DON'T PLAY WITH
SORE THROATS; DIPH-
liberia is OUT AGAIN

The old terror of the home, the de-
stroyer that comes with hurricane
swiftness and brings dismay and grief
is rearing its ugly head again in the
land. DIPHTHERIA. Diphtheria the
dreadful.
The use Of anti-toxins brought the
death rate down during the last IL
years from the 60 and 10 percentages
to as low as 8 and 10 per cent. And
at that, most of those who died were
the victims of slow diagnosis or total
failure to apply the saving anti-toxin.
We won't argue one way or another
on the vexed vaccination question
all we know is that when go and 70
in hundred died before anti-diph-
liberia toxin was discovered, the rate
has fallen as low as 8.
In 1919, the diphtheria death rate
in the United States was ia. In
1910 it was IS. The lack of strict
quarantine, carelessness, failure to
take action when cases were young
all these are the cause of the in
crease. Unless people wake up and
act promptly; unless the health Of
ficers everywhere are watchful and
act decisively, it is very probable that
we will have a widespread outbreak of
this fearful disease in 1921.
This paper urges the peolpe of this
community to take no chances with the
grim destroyer in the coming months.
Don't let sore threats go for an hour
mot to speak of day. Don't dag
nose them yourself. Don't let your
children diagnose them. Get a ply
stefan in at all hazards and at the
earliest possible moment.
Doctors, we urge you to take no
chances. When in doubt, give the an
ti-toxin. Better be safe than sorry.

Counsel demurred to the complaint The
supreme court advises that the demurrer

In the demurrer it was set up that the

House Yet to Act.

The Senate by vote of 4S to 10

bill for regulation Of the meat pack

VALUE Of EXPORTS
REPARAT|ONS| ISSUE
Determination Of Question
Regarded as of Importance
to America.
By the Associated Pres.

PARIS. August 4.-One of the ques-
tions regarded as Of much Importance
to America now before the repara-
tions commission is the determination
Of what is meant by the value of
exports" in fixing the variable annu-
ity of 26 per cent on German exports.
Germany represents that the value
of exports should not include the cost
Of raw materials imported from Amer
lea or elsewhere, nor the goods re-
exported from Germany. nor goods
partly finished abroad. nor coal and
other reparations staples exported to
the allies.
Want Value Limited.
Representatives of the German
treasury insist that the value Of ex-
value Of articles manufactured from
German raw materials and the value
added to imported raw materials by
German labor. They affirm that Ger
man manufacturers already have en-
tered into large contracts in the
for raw materials or partly finished
goods, which would unjustly be at
fected by the allies collecting rs per
cent of that part Of the finished arti-
cles, based on the cost of raw ma
terials.
German government leaders also
aver that although 26 per cent of the
value Of exports is defined by the al
lies as an index figure for variable an
nuities, it must, in reality. be 26 per
cent tax on various classifications OF
exports. Some classifications, they
say, cannot stand this levy and. con-
sequently, the German exports of
those categories will be wholly ex-
tinguished to the detriment of Ger
many and the allies as we'll as to the
importing Of neutral countries.
Position Of C0mmission.
Although the reparations commits
sion has not informed Germany Of its
rulings on these disputed points, it is
understood the commission has ap-
preached and dealt with these ques-
tions upon the general ground that
this is not an economic agreement be-
tween Germany and the allies. but q
means of Germany's paying her debts.
and that efforts to reduce the variable
annuities by ingenious interpretations
should be accompanied by suggestions
for other means Of equivalent pay
ments.
