Is Marriage a Success?

Do we try TO make marriage q
success7 How much we leave ur-
done that we might do. Many
women fail to realize that quality
of character is what attracts
worth while man. There is a long
future ahead and only good sub.
stantial qualities can satisfy.
A man needs a "chum," a conf.
dent who is sympathetic and under
stands him. II a wife becomes dull
and disinterested in her husbant's
affairs, eventually he will seek the
company OF other more stimulating
women, and gradually thew DRIFT
apart. Life becomes psthetically
difficult, then possibly separation
and divorce.

PREVENTING
DIPHTHERIA
By Brice Belden, NJ. d.

DIPTHERIA is one of the more
serious Of the diseases, but 1t
is durable and preventabls.
About one case out of every eight
is fatal, and it is important that
children, especially those between
the ages of two and ten yearp.
should be given the Schick test to
determine whether they can or can
not catch the disease. II the test
shows that the child is not immune
to this particular disease, a serum
called toxin -anti-toxin may be in
jected to make him immune.
When the Schick test is given a
tiny dose OF diphtheria toxin Is
injected into the arm. If the per-
sons blood contains natural anti
toxin, that is. IL he Is immune,
there will be no reaction. II he is
liable to contract the disease there
will be distinct area OF redness
around the spot where the dose was
injected. There is absolutely no
risk involved in this test.
Toxfn-anti-toIin Is special
preparation used only TO effect inn
munization, while anti-toxin is useo
only in the treatment OF an actual
case OF diph iberia. Over one-half
of the cases OF diphtheria were
formerly fatal. and 1t is believed
that the present rate of fatality
Zone out of every eight can be re-.
duced by early use of anti-toxin,
protection being practically certain
If 1T is administered during the
first twenty-four hours OF the dis
ease. Hence the importance Of
knowing the symptoms and callins
in the doctor at their first appear
ance.
To recognize the symptoms OF
this disease IL is necessary to know
that sore throat with white de-
posits on or near the tonsils is
enough justification for immediate
ly calling the doctor. The symp-
toms coming later are fever and
depression. other beginning symp-
toms may be hosrseness. a croupy
cough and running nose with OBJ
structed breathing.
