NEW YORK, July 29.-Trends of

Prevention Of Diphtheria
By H. E. LEVIN, M. D.,Askov, MINI.

For the consideration of readers of
the Askov American / am writing
concerning the prevention of diph-
iberia. Looking back over a period
of twenty or thirty years many of us
can recall to mind those who had
this dreaded disease. There were
many who died from it, whole house
holds were afflicted with it. How we
feared the outcome when the dag
nosis was once made. But all this has
taken change, we are no longer
hopeless nor are we so depressed as
to the final outcome of the sick one.
If diphtheria is evident we have a
specific and sovereign remedy in a
serum called anti-toxin The serum
is procured from the horse which
has previously been inoculated by the
poisonous germs and made immune.
Anti-toXin is curative if given repeat
eddy and early. Anti-toxin is a pre-
tentative but it's use for this purpose
is very limited as its immunizing
effect runs out or ceases after a
short while-say or 10 weeks. For
temporary immunization in afflicted
households or institutions, where
diphtheria exists, l use it always to
protect the rest of the people in the
house. Hence it's use as a preventa-
tive is limited.
To prevent diphtheria for period
of years is very possible by use of toxin
anti-toxin administered often enough
to immunize you against the disease
until you become Schick test negative
The Schick test, so called from the
doctor that first used it, is skin test
applied to the skin. If an inflamma-
ton or redness starts, you are liable
to contract the disease. If there is no
skin reaction after applying the
Schick test you are naturally i'm
mune to the disease. By applying
this test first one can positively de-
termine if you are liable to carry or
develop the disease. Prevention or
immunization is strongly recommend
ed and after first finding out whether
you are susceptible by the use of the
Schick test. Then the repeated in
jections of toxin anti-toxin until you
become Schick test negative is all
there is to the positive protection
from diphtheria. Especially is this
recommended for school children who
mingle with others from different
homes. Gin time of peace, prepare for
war;" and ian ounce of prevention is
worth more than a pound of cure"
Respectfully submitted for your
readers careful consideration.

A HAPPY DAY

There is an old saying, misery
loves company. But it should not be
necessary for any of us to see others
at near hand who are in worse cir
cumstances than we are, in order to
have something to be thankful for
on this Thanksgiving day. All we
need to do is read a little history to
be more appreciative of the many
blessings and privileges that the
individual enjoys today. Who would
care to go back to the day when a
person was tortured to the extent of
being crippled or perhaps killed out
right because he had crossed the
path of some half-witted high
mucky-muck' or not followed out his
orders to the letter? The world is not
perfect yet, and there is much to fight
for to improve it, but we are living
in day and age when the improve
ments can be done much more easily
and without so much fear of bodily
harm. When we have the ambition
and our cause is right-and we go
about it in a civil manner-we will
get a hearing, but to sit down and
whine and give up will get us nothing.
Yes, truly this is great age we
are living in and we have ever so
much to be thankful for

UNLIGHTED VEHICLES DEADLY

Another bad accident occurred on
the highway near Fairmont last
Tuesday night. A man driving a
team hitched to a wagon was driving
without the sign of light in front
or behind. An auto driver struck the
outfit headon. Both drivers were
badly injured and one horse was
nearly killed. The machine and
wagon were wrecked. The driver of
the horses was pinned beneath the
wagon as it went over into the ditch.
One of his eyes was nearly gouged
from it's socket. 1t all happened be-
cause the driver of the wagon in
sisted on driving without lights.

EQUAL PROTECTION

A farm relief measure is still a
national topic and will continue to
be such until some adequate measure
is adopted. Financing of an export
corporation handling surplus crops by
the treasury, in place of fund built
up by the controversial equalization
fee as proposed by the McNary- Haul
gen bill, is advocated by Senator
Brookhart, Republican, of Iowa. Mr..
Brookhart said that the group of
Western Independent Republican SEN
ators of which he is one, would sup
port such a proposition.
Further Senator Brookhart said:
Some of our groups are opposed to
the equalization fee as unconstitu-
tional, but none of them is opposed
to- direct appropriation if it can
be obtained"
Likely with reference to the in
dustrial East being favored Senator
Brookhart said few more words
with broad meaning: unless this
is done for the benefit of agriculture,
the farmers of the United States have
already reached that state of mind
to demand protection for all, or pro-
lection for none'."

CHRISTMAS SEALS A
HELP TO HEALTH
Mrs. E. B. Linsley, Willow River,
Chairman of County OrganiZa-
ton i'm Charge of Sale.-LOcal
Managers in Various Com
munities.

Every citizen of Pine county will
be given a chance to do his bit in
supporting anti-tuberculosis and
health work during 1928, according
to plans now being made for the an
nual sale of Christmas Seals.
The sale will be sponsored by the
County Public Health Association,
unit of the Minnesota Public Health
Association and the National Tubercu-
losis Association. Officers are: Pres
ident, Mrs. E. B. Linsley, Willow
River; secretary, Mrs. Emma Gum
Perkins, Pine City.
Headed by Mrs. E. B. Linsley, who
has been appointed county director,
arrangements are under way for a
campaign which will give everyone
an opportunity to buy the penny
health stamps. Local managers who
will direct the sale in their own
communities, are as follows: L. c..
Petersen, Askov; Miss Ethel Amelia
Carlson, Beroun; w. K. Norris, Bruno;
G. A. Boardman, Brook Park; Otto
Hack, Jr., Cloverton; Miss A. D. Oh
son, Denham; T. H. Street, Finlayson;
Mrs. F. c. Bigelow, Hinckley; H. A.
Kappes, Henriette; w. P. Hogan, Ker-
rick; George Lehner, Markville;
Mrs. Emma Gum Perkins, Pine City;
A. P. Keefe, Pokegama; Miss Anna C.
Dosey, Rock Creek; S. G. Skaaland,
Sandstone; Mrs. M. L. Anderson, Will
low River.
These workers who form a part of
Minnesota's 10000 Christmas Seal
volunteers, are giving their time
gratis.
In the rural districts the sale will
be in charge of the schools, which
are being offered health awards for
reaching their quotas.
Picturing Santa Claus carrying the
gift of health to all, the tuberculosis
seal this year is particularly at
tractive. Colorful posters and win
dow cards, repeating the design of
the seal, are ready for distribution.
The double-barred cross, information
al insignia of the fight against tuber-
culosis, has a prominent place on
both seals and the posters.
1.-THE seals this year are pretty
enough to sell on their own merits,
without the appeal of the wonderful
work they make possible, said the
county chairman, in describing them.
