SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

AS@t o~~~@SA~
AIo remedy for any disease
AN exists, which can claim more
consistent and gratifying results
than can antitoxin for diph,
iberia.
Ever since 1895 this serum has
been used so extensively for the
treatment OF the disease. not
only in America but throughout
Europe as well, that no doubt
whatever can possibly exist as
to It's prompt and striking
efficacy. Because of diphtheria
antitoxin the death rate has been
reduced to less than one-third,
and were it used more promptly
certain cases that now prove fatal
would most certainly be saved.
As Health Commissioner Wynne
of New York City put it: "Au-
burn has reduced the death rate
of diphtheria from 3s.4 to zero!'
Similar figures. proving con-
clusively the value. of the treat.
ment, can be gathered anywhere
where records have been kept
concerning mortality percentages
from the disease before and after
the general use of antitoxin.
Perhaps more important still is
the fact that absolute immunity
against diphtheria may be OBJ
tanned by smaller doses of the
so-caIled ''toxin-antitoxin" used
as a preventive!
Imagine! With only three or
four visits to your doctor for
simple and painless skin injection
your children as well as yourself
and other members of the family
can be completely safeguarded
against one of the most terrible
scourges that the human being
falls prey to.
If you have ever gone through
the experience of seeing a be-
loved one, especially child, gasp
ing for air, virtually choking to
death from the diphtheria, mem
branes stuck fast in its throat,
you will readily appreciate what
boon to mankind antitoxin is.
And, yet. there are thousands of
parents who do not know that
such a godsend exists.
Hence, it is necessary that such
an article as this be written, as 1t
is, likewise, necessary that the
public be informed as to the merits
of diphtheria immuniZation by
every means possible.
1t happens that New York city
is waging such a public campaign
right now. In this campaign are
associated the health authorities,
the county medical societies, the
New York Academy of Medicine,
the New York State Charities Aid
Association the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company. the New York
Tuberculosis and Health Associa.
ton, more than II 900 physicians,
newspapers, and a host of other
agencies.
l mention some of these to
show the importance OF such
movement and the high opinion
in which the value of antitoxin is
held.
Quoting DR.. Wynna again: I'VE
cao within two years completely
eliminate diphther:a from New
York city Just as smallpox has
been eliminated. To do that,
first we must educate the public
so that the public will go to their
physicians and demand that they
immunize their chill 1ren. I"
I beg Of you my good parent,
to take this matter OF diphtheria
and its prevention seriously to
heart.
Take your children to your
private physician or to a hog
p:tal clinic and protest tnenl from
diphIheria no mater how youns
they may Be. -

r HAVE been watching some
Il grass grow in my backyard.
1t started TO grow under q
piece of cement The cement was
a stubborn half-inch in thickness
the grass was a green whisper.
The grass was inconceivably frall.
But today the cement is broken in
two and through the crack the
grass lifts strIdy green blades.
That is the greatest lesson in
the power of faith have ever
had.
/ do not mean that the grass
THOUGHT it's way through that
piece of cement or broke the
cement by it's spiritual BELIEF.
But THERE WAS AN URGE
WHICH WOULD NOT BE DE.
MED in those delicate shoots
There was an urge which was
stronger than dynamite
Wn1Cu LISEd1ly UIdSICu away
the obstacles which lay before it
THE URGE OF LIFE
THE WILL TO BE.
We think Of faith as an attitude
of mind
A vague, visionary, dreary wish.
fulnsss-
That's a sick, wish-washy way
to think about faith
That's why more people don't
believe in faith and release its
power in their lives.
Faith isn't a dreamy wishful-
ness
AS gripping as the tingling of
our nerves and the flexing of our
muscles
As powerful as dynamite to
blast away the obstacles which
lie before it.
Grass is grass and men are
men but the same mystery moves
through both the grass and men.
THE MYSTERY OF LIFE
THE WILL TO BE.
The thing that broke its way
through cement for the grass will
break it's way through pain and
poverty and fear and oppression
for a man.

appalling to see young girls de

We who once proudly boasted
that we could "sit on" our hair
were a long. long time succumb-

We remember the long. hot

We remember all the sacred

And we look in astonishment
at the girls who are letting their

that unsightly little knob at the

their becoming youthifying bobs.
The long-haired girl Of the pre-.

graceful headdresses of her time.

Mrs. Florence Bayard Hilles, of Del

Woman's party, to protest against
being classified in the next census as

Speaking over a nationwide hook

Gently announced decision of the
Census Bureau that women who are
housekeepers shall continue to tbe
listed in the census as without occu-
patton, is an indignity to which wo-
men who value themselves and their
work should not submit.
Mrs. Hilles said that while the
work of women in their own homes
is unpaid, it has distinct economic
value.
1.-THE average working time of the
farm woman, according to a recent
survey of the Department of Agricul-
ture, is sixty-three hours week, and
the woman is the most important
factor on the farm Mrs. Hilles
said.
I'm the face of these facts, the
classification given to these women
in the census as being without occu-
patton is an insult. The fact that
women who work in their own homes
submit to this is due principally to

the inferiority complex which is so
hard for many women to shake off,
so long have they been made to re-
gard themselves as the weaker sex.
Tradition hands this down to us,
the church teaches it, and we are
still inferior in the eyes of the law.
according to the law in all our states,
the services of the wife in the home
belong to her husband. This is a
remnant of feudal times. In return
for services, the slave was fed,
housed and clothed, just as the wife
today is thought to give her services
in the home in return for her keep.
"The quickest and best way to get
rid of this and other medieval laws
affecting women is by the passage of
an amendment to our Constitution
providing that men and women shall
have equal rights throughout the
United States and every place sub
ject to it's jurisdiction.
"Women must shake off the infe-
riority complex and insist upon
proper evaluation of their work.
call upon every housewife of this
country not to submit to being listed
as without occupation in the census
soon to be taken, but to write down
without fear or hindrance her posi-
ton as homemaker, one of the most
of all occupations"

that is not responding to the feed
offered her.
Cow testing association records
prove conclusively that high produc-
ers must be good consumers. They
also prove that many heavy con-
sumers may be poor producers.
The time required to weigh milk
and feed according to production is
the excuse commonly offered for not
practicing this in dairy herd man
agement. However, if more feeders
would figure the feed saved, the bet
ter production obtained from the
more efficient cows and small addi-
tional time required to systematic
this work they would find that it
pays high dividends.
The rule generally given for feed
ing is to allow 1 pound of the con-
centrates for each pounds of milk
produced per day by Holsteins,
pound to S1s pounds of milk for
Guernseys and 1 pound to each 8
pounds of milk for Jerseys.
Higher producing cows must be
fed more literally, if their body
condition and milk production are
to be maintained. With Jerseys pro-
ducing over 80 pounds of milk per
day, Guernseys 35 pounds per day
and Holsteins 40 pounds per day it
would be well to increase the allow
ance of concentrates somewhat ov-
er the above recommendations.
