nut numbers of the men have decided
TO remain in Palestine. More of the
Iegionaires are expected to return
here within a few weeks.
The report that the Jews of Pal

disappointment Mt the lack of effort
on the part of the Zionist Commission
in that country toward making it pos
sible for these young men TO become
established there.

every effort to prevent its, spread
among the other children.
I'VE must admit" said Health Of

Of cases Of diphtheria is far greater
than usual, but there should be no
cause for alarm. We are taking cui-
lures of students in school where
diphtheria has broken out and will do
everything in our power to prevent
its spread"
The disease is most prevalent in the
southeast, the Twining City section of
Washington. During the last week
the number of cases averaged from
six to eight daily. with some days as
many as twelve cases being reported.
A child was discovered yesterday
who had been attending school regu-
larly with a severe case of diphtheria
She was Immediately sent to her home
and Quarantined and blood cultures
taken of the entire school.
With careful investigation of every
case and strict watch kept on all
school children the health department
hopes to soon eliminate any danger
of an epidemic.
