In the field of medicine it has been
| found that very high percentage of
| children and youths in the teen age
are susceptible to diptheria, very few
being naturally immune to the disease.
| However, they can acquire immunity
| by taking the toXin-antitoXin treat
| ment. Figuring on the old basis that
IAN ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure, this community has
, taken the right step and Sunday morn
| ing some forty-one or two children
| were given the first of three injec-
| tions of antitOXin. Practically all of
| the children in town will have the
| test This will be followed up in
| four or five months with the Schick
test to see if any have failed to be-
come immune. DR.. Pearson is giving
the test and says that at RUSSELL
Mimi, he once gave the test to 400
and there was only one case which
was doubtful, after having taken the
antitOXin treatment. DR.. Pearson will
start another class in the spring
when the roads and weather con-
ditiOns will permit country children
to avail themselves of this Opportun-
ity to acquire life long immunity to
the dreadful disease of diptheria.

At the meeting of the COmmunitg
club next Monday night, there will
be two special numbers on the pro-
gram, which we feel sure will be
well worth going to hear. One is
the reading of one act play by Mrs.
T.. H. Street, the other talk by Miss
Ruth ByOrk on her girlhOOd in India.
Miss Byork was born in India,
where her father was missionary,
and lived there until about fifteen
years of age. There is TO be the an
nual election of officers also at the
club meeting, so everyone should turn
out if possible
