mo DIpHTHERIA BY
1890" IS new SLOGAN

"No 1iphtherla lby 1902 This
is slogan worth working for. Every
physician, every father and mother,
and every one interested in health
work amongst children, should strive
to completely stamp out diphtheria.
It would seem that this is not irnposs>
ible, since the discovery and perfec-
tion of a treatment to protect children
from taking diphtheria.
Diphtheria can be prevented. This
can be done by administering three
injections of toxin -antitoxin mixture.
Toxin-antitoxin is harmless sub
stance that creates high degree of
resistance to the disease. On exposure
to diphtheria following toxin-antitox-
in injections one is not likely to con-
tract the disease.
The Schick test is test to deter
mine whether one is immune to diph-
liberia or not. "A small quantity of tox-
in is injected in the skin of the arm
in this test. If the person is not I'M
mune there will be a local reaction,
indicating susceptibility to the disease.
Practically all very small children
and most children up to the age of
ten years of age are susceptible to
diphtheria. Every child less than ten
years Of age should be protected a.
gainst diphtheria by injections of tox-
in-antltoxin. If all children were i'm
munized at the age of one year there
would be practically no deaths from
diphtheria. Older children and adults
may first be tested with the Schick
test. If they are inmurfe they need
not receive the toxin-antitoxin treat
ment. If they are not immune this
treatment should be given. The State
Department of Health or your own
physician will be glad to answer fur
thr inquiries.
If desired this treatment will be
given in White Bluffs, beginning the
last week of November or first week
of December. The cost of the treat
ment will be forty-two cents per child
for the toxin and anti-toxln, plus
$1.50 physicians fee for administering
the three injections.
a special rate of one dollar for ad-
ministering has bsen granted where
two or more children are in the same
family.
Please notify the following COM
mittee if you are interested in having
this treatment fer your child.

JURY FINDS WOMAN GUILTY

A jury of nine men and three women
Tuesday night brought in verdict of
guilty of first degree murder against
Mrs. Azltonia Susan, after deliberatins
four hours. The jury did not recon-
mend the death penalty.
The state charged Mrs. Susan with
the murder of her husband on their
kennewick ranch several months ago.
Mrs. Susan maintained that horse
kicked Susan in the head, causing his
death.
Officers caused a sensation Tuesday
10y testifying that Mrs. Susan had
told them soon after her arrest that
she had killed her husband with big
knife"
AS the jury did not recommend the
death penalty, Mrs. Susan will likely
be sentenced to life imprisonment.

hauser's case is criterion it is not
so bad at all, at all. Since he entered
that role a few weeks ago when his
better half went over to the Yakima
valley to pack apples, ]. B. has had a
hard time keeping up with his dinner
engagements. First it was dinner
at the T. M. Browns, followed by one

intended for shipment to Seattle. There
was no train out Tuesday morning this
week and ]. B. merely agreed to care
for them until train time Wednesday

necessary because some of his good

and three lost. iowa, having played
one less game. has five victories and
three defeats. but could probably fiIl-
ish at or near the top by winning her
four remaining games.
There is strong probability that each
OF the present leaders will suffer at
least one defeat In their next four
games. On this basis q team with
only three defeats would find itself out
in front at the end OF the season.
There are no Soft spots on any OF
the leaders schedule. Michigan,

BASKET BALL
By sol, MFTZGER

In the newly formed North.
western Conference last year,
Yenney. whitman's star center,
was a star in scoring with the one
hand short shot. His method is a
good one to follow. Yenney made
his leap of the left foot and kicked
upward with his right in order to
get height. His idea OF shooting
was to grasp the bail with both
hands as he leaped. AS he went
up he would hold it with his right
hand, kick down with his right leg
and merely push the ball against
the blackboard. so 1t would rebc ~
into the basket.
Two points are stressed In max
ing this shot. The first Is to push
the ball on the line from the eyes
to the point on the blackboard you
wish it, to strike. The other Is to
select this point approximately IL
Inches above the rim of the basket
and a bit to the right. The diagrams
above the illustration show the
ang:rs used in scoring with this
