The germs are contained in the

Dr. carrier" is a source of contagion
until two negative cultures have
been obtained. This means that
two specimens from the throat or
nose have been examined at least
one day apart, and have been found
free from the diphtheria germs on
both occasions. This usually occurs
within two weeks.
, The disease is spread by the pa
tient, infected articles (toys, etc.,,
and b. carriers" "A carrier" is a
person who carries the germ in his
throat long after he has had the dis
ease, or often when he has never had
received the germ from some one
but, not being susceptible to the dis.
ease it has never developed, though
the germ remains in the throat. He
is then unsupported and perfectly in
nocent source of contagion.
Because of the danger of carriers
and mild, unrecognized cases, in
any instance where case of diph-
iberia has developed in. family,
institution, or school, every person
who has been exposed should have
an examination of the throat ana
nose. ~
A valuable means of determining
ones immunity to diphtheria is
found in what is known as the
Schick test. This consists of in
iecting into the skin small amount
of diphtheria toxin. If the subject
is immune. no reaction occurs. If
he is susceptible. small red spot
appears where the injection was
made. remains about six to ten days
and disappears gradually, leaving
brownish spot which may be seen
for months. There are usually no
constitutional symptoms and no
Pain.
BY means of this test it is possible
o decide which persons are sus-
ceptible to the disease, and these
can he immunized by antitoxin. The
procedure is applicable to institu-
tions where diphtheria has been re-
peatedly prevalent, Sand the object
of immunjzation is to prevent pos
sihle outbreak of the disease. In
this case toxin antitoxin should be
used.
1t is well for parents to know that
child's susceptibility to diphtheria
is increased by the presence in the
throat of adenoids and enlarged
tonsiis.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

City Should Eliminate These Conditions
 Mr. Editor: Will you kindly allow me
 space in your paper for a little article
 in behalf of our City Beautiful?n
 l am a resident of Laurel Hill avenue
 and twice every day I pass up and down
 the avenue on foot to my business in the center. Year after year there is allowed growth of weeds, bushes and small trees to grow so close to the fence 1 that ladies' dresses are stained and spoiled by the weeds when wet by fog or rain, and the overhanging branches i of trees dripping waetr, have ruined many suits of clothes and dresses. This condition obtains from the bridge to River avenue and one of the most scenic sections of roads approaching our city is made hideous, and unclean, by Lhese 1 conditions There are many cities in our state that if they were blessed with 1 such a view as can be obtained from the avenue, would advertise it far and near
 as an attraction. It is a valuable asset
 to our town, and should get the best of
 care, for "a thing of beauty is joy 1 forever

t was one day last week that Tom came to grief.
 During his daily stroll that evening he met with cat having long bushy tail and a stripe down It's back. It was new one to Tom, but he concluded the stranger needed lesson for tres passing on his territory. and Tom waded in. He fought well in his old fashioned way, but modern warfare with dts cam oufiaged batteries and poison gases was new to Tom, and he was forced back on his base of supplies, where it re- quired three hours of scrnbhtng and lib eral application of altar of roses before Tom was presentable for polite com pany.

FAMOUS NICKNAMEs
1.-THE wHITE-coATED PHILoso-
 PIER


 PIER
 Horace Greeley was one of the most picturesque, yet one of the most remark able men of the past century His career reads like a romance. Born in poverty on farm in New Hampshire, he learned the printing trade in Vermont, where he read the library of East Poultney dry. Finally out of jo and on the tramp he arrived in New York and eventually be- came the best known editor in the coun- try. He >took to featuring, was elected to congress, was an opponent of slavery, was nominated for president against Grant, and died during the same month of his defeat, the canvass having been tee severe physical strain.
 Greeley received his nickname of ''rhe White Coated Philosopherr because of his preference for a white linen duster. which he wore with great regularity. One trait of his character was his careless ness in dress. Even when boy this was noticeable. He was often laughed at be- cause of his poor clothes, and pitied, be- caused slender and pale as he was, he never wore an evercoat; but he used to say: I'd better wear my old clothes than run in debt for new ones"
 Greeley usually accompanied his white linen duster with a white hat of a peculiar Quaker shape. One of his friends said 1 of his attire: Although the white hat /, and coat of earlier traditions fitted his temperament and complexion he did not make them perennial. He often wore darker clothes and sometimes a \blaek crash hat. His cdothing was of fine tex ture, but it was generally worn free and loose; some would say thrown on But if one-half of his collar retreated from sight, or his round leather watch-eerd took a subterranean leave of the surface over which it should flow. he would not notice the revolt from order.
 l But beneath the white duster Greeley had a great heart. The poor, the sick, the despised and the unfortunate never ap- 1 pealed to him in vain. A lover of his 1 country, when the war was over he plead ed as earnestly for justice to the South as he had labored for the North when the Civil war was one.
 Aside from his dress Greeley was one of the most democratic of men. One one occasion he wrote: Above all, be neither afraid or ashamed of honest in dustry; and if you catch yourself fancy ing anything more respectable than this be ashamed of it to the last day of your life. Or if you find yourself shaking more cordially the hand of your cousin the congressman, than of your uncle, the blacksmith, as such write yourself down as the enemy of the principles of our in stitutiens, and a traitor to the dignity oi Humanity"
 Hon. Thomas L. James. former post. master general of the United States, who was a personal friend and admirer of the great editor, gives the following descrip' tion of his personal appearance upon one occasion after he had become famous: "I recall seeing him cross Broadway and the descriptions widely circulated

I caught just a glimpse of him. but I saw that familiar. cheery, kindly expression upon his face, and I under 1 stand then, better than did at Hamilton 1 or Saratoga, how he became a notable figure by reason of his eccentricitiHs of person.
 Nothing pleased Greeley more than to learn that his enemy of yesterday was his friend of today. He could fight and forgive and forget Though a reformer
 by nature he happily avoided the spirit l which seeks victory rather than truth.

 that he never crucified an adversary on

Action of a character which serves to present the organization of railroad trainmen in the proper light is that which has been taken by It's vice presi- dent in removing from office a general chairman, three local chairmen and eight officers of subordinate lodges be- cause of the part which they played in the planning and carrying out Of that abandonment of train on the Santa Fe road which left the passengers stranded far from any community without food and water. q
 The idea of those who had any part in this scheme was to help the strike of the shopmen. Thep hoyed to create the impression that the rolling stock of the railroads was in dangerous condi- tion to the travelling public, but the "discovery" of that condition at such an isolated place and a refusal to move the train further proved a boomerang. In stead of renecting upon the railroad and creating sympathy for the strikers fl proved to be a severe indictment of that element in organized labor which is pre- pared to go to any length to accomplish it's purpose. Such was clearly apparent to the heads of the organization and the removal of the offending officials, ol those held to have part in the plot was necessary that the many should no' be obliged to shoulder the conduct of. ths few. There was nothing the brother hood could do but rspudiate such actions in a prompt and. effective manner.
 What was done there is in keeping with the action which has been takeI by the president of the street railwa, employees association in revoking tn charter of the Boston & WoreesteI street railway employees because thei walkout is held to be an outlaw striix and one Which the association canno countenance or support
 Organized labor has suffered by tn presence within it's ranke of just sucl radicals, and when there are such quiel steps taken to repudiate them it canno fail to have it's good effect upon the ob serving public T. Is needed to offset tn harm that would otherwise be done.
