PREPAREDNESS
A Timely Article from the State
Department of Health

what happened in Alaska last
week, when children and grown-ups-
but particularly children-were
stricken with diphtheria, and when
the entire country waited each day
for news of the heroic progress
through the Attic storms and biz
yards, of the dog-teams that were
carrying the much-needed anti-toxin
to diphtheria stricken Nome, could
just as easily ha&e happened in
Maryland, if anti-toxin were not al
ways readily available" said DR.. R.
H. Riley, Chief of the Bureau of
Communicable Diseases, of the State
Department of Health, in speaking of
the methods now used in the control
of diphtheria.
"But with this exception-the
Maryland State Department of
Health, has placed supplies of anti
toxin for the treatment of diphtheria,
at centers that are conveniently ac-
cessible to every local Health Officer
and to every physician in the state
The Department believes in prepared
ness.
Through this arrangement there
is no place in the counties that is
more than two and a half hours dis
tant from one of these supply CEN
tiers. You can better understand
what that signifies when you think
of the one hundred and twenty-seven
hours over five days-that were re-
quired to get the anti-toxin to Nome,
and then only by the most strenuous,
sef-sacriticing work of the most
skilful dog-team drivers in the whole
Of Alaska.
"The anti-toXin that was carried to
Nome was used in two ways-cura-
tive and preventive. It was admin
istered in large quantities-units, as
they are called-to those already i'll
with the disease, to counterfeit the
effects Of the toxins or poisons gener-
ated throughout the body by the
diphtheria germ. 1t was also used in
smaller quantities as a preventive,
to persons who had been in contact
with the disease.
"Similar procedures are followed in
Maryland whenever a case of diph-
liberia occurs, but we are going even
a step farther. Since children are
particularly susceptible to the dis
ease, and since a way has been found
by which they can be permanently
immuned against diphtheria-that is
protected from attacks by the diph-
liberia germ-we are advising parents
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1925-02-12

Of their parents. The anti-toxin that
is used in treating the disease, and
in protecting persons who have been
exposed to it, is supplied to physi-
clans, by the State Department of
Health, at the actual cost of the ma
terial. The price that is paid by the
patient will of course include the doc
tors fee for his services, in addition
to the charge for the anti-toxin.
Before the discovery of anti-toxin,
one out of every three persons who
contracted the disease, died. Some
times, in severe epidemics there were
two deaths for every three cases.
Now, the number is much less, one
death for every IA cases, in the coun-
ties of Maryland, with the possibility
of a greater reduction in both sick
ness and death when vaccination
against the disease is generally
adopted.

z Up to 1914 the United States indus
trial development was so intense and
rapid that the various phases of in

would have roasted foreign-born

THO nothing officially can be no

horse-play among American "Babitt-
ry' is the order of the day. The
crux of these boycotts, takes place in
the smaller communities where the
Babitts make it their business to know
the affairs of each other. Protestant
cockroach businessmen of the three
ks variety are boycotting catholic
and Jewish small-town merchants and
they in turn retaliate. Some leases
are never renewed and in some towns
the streets are painted with such
words as ''Kigy," or aka" and cay
ak" Kigy means "klansman. l. greet

man?" Aka means "a klansman

must not permit this poison to re-
tard, even for moment the forward
march to Communism.
The French revolution--the very ex-
preston of Industrial capitalism's
coming of age cold-storaged the
witches of medieval religious and rae
ial prejudice temporarily. The cap
italist state became the concilliator
between the budding businessmen
who needed stability and the church
which was becoming too clumsy to
minister the new state.
A convenient wedlock, however, be-
tween church and state--each party
to the contract maintaining their own
home but living amicably together
was affected. This wedlock is now
successfully operating in most west
ern democracies. To bring the war to
the people, the almighty on high and
the state, have worked hand in glove.
