KEE? OFF DIPHTHERIA

Diphtheria is reported as exist
ing in more than half the counties
in Kentucky. 1t is epidemic in several
of them. This is not cause for
senseless alarm, but for intelligent
action. More than half the 249 deaths
which occurred from this disease
last year were in children whose
parents failed to call a physician
during the first three days of the
sore throat. The greatest American
authority speaking of diphtheria an
titoxin, says:
'When this remedy is properly
used on the first day of the appear
ance of the membrane in the threat,
there are no deaths from diphtheria
When delay in its use extends to the
second day the death rate runs from
five to ten per cent; when it extends
10 the third or fourth dNy it runs
ap to thirty, forty and even fifty
per cent"

tons are offered by the State Board
of Health to teachers, parents or

guardians for the suppression OF
diphtheria:
When a child has a sore throat il
should be excluded from school, kept
at home in bed, separated from other
children, and the fanny physician
called. This is essential if there are
whitish spots in the throat. Speci-
mems should be taken by the physi-
clan and examined in approved lab
oratories or sent to the State Health
Laboratories at Lexington or Louis
vile for the free examination. If the
case is at all suspicious antitoxin
should be administered at once, 5000
units If seen on the first day. and
from 1000 to 10000 units if seen
later. This dose should be repeated
IN six hours if the membrane is not
getting smaller. Antitoxin is fur
nished by the State Board of Health
at greatly reduced prices to physi-
clans and Boards of Health.

United Press stsH Cerresps.aest.
PARIS, Jan. 26.-KIng Nicholas, the
aged ruler of Montenegro, believes his
little nation should enjoy the same
right OF self-determinstion as larger
countries. He expressed confidence
today that the peace conference will
enforce the application Of this prin-
ciple.
In an interview with the United
States, Nicholas declared that Serbia
is attempting forcibly to annex Mon
tenegro, rather than Join with her in
formation Of q new Jugo-Slav states.
This alleged attitude OF Serbia is be-
lieved to have constituted one OF the
elements which resulted in the warn
ing issued yesterday by the supreme
war council-that claims to territory
seized by arms will receive no recog-
milton from the peace conference.
Watches Meet Closely.
Nicholas, who is living in the Hotel
Rue De Rivoli. is watching the peace
conference closely to determine
whether he is to be a King without
q kingdom or the ruler OF an inde-
pendent nation. He declared he is
an enthusiastic supporter of Presi-
dent wilson's policies and that he is
willing to abide by the Wilsonisn
policy as applied to Montenegro, even
II it means the loss Of his crown.
'"rhe Siberian army occupied Mon
tenegro Immediately following the
signing of the armistice after the
Montenegrins had driven the Aus
trians out of the country" said King
Nicholas.
"The Serbian government then has
tily attempted to annex our land by
force The Serbian regent (PriEce
| Alexander) did not hesitate to assume
the Montenegrin crown, which ! wore
| and still wear legally. after a reign OF
! rearly sixty years. He wished to go
before the peace conference with the
Union of Serbia and Montenegro as an
| established fact, explaining to the
delegates this was the will of the Mon
tenegrin people. But the Montena-
| grins rose in arms to defend their
! rights. They, like the other Jugo-
| Siavs, wished to become part of a con-
federation modelled on the United
States, where many OF our soldiers
lived for many years. They wished Ia
see President Wilson's principles ap-
/ piled to organization Of the Jug"-
/ Slavs-that is, that the people should
| decide their own fate.
