ALL MONTANA EMPLOYERS
MUST PAY STATE TAX.

Barclay Craighead, chairman of
the Montana unemployment com
pensation commission, announces
that all employers of labor in Mon
tana are required to pay the state
unemployment fund La per cent OF
their annual payroll. Many en-
ployers, particularly those with small
payrolls, have failed to turn in their
payments which became due July
for the first six months of 1887
Because the federal government col
lects monthly payroll tax for So
cial security benefits, many think
this is the only payroll tax they are
obliged to pay. The state fund Is
built up from. payroll taxes levied
directly upon the Montana EN-.
ployer
Payments to unemployed persons
will begin July |. 1899. BY collect
| ing taxes up to the time benefit:
start, fund will be created which
is designed to provide payments t
all workers who lose their jobs af
ter that date. The purpose of ths
law is to enable workers to carr,
on through periods of enforced idle
ness until new jobs are secured fol
them. The commission has sus
pended penalties so far this year
because 1t wishes to give every EN-
pIoyer the opportunity to make hi
payments and become acquainted
with the law.

NEWER METHODS USED TO
COMBAT THE PNEUMONIAS
Disease Has Occupied 5th Place
in Causes of Death Since 1882

Speaking of seasonal illnesses and
the means used to combat them, DIR.
R. H. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment Of Health, said:
"Pneumonia usually heads the list of
diseases that are matters of concern
to physicians and health officers at
this time of the year.
pneumonia usually flares up" he
continued, Gin the early fall. There
is generally a steady increase in both
cases and deaths until spring and a
steady decline from then on through
out the summer. Very often a neglected
cold, or an attack of influenza opens
the way for the more serious disease
and there is always danger Of it in
connection with measles.
"Since 1882, pneumonia has occupied
the fifth place as a cause of death in
Maryland, and one death out Of every
twelve recorded in the State has been
due to that disease. 1t has been out
ranked as cause of death only by
heart disease, diseases of the kidneys,
cancer and cerebral hemorrhage. Con-
sequently newer methods of treating
this disease that is equally fatal to
young and old, are matters Of great
Importance.
Serum treatment of pneumonia be-
longs to this class, and it has been very
effective for certain kinds of pneumo-
mia, especially if administered early in
the course Of the disease. Before the
serum is administered, laboratory tests
of sputum from the person suspected
of having pneumonia, must be made,
to determine the particular type Of
the disease present. The serum is Of
no use unless it fits a particular tpye
of the disease. Such tests formerly
took a great deal of time. Now, some
of them can be completed within an
hour. And in pneumonia, time is a mat
ter of life or death.
"These newer tests are being made
every day at the laboratories of the
City and State Departments of Health
in Baltimore City and at the branch
laboratories of the State Department
of Health in the counties, for physi-
clans throughout the State, to aid
them in the prompt diagnosis of the
disease. The service is available to
every physician in Maryland.
ut is extremely important that no
time be lost in getting the specimens
of sputum to the laboratories. Speci-
mems should be taken to the laboratory
by messenger; mailing specimens usu-
ally results in the loss of precious
time. Reports are either telephoned as
soon as the laboratory tests are COM
pleted or sent to the physician by the
returning messenger.
Commercial serums for the treat
ment of pneumonia are not yet avail
able for all types of the disease. How
ever, they have been developed and
are available for a few of the most
important types. The serums can be
obtained from some of the drug con-
Germs and the biological supply
houses"
