Auto Accident.

An auto accident occurred three miles
east of this city on Saturday afternoon,
Dec 2lst, in which Chandler Heath and
Frank Whitford were injured and the
machine badly damaged
Richard Heath, accompanied by his
father, Chandler Heath, and MIR. and
Mrs. Frank Whitford and child, were
on their way from Waldwick to this
city in Heath's new automobile. When
the party was on the level stretch east
of viii Proctor's home they met a lady
driving a single horse and buggy who
refused to give any of the road to the
auto. Mr. Heath turned out onto the
rough ground and struck a rut which
threw the auto onto its side. The top
of the car was up which undoubtedly
saved the occupants from more serious
injuries.
Chandler Heath had his nose badly
cut and bruised and his left wrist
sprained, and Frank Whitford had an
arm and leg hurt, the others escaping
with slight injuries. The radiator OF
the auto was twisted, the top smashed
and the windshield broken. The ma.
chine was towed 10 the Star garage in
/ this city for repairs.

Are You Vaccinated 2

On account of the prevalence Of
smallpox in Wisconsin sc this time,
the Health Instruction Bureau urges
the serious consideration OF vaccination
upon every reader Of this column One
hundred years ago smallpox was so
prevalent in England that one in ten
deaths was due to that cause and an I'M
marked skin was used as a means of
identification. Today, smallpox sears
are exceptional, and this favorable sit
uation has been brought about mainly
by vaccination.
The danger Of vaccination has been
urged against its employment, but is
far less than the danger Of remaining
unvacclHated.
Jenner, an English country physi-
clan, discovered vaccine in 1893. He
found tradition in Gloucestershre,
that dairy workers. who had acquired
cow-pox, accidentally, never contracted
smallpox. He reasoned that il acct
dental COW pox infection, a very mild
disease in man, gave protection against
very fatal disease, it was the duty Of
physicians 10 secure that protection for
their patients by deliberate vaccination.
Whatever dangers attended vaccina-
ton in the past (negIble as compared
with the benefit secured) is now almost
eliminated by the addition Of glycerine
in the manufacture of vaccine In the
I comparatively few instances in which
small pox is acquired, after supposedly
successful vaccination, the disease runs
a very mild course TX.
