DISEASE GERMS.
(By FRANK SCHMIDT.)
Disease germs are harmful and
should be destroyed. Disease geruii
make people sick and often cans
them to die. These germs are abou
us on every hand. They may be in
the air, In our food, or in the water
we drink.
We can avoid disease germs by
keeping things sanitary,' by fumiga
tion, by destroying garbage piles, by
keeping our bodies clean and healthy,
and by destroying the germs that
come from the bodies of the sick. '
Many diseases we get from germs
are: Colds, tetanus, catarrh, in-
fiuenzza, tonsillitis, bronchitis, dyp
theria, whooping cough, chicken poxj
scarlet fever, and measles.
About the year 1800 vaccination
began to be practiced and smallpox
at once began to decline. Where it
is thoroughly carried out, smallpox
has almost ceased to exist but where
people are not vaccinated very much
it is still impossible to prevent the
spread of disease germs. Vaccina
tion is almost a perfect protection
against smallpox germs. Edward
Janner in 1797 discovered vaccination.
Disease germs produce a toxin in'
the body, the body works up an anti
toxin to destroy the toxin and save
i antitoxin from the blood of a horse,
i When a person is attacked by dip-
weria some or me antitoxin from a
horse is injected into the body. This
does not kill the dlptheria germs, but
destroys their toxin and saves the
cells from being poisoned until the
body can kill out the germs, and stop
the disease. It is very important
that the antitoxin be given in the
early stages of dlptheria,' for after
the toxin has poisoned the cells of
the nervous system, kidneys, and
heart great damage has been done,
and it is not possible to undo it. An
titoxin is useful in all stages of the
disease, however, and should always
be used. It is also very useful in pre
venting dlptheria and when a person
has been exposed to the' germs a dose
of antitoxin is often given to prevent
the development of the disease:
An antitoxin for Tetanus is pre
pared from the blood of the horse but
it has not proved very valuable in
curing the disease except when used
in the early stages and in large doses.
It Is very valuable, however, in pre
venting the disease and when a per
son has received a wound that is like
ly to bring on tetanus a dose of the
antitoxin should be given. When this
is done the disease is almost certain
to be prevented.
There wouldn't be half so many
diseases if the people would destroy

The public meeting for the conser
vation of food was largely attended
and all felt that our country was in
volved in a world famine of food
HoVever. this Bection has done its
oart when acreage of grain is con-
sidered and the climatic conditions
still remain favorable.
The local hop that was so success
fully pulled off last Saturday in the
Cecil Hall proved the greatest m at
tendance and afforded more pleasure
to those who participated than any
former event. Outside of train and
usual team service, some 30 cars did
their share in bringing hither the
happy people who so well contributed
to the evening s success. ueorge u.

chestra of the Bowker people did not
appear on this occasion as two of
them were stranded while enroute
from Madras overland to Cecil. It
is now well known that Cecil is the
favorite place for as oclal hop
Wherefore the inference? The answer
is found in hall equipment for light
and ventilation, with a good floor,
the best of music and a supply of
eatables that meets the exigency of
the hour. The proprietor, Mr. Lowe,
has spared no expense in supplying
the needed improvements in his hall.
