SCARLET FEVER SERUM
 SHOWS GREAT RESULTS
American Medical Assn. Finds Dochez Treatment
 Very Effective
By The Associated Press.

Chicago, Jan. 31-Remarkable re~ suits, even with severe and compu- cated cases of scarlet fever as indi- cated in dispatch from Hartford, Conn.,, Thursday night, have been obtained by the use of the Dochez serum, the American Medical asso- citation announced today.
 The results as found by Dr. F. c. Blake of New Haven, Conn.,, must be checked up, however, according to Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the Medical Association. The association gave out this state ment:
 'On January 2S, Dr. F. G. Blake presented to the Connecticut League For Nursing Education the results obtained in treating scarlet fever with the Dochez serum. The facts are:
 "Thirty-four uncomplicated cases treated on or before the third day, showed no symptoms of scarlet fever. One of these was extremely toxic and unconscious, three were very toxic and IS were moderately severe cases; 12 were mild cases. Three of these patients had mild complications later. Ten patients without complications treated after the fourth day seemed to recover within IS to 36 hours.
 Nine patients with complications, treated before the third day, were all convalescent within IS to 4S hours. One of these was very se- were and six were moderately se- were. Out of 19 patients with com plications treated after the fourth day, one with meningitis cleared up in 4S hours: one with general sepsis died, one with typhoid recovered, and the remaining patients recov- cred"
 The serum used was that of Dr. Alphonse F. Dochez, medical investi- gator in New York city, formerly of the staff of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.
 Presumably a strong serum was used in the cases reported. accord ing to Dr. Tishbein, whose records showed that while the general death rate among children afflicted with scarlet fever is from six to eight per cent, in the complicated cases the death rate is as high as IS per cent. In the cases observed by Dr. Blake there was only one death in 28 cases with complications. and that death occurred among the 19 pa tients who were not treated until after the fourth day.
 Scarlet fever is a disease known to have existed hundreds of years, and the Blake report is the first to show such gerum results according to the medical association authori- tiaa

NEW ORCHESTRA
IN EMPIRE
OPENING
Raymond Griffith in Fast
Comedy Features Film
Program.

The Empire swung into a new week
Saturday with a poppy show equally
featuring the film program and the
brand new orchestra which just ar
rived from New York for four
weeks engagement at the Empire. 1t
is fast working bunch of musicians
and they earn their billing, Broadway
Merrymakers." The title of their in
itial offering is "The Streets of New
York." in which they present some
novel music, running the gamut Of
New York neighborhoods and typical
music from Blocker street to Broad
way. without skipping an avenue.
That the comedy path is not beat
en- track after all and that nimble
brains can evolve brand new ideas is
proven in Hes a Prince the latest
Raymond Griffith comedy which heads
the Empire film program.
Hes a Prince" takes the audience
into the home of royalty and proves
that the son of royalty does not lead
an altogether happy or dull existence
with the constant demands upon him
for what is known in screendom as
personal appearances at all times
and at all manner of events.
In desperation he goes to his faith
er, the king and serves notice he is
either going to quit his Prince job or
else take a vacation. The king laughs
the idea off, telling him he cannot
even escape from the palace grounds
BE is just about out of the palace
when he is swept in again in the
midst of a crowd of Cooks tourists.
A bright idea comes to him and he
manages to have the tourists elected
from the palace. concealing himself in
the midst of them to be sure he if
thrown out.
And that is but the beginning. The
rest of the action of Hes a Prince
is equally is absurd and quite "a
funny. Griffith is an able comedian
and puts over this one in his best
style.
