First Public Concert
By Wheeler'S Band

The first public concert of the re-
organized Wheeler's band of IS
pieces, was enthusiastically received
at its first public appearance, which
took place Monday night in Music
hall, which was filled to the doors.
Considering the short time the play
ers have been working together. the
work Of the band was of high order,
and it's part Of the program very
pleasing. The work of Mrs. Blanche
Harrington Sampson, reader; Win
fred Chapman, bass soloist; Mrs.
Bertha M. Ham, violinist and Miss
Zilda j. Brown, all local talent, was
all OF a high order and encores were
called for with nearly every number.
Stages and mails from all direc-
tons are again tied up by a snow
storm. though like every other storm
this winter, Franklin county has got
but a taste Of the severity which
other portions of New England have.
About four inches of snow fell here
this time. while reports here are to

Diphtheria may be transmitted in
directly by objects soiled with Sc
cretions containing germs Of the dis
ease, such as toys, lead pencils, and
the like articles; or eating utensils
such as forks, spoons. glasses, cups
etc., or towels, napkins, handker.
chiefs or other articles carried to
the mouth or nose. Every case OF
sore throat should be looked on with
suspicion as 1t may be the beginning
of a case of diphtheria.
The control of diphtheria lies In
two things: first, the early recogni.
ton, the giving of antitoyin prompt
ly and strict quarantine of the in.
fected person; and second, the i'm.
munization of all people, especially
children. The danger to the patient
lies in not giving antitoxin early ir
the disease. not from the effects O!
the antitoxin. The toxin of the dis,
ease. especially effects the nerves
and we have many cases of post
diphtheria paralysis of the throat
and many cases of heart disease are
caused by this disease.
The most important thing is not
In taking care of the disease after
it Is discovered, but in preventing
the disease. The protection given by
the injection of antitoxin lasts but
two or three weeks. In order tt
get a lasting protection or immunity
the body must be induced to make
it's own antitoxin.
Merely talking about these thing:
does not protect. Every parent ha'
duty to perform and is under al
obligation to protect their children
from all communicable diseases. III
diphtheria we know we have sure
protection and we advise parents tc
see their family physician at once
and have the hazard of diphtherie
removed from your family. If this
is done Immediately, it may save
your child's life.

Edward ]. Cook

The community was saddened by
the death of Edward Cook, January

ner following several days illness.
He had experienced much i'll health
during his life time, but with in

worked. Mr.. Cook was born in Yea
zie, on August Z 1869, the son of
Noah and Mary Grover Cook and
came to Warren at the age of 10,
where he secured employment in the
Wooden mill, as weaver. In 1889
he married Alice Wade, daughter of
Otis and Sarah Wade, who has been
a most devoted helpmate, tenderly
caring for his welfare in sickness
and in health. Mr.. Cook was a
18th degree Mason, also a member
of the Ivy chapter o. E. s., and
being of genial mind enjoyed his
lodge meetings. He will be missed
from his lodge gatherings, as well
as by a wide circle of friends made
during his years in town. The fun
eral services were held from his
late home, Tuesday P. NJ, REV. H.
M. burlington, of the Baptist church
officiating. The floral tributes were
beautiful and the large attendance
told of the deep sympathy of fellow
townsmen and friends. The remains
were placed in the receiving tomb to
await burial in the family lot at
Rockville, in the spring.
