Because of the prevalence of

every precaution to pfevcn, the
spread of the disease into this
State. No disease can he success

an intelligent interest in the matter
can bc created among the people at

iberia in Oklahoma. we must en-
list the interest and co-opcration of
the mothers and teachers of the

Depending upon the way 1t is
treated. diphtheria is one of the
least dangerous. or one of the most
dangerous of diseases. II Is one of
the least dangerous when promptly
treated with antitoxin; 1t is one of
the most dangerous when the anti
toxin treatment Is delayed or not
given. OF all the deaths of children
of 3 and 4 years Of age, more than
onc-seventh are caused by diphtheria.
Most Of the children who lose their
lives by diphthcria. die because of
the ignorance and carclessncss of
their parents.

called diphtheria bacillus The dis

taken for Group. In all cases of
sore throat or Group. send for Il doc

Infected milk is Il carrier of diph-

disease may be traced to this source.
The disease is also spread by peO-
pie who harbor the germs in their
throats. in adrnoids or tonsils. in
, their noses or dccayed teeth. Diph-
