THE GROWING CHILD By the U.S S. Public Health Service
DIPHTHERIA

The slogan keep your child at home when he has sore throat" used in. the article on scarlet fever is equally ap- pIcable to diphtheria. This disease, Ike scarlet fever has a short period of incu- bation, i. e. it develops withiV 9 few days after the infection was contracted. If your child $ not immune he will prob- ably show some signs of the disease with in from one to ssven days-usUally from two to five days-after exposure.
 Unforunately the manner of it's onset and the type of diphtheria varies so that in mild cases it is not always Dossi- ble to say that a child has diphtheria in the beginning In these cases this cannot always be stated positively until the Sc cretion from the throat and nose has been examined for the germs of the disease. Hence, you can see the importance for the safeguarding of other susceptible per sons, of keeping your child at home when l he has. a sore throat nasal discharge, and l enlarged glands in the neck even though 1 he does not see to be really iu- He may | be carrying with him virulent germs, dangerous to the community at large, and spartieularly so to the children.
 It is equally important for your own child's safety that he not only be kept at home when he has the above mention ed symptoms but that he also be kept quiet. The toxin. or poison, of diphtheria seems to have a decided predlection for l the heart and nervous system. and some times for the kidneys. In nearly all se- were cases there is some involvement ot the heart and a post-diphtheria paralysis i is not at all uncommon, the muscles of the throat being frequently affected.
 The use of antitoxin in diDhtheria is
 now the recognized method of treat
 ment It is important for parents 10 m

HARDIxG,s LEAGUE STAND.

Persistent effort has been made to miEsepresent the stand which Senator Harding has taken upon the league Where be has made reference to eer- tain portions of the covenant he has been quoted as opposed to any league or association that would operate for the ending of war
 As Co the league. Senator Harding stands on the republican platform. In ex. planation of his attitude sight should not hs lpst of the fact that he recognizes the need of a better understanding be- tween nations but he is unalterably op- posed to entering the Wilson league of nations That doesn't mean that he is aEainxt a world association of nations s0eh as will avoid the wrecking of the constitution of the United States.
 That is where he differs with his op. penent and where he gives consideration Co the protection of the interests of this country instead of pisdging ourselves tc rush into every scrap and war that de velOps in Europe
 There was a chance for reservation, Co have been made In the league durine the last session of congress whereb, thla country would now have been ; member of the league.

REPUBLICAN ENTERTAINMENTS.


 By the action of the republican caucus thcre have been placed before the people of the town of Norwich, to be voted up- on on the second of November the names of two well aad widely known citizens for representatives of the town in the next general assembly. The unanimous action Of the caucus indicated recogni- tion of the fact that they were regard Hd as men upon whom could be placed the task of alhng the office with full con hdence that their integrity and ability would be reflected in the handling of the duties and that they would be alert and faithful to every trust bestowed upon them.
 Dr. George Thompson of the fifth dis triet and (. v. Pendleton of the first district are fully acquainted with the necessity of giving Norwich the kind of representation that t should have. They arc in close touch in one way or an- other with the town and city affairs They hAy~ the best interests of the com nunity at heart and it can be fully ap. preeiated thar they will be the repre- sentatives of not any one particular class but of the entire people
 NlAn Int9e l1En lDE representative and FomHr Mayor Brown for senator from ths district there have beer hamed men who cannot fail to be re eanied as the choice of the party. The! are men who are not only entitled therefore. to party support, but they ar men of such standing that it is believe, that thox win command the votes of tn sovas7aepls iFFespecttve of party Witt such representation in the senate ant house of the general assembly there cal be expected that Norwich and the 19t district will be heard from in the legis iatlrs hall

 RERIII.n WORID- RAILWAYS

Etc railroads of the world are, now tlrnmg t. the United States ft- material with which to renew an1 enlarge tne.r working plants. Our exports of railway material ir the fiscal year 1929 aggregat- e1 vv=r Sf5000O.O0O in value as against SS0,009,O0e in 1918 and s25,O00.0O0 in the year before the war.
 Necessarily. says a statement by The National City Bank of New York. the worlds railways marked time" to a very considerable degree during the war especially in new construction. Even in our own country the number of miles if road constructed in the six years since the beginning of the war has been little mire than that of certain single years during the period of our active railway construction. In Europe the construction of new roads was, of course, limited by war demands and in many cases the de- struction far exceeded. the constructor. In oher parts of the world which had re- lied chiefly upon Europe for financing new construction and supplying materials therefore the industry of railroad building came also to practically a standstill and the worlds railway mileage emerged 1 from the war period showing but a small percentage of gain over that at it's begin i ming. It IS not surprising then, adds the | banks statement, to find that our exports of materials for railways in 1920 are siy times as much in value as in the year pre-
 ceding the war. Indeed the grand tota
 of material exported for railways woulC probably. approximate, and perhaps ex ceed $260, 900 if complete figure! could be obtained. In certain lines suel as steel rails. other track materials, To

TAFT BACKS HARDING.

Following a number of the speeches made by Senator Harding relative to the league of nations there have been those, who are standing by the course follow ed by President Wilson, who have been anxiously inquiring as to what ex-Pres-
 dent Taft was going to say. Interest
 in his attitude is due to the fact that he has long been working for the league to enforce peace that he has taken an ac- tive part' in advocating the league and even suggested changes in the league, some of which were adopted. He has also maintained, consistently with the statements by Senator Harding, that the republican candidate was favorable to a league that did not endanger in his opinion the safety of this country and
 it is because of the persistent efforts to charge Senater Harding with taking a stand other than he has upon the league that the former presidents comment was sought.
 MT. Taft finds himself in no strained position. He is fully conscious of the fact that he has been urging support of the league as brought from Paris but he declares that there is no one respon- SLUG IoT lIle WTeCklIlg or the WllSO1 league except the president himself This he declares the president brought about by article ten which he stubborn | ly refused to allow it to be eliminated or changed.
 The result is that Mir Taft cannot fail to give his approval to the stand taken by Senator Harding that he ap proves of an understanding in form that will safeguard our constitution ant
 he so declares and the futility of ex pecting that the election of the demo
 cratic candidate would make it possible
 to secure ratification of the wilsol league as it stands is shown when NIT Taft declares that Cox having "swal lowed article ten declares as chief exc
 cutive he will not approve the leagu
 without it. That means that with MI
 Cox We shall get no league, for even the democrats elected every senatoria
 candidate which they have in the fiel they would not have enough to carr the league without reservations" It is rlainly evident why Mir. Taft , for Harding and why everyone else wf has due regard for the country's welfar ? should be. The backing of Taft an , others is important because they ar league advocates
