How Dlphtheria is Contracted.

One often hears the expression, " My
child caught a severe cold which devel-
oped into diphtheira,' when the truth
was that the cold nad simply left the
little one particularly susceptible to the
wandering diphthcria germ If your
child has cold when diphtheria is
prevalent you should take him out of
school and keep him off the street until
full recovered, as there i u hundred

Republican Offensive
Started in Southwest
W ellsworth Talks 10 Leaders al
Fort Worth; Taft Lends
a Hand

Special Correspondence
FORT WORTH, Tex, April 26.-The
big Republican offensive in the South
west was launched to-day when at
least 200 Republican leaders from va
rious parts of Texas and sister states
OF the Southwest heard from Senator
Wadsworth of New York in the Cham
Der Of Commerce auditorium. To-
days meeting was the most notable
political development in the Lone Star
State in the last decade and came as
great surprise to state Democratic
leaders, who had apparently expected
no SUCH action on the part of South
ern Republicans.
;, Senator Wadsworth urged that the
hepuphcans of the South rally for
the battle of 1920. He also urged
stronger organization and more ev =
tenslve campaigning in the South.
Following Senator Wadsworth's ad-
dress resolutions condemning govern
neht ownership of public utilities were
ADOPTED, together with other resolu-
eiohs vigorously condemnlng the ac-
lions OF Postmaster General Burleson.
ne action Of the Postmaster General
IN compelling" the Mackay Telegraph
Company to raise wire rates was espe-
clally condemned as "autocratic. In
democratic. and unjust"
The Republican conference was at
tended by leaders from practicable
every county in the state, and it is be-
heved that complete reorganization
Of the state Republican party will be
one OF the results of the meeting.
Definite plans toward making a hard
Congressional and GubcrnatoriaI race
in Texas were outlined.
William Howard Taft, who was sched
uled to attend the conference, was rot
present, but is still in the Southwest
and Is expected to visit Fort Worth
soon. The former President addressed
a great crowd at Sherman, fortv miles
north Of Fort Worth, last night.

game the corporation.
Two or three years will be required

to Chicago soon to bring Fred ]. Y.

Detroit to draw up plans for the ex-
position. Mr.. SkiH was manager Of
the Chicago, Buffalo, St Louis, and
San Francisco affairs.
Some idea OF what the project en-
tails may be gathered from the fact
that st. Louis spent $5000O,0OO to put
It's worlds fair on the map. San
francisco spent millions more on the
PanamaPacifc Exposition.
Detroit, to hold an exposition which
viii symbolic the coming of peace to
the world. will have to raise millions

Americas Victory Loan campaign
Yesterday reached the stage when lead
ers begin to take out their scratch
paper and struggle earnestly with fig
ures that represent what remains to
be done. As the first of the three
weeks drive drew to close last night
officials at headquarters indicated for
the first time that they felt subscrip-
tons were coming in too slowly.
Both the New York Federal Reserve
District and the nation as whole
were far behind their schedule, accord
ing 20 the latest figures. In the five
days Of activity which were reflected
in the Treasury totals last night. the
people Of the twelve Federal Reserve
districts subscribed to S705,623 100 Of
Victory notes. And in this district
the orders for the new government
securities amounted to $3.50 .O38.15O
The nations gain on the fifth day was
s15S6SS,400; the districts 1923, 465, 100.
s544,376,90u Behind
Tbs nation Is already 1914, 97e 900
behind its schedule, and the second
Federal Reserve district has incurred
deficit Of S194,97l $50 to overcome
in the two weeks that lie ahead. At
headquarters Of the loan, both locally
and nationally, officials feel merely
that 1t Is necessary to gear up the
soliciting machinery to G faster gait
and to bring more wildly than here
tofore TO the attention Of the nations
millions the necessity for each per
sons participating in the last popular
financial effort of the war.
The Government Loan Organization
in this district yesterday, for the first
time, drew attention to the fact that
the momentum of the loan drive thus
far has been insufficient to carry New
York to its goal.
George W Hodges, assistant director
OF the Government Loan Organization
in charge Of sales, IN reviewing the
first week of the campaign. said:
The campaign has been somewhat
retarded in the last two days by the
inclement weather and the district has
continued TO fall behind the daily
average Of subscriptions which must
be maintained to bring US over the
top at the end of the campaign. In
creased activity must be developed
materially during the remaining two
weeks Of the campaign"
New York Far Behind
In proportion TO its quota New
