A Warning.

The prevalence and dangers of
diphtheria in Kentucky are EN-.
phasized in a bulletin issued here
today by DR.. A. T. Mccormack,
State Health Officer. The bulle-
tin was issued at this time, &C.
cording to DR.. Mccormack, be-
cause the first epidemic of the
year already has commenced its
ravages in Menifee county.
There are certain facts" DR..
Mccormack said, (which parents
should recall now that diphtheria
has appeared for the first time
this season in epidemic form in
Kentucky. One-half of the
deaths from the disease, to
which children particularly are
subject, occur every year within
three months after schools re-
open.
These deaths are absolutely
needless. If, after the disease
has been acquired, enough anti
toxin is administered to the
child suffering within the first
three days of the diseases
course, the sufferers life will be
saved every time. The thing for
parents to do is to send each
child which has a sore throat to
a doctor Immediately and, where
he has had the disease, not to
permit him to return to school
until he is shown by a laboratory
analysis to be completely cured.
Last year for the first time
since vital statitics in Kentucky
have been kept the death rate
from diphteria increased. This
did not alarm us especially as
the increase in this State con.
formed to an increase all over
the United States, but the State
Board of Health is anxious tc
keep the disease we'll in hand
this year.

board to Menifee county to fight

by Secretary Denby. according to
Rosa +. Downing. president of the
state directorate of the American As
sociation for the Recognition of the

Mr.. Downing emphatically denied

that he was to have charge OF the

speech in London.
I'VE do not intend to dignity Ad-
miral Sims with such a demonstra-
tion," said Mr.. Downing. 1--WE do not
think he is worth bothering with on
that score. Instead, the American
Association for the Recognition of
the Irish Republic will publish the
names OF more than 1000 Americans
of Irish lineage who now lie on the
battlefields of France.
These are the 'jackasses' that the
distinguished British admiral of the
American navy had reference to. The
names have been taken from a list of
