SAVE CHILD FROM
 DREAD MALADY
State Health Bulletin Gives Timely Warning How to
 Fight Diphtheria
TAKE TIME BY FORELOCK

The medical profession is accom- plishing very satisfactory results among children with the use of Toxotd, which is now recommended instead of toxin -antitoxin. With the new serum there is no reason why diphtheria should not become almost a thing of the past as a malady among children. Have you ever seen a child die of diphtheria? If you have 1t is safe to state that you nev- CT want to be a witness to another.
 The current issue of the Connecti- cut Health Bulletin carries a long article on Toxoid, one paragraph of which should be borne in mind by families who are raising children. It is as follows:
 Give toxoid at early age. The best time to immunize children against diphtheria is as soon as prac- ticable after they reach the age of six months. At this age. or in fact, at any age up until the time they en- ter school. the use of toxoid is very simple. There is no need for a reac- tion test aind all that is necessary is to give them two doses a month apart. It is important to immunize children early because diphtheria is more dangerous to very young chill dren than to old ones. More than one fourth of the cases reported during the past few years and over half the deaths from diphhteria occur under five years of age. In fact over three per cent of the cases and seven per cent of the deaths occur under one year of age. Immunity developed from the administration of toxoid may be expected to last many years, probably for life. Because of the special hazard of diphtheria to young children it is believed advisable to organize diphtheria immunization campaigns with view to reaching as many children before school age as possible"

PRESENT REGIME OF REPUBLICANS
 UNDISTURBED
Senator Watson Left the White House and Stated Fess Will Head Commit= tee for the Present

Washington, March 31-OP)-- The existing regime in the repubIi- can national committee will be kept intact for the time being, Republican Senate Leader James E. Watson an- nounced to-day after a breakfast conference with President Hoover.
 Watson said there was a general agreement among party leaders that politics is adjourned until fall and that there is no need of political ac- tivity now.
 Congress adjourned in order that the country could have a rest" Wat son said. Why should We trouble the country now with politics?
 "The campaign is more than a year and a half away and congress will not convene for eight months."
 The statement was made in re- sponse to agitation here last week in favor of an early change of party management in preparation for the 1882 campaign. Chairman Simeon F'ess of the Republican National committee is known to be serving in temporary capacity. Some repub- lican leaders here thought Fess should be replaced soon with a mili- ganization for the strenuous days of the campaign.
 Watson's statement that no change will be made now will carry to party officials the authenticity of executive approval, because of the manner in which it was made.
 It is understood MT Hoover de- sires Fess to continue at the helm of the party on through the summer months. The effect of the decision will be to delay, but not ultimately to interfere with, the plan to replace the Ohioan.
 Watson said the financial condi- tion of the government was not dis cussed at the breakfast conference. He said he intended to discuss the matter later with Secretary of Treas ury Mellon.

Judges reputation will be disparged
because of vitiating assertions occur
ing in the Producers News.
1t is useless to go into details re-
garding the apprehension of the three
thieves mentioned in that article, but
a summary is necessary. The men who
made the arrest were trucking veget-
ables to these parts and were ap-
preached by one of the three thieves
to haul shot beef" These men notified
the sheriff who deputized them. Cat
tie had been missing in these parts
and the apprehended thieves and 9TH
ers were suspected of rustling. Which
is the logical thing for a loyal offic-
er to do, to avail himself of the best
means of catching the guilty and free
the innocent of suspicion or to wait
as Mr.. Taylor advocates till the Grim
inal either gets tired of his erring
ways or voluntarily gives himself UP?
Further, these men had the choice of
being bound over to the next term of
district court or to plead guilty. They
were wise in not delaying their de-
parture by waiting for a jury verdict
which inevitably would have spelled
much longer terms. Mr.. Taylor's mo-
tives by assuming advocacy for these
scoundrals were namely to have had
them bound over to district court,
where it would have created a tre-
mendous expense for the county, and
then made another of his eloquent
editorials berating the officials for
their remiss.
Oh! 1t would have been an exceed
ingly wonderful topic for a muck-ra-
kers' platform for the next years pol
itical campaign.
The sheriff and the honorable
Judge are deserving of the highest
praise for the expediency in which
these three culprits were apprehend-
ed and placed where such belong.
The various individuals throughout
tn county who have subjected to Mr..
Taylor's ~scurrilous attacks have
shown their wonderful good sense by
not paying the slightest heed to those
infamous articles, but all honorable
men whose honor is muck-raked by
virus of a demagogue grieves over
such injustice even though he remain
ed silent.
Two of the numerous individuals
who have been treated to considerable
publicity through the columns Of the
of the Producers News, are Mr.. Sor-
EN- and F. Ibsen, whom it has been
my privilege to know quite well.
Their honor and integrity is above re-
proach. From the contents of the
various articles that have appeared in
the Producers News, one could easily
deduoe they were men who belonged
to Mr.. Taylor's class and belonged be-
hind the bars. So in other words any
private citizen whose reputation goes
groveling in the columns of the Pro-
ducers News may consider himself
fortunate since it is almost equal to
an indelible stamp of decency.
An editor who takes his personal
grudges to his newspaper, and voices
them in vituperative language in the
columns of his paper has demonstrat-
ed his Wanted abilities as editor OF
whatever else he may lay claim to be.

