Contrary to alarming reports no cases

only five cases were reported in the en-

was traced to man working in the
family who last May returned from MILF
tary service. At that time he was sui.
ferng from sore throat. He did not en-
ploy physician. nor did he report his
trouble to the health officer. 1t is
thought now that his trouble was acute
diphtheria. Both the children who had
paralysis are improving. Another child
in the family. a girl of seven years,
was not i'll. Health Officer Howard says
It is very important that all cases OF
communicable disease be reported to him
whether a physician is employed or not:
in fact, the law requires it, and cases
Of sore throat which seem slight often
prove diphtheretic
Health Officer Howard has organized his
work in every town In the district ex-
cept St. Adams town. where he expects
TO complete organization soon. The
district health officer is now the secre-
tary and executive officer OF local boards
OF health. Most of DIR. Towards work
so far has been in organizing and on
school buildings. l. e.. inspecting rural
school buildings The aim throughout
the State is to bring the sanitary con-

up to the standard, but several In district
one were found deficient in both respects.
AS a rule, however, there is a DISPOSE
ton to meet the requirements and make

erai impression in official circles Is that
the report is well founded
Japan's answer to such a request by
the government would have an impor-
tant bearing on the Senate's considera-
ton of the peace treaty, as one of the
objections to 1t on which opposition IL
being centered Is the Shantung provis-
lon.
Administration supporters of the
treaty feel that q definite announcement
by Japan setting date for the return
of Kiao Chau would go far to remove
that point.
Various japanese officials have stated
that Kiao Chau would be returned, but
a time was never set.

States His Church Affiliation

l deprecate the fact that church matters have
been dragged into this race for mayor, Church
relations are too sacred to be the subject of polti-
cal or other controversy. consider 1t very unfor-
tunate that any candidate for public office must
refer to his church connections or affiliations be-
lieving asI do that-there are many good men and
women in all the churches and also many good
men and women who are not members of any par
ticular church, but inasmuch as it has been
charged and circulated that am Catholic, in
justice to myself and the public, desire to say
that am not Catholic, but became member
of the Methodist Church in my young manhood
and have been affiliated with that church ever
since. However, accord every man the right
and privilege to select his own church connections
/ appeal to the fair minded voters, especially
among the great working masses Of the people,
as to whether or not it is just and fair for can
didate or his friends to make such fragrant and
false charges as this against candidate simply for
the purpose of prejudicing the minds Of the vot-
ers against him, who don't know his church faith,
and I appeal to- the voters of Knoxville to resent
such method of campaigning.
