STATE PROBE REVEALS FAT
 SHERIFF FEES
Texas Law Officers Grew Rich on Multiple. 6
 Mileage"

Austin, Texas.-UP)-Fat fees for Texas sheriffs have been re- vealed by state investigation of claims against the state for their payment.
 Chief fee producer for the sher- ifs has been collection of multi pie mileage" The practice, once held lawful by the court of civil appeals, has been banned by a su- preme court decision.
 Hundreds of thousands of dol- lars were collected under it before the ruling. a. .-
 As explained at a trial connected with the cases, the multiple mile- age system works this way:
 A man is indicted 12 times for bootlegging. The sheriff makes one trip to arrest him. Then the sheriff turns in fee claim for ar- resting him in each of the cases. It includes charges of mileage for the distance travelled, 12 times, though the trip was made but once.
 It is possible for a sheriff to travel over GOO miles in a straight line in Texas without crossing the state line.
 Summoning the same witnesses repeatedly is another method that has produced fat fees. No court ruling either for or against this has been found. It has been allowed in some courts. Others bar it.
 In a recent trial 1t was testified the same witnesses were collected upon as summoned for two terms of court. But the sheriff's fee claim put them>living in different directions and at different dis tances from the courthouse each time. It was testified one summons Is sufficient. Later attendance can be enforced by mail notice.

By DIR MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and of
 Hygeia. the Health Magazine

Hygeia. the Health Magazine One of the most important fac ] tors in the spread of diphtheria is the presence of what are known as diphtheria carriers. These un- fortunate individuals sometimes aftor having the disease and some times without even having mani fested the symptoms, but by being in association with patient-get ..the germs into their throats and thereafter act as sources for distri- button of the ferns to persons who have not resistance and who come down with the disease. Whenever the incidence of diphtheria tends to increase unduly, public health officers are likely to suspect the presence of diphtheria carriers.
 Dr James Grant. an English health officer, studied the incidence of diphtheria in his community and decided as part of his investi- gation to examine the throat of every child who had been in con- tact with case.s Asa result, nine children were found to be suffering from diphtheria at the time of the inspection.
 ]. Out of all of the children ex- amined, 53 were found to be car riers of diphtheria germs. Some of them were found to be carrying diphtheria germs in their threats and others in the nose, and few in both the nose and throat. The children who were carriers were excluded from school and exam lined regularly until they were found to be free of the germs. In this way the epidemic was brought under control and the children who were carrying the germs were freed from being looked on as a menace to their companions. x The treatment of carriers while not very severe is a rather labor ious and difficult task. It has been found that infected tonsils are par ticularly prone to be the place in which the diphtheria organisms are carried.
 Hence removal of the tonsils is done in such cases, and freuent- cases it becomes necessary day aft CT day to swab the throat with mild tincture of iodine and to clean the nose with hydrogen peroxide to. remove the crusts and there after to use mild mercurous oint- ment. It was found that children who carried the diphtheria organ isms In their noses frequently had Atiischarge from the nose and not infreuently enlarged glands in the neck. 4k.a..s

when horses became tired.
A huge crowd is expected to wit
