DIPHTHERIA DEATHS
IN STATE INCREASE
Health Board Emphasizes Needless
ness of Deaths When Sure
Cure Can Be Had.

Louisville, March 19.-With COM
plete figures on the number of deaths
caused in Kentucky last November
and December by diphtheria now
available, the State Board of Health
has issued new warning against this
disease. In November of last year
there we're ninety fatalities due to
diphtheria, which number was seven
teen in excess of the 1920 deaths.
Similarly, for December, 1920, there
were sixty-three fatalities or eighteen
more than in December Of the pre-
ceding year.
Every death caused by diphtheria,
the Board of Health's warning states,
need not have occurred, as antitoxin
administered early enough and In
sufficient quantities is sure cure
for the disease. The warning also
states that this antitoxin may be OBJ
tanned from the board at cost price
by physicians in the State and calls
attention to the fact that INDECENT
persons. unable to pay for antitoxin
even when 1t is for them at cost
price. may obtain 1t free from their
county health officers.

our Commonwealth. He said since it
takes considerable time to organize
all the counties the Committee hopes
that the good citizens of each coun-
ty who are interested in helping the
starving Chinese will get together
quickly and form their own organi-
cations and advise him or Mr.. Jos.

TESS LAUDS WORK
OF GOTH CONGRESS
Beats Record of Is Years In
- Finishing Supply
Bill.

Washington, March 19.-Represen-
tative Simeon ID. Tess, of Ohio, chair
man Of the National Republican Con-
gressional Committee, sums up the
work Of the 66th Congress in a state
ment in which he says;
'The 66th Congress ended its third
and last session at noon March 4.
THE second session ended June 8,
1920 Five months later the people
registered their verdict upon its work.
Since that verdict the last session
has made its record. The House
completed all the supply bills at an
earlier date than had seen this work
done in the past % years. In the
Senate the Navy bill was caught in
the legislative jam and failed action.
All the others became law save the
army bill which met the pocket veto
tof the President.
"This is conceded a legislative
achievement since ordinarily the sup
ply bills fail passage in the short ses-
sion. The war has so complicated
the appropriations, the estimates be-
eng seven or eight times what they
were before the war, that sharper
scrutiny OF every item and longer
time are required. In addition the
operation of the new rule centraliz-
ing appropriations in one committee
entails greater consumption of time
to reach agreement of the two houses
upon points of disagreement. The
desire to test the efficacy of the new
rule also required more time.
'Tn addition to enacting the supply
bills, the Congress-la session epact-
ed considerable important legislation.
Some important measures failed by
presidential veto, such as the emer@
gency tariff bill, the immigration bill.
A great number of bills are still in
conference between the two houses.
Numerous additional measures pass.
ed one House and failed to reach~the
floor in the other, or favorable ae-
ton. The maternity bill passed the
Senate but did not reach the floor of
the House, although it did receive
favorable action by the House COM
mittee. The same is true with the
extension of rehabilitation of disabled
soldiers act. The same is true of
the packers bill and the cold stor-
age act.
"A glance over the work Of the
closing session OF the Goth Congress
will convince anyone that II was a
very successful session, marked by
an enormous amount of work.

IROQUOIS INDIANS BALK
AT CANADIAN OWNERSHIP

Syracuse, N. Y, March Height
thousand six hundred of the Iro-
quois OF the Six Nations are seeking
q home.
Back in 1777 their forefathers
elected to fight with the British
against the colonists. In payment
they were given $4,000 acres of land
in Ontario. Indians from this tract
fought against America in 1912.
Now the Canadian government has
ordered the inhabitants Of the tract
to accept citizenship. This the In
dams refuse to do.
Chief George Nash, courier OF the
Canadian, Indians, has appealed to
DR.. Fri A. Batee, of Syracuse, to in
tercede with President Harding for
an asylum for them in the reserva-
tions of New York state.
David Hill. Indian commissioner
of the Onondagos says that reserva-
lions in New York are now over
crowded. He thinks there is little
prospect of President Harding
granting the request of the Canadian
Indians.

