runs - the Hill - the famous climb
from Roseville over the Sierra.
1t all happened on April 6, 1e44-

front page news. Tug was riding in the
cab of one of those AC type locomo-

down through the Sierra with 65 cars
full of fighting stuff for Macarthur

Little Billie had been playing all
morning in the sandbox out in back
OF the house.
But at about 10 o'clock, Janet Wor-
tell made discovery. Young William
was not in the sandbox. In fact, he was
nowhere to be found.
Two minutes later Janet's mother
saw him-across the gully-playing
in the very center of the railroad

The rest happened so fast that :.
Well, anyway, Janet rushed down the
orchard, over the railroad fence, ami

THE SEC Is HELPFUL

Many bankers and corporation Of
ficials like to throw mud at the
Securities and Exchange Commis-
sion who at times are very slow
and provoking. On the other hand.
I am certain that they are honest
and that their intentions are OF the
best. Their difficulty is that they
are biting off more than they can
chew" and are perhaps suffering
from a bad case of indigestion. The
cure for this is for them to trust
more details 10 the judgment OF
those needing their approvals.
The Securities and Exchange
Commission is certainly doing much
for investors in connection with
investment trusts. Some years ago
some CT the investment trusts did
very wicked things. Insiders loaded
them up with securities which they
knew were no good. and purchased
from them for themselves securities
which they felt were valuable and
would 90 up in price. Of course,
this was very wrong but it has all
been stopped by the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Investment
trusts are now watched almost as
carefully as are state banks.

AVOID SWITCHES

As soon as a person buys an in
vestment trust stock and it goes up
in price. CT scme other stock goes
down. the salesman will come
around and want you 10 switch in
order for him to get another COM
mission. There are hundred diff
ferent good investment trusts and
these salesmen watch them all with
the eye OF a hawk If they find one
that yields a trifle more or shows
a little more rapid appreciation,
they NAV advise you to sell what
YOU have and switch into this other
Investment trust stock They fail to
tell you that the slight increase in
yield or appreciation may be but
temporary. Also that what they
switch you into has probably gone
up as much or more than what they
want you TO sell.

LOADING CHARGES

In order to get this diversifica-

usually take a commission of 4
of ! per cent plus the cost Of super
vision. They, in turn, usually allow
? per cent tc the wholesalers plus
5 per cent to the retailers from
whom they buy the investment trust
stock. This means that there usual
" IS a loading charge of about ~
per cent, equivalent to about s75
per $1,000, which is included in the
price OF the stock.
If you will be content to buy the
stock and hold it, this loading
charge is net unreasonable: but II

simple, harmless treatment SO eff
fective that even mild attack is
unlikely to occur. All children,
when they are 3 to 8 months old
and certainly before the end of
the first year, should be immuni-
zed. The treatments are easily and
quickly given. It takes few
months for the protection to de-
velop. Any child who entered
school or kindergarten this year
without this safeguard should be
given protection Immediately. The
family physician will give diphteria
immunization, or local health de-
partments will immunize children
free.
Last year in Mississippi there
were $40 cases of diphteria reported,
with "a deaths. This is a grave in
dictment against indifference or

ignorance, for it can be safely said
that had all these victims been pro-
tected through immunization none
at most very few, of those cases
would have developed. Already in
this year Mississippi has had 1913
cases of diphtheria, and at this
season when colds and respiratory
diseases are prevalent it stands to
reason that even more children
will develop diphtheria-and some
will die of it.
In the hands of parents lies Jar
gely the control of diphtheria. Ply
sicians and public health officials
are ready to provide this protec-
ton, but unless parents assume
their share of responsibility unnec-
essary deaths from diphtheria will
continue.

From The State
Health Officer

Now that cold weather has ar
rived, the peak of the polio season
is passed. So far this year III cas-
es of poliomyelitis have been re-
ported in this state, with only
few additional ones anticipated
While this is considerably higher
than the usual 40 to 60 cases, Mis-
sissippi is fortunate in having es-
capped a polio epidemic such as that
experienced in nearby North Caro-
lima and Kentucky where victims
numbered up in the hundreds.
Cooperation of physicians in
promptly reporting and isolating
cases has doubtless done much to
keep infantile paralysis to mini
mum. Those stricken with the di-
sease were rushed to the state DO
lilo clinic where they received the
Kenny treatment When the clinic
became filled to capacity, volunteer
workmen quickly constructed
20 bed temporary building, SO that
all cases seeking admittance could
be cared for. With the 1914 polio
situation well in hand, already the
crippled children's service, nation
al foundation chapters, and health
officials have plans under way to
combat whatever the next season
may bring.

No parent would let his child
strave to death as long as food
could be obtained. Why then,
should not parents be aroused to
the needless loss of child's life
when protection against diphtheria
is available at all times-and free
at that.
A great killer of little children,
especially those under S years of
age, diphtheria is nevertheless the
easiest of all serious diseases to
prevent. Parents can have their
children immunized against it by
