Diphtheria Robbed of Its Terrors.

Antitoxin, produced by experiments
on animals, was introduced in 1895.
According to DR.. Roswell Park, the
death rate from diphtheria in 10 large
cities of the world in 1893 was slight
ly over so per 100000. By 1907 it
had fallen to II per 100000. In Man
haitian the death rate from this dis.
ease in 1894 was 158 per 100, 900; in
1905, the first year of the use of the
serum, it had fallen to SO. In Boston
the rate fell from $50 in 1904 to % in
1905.

complications have been m~arvelousIy

Moving Pictures In
Consolidated Schools

Fargo, Nov. 20.-N. G.. Macdonald,
Inspector Of consolidated rural schools,
arrived in the city last night from the
northern part of the state. Mr.. Mac
donald has visited schools in Ramsey,
Nelson and Towner counties for the
past two weeks and attended several
directors meetings. He says he found
one really uptodate rural school in
Nelson county, school where moving
pictures were part Of the equipment.
Inspector Macdonald took exception
to the statements that have appeared
in a number of state papers in con-
nection with Appreciation Week
booster editions, in which it is stated
that there are now 63 consolidated
schools in North Dakota. These fig
ures were correct two years ago, but
today they are slightly misleading, to
say the least. AS matter of fact,
the latest report by the inspector
shows that there are now 1872 such in
stitutions in the state, 80 in the grad
ed list and 81 in the high school class.

guard their interests.
The impending change in China's
form of government has made the sit
uation somewhat acute. Fear of revo-
luton in China and the possibility
of Japanese interference to preserve
peace have been impressed on Japa-
nese people to an extent that has at
tracted wide attention among the
European diplomats.
BY joining the entente allies, none of
China's operations could affect the
course of the war in Europe, but the
move would effectively guarantee
Japanese abstinence from interference
in China.
The origin Of the move to enlist
China on the side of the Allies is not
yet known here, but there are indica-
lions that some Chinese diplomats are
inclined very favorably toward it as
insuring the integrity Of China beyond
question and stabilizing the national
government. ~.

Little Hope for MonastIr's Escape
London, Nov. 19-The fate Of Mon