CALDER EXPLAINS BILL

Washington, March 19.-Senator
William NJ. Calder, whose coal bill
has been reported favorably to the
Senate, has this to say of his effort
to protect fuel purchasers:
"My coal bill is not designed to
bring about Government operation of
the coal mines. 1t is a simple coal
regulation bill which requires every
one engaged in the coal business, both
operator and dealer, to file with the
Federal Trade Commission at regu-
lar intervals a statement of the bu-
siness done by the corporation or in
dividual, the amount of coal pro-
duced, to whom sold, and the mar
gin of profit. 1t levies a tax upon
the coal dealer who sells to another
dealer. The purpose of this provi-
sion is to drive coal direct from the
producer to the consumer. Public
utilities and manufacturing plants
buy their coal in the main directly
from the operators, but the house
holders coal usually passes thru sew
sral hands before it reaches its final
destination. The householder has no
one to look after him, and, in my
opinion, the tax on the wholesalers
profits would result in reduction of
the price to the consumer. The bill
also provides that the President may
take over the coal business whenever
an emergency arises. Operators in
sist that this means in the end per-
manent governmental control, and
others contend that in case of an
brought about by a la
Dor controversy, the Army will be
used to move coal. For my part, l
am strongly in favor of the power be-
ing placed in the Presidents hands
to protect the public interests in an

except on Sundays and holidays, and
wines may be sold in restaurants and

complaint in the far northern part Of
Canada because the volstead law pro-
hibits liquor from being transported

and that is the only route by which
II can be secured.

AID TO CHINESE
BY SELF DENIAL

Instead of observing self denial
week as a means of raising money
for the 46,00O,O00 inhabitants of the
famine area in north Central China,
the pupils of the Pine Mountain Set
Element School in Harlan County, will
deny themselves one meal a week for
month, thus saving seventeen cents
on each meal. Through this saving
they already have sent $4,000 to the
China Famine Fund Louisville. This
is the gist of a letter from Mrs. Eth
ell belong Zande, received yester--
day by the Rev. DR.. E. Y. Mullins,
of Louisville, chairman of the fund.
DR.. Mullins previously issued an
appeal throughout Kentucky for the
observance of a week of self denial
by the omission from each meal of
some little food luxury and the mon
ey thus saved to be donated to the
Chinese.
Mrs. zande is member of the exc
cutive committee of the Pine Noun
tain School, Her letter in part fol-
lows:
81 want to tell you how heartily
our children are carrying out their
plan-they voted unanimously to
have famine rations one day week
and their comments are something
like this, a"Last week, / weren't nary
bit hungry at supper time"
"One old grandmother in the
neighborhood told me how she had
coaxed her granddaughter, who is a
day pupil in our school, to eat an
extra breakfast and take more at sup
per time, but Elsie replied, why,
granny, can hardly eat at all, think
ing of those little Chinese children
at is touching when we realize
how little our children really have
aud how willing they are to sacri-
flee that little. The children plan
now to carry this campaign Of din
nerless Fridays through the month
of March and are rejoicing in the
numbers of Chinese they can feed
thru this saving Of seventeen cents
day on each meal"
The funds for the starving Chinese
which Is being raised in Kentucky is
gradually growing larger as checks
are being received at headquarters
from all parts of the State. Last
week." said DR.. Mullins on his re-
turn from a weeks trip In the south
in interest of the China Famine Fund,
II was surprised to note the en-
couraging returns as the result Of
self-denial week" The Executive
Committee he said realized that ev-
cry church and Sunday School could
not observe this week for many had
previously taken the offering and
others necessarily had to postpone the
collections for this fund to a later
date. but the response was liberal
and general. Really some surpris-
ing collections have been taken in the
small churches and church organi-
cations. The State Executive Com
mittee is delighted with the response
to the appeal which they have made.
DR.. Mullins said further that 1t is

noble sentiments He used to speak
of his height to every tall man he

BETS ARE EXCELLENT FEED
Because of Labor in Harvesting and
Cost of Handling Are Not as
Cheap as Siage.

Sugar beets are an excellent feed
for dairy cows, but because of the
labor in harvesting and the expense of
handling, are net as economical as corn
silage. They have a larger amount of
nutriment than. mangels or rutabagas.
but it is generally held that the latter
will yield somewhat more per acre
and are less difficult to handle. Sugar
beets are not hard on the kidneys, but
if fed in too large quantities there is
tendency to scour the animals. This
is due to the high sugar content of
the beet.
