hand to the mouth It is probable
that the average individual comes
in contact with hundred or more
persons every day and is hence prac-
tically daily exposed to Infection with
diphtheria. Some persons, mainly
those remaining at home, associate
with but few, but other members of
the household are not so isolated
School children come in close contact
often with more than hundred others
in day. Occasionally one may even
see hundred persons on a single
street car and none will doubt that
many more than that number will
cough into the air of a moving pic
ture theatre during an evening.
To demonstrate further what one
per cent means, let us see what are
the actual figures. In 1914 the official
census Of Detroit was 537,650. One per
cent of this is 1915. 1t would be diff
cult indeed for any one living in De-
troit to avoid contact with one, two,
five or more Of these 1915 dissemina-
tors Of diphtheria germs. Nor is there
reason to believe that in time Of cpl
demic the figures for any other large
community are lower in proportion.
These data gathered by the public
health service, as we'll as data Of the
same nature obtained by other work
ers, demonstrate one of many reasons
for personal care Of the throat and
nose, avoidance Of too intimate con-
tact with others, and the necessity OF
early preventive measures in the case
of those suffering from "sore-throat"
and LESSONS suspicious Of diphtheria.

Quickest, Surest Cough
Remedy is Home
Made
Easily Prepared In q Few Min.
utes. Cheap but Unequaled

Some people are constantly annoyed
from one years end to the other with a
persistent bronchial cough, which Is who'll
ly unnecessary. Here is q home made
remedy that gets right at the cause and
will make you wonder what became of it.
Get 212 ounces Pinex go cents WORTHY
from any druggist, pour into pint bottle
and fill the bottle with plain granulated
sugar syrup. Start taking it at once.
Gradually but surely you will notice the
phlegm thin out and then disappear al
together, thus ending a cough that you
never thought would end. It also loosens
the dry, hoarse or tight cough and heals
the inflammation in painful cough with
remarkable rapidity. Ordinary coughs
are conquered by it in "a hours or less.
Nothing better for bronchitis, winter
coughs and bronchial asthma.
This PineX and Sugar Syrup mixture
makes a full pint-enough to last a
family long time-at cost of only 81
cents. Keeps perfectly and tastes pleas
ant; Easily prepared. Full directions
with Pinex.
Pinex is special and highly concen-
trated compound of genuine Norway pine
extract, rich in guaiacol, and is famous
the world over for it's ease, certainty and
in overcoming bad coughs,
chest and throat colds.
Get the genuine. Ask your druggist
for "2A ounces Pinex," and do not accept
else. A guarantee of absolute
or money promptly refunded,
goes with this preparation. The Pinex

MALARIA.

If the United States were under /
sanitary dictatorship-and had the
right sort OF dictator-it could wipe
out malaria in a single year. Recon-
Investigations prove something which
keen observers felt sure of long ago
that the malaria parasite is carried
over the winter in the bodies or its
human victims Give all these q
thorough course of treatment with Qui
nine before the first mosquitoes ap-
pear in the spring. and the insects be-
come harmless because they have no
germs to carry.
1t Is simple in theory but impossible
in practice. Americans will not toll
crate such a dictatorship as that sug-
gested above. The only alternative is
to educate the people till all will CO.
operate in fighting disease. and this Is
a slow job. Still. it is going forward.
Many districts of the south which used
to have fifteen to twenty-five per cent
of their population suffering from ma
laria now have only four per cent
afflicted; and this change was brought
about by single educational cam
paign of the public health service.
Pasteur's prediction that all con-
tagious diseases will be banished from
the earth will yet come true, and the
day of fulfillment may be nearer than
any Of us dare to hope.

Liquor Behind Girls Charge.
BY United PreSs1

OROV1LLE, Calf. March THE
Rev. Madison Slaughter, Baptist pas
tor OF Chico, was slated for trial here
today on the first of five indictments
charging him with misconduct with
fifteen year old Gertrude Lamson,
daughter of member of his congrega-
ton. Slaughter insists he is the vic
tim of trumped up charges on the part
Of liquor interests, who here and else
where have sought, he says, to get"
him. On the other hand, the girl
claims her charges are true; though
her parents publicly announced that
they did not credit her story and have
stood firmly by the pastor. The girl
says the alleged misconduct occurred
on Slaughter's ranch and that after
ward he and his family threatened
trouble for her if she exposed their al
legged relations. Since the indictments
were returned last month, Slaughter
has not been occupying his pulpit, say

THE CASE OF YOUNG oRPET.

THE CASE OF YOUNG ORPET.
The Chicago police department is
puzzling itself over the case Of Will
Orpet, the Wisconsin university
junior who is involved In the death
Of Frances Lambert, the Lake Forest
high school girl whose body was
found in a patch Of woods near her
home recently. Inc question that
Is bewildering the police is, did the
girl commit suicide, or was the
poison administered to her by Orpet,
either forcibly or in the guise Of
medicine? It Is quite evident that
Orpet has not told the entire truth
pertaining to his connection with the
girls end. says the Burlington Ga
zette. He is the one person who can
entirely clear up the case, and judg-
ing from admissions already made by
him under the pressure of police
questioning, he will soon make COM
plete confession. Orpet cuts poor
figure in this tragedy. After wrong
ing the Lambert girl he heartlessly
Tilted her and engaged himself to an
other young woman of most estim-
able reputation, as for that matter,
was his victim until her tragic death
revealed the story of her shame.
Orpet, no doumt, is suffering keenly
now for his indiscretions. If not di-
rectly to blame for the girls death,
he certainly was a most potent &C
cessory, according to his own state
ments. Orpet is a prize specim en- Of
selfishness. It Is safe to say he is
not grieving over the death of the
young woman who placed her trust In
him, or of the other young woman to
whom he is engaged to wed. His
main consideration is what the law
Will do with him, and 1t is hoped the
law will deal with him just as leni-
entity as he dealt with his victims.
