Jail the rest Of his life. My life

The extent Of alarm felt in ON
cial circles over the Scully staying
was evidenced today BY the elabo-
rate precautions taken to safeguard
the lives Of all persons involved in
the trial. Assistant States Attorney
Hoffman announced that he would
take immediate steps to send his
children out Of the city. and that
he and Mrs. Hoffman will move 10
hotel until the trial II over.
Home Guarded
Double guards were placed at the
Ranieri home. protecting every ap-
proach. Almost at. the time Scully
was being shot down. . special de.
livery letter was received; by Ra-
nieri threatening his life If, he per-
sisted in the prosecution.
= Police guards were given Judge
Gentzel. all state witnesses and
members OF tho prosecuting staff
The precautions against harm were
described as the -most elaborate
ever taken by Chicago police.
The Ranieri case is down In the
police records as the climax to
years Of Mafian extortion which
has kept many Chicasoans OF ST.
Gillian birth in constant fear OF their
lives.
Ten year old Billy was snatched
into an automobile on his way
home from school last September
taken to the country and kept
prisoner 10 days. He was released
shortly after Petitti had been ar

NURSES BATTLING
DISEASE increase
Visits to Patients IL Per Cent
More Than Year AGO

twenty-five new cases of COM
municable diseases were given care
by the Visiting Nurse association
during the past week. In November
the association increased its visits to
patients having communicab bic
diseases ~ per cent over the visits
made in November. 1921 This shows
in part the intensity with which the
need for nursing care for these pa
nents has increased, and the lack of
hospital facilities which makes the
visiting nurse service the only type
OF nursing care available in the city.
Close cooperation between the
health office and the visiting nurse
in maintaining quarantine rcgula-
tons. and in carrying out individual
precautions, has helped to check
the development of many new cases
OF contagious diseases, it is believed.
Diphthcria Preventive
Administration of toxin -antitoxin
as a preventive against diphtheria
is strongly urged. Cases OF diph-
iberia should be as rare as small
pox in communities where there is
compulsory vaccination, the asso-
citation states. Toxin antitoXin can
be secured through the health de-
partment and administered by the
family doctor. In six months time q

you are bound to meet lot of girls

The only thing for you to do, it

Then pick the ones you want and
don't worry about the others. You
can be good friends with all of the
