RECOMMEND MEASURES TO
 PREVENT DIPHTHERIA SPREAD

According to a bulletin sent out by the state health department, study Of the diphtheria situation in Connecticut indicates tha a further reduction in cases and deaths, aside from quarantine and isolation measures, depends in a large measure on parents. Parents must call in physicians early in the course of the disease in order that proper preventive measures and treatment of the diphthe- ria case can be carried out by using diphtheria antitoxin early in the sick ness.
 Measures used in combating diphthe- ria are:
 1. Diphtheria antitoxin must be giv- en early, and the first dose must be a reasonably large one to cure diphthe- ria.
 2. Diphtheria antitoxin G5O units) the immunizing dose must be given to all contacts-that is, persons who have been associated with the sick person. 3. The use of the Schick Test and the administration of toxin-antitoxin should be more extensively used, that children susceptible to diphtheria can bt located and that an immunization last 1 ing about three years can be admins trated.
 4. Quarantine of cases and isolation and culturing of contacts. The Connecticut state department O health supplies these products to phy sicians through the local health officer! of each community. A pamphlet or | their use can be obtained by any persoI 1 by writing to the Connecticut State De | partment of Health, State Capitol. Hart ford, Conn.
 Diphtheria antitoxin is given al times in too small doses The doses con i sdered by Dr. W. H. Park of the Nev York Department of Health as necessar, l for treatment of cases are as follows: i It must be borne in mind that thes are moderate and severe cases and tha malignant cases should receive a large amount than mentioned | Cases of iaryngeal diphtheria, moder ate cases seen late at the time of tn first injection, and cases of diphtheri occurring as a complication of the exam themata should be classified and treate | as severe cases. In all cases a singl 1 dose of the proper amount as indicate
 in the schedule, is recommended.
 Tt is recommended that the method
 of administration be as follows: Mild Cases-Subcutaneous or intrs muscular.
 Moderate ases-Intramuscular or su
 cutaneous.
 Severe Cases-Intramuscular or subcl
 taneous or intravenous
 Malignant Cases-Intravenous"

STREET MEETING SPEAKERS GET
 ARREST THEY WERE LOOKING FOR

the report, after arrst they were threat ened, beaten with blackjacks, struck with fists and jailed under abominable condi- tions. A swarm of spies and provocative agents were let loose upon the land; and the press meanwhile was filled with prop uganda, paid for by the taxpayers, as- serting tha piaN rhsdrobscer
 government by force tand violence was in evidence, when in effect. the utmost ex- ertions of the government failed to un- earth evidence to sustain it's claim. Among the more than 60,oOO aliens listed as suspect, not a single deed of violence, either contemplated or executed was shown. Mrs. Evans then referred to her own exexperience at Lawrence during the last strike, when, she said, officers of the law had assaulted and clubbed strikers who ! did not resist arrest, and when these open breaches of the law by officers were | condoned by the courts and by public opinion of those classed as the best peo- pie"
 Mrs. Evans also told of several of her | experiences in connection with the trials | of radicals in Boston
 | The meeting came to a close about 9:15 o'clock
 | Statement by J. L. spivak | After the meeting J. L. Spivak, repre- senting the American Civil Liberties i Union, under whose auspices the free speech test meeting was held in con Junction with the socialist party, issued the following statement:
