SAVE CHILDREN FROM

But for effort to prevent. diphtheria
scourge. Eighty-flve percent Of its
victims are from among children I'M
der 10 years of age. This season of
the year appears to be favorable to
development Of this disease which
is especially fatal in a cold climate.
Surgeon General Cumming of the
U. S. Public Health Service chal-
lenges parents to save their chill
dren from unnecessary diphtheria.
In a recent bulletin he summarizes
the record of the ravages made by
this dread disease and concludes
that when every father and mother
realizes that there need not be any
diphtheria. diphtheria will cease to
exist"
He tells us There are three lines
of attack for the control of diph-
iberia, namely:
Il. Protection against exposure
to virulent diphtheria germs.
"2. ImmuniZation by toxin
antitoxin of susceptible persons, SO
that If exposed to the disease they
will not contract 1t.
80. Curative treatment, chiefly by
the administration of antitoXin.
"All three of these lines Of attack
must be followed for the most ef-
fective prevention"
Your own private physician or
your local or state board of health
will give your information and as
sistance that you may need in your
effort to protect your own children
and the children OF your COM
munity".

Whatever we may think OF ex-

will conclude that coordination be-
tween the activities Of the bureaus
we have with private business should
be made helpful to all concerned.
This Is what the Department Of
Commerce is endeavoring to brins
about. Recently conference has
been had with various organizations,
such as industrial and commercial
concerns, advertising agencies, eco
nomic foundations and the press.
