HOW TO KEEP WELL

Diphtheria, disease that could be
practically wiped out of existence, has
assumed the proportions of an epidem-
ic in Minnesota through the failure OF
many people TO avail themselves of the
Sclentinc weapons available to guard
against 1t, the health committee OF
the Minnesota state Medical ASSocia-
ZION points out in bulletin today.

health committee emphasized IN It's
pulIeIln today. One was that there
is an adequate safeguard against the
| disease and the other that the pro-
| papInJy OF cure Wnen once Cne di-
SeaSe has been contracted is in ulrect
| ratio TO the speed with which treat
ment Is made available.
'Tne etlcacy OF the toXin-antitoXir
method for the prevention of diph-
liberia is beyond all doubt, and along
| with anti-toXin for the cure OF tne
disease, has contributed to the records
| we nave held in diminishing thus al
| fiction, the health commlJJee says.
Examination OF diphtheria rates ir
| larger cities snow that over a period
| of 20 to 25 years following the intro
duction of antitoXin the number o.
fatal cases of this disease steadily
diminished. In recent years it has
been found the fatality rates remain
practically stationary. Delay in CIV
ing antitoXin appears to be the chief
obstacle to further improvement. Sew
eral Investigations have shown that for
those patients who receive antitoxin
on the first day the death rate is less
than one per cent and with each days
delay the rate increases, reaching as
high as Is per cent for cases treated
on the fifth day or after"
The health committee declares that
one reason why deaths continue from
diphtheria is because diphtheria is often
mistaken for an ordinary sore throat

There is an urgent need in health
work to protect the younger genera
ton, the Minnesota State Medical As
ISOLATION states in a bulletin received
today.
Remarkable results have been OBJ
tanned in cutting down the tuberculo-
sis death rate in general" the bulle-
tin states. "a reduction of fifty per
cent has been made in the past 20
years.
However in the teen age and the
early twenties we find no correspond
ing decrease, in fact, but little change
has been made in the death rate
among girls of this group. Minnesota

among boys
Reasons for the alarming prevail
| ence of tuberculosis among young
women and girls given by noted auth
| critics include too great expenditure
/ of energy which is not compensated
| by sufficient rest and sleep. Between
| the ages of Is and 25, the susceptible
| age, girls should be careful to lead as
| healthful, normal lives as possible,
| with long regular hours of rest.
diet fadS are also blamed. Craze
| for a slender figure leads many girl
to voluntarily subject herself to UNI
| ACCOMPLISHMENT. Girls should realize
that little overweight is much safer
| than ten and fifteen pounds under
:. weight, and that substantial, well bal
anced meals including nourishing
breakfast, are essential.
"Other reasons given by authorities
include entrance into industry of large
numbers of girls since the war; too
much night life, fimsy modern dress,
improperly ventilated rooms, STOPPING
posture, excessive cigarette smoking,
tight brassieres, and high heeled

80 CENTS. PER CAR
SNOW FLOWING COST
KEEPING HIGHWAYS OPEN is
SMALL ITEM IN MINNESOTA'S
TOTAL MOTORING BILL-EX-
IRA GAS TAX PAYS THE. BILL.

eff Winter Comes" and brings snow,
$500 men will be ready to open the
trunk highways in Minnesota and
keep them open for travel. To aid in
the work they will have $50 speed
plowS, about 70 tractor plowS and Is
rotaries. The department also has 81
048,000 feet of snow fence to keep
drifts off the roads.
Must cost lot of money? Not as
much as you might think. Only por-
ton of the men are full time en-
ployeS such as mechanics in the dis
trict shops and section men with
truck units who do crawling, blading
and other maintenance work when
there is no snow Most of the main
tenance men work on a part time basis
and many others are simply men sub
ject to emergency call.
What does it cost the motorist? The
total snow fighting bill last winter,
which was unusually severe, averaged
80 cents for each motor vehicle in
Minnesota. The total cost was about
half as much as car owners in the state
spent for radiator solutions. It was
1-600th of states annual motoring bill
Not every motorist paid 80 cents to
the fund. The extra gas tax which
comes in because the highways are
open more than pays the snow removal
bill. Those who do not drive in win
ter pay nothing Those who drive a
lot pay little more than 80 cents.
The department is a little better or
gained and equipped for snow fight
ing than ever before The mainten-
ance equipment on more than half
the system has been motorized, each
section having truck or tractor, to
which he attaches a snow pillow when
needed, and which is used for other
work at other times. In ordinary
snow falls, he should be able to open
his section in a few hours. When
drifts are very deep, the rotaries will
be sent in
Nevertheless, no one should expect
all the roads to be open all the time,
Commissioner G. NJ Babcock warns.
Usually it is futile to do any blowing
during storm, as it piles up ridges
which catch more snow and make
| more work. 1t also wears out men and
equipment. BY waiting until the storm
lets up, the men are fresh when the
big battle begins
Persons planning long trips should
prepare for some hardships, suggests
| highway bulletin. Even if you start
when the sun is shining and the
ground is bare, it is well to carry
chains and a shovel, for snow may
come quickly at this season in Mime
sofa. Machines should be in condi-
ton so they will not be put out of COM
mission by sudden temperature drops
Travellers are urged to carry extra
clothing for emergencies.
The bulletin also advises against
long night trips when there is heavy
snow or signs of an approaching
storm. If car should be stalled, 1t Is
usually much more difficult to get heir
or shelter at night than in the day
time.
