customs, Wilmington, now a branch |
of that at Philadelphia, will retire
from office next October 4, his 10th |
birthday anniversary after having |
served 21 years. He was appointed |
deputy collector and inspector follow
ing the death of Peter B. Ayers, Rob |
ert G. Houston, present Congressman
being collector at that time. When
John Titus retired as special deputy
in 1911 Mr.. Jones succeeded him, and
two years later, when the port of Will
mington was officially made a part of
that of Philadelphia, he became de-
putty collector in charge of this office.
At that time the number of ports of
entry in the United States was re-
duced from $50 to 48. During the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1913, the
duties paid amounted to $4,000; dur
ing the fiscal year ending last June
30, the total was a little more than
$306,000. During the previous fiscal
year it was $4,000. In wartime re
ceipts had fallen off several years, so
that it took half of the income to pay
salaries. 1t is probable Mr.. Jones
will be succeeded by a Delawarean,
and that a Civil Service examination
will be held in few weeks. The only
employe of the Wilmington office
there when Mr.. Jones went there in
1904 is William Chandler, inspector.
Crystal Beach, on Elk River, ia

Gus highway from the Delaware

Dandrufy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick,
beautiful. glossy, silky hair, do by

1t will starve your hair and ruin
1t If you don't.
! 1t doesn't do much good to try
to brush or wash it out The only
/ sure way to get rid Of dandruff
is to dissolve it, then you destroy
1t entirely. To do this, get about
! four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when re-
| firing; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
! finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
I dandruf viii be gone, and two or three
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single sign

! You will find, too. that all itching and
! digging Of the scalp will stop, and your

No More Diphtheria.

All of the nurses in Durand Hospital
OF the John Mccormick Institute for
Infectious Diseases in Chicago have
been immunized against diphtheria.
Every nurse has been tested for sus-
ceptibility to the disease by the test
called the Schick test: every prospec-
tive nurse is SO tested and immunized
II found susceptible to diphtheria.
The Schick test consists of injecting
into. not through nor under the skin,
one-fiftieth of the minimum lethal
dose of diphtheria toxin for $50
gram (about Il pound) guinea pig.
This minute dose Is first diluted with
several drops of normal salt solution.
IL the individual Is immune to diph-
iberia no reaction is observed; If the
Individual is not immune and there
fore presumably susceptible, redness
appears gradually at the site of the
Injection and remains as a hive-like e
spot for two or three days. The re-
action depends on the amount of anti
toxin which is present in the indi-
viduars blood, and every one of US
who is not susceptible to diphtheria
has more or less antitoxin in his
blood. How come? Old DR.. Nature
manufactures 1t for US If he didn't,
most of us would succumb to diph-
iberia When one has diphtheria the
DiOOu pSBl1S lHc llleHSlN6 pTOUuC-
tfon of antltoXin as soon as the first
waves of toxin are thrown into the
blood stream from the focus of in
fection. If the toxin is not produced
by the diphtheria germs in too great
quantities, the blood may keep up
with the demand, antidoting every
unit of toxin the germs throw out
with a unit of antitoXin, and the pa
t4ent makes a natural recovery. But
If the germs get the jump on the
blood, so TO speak, and produce diph-
iberia toxin (toXin means poison)
faster than the blood can produce the
necessary neutralizing antitoxin, then
the patient is doomed unless a sup
ply of antitoXin can be found ready
made for him. Now II that isn't per-
fectly clear and the plainest horse
sense--I beg your pardon, please go
round to my other ear. Oh, yes. to be
sure, where do we get the antitoXin
when some must be borrowed to save
a life? Why, 1t doesn't matter much
where. If a kind friend who has re-
covered from diphtheria within 4 few
years Will contribute a pint or so of
his blood, 1T will do, though it is not
q very concentrated antitoXin we can
yet In that way. Or If the kind friend
is a horse, we can treat him we'll and
train him as an expert or rather a
specialist in the manufacture of anti
toxin, and most antitoxin is contrib
uted by our friend the horse

more the absurdity of most Of the
superstitions of uneducated folk
about the effects of antitoxin and the
revolving cruelty that too often grows
out of such errors. I retain no more
narrowing impression from a rather
checkered career in private and hos-
pital practice than the memory of
wistful little child being poisoned to
death by inches because her misin-
formed, headstrong father refused to
permit the use of the antidote--for
you see, the pan had been told that
some other child who had received
antitoxin was mot bright"
But let US rejoin the ladies, as they
say after dinner, in the best books
on etiquette. By means of the Schick
test and toxin antitoxin immuniza-
tion the diphtheria rate among nurses
at Durand Hospital has been reduced
from 13 to 0.53 per cent. In that
hospital the very best modern princi-
Piles of asepsis are used. This stamp
ing out of the diphtheria menace is
therefore a signal triumph for the
scientific purpose and common sense
of antidoting diphtheria with anti
toxin.

of skunk cabbage correspond TO

to Jack himself. Along the spadix,
densely crowded, are the inconspic-

Only a little way the skunk cab

in which 1t grows. Most of the
spathe remains underground, close to
the thick rootstocks. Only when
spring is mere TO stay 90 tne mowers

leaves shoot up and gracefully un-

ripens, the whole heavy spadix thick

deeply embedded.
Do not, then, wholly scorn the poor
skunk cabbage. 1t may not be a
pleasure to pick 1t, but 1t is really
a handsome thing. left in it's native

Ihere are many reasons for taking

Thls naturally is a prime reason, and
for whatever other cause baths are
INDUCED in, this one should never be
given minor consideration. When we
stop to think, however, we soon real
lie that many elements beneficial,
curative and enjoyable, enter into ac-
count. For instance, baths may be
taken purely for invigoration. They
may be employed to soothe and rest
the nerves, which is exactly the re-

taken for the purpose of reducing
