Kimball Gives Motor
 To Bows at Camp

Camp Keemosahbee, the local Boy Scout camp at Jobs pond, Portland. has been presented with a canoe and an outboard motor by A. G. Kim ball. The canoe is the third at the camp and will be welcome, as canoe trips have been very popular this summer. The motor is provided with attachments which allow it to be used on either a rowboat or canoe.
 Canoeing has been one of the most popular features of camp. The older boys who have passed the strict tests required and are felt to be able to make the trips, have gone on several long water journeys along the Connecticut and up the various tributaries. Leaders have always &C., companied them to give proper su- pervision and there have been no accidents.
 A more humorous side of camp life is the Friday auction sale. Any shirts, ties, bathing suits, or other articles left lying around are seized and held until Friday night, when they must be redeemed for five cents each. If an article is unclaimed, it is auctioned off to the highest bid der. Assistant Camp Director James Beach recently purchased a fine shirt for Is cents and found it fitted perfectly, but he later lost much of his joy at the bargain when he dis covered his own initials on the gar ment and realized he could have claimed it for nickel.
 There are more than 40 boys in camp now and this number is ex- pected to be increased materially with the influx today of those who will spend the last two weeks.

SCARLET FEVER
 SERUM IS READY
Health Officials Hope to CurtaiI
 Disease

A new scarlet fever serum. nov being distributed among Connecticut physicians by the state department of health, is expected to cut inc scarlet fever death rate in the state Iii half and at the same time elim- mate many of the complications fol- lowing the disease, Dr. Stanlty H. Osborn, state commissioner of health said yesterday.
 The distribution of the serum, called scarlet fever streptocus an- titox.n in the health officers bull letin, marks the first time that the state has ever been provided with q scarlet fever antitoxin, the health officer declared.
 The scarlet fever germ was on- ly discovered two or three years ago." Dr. Osborn continued, "and the antitoxin has been in use for perhaps the last twelve months. However, until just recently, no an titoxin strong enough to warrant our distribution has been produced.
 
 than 4,000 scarlet fever cases a year since 1920, of which number from 1 to 21a per cent have proven fatal. In addition to the fatalities. and much more probable, are the result ant complications, such as deafness, abscessed ears and hear conditions" |"
 The chief value of the antitoxin, Dr. Osborn indicated lies in it's im- mediate use in the early stages of the disease. We are not at all cer- tain that it will cure complications resulting from scarlet fever" the physician observed. We do not claim that it will. But we do hope that, taken early, 1t will prevent complications"
 All cases of the disease with bright rash should be treated with antitoxin, Bulletin No. AS says. Tn very mild cases seen on the third or fourtK day, if the rash is clearly fading, antitoxin treatment may be withheld,
 In late cases with fading rash. slight benefit may be expected. With faded rash no benefit may be expected from antitoxin treatment. It follows, therefore. that antitoxin treatment is not indicated in post carlatinal complications when the rash has completely faded.
 With adequate dosage, the bulle- tin continues, the results of antitox- in therapY are striking Treatment should cause within twelve to eight cen hours a marked subjective i'm proVement, critical fall of temper ature and pulse and fading of rash. The disease. Dr, Osborn explained yesterday starts on the increase, year, by year, in October. reaching it's height in December. January.
