DIPETTHEzRIA ANTITOXIN

I told you yesterday that diphth eria antitoxin is not filthy animal mat ter' swarnling with disease, but that it is the pure serum taken from clean young horses which have been inject ed artifcialIly with some diphtheria toxin and so have developed a strong defense and neutralizing product against the poison of diphtheria.
 If a child has diphtheria and recov- CTS from it. it is because the child's stystem has manufactured a defense which has overcome the poisons poured forth from the diphtheria germs which have settled in it's throat. But it is absolutely criminal to take a chance on a child's manu- featuring this defense when we have at hand a defense already manufac- Firms can be licensed to prepare an totoxin only by the U: s. Public Health Service, and all patches of antotoxin are tested by them.
 Death from diphtheria is one of the most frightfu1 modes of death, for the growing membrane leads to literal strangulation. One of the most miraculous and beneficial dis coveries of all ages is that of anti toxin. Since this discovery the death rate from diphtheria has markedly lessened.
 The potency of the antitoxin to combat the poisons is in direct pro- portion to the time it is admins tered. It has been shown that when antitoxin is injected at the first sign of the disease, there are no deaths Oftentimes physicians who are in doubt as to whether a. sore throat is a sore throat or not, will give antitoxin rather than wait until the report from the laboratory can come back

that when antitoxin was given on the first day of diphtheria only approx inlately two per cent. died; the second day about seven per cent, the third day over IT per cent, the fourth day 23 per cent, and the sixth day 36 per cent.
 Antitoxin is, with very rare excep- ttons, absolutely harmless, and the reports you hear of antitoxin causing death are usually those of cases that have received it as a last resort when it has been too late to overcome the poisons of the diphtheria The pa- tients die from diphtheria, not anti toxin.
 Not only does antitoXin save from death the child or adult suffering from diphtheria but, given in inn munizing doses to those who have been exposed in the household, it pre- vents the contraction of the disease.
 It is one of the most striking things in the practice of medicine to see the diphtheretic membrane in a chf1d's throat begin to recede and finally come off and Immediately the symp- toms of poisoning begin to abate. An titoXin is one of the most miraculous preventive and curative agents we have. It has literally saved hun dreds of thousands of lives.
 If animal experimentation had never accomplished anything beyond the discovery and manufacture of diphth eria antitoxin, it would have justified itself.
 If the anti-vivisectionists were suc- cessful in their propaganda they might save few guinea pigs and horses from discomfort, but they would be instrumental in killing many thousands of human beings. That is strong language but it is the truth And if any body of people ever need ed adose of the truth it is the anti vivisectionists

STRONG SLENDER ANKLES


 The pretty ankle is always slender, yet is never too slender. It must appear to do it's share in carrying the weight of the body. If it is too thin to seem to do this it loses all it's at traction. Women who want to reduce their ankles must beware of reducing too much.
 The ankle shape is as important as its slenderness. This means that the leg above it must be well rounded and firm of muscle, otherwise there will be no graceful curve to show where the ankle joins the calf of the leg The woman's figure will terminate in two straight sticks below the hem of her dress.
 In this as in most problems of beauty, we come to the question of health. The woman who has lived a strenuous childhood and who still keeps up her interest in outdoor games is almost sure to be the pos sessor of enviably pretty ankles. She exercises enough to take off surplus fat and to keep the muscles elastic and strong.
 The woman with the real problem is she who possesses thick ankles and no means of lively exercise. She will find that the easiest and best way for her special case is to take some foot and ankle exercises every night and if the bones and muscles seem weak, to bind the ankles during the day with long bias strips of uublea ch- ed muslin. Thos binding is a most effective way of reducing and strengthening the ankles but it is a temporary treatment. The real cure for ankle troubles is exercise
 You will need muslin strips sev- eral yards long. The end of one of these should be passed beneath the

CHAPTER TX (Contfnued)

Politics, Poetry, Powder, PalpitatiOn.
 Sveral thousand people reading the Sentinel at their breakfast tables ask ed:
 "Who the deuce is Bolton?"
 The Mail began answering the ques- tion in the early edition.
 As poetry Mountain Trails'' was a joke, it said.
 WhaIens morning pa per, the Re- public, treated the little book to even more ridicule and abuse, offering a prize of twenty-five dollars for the best criticism of the books. The people were to laugh, Poet Bolton out of political consideration.
 The Sentinel next morning dup1i- cated the Republics offer of a prize for criticisms. In the Republic were three replies one of which was evil dently written in the office
 Criticisms flowed into the Sentinel office fast enough. Ungrammatical, uncouth, they were, but they all thought Mountain Trails" was poetry.
 It was in the midst of this argu- mentation that the Blind Boss was kidnapped At half past eleven at night, three men called at the Burts house and insisted on seeing the boss.
 At Burts's command, the servant left him. When he returned nobody was in the library, the front door was open, and the automobile in which the men had come was gone. He waited up until one o'clock, expecting Burts to return at any minute, then awakened Milly billy.
 She was not worried at first, but when he had not returned at two be- gan telephoning.
 Then Milly billy went to her studio at three and opened the west shut ters whistling shrilly. In the bunga- low a light flared up, and the willow ware man, tying the cord of his bath robe, came to the porch.
 You Lady?'' he said eagerly.
 ''Yes. Can you-wll you come to my house at once-on Brayton street, you know-'
 "I know. In five minutes,' he cried disappearing within
 Milly billy met him at the door.
 ''I am in trouble, or I think I am," she said, leading him into the libra ry. where she told him the story of her fathers disappearance, and what she had done to locate him,
 The willow-ware asked questions of her and the servant who said he heard something being read aloud he closed the library door.
 If Miss Burts will trust this to me-" he said, turning to Mtlly billy, who quite promptly nodded her head, q shall suggest bed and forgetfulness of everything. I am sure MT. Burts would not want this mentioned. es- pecia1ly to the police. In the mean time I will get to work. Good night, or rather good morning."
 "You will find my father?" she asked.
