well thereby saving untold suffering.
When this method was first tried it
was thought that it was necessary to
find out whether or not child would
be likely to take diphtheria-that is,
was susceptible to it-before immuniz-
ing against it. The susceptibility test
was first tried out by an Austrian
physician, DR.. Bella Schick, and it was
accordingly named after him, the
Schick test. But the studies that have
been made since then of large groups
of children have shown that practi-
cally all young children, beginning
with. babies six months old, are sus-
ceptible, so it is no longer regarded as
necessary to have the preliminary test
made
"What is done is to give a child 3
NEGOTIATIONS, each week apart, of
the toxin-antitoxin. Then a follow-up
test is given six months afterwards to
be sure that the child is really pro-

"The State Department of Health
has supply stations scattered through
the counties at which both the anti
toxin for curing the disease, and the
toxin antitoXin for preventing it, may
be obtained by physicians or health
officers. The protective dose is fur
nished free tine curative dose, at cost.
parents who wish to have their
children protected from the disease
should go to the family doctor, or to
the county health officer, to have it
done.
"Since the newer ways of controll-
ing diphtheria have been used in
Maryland, we have had only half as
many cases of the disease and less
than half as many deaths. In 1921,
five years ago, there were 1857 cases
of diphtheria with 92 deaths, in the
counties. In 1925 there were 613
cases with 40 deaths. We could stamp
out diptheria completely if parents
would have their children protected
against it and would join with the
State Department of Health and the
county health officers in the fight
against it.

chicago, OCT. l.-tAo).
Sharp rallies from an early decline
took place in the wheat market today.
Spectators bought on a liberal scale,
influenced a good deal by reports that
storms of late in Canada had caused
loss of as much as 50,000.000 bushels
of wheat. Closing quotations on wheat
were firm, to 1c net higher, with corn
unchanged to &c off, oats s@5c to &c
up, and provisions varying from 25c
down to shade advance.
At first the wheat market here was
affected chiefly by indications of clear
ing weather in Canada and by conse-
quent hopes of a better outlook for
speeding up the movement of wheat.
the time being in export demand for
North American wheat acted also as a
temporary weight on values and so,
likewise, did railroad advices that
farmers southwest are planting thous-
sands of acres more wheat than last
fall Later news from Canada did
much, however. to alter prevailing
trade sentiment.
According to some of the talk which
went around. recent storm damage has
been such that the Canadian wheat
crop will have to be handled with
pitchforks. except over limited area
flour business in Minneapolis was alss
a late stimulus to wheat buyers. Fur

To Add Series of
Pulpit Editorials
At Baptist Church

After repeated requests from his
pensioners Pastor Leopold H. r.
Hass of the First Baptist Church has
agreed to add a series of Pulpit Edi-
Iorlals to his other duties. Last year
ano again this Fall he was asked to
interpret current events from the
Snnstian point Of view, as distinct
from the commercial or political or
even propagandist point of view Of
newspapers and magazines. They
Ielt the need of the Christian en-
pnasls on daily problems, even though
sucn matters seldom enter into the
regular sermons. He promises a four
minute talk on What Should Be The
christian Attitude Towards the
mexican Church Quarrel for tomor-
low evening before the sermon. The
ulnacplty OF being definite without
ssatagonlzing many hearers has kept

Mrs. A. NJ. Reynolds, Thursday. They
made the trip by auto from Unity.
The girls athletic teams are now
in full swing. With a tennis tourna-

team it loo'-s as though girls sports
were to be as popular as the boys
games.
: The football team had a scrimmage
with the Colby tenn Thursday after
noon. Coburn showed up well
against the college boys. If this
speed is kept up through the season
Coburn may well expect great things
of her team.
Thayer Hall is full to it's capacity.
vver 40 boys are now living there.
1t is expected that If the popularity
of the school continues to grow that
a new dormitory will have to be built
in the near future.

A game with Notre Dame has been
arranged by manager Maynes for to-

R0CKLAND and ELM
CITY TO CHRISTEN
new FIELD TODAY

The finishing touches have been ap-
piled to the surface of the new high
school athletic field and the goal posts
duly erected for the game today be-
tween Waterville High and Rockland.
The field is in first class condition
and the virgin earth today will be
trampled for the first time by spiked
shoes. The contest will be a good one,
fast one--nay, fierce one The local
boys are resolved to dedicate the new
field with something more than more
Grafton. Victory will mean much to
the boys today, so they are fully de-
termined to sweat and fight for it.
The parade, headed by the school
band playing inspiring strains. which
will form at senior high, march
through the business section and
thence to the scene Of battle will fire
the boys with high resolve and in
cidentally lure the fans to the joust-
ing place.
A banner attendance is expected for
many reasons. First. the streak of fine
weather we've been having is expected
to continue until Sunday, at least.
Then there's the fact that Waterville
High is always popular and can usual
ly be depended on to draw a big turn
out. And again, many will pilot them
selves across the new North street
bridge to see the new field, but recent
