The hearty support of the Knox
County Medical society was extended
to the Red Cross chapter of the coun.
ty in its offer to establish a clinic in
Mt Vernon for the examination Of
people threatened by tuberculosis, at
it's meeting Thursday at the Hotel
Curtis. -.
City Health Commissioner Work,
man presented the matter before the
society. He stated that the Red Cross
had offered to establish this clinic
here, and that it purposed to examine
competently people threatened with
tuberculosis who did not have the
money to pay for the work, and who
otherwise could not help letting the
disease get the best of them because
of the lack Of careful treatment.
During the many home inspections
made by the city and county nurse

were found. These people would do

.WARN|NG ISSUED
ON D|PHTHER|A
Health Commissioner Blair
Says All Cases OF Sore
Throat Must Be
Reported

County Health Commissioner H. w.
Blair stated Saturday morning that
an epidemic of diphtheria might re-
suit in Knox county, unless every pre-
caution is taken by the people.
Diphtheria has been prevalent all
over Ohio the past fall and this win
ter, but Knox county has escaped so
far, until day or so ago, according
to the statement of the health COM
missioner.
Several cases of the disease recent
ly developed in eastern Knox county
and one death was reported near DAN
vile last night.
DR.. Blair states that in these cases
the family physician was not called
until a week after the disease had de-
velOped.
The health commissioner states
that persons suffering from sore
throat should call the family physi-
clan when the case first develops
and that the patient should be kept
away from other persons. The health
commissioner states that il antitoxin
is administered at once there is very
little danger from diphtheria.
Health Commissioner Blair also
stated today that supply of anti
toxin had been deposited with physi.
clans in the following places In the
county: Centerburg, Danville, Freder-
icktown and Mt. Vernon; and that in
cases OF diphtheria anti-toxin will be
administered free of charge if the pa
tient is unable to pay for the treat
ment.
DIR. Blair indicated that unless ev.
cry precaution is taken to report ev-
cry case of sore throat to the family
physician, an epidemic OF diphtheria
may result in Knox county.

EXPLANATION q j | MADE 4 | ! .
Of PAY UP Week i / (.
Secretary Russell Gives Some
OfThe Problems With 4
out Names I


Following the announcements of the
Mount Vernon Advertising Club Of the
dates Of Pay Up Week-whichs will be
followed by the installation of "a cred
it inforpnation bureau-a number Of
problems have been presented to the
club for solution and today the secre.
tary gave the. substance OF some of
them minus names and hgures. ;
One that .seems particularly inter-
esting Involves the question, Just
what is'a good credit custoner?r and
it was but up to Secretary Russell of
the advertising club for. answer.
The. question was asked by mer-
chant, who stated that one Of his GUS.
toners Had owed him a bill for mer-
chandise, for a period of six months
amounting in round figures to 5000.
"Is he good or is his credit bad?" The
answer was Bad ~.
But ,theeman in question owns two
farms, city property and is probably
financially able to buy my whole store
twice and he would have paid this bill
were 1t not for the fact that he hasn't
marketed his. wool crop. When the
wool is sold he'll pay his bill and l
won't lose CENT ~
But the merchant will lose money
just the same the secretary insists.
Here's his dope" This merchant has
bought 5000 worth of merchandise
and turned it over to the customer
about six months ago-it's just the
same as il the customer had borrowed
5000 from the merchant. Had the Gus
toner gone to bank and said to the
banker, I'm a little short until get
my wool sold. Loan me 5000" The
bank would have loaned him the mon
ey at six percent and he could have
paid cash for his merchandise. ~
The way it is he went to the mer-
chant, who borrowed money at the
bank and paid six percent fc- it,
bought the merchandise and handed
it to the customer, who has the use
of it for six months, pays his bill and
feel virtuous for so doing while the
merchant pays the banker Sc for in
terest on the money he had tied up in
the merchandise. In addition to that
unless he operates with a mighty big
capital and small stock he won't have
been able to take his discounts in his
dealings with the jobbers, which
means an additional two percent and
then both customer and merchant
think the merchant didn't lose any.
thing.
The business man who studies his
books carefully will see where he is
losing money by being lax in granting
credits. More money IS lost annually
to business houses of Mount Vernon
by reason of "slow pays" than by rea.
son of dead BEATS" The idea that
because man pays his bill eventual
ly he is e good credit customer is alb
solutely wrong.
The good credit customer pays his
bills within 80 days and the only
"good credit account" is the account
when it is Paid.

body from the coffin and put II in this
cupboard used to keep the church fur

A few hours later a priest arrived and

woke the madman. who jumped out.
struck one of the bearers a blow on the
head and ran away. The bearer col
lapsed and died from fright. while the
priest and the others fed panic stricken.
Their cries brought a crowd to the
chapel entrance. Eventually some of the
bravest ventured inside to ascertain what
had happened. They found an empty
coffin and q dead man on the floor, and
naturally put the corpse into the coffin.
They then began to search for the
shroud which the mailman had taken
away with him. One of the searchers
opened the cupboard in the hope of find
ing something fit 10 cover the body Dr.
rectly he did so the hidden dead man fell
on him head first and knocked him
down.
The live man tainted from fright. and
panic again filed the chapel the crowd
rushing out and scattering through the
city. 1t was only after several hours
work by the police that the matter was
cleared up and popular excitement sub
sided.

Zita Has Not Given Up
Hope for Her Throne

PARIS. Sept. 2.-"Cherchez in femme"
that old French proverb was never so
true as during the recent attempt of
Charles of Hungary to regain his throne
in Budapest. 1t was stated that only
one person knew of his coup d'etat and
that only one person prepared the plot.
That person was Empress Zita of Bour-
bon Parme, Charles's wife. Even in her
childhood. according to Monsieur de Boa
nefOn, a well known French writer, En-
press Zita was known for her domineer-
ing ways, as we'll as for her lovable and
winsOme manners. BY her love she won
over to her the people of Hungary, al
though she was foreigner to them. for
she comes of the Frenc1 branch OF the
Bourbon Parme family. N Switzerland
Charles and his wife became known as
the young lovers. 2!ts is considered
one of the prettiest mcHarCbs OF Europe.
Unfortunately she has high ambitions,
and thirsts for luxury and an easy life,
which she hes not had in Switzerland
since her exile Thus she was goaded
to persuade Charles to make his bold bid
for his crown. She is considered the best
of mothers and takes the utmost inter
est in her five children. Today she has
not given up hope OF returning TO Hun
gary as queen of that country.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2-Legislation
to prevent a repetition of the practices
carried on by the United States Mail
Steamship Company will be sought by the
shipping board in the event that inves
rigation reveals that no criminal proceed
ings can be brought against the men who
took more than a million dollars from

Elmer Schlessinger, general counsel Of
the board, said he was not sure the men
who formed the company could be pros
ecuted criminally for their actions, but
If possible, they would be and If not
Congress would be asked to draft the
necessary law.
The entire facts in the case have been
put in the hands of the United states
district attorney in New York for In
vestigation. His inquiry is to include
not only the criminal phases Of the
matter but also to determine whether
civil suit can be brought against Charles
Mayer, organizer of the steamship COM

Government. houses, yachts and other
property he Is known to possess.
The Government will have TO bear a

SAID, as the result OF the operations OF
the steamship company. Altogether the
Government estimates that S1.2OO,Oo was
taken by the company and diverted but
half of this amount was for transpOr

was money which the company collected
from immigrants so they would have
