Poor Are Denied Cheap
AntitOXin
Complaints Made to State
Board of Health That
Prices are Excessive
In Some Local
tiles.

Richmond, Va, January ID
Needy parents whose children
are suffering from diphtheria
are being forced to pay cxor
bitant prices IN some localities
for nnutoxin, according Ia com
plants recently filed with the
State Board of Health. which
today issued a special warning
on the subject.
in one case brought to the
attention of the board, it is al
legged that antitoNin, similar in
every way To that dispensed
through the board of health, is
being retailed at n much higher
price To people of small means
who must either buy IL or en-.
danger the lives OF their CHI.
dren by waiting the arrival of
antitoNln shipped from Rich
mond, Roanoke or one Of the
other antitoXin stations
"The people of the State must
be on their guard against such
hold ups, - said an officer Of the
board in discussing the matter
today. "At most drug stores,
antitoXiu is sold at fair in
crease over the price at which
1t is dispensed through The
State Board Of Health. and the
druggists generally are cooper
ating to place this remedy in
the hands of all who need 1t at
reasonable figures. But every
year brings some reports of
druggists who are making mon
ely from the necessities of the
poor and selling antotoxin at
eXorbltant rates.
"The antltoXin sold through
the State Board can Toe had by
anyone who needs it-drug
gist, physician or private citi-
zen-at a cost of 90 cents for
each 900 units. A syringe of
10000 units, which is full
dose for the average case of.
diphtheria costs S3.lO if bought
through the board. From these
figures, parents can Judge
whether retail prices are exces
siye. There is no place in the
State where antitoNin should
be sold at more than 80 cents
the thousand units, although
we have received quotations
from retailers as high as 81 Is
the thousand units
"Diphtheria antitoxin should
not be staple for speculation.
1t is "A necessity in diphtheria,
and unless it can be had quick
ly in needed cases, there is a
very grave danger to the pa
tient
"This is well illustrated bv
the death rate from diphthcria
in certain counties Of southwest
Virginia where railroad com
munication is inadequate. In
four counties of the southwest,
more children died from diph
liberia in a year than died dur
ing the same period IN ten cities
with population four times as
great. 1t is outrageous to traf
iic in the needs of such people
as these and to demand more
than a reasonable profit on an
titoxin
"Hhe State Board of Health
is anxious to ascertain where
antitoXin is sold at excessive
rates and is prepared to ship
the remedy at any time to any
part of the State at the lowest
possible wholesale price

U. S. CAN MAKE YOU FIGHT
Every Able bodied Man of IS to As
Years Must Respond at Call.

4 Under a federal law known as the
Dick Bill the federal militia consists
/ of every able-bodied male citizen be-
| tween the ages of Is and As years in
the states, territories and District of
Columbia. Persons of foreign birth
who have declared their intentions of
becoming citizens are classed as citi-
zens.
The federal militia is divided into
two classes, the organized militia, gen.
orally known as the national guard of
the various states, and the reserve
militia.
The only exemptions from military
duty are, in general, government Off
Gals and members of we'll organized
religious sects whose creed forbids
its members to participate in war in
any form. The latter is understood
to apply only to .Quakers and Shakers.
The federal militia, organized and
reserve, may be called to arms by
the president whenever he deems it
necessary. The militia cannot be sent
to foreign service without its consent.
The regular army and volunteers,
however, may be sent anywhere at the
presidents direction.
1t was the object of the Dick Bill to
give the president the same power
over the militia as he has over the
army and volunteers, but the attorney
general interpreted it otherwise.
Most states provide for the pur-
chase of exemptions from military
duty. 1t is customary for those
who furnish substitutes to pay into
the military fund of the state GER

tain sum of money each month for as
long as he would have served under
arms.
Should the United States declare
war it will not necessarily mean that
the president will call out the militia.
Volunteers will be asked first. The
president will decide how many men
are necessary and then apportion the
levy among the various states. AS far
as possible the organized militia or
national guard units, will fill that call.
Only in case sufficient forces cannot
be collected by volunteering will the
militia be conscripted.
