITY FATHERS DREAM
TO BE REALIZED SOON
Work on Paving Streets Progressing Nicely and
Opelousas Will Soon Be
Well Paved City

The graveling, which was
started about two weeks ago, is
progressing nicely and it viii
not be long before the two miles
Of streets, which are to be pavee
with tioga gravel, will have beer
converted into splendid drive
ways, and the accustomed mud
holes will have disappeared for
ever. How pleasant it will be
for the people driving into Ope'
lousas not to have to encounter
the numberless practically i'm.
passable mudholes, which this
city has had the reputation OF
possessing during each winter
season for many years past!
The work on Landry street
seems to be drawing the atten.
ton Of the public as being sue.
cessful thus far. 1t is true that
it does not look as nice as it will
when the last coat Of gravel will
have been laid on the principal
business street in Opelousas.
From Louis Christ, in the west
ern portion of the city to Market
Street, the first coating of gravel
has been laid and rolled and a
change for the better can al
ready be noticed.
The contractor H. T. Clark, of
Alexandria, is to be commended
most highly for the good work
which he is endeavoring to give
to Opelousas, and if nothing hap
pens he will turn over his job to
the city engineer in the best of
condition, the consequence of
which Opelousas will be able to
boast of some of the finest tioga
gravel streets in the state.
Mr.. Clark has also accepted
the contract for the paving with
creosoted blocks the nine squares
in this city. The contract was
at first awarded to R. M. Hy-
ans, but Mr.. Hyams, after hav-

Arnaudville Fair Successful.

The Catholic people of the
town of Arnaudville held a ba-

for the benefit of their church
and made a net profit Of $472. so.
During the day time the affair
was attended by over five hun
dred people, whilst the play,
which was staged on Sunday
night, was also, largely attended.
Everything went on as smooth
ly as could be imagined, no
trouble happened, and every
body, of no matter what religi-
Gus belief, who witnessed and
took part in the affair had a
most delightful time.

ing furnished the necessary bono

Clark.
The work on the creosotec
wood blocks is expected to begin
about Monday of next week. The
material is on the way here and
as soon as it reaches Opelousas
the work of constructing the
permanent street pavement will
be started. The general public
is anxious to see this work start
ed, since so much has been said
about it in the last two or three
months. Many predict that Ope-
lousas will be one of the best
paved cities, of its size, in Lou
isiana, and it is undoubtedly to
be hoped so, at least.
The Mayor and Board of Al
dermen worked hard for nearly
a year in order to get Opelousas
out of the mud, and as the pres
ent administration will come to
a close next month, the dream
Of the most progressive city
fathers Opelousas has ever had,
is about to be realized at the
very threshold Of the election for
Mayor and Members of the
Board of Aldermen. The work
they have accomplished as a
whole will be looked back with
pride by every man who COM
pose this body, whilst the people
Of Opelousas will point to this
administration as being the most
successful they have seen here
in the history of this city.
The City Engineer, Mr.. J. J.
Naff, is kept constantly busy
with the paving and he is TAX
ing particular pains that his city
will get just what the contract
calls for. He. however, ex-
presses full confidence in the con-
tractor, and expects to see the
work come up to the approval of
every citizen in Opelousas.

College SURPRISES
FRIENDS BY WINNING
st. Charles Victorious LIN The
First Football Game
BY 1871.

In one of the most exciting
games ever seen on the college
campus, the Juniors of St.
Charles College at Grand Coteau,
playing the first game of foot
ball ever staged at the college,
downed the Lafayette High
School Boys in a magnificent
victory by a 1877 score. From
the beginning to the end the on
lockers were kept in one contin-
ual thrill Of excitement and as
play followed play the collegians
gave vent to their enthusiasm in
rousing lusty yells.
st. Charles won the toss, and
chose the goal. The ball was
kicked to st, Charles thirty yard
and advanced ten yards. Then
Barousse tooked the pigskin
around left end for a gain of
twenty yards when he went out
of bounds and was tackled
by a Lafayette boy. The rules
impose on the offending side a
loss of fifteen yards for tackling
out of bounds. This brought the
st. Charles boys within ten yards
Of the Lafayette goal, and H.
Thompson skirted right end for
a touchdown, amid an outburst
of yelling and shouting seldom
seen at any of the college games.
St. Charles in her first game OF
football had been the first to
score. The field goal was missed.
Score 60 in favor Of st.
Charles. This aroused the
Lafayette boys, and before the
first quarter was over they had a
touchdown and kicked the goal
giving them seven points and
making the score 7-6. They had
tried to pierce the S. C. G. line
but found it impossible. Around
the ends they had faired no bet
ter, and then they worked a

beautiful forward pass, taking
the st. Charles boys off their
guard, for a gain of forty yards
and the goal, The whistle blew
the end of the first quarter. The
second quarter was blown in
with the score 7-6 in favor of the
visitors and the ball in their pos
session and only ten yards from
the opponents goal line. The St.
Charles boys pulled themselves
together, held Lafayette for four
downs, and then brought the ball
down to the center of the field,
where both sides see-sawed up
and down until the end of the
first half. The third quarter be-
gan by Lafayette kicking the
ball to st. Charles 18 yard line,
and ''Heinie" Thompson again
got the ball.
st. Charles kicked off at the
beginning of the fourth quarter,
Troy sending the ball to Lafay-
ette's five yard line, and it bounc-
ed over the goal for a touch
back. The ball was then put in
play at Lafayette's Is yard line.
The visitors tried several forward
passes most Of which were un-
successful; but they got away
with good one which would
have been good for a touch-d down
had the Lafayette lad been able
to keep his lead. McHardy and
Vandegaer Of st. Charles went
down after him, the former
bringing him to the ground, af-
ter a run of forty yards. Here
the ball was on ST. Charles thir-
ty yard line. Lafayette was
held in four downs for a loss of
twenty yards, owing to the
brilliant work of Young and Nc
Hardy. Troy for St. Charles
took the ball down the field on a
series Of plays around the end
and through the center to the
twelve yard line, and finally
for a touchdown.
Yells were given for the college
hero. Lafayette now kicked off,
but after a few plays that meant
little to either side, the time
keeper called the end of the
game, and St. Charles had play