DECLARES CITY
IS FLAT BROKE

CHICAGO, May 10. WP)-The
financial condition of Chicago and
Cook county became SO acute today
that bankers and politicians plead
ed with each other to figure some
way out quickly before we all col
lapse together
While Is bankers were meeting
last night with County Treasurer
McDonough and informing him that
they had done absolutely all they
could" Mayor Anton j. Cermak was
telling a group of politicians that
the city really was broke" and that
something had to be done at once.
Conditions are SO bad" the ma
yor said, that I wish the newspa-
pers would quit talking about 1t
until we can find way OUT
Cermak said every possible effort
was being made to reduce city ex-
penditures. but that legislation
would be necessary to remedy the
situation permanently.
The Is bankers were called by
Treasurer McDonough in the hope
they might again lend the county
money and tide It over as they had
done on former occasions when

MIDWEST HEAT
WAVE BROKEN BY
COOLING SHOWERS

CHICAGO. May 19. UP)-Wide-
spread showers and cooling winds
today ended summers first heat
wave after temperatures in many
mid-western cities had climbed to
their highest mark thus far for
1881.
A maximum of Sc degrees was
reached yesterday in Chicago, while
in Springfield, ILL.,, the mercury
climbed to 80 and in numerous
other cities marks of 90 or higher
were recorded unofficially.
The death of Gerald A. Swaine,
So, in Kansas City was attributed
directly to the heat.
In many cities, including Chica-
go, beaches took on their first real
show of life this season and many
persons actually went into the wat
er. They all came right back out
again.
Throughout the mid-western and
southwestern farming areas, the
heat wave was acclaimed as decid-
edly beneficial. The combination
of heat followed by rain, then mod
crate weather today, was said to
have helped growing crops to the
extent of thousands of dollars.
While the midwest was having its
heat wave yesterday, temperatures
in the Rocky mountain section were
comparatively low and at Denver
there was rain, hail and some snow.

WARNING,
GIVEN TO
BANKERS
Labor Leader Protests
Against Any Reduction
In Wages.
POINTS OUT EVILS
Green Declares Another
Winter OF UnemplOy-
ment Is Dangerous.

HOUSTON, Tex, May 10. U.P)-
Continuing his vigorous campaign
against wage cuts, William Green,
president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, warned today that
banking interests which are fore
ing reductions and those employers
who are responding to this harm
ful influence, must accept RESPONSE
bility for q continuation OF the
existing unemployment situation"
Green said wage cutting already
has produced most unfavorable
economic effect" that bad as con-
ditions have been and are 1T will
be infinitely worse II the nation is
forced to pass through another WIN
ter of unemployment and added,
dramatically:
Hunger knows no law. 1t Gre
ates unrest which, In turn produces
grave disorder When such a stage
is reached public opinion will not
fail to hold wage cutting influences
responsible for the suffering and
distress which millions OF men,
women and children are forced TO
undergo"
Speaking before the convention
OF the Brotherhood OF Railroad
trainmen, Green called upon work
ers las a solemn duty" to "resist
with all the power they possess the
attempt of these banking interests
who are seeking to enforce reduc-
tions in wages.
In order TO save employers and
save industry from the evil conse-
quences which are bound to follow
such a course. American labor will
stand uncompromising and immov-
able against all attempts to lower
living standards through the I'm
position of reductions in wages.
Green blamed group of powerful
banking and financial leaders for
an attempt to cut wages generally,
which he said some refer to as a
conspiracy
Manufacturers Menaced
Unemployment continues: buy
ing lags. social unrest is increas-
ing: human distress is becoming
more acute" he said.
Green said reports have reached
him that some bankers have re-
fused to extend credit to manufac-
turers unless they reduced wages,
which, he said. 'is coercion of a
most reprehensible character"
Representatives of labor, he said,
see as evidence of move for a
general reduction of wages recent
statements by Albert II. Wiggin, Of
Chase National Bank; George E.
Roberts. National City Bank; Mel
vim A. Traylor, First National Bank,
Chicago. and representatives Of the
Union Trust Company. Cleveland.
He said President Hoover, Secre-
tary of Treasury Mellon, other
members of the cabinet, and larger
employers of labor such as James
A. Farrell. United States Steel cor
poration, Gerald Swope, president
of General Electric, many railroad
executives and others are insisting
upon keeping UP the wage level.
