Diphtheria has begun its annual
march upon children, according to re-
ports received by the state health de-
partment. In July, 90 cases were re-
ported and this number doubled in
August.
Last year there were It's cases on
record for August and the number
gradually increased to 1852 for Octo-
Der after the opening of schools. In
cities where the children are crowded,
there are more cases in. proportion
than there are in fhe country districts.

upon the skin, Is being widely~u used
to determine whether or not school
children will take diphtherla II ex-

When a Belington man returns

WISE ADVICE

TT WAS Publius Syrus who said.
= Look for q tough wedge for q
rough log''-wise' and sound advice.
Men prosper better who suit their
tools to the Job. 1t is foolish to drive
nails with sledge hammer. Or to try
to drive piles with 4 mallet.
The first uses up twenty times a.
much energy as Is necessary; the sec
Ond accomplishes nothing.
When you see In legislature or Q
political meeting an orator tearing
the air into tatters over very small
and unlmportant matter. you feel that
he Ia using a sledge hammer to drive
q nail.
When you see man In an Office
employing three times the energy
necessary to do very small and un-
important Job. you know that he IL do
Ing the same thing.
Save your important weapons for
important battles. Don't hunt rabbits
with machine guns.
II you have big task to do. bend
to It all your energies. Use the big
gest weapons you have.
But on the little Jobs save your en-
ergy.
We have seen legislators who made
motions to adjourn rs II they were en-
gnged In \ debate over the fute Of the
nation. We have known architects
who planned as elaborately for the
construction Of a one-car garage a.
better architects would plan for sky
scraper.
Neither got much but ridiculs for
his efforts.
Save your energies for the big Jobs
that will come. You will need them
all then-all your thought. all your
effort. all your skill.
For the little jobs use Just enough
Of these to do them well-d"n't skimp
,hem-but don't over-do on them.
You hnve n mental tool chest which
you will soon learn how to employ
wisely. Make careful selections be-
fore you do your work. and It will be
done better and with less expense Of
time and energy.
