THE CONSTITUTIONS:
BOOK OF THE WEEK

Despite the lip service paid to
the Constitution, it seems to re-
ceive very little use outside of high
school civicS classes.
AS a result, misconceptions con-
corning it are widespread 1t is
often thought of as the law that
governs us" when it Is, in fact, the
law that governs our rulers.
The Constitution is the contract
we have with our government, TO
whom we have delegated a few
limited powers. A reading of the
Constitution indicates the found
iTg fathers clearly intended that
this would limit the government to
certain specific functions, and no
more.
The tenth amendment says,
THE powers not delegated to the
United States by the Constitution,
nor prohibited by it to the states
are reserved to the states respec-
lively, or to the people"
In other words, any powers not
specifically delegated to the fed
eral government are automatically
outside of its province.
PURPOSE
1t is readily apparent that the
authors of the Constitution were
far more anxious to prevent gov
ornamental tyranny than they we're
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1963-01-10

on certain matters - foreign COM
merce, coming money, etc. 1t also
grants Congress the power to lay
and collect taxes in order ito pay
the debts and provide for the COM
mon defense and general welfare
of the United States" Since that
particular paragraph deals with
taxing powers, it could hardly be
construed as permission for Con-
gress to pass laws on any matter it
happens to consider the general
welfare.
READ 1T

ton produces many surprises and

than a meal cooked and eaten

She suggests keeping a picnic

"Most people don't seem to
realize that one shot of tetanus

immunity. Complete protection
demands recurrent immuniza-

The need for continued pro-

ability of tetanus to sort

wounding, can also trigger the
growth of tetanus bacteria In
internal organs where spores
can be carried by the blood
stream from the site of a wound.
Immunity against tetanus is
initiated by a series of three
shots spaced out over eight
weeks and followed by a booster
dose within six to twelve
months. This immunity is then
maintained by booster doses
every five years, and a similar
booster dose after any in
jury that might cause tetanus.

be injected into the living tissue
of the body. This can be ac-
complished by a cut, scrape,
scratch or even something as
minute as an insect sting :
things people usually don't see
physician about.
Usually the spore IS flushed
out of a free-bleeding wound.
But when there is little bleed
ing, as In puncture or crush
ing wounds, or when dirt or
dead tissue within wound keeps
blood away from tetanus spores,
then the seeds may hatch into
the tetanus bacteria, which grow
and liberate their poison.
There are two agents In this
poison, both Of which are prob
ably necessary If the bacteria
are to begin their destructive
infection. One, tetanolysis, has
the ability to break down red
blood cells, thus insulating the
bacteria and allowing them to
multiply.
Tetanospasmin, the 9th er
chemical in the poison, attacks
the nerve centers causing con-
vulSionS and muscular SpasmS :
some so severe that victims
have been known to fracture
their own vertebra. Teta-
noSpaSmin Is of such potency
that a thin coating on a pin
point would be enough to cause
several deaths.
Usually the first nerves to
show evidence that tetanus toxin
IS at work are those Of the head
and neck, and particularly the
chewing muscles. These turn
rigid through spasm and give
the disease its familiar name.
once the toxin has entered the
nervous system, tetanus is
largely out of reach of medicine.
So, 1t becomes the physicians
task to prevent the toxin from
ever getting that far.
Medicine has two weapons to
guard against tetanus. One, an
anti-toxin, is capable of
neutralizing the deadly by
products Of the tetanuS bac-
terra once they have sprung to
life within the body. The other,
tetanus toxiod, works some
thing like a vaccine, stimulating
the body into defending itself
against tetanus.
The anti-toxin was discovered
first, and was used extensively
during World War l. It saved
many thousands of lives, for the
long cultivated and heavily
manured fields of Flanders we're
found to have a particularly
heavy concentration Of tetanus
spores.
The anti-toxin, however, has
one serious drawback. Animal
serum IS used In its manu-
facture, and some people are
literally deadly allergic to
animal serum. Therefore, anti
toxin is employed only as an
emergency measure and only
after a PERSONS sensitivity to
serum has been determined.
Far more preferable is
tetanus toxiod. It rarely pro-
duces dangerous side effects
and, when injected like a vac
cine, has protection already es-
tablished should tetanus spores
subsequently enter the body.
World War II offered the best
proof of the value of tetanus
toxoid. Of the 100000 Ameri-
cnas who were wounded in action
only one developed tetanus. The
situation was far different in the
japanese and German armies
which continued to rely on the
anti-toxin. Thousands of Axis
soldiers died because they could
not be given the anti-toxin In
time.
'fDespite the almost complete
protection against tetanus Of
fered by immunization, the dis
