WHAT IT IS. HOW TO DETECT IT,
AND WHAT TO DO FOR IT.
Dipthena is a dangerous com
municable disease. It is more pre
valent in cold weather than in
summer. This is because it is
highly contagious and because in
winter we lock ourselves up close
in air-tight houses, school-rooms
and churches, where it is ; more
easily transmitted. Diptheria is
caused by a specific germ pro
pagated in the human body. The
disease is harbored in filth and
usually transmitted through air,
water, milk, food, clothing, by
means of playthings, etc.
The disease usually affects the
throat, but it may spread to the
mouth or nose. The first indica
tinns of dinhthena are sore
V V v j- -
throat, loss of appetite, headache,
feverish, hot, dry skin, soreness
and swelling at the angle of the
jaw, and, frequently, profuse se
cretions with offensive odors. A
white coating or membrane in
the back part of the month and
throat is almost positive proof of
diphtheria.
When children evidence some
of the above symptoms, do not
be misled and neglect it as. ordi
nary "sore throat," tonsilitis, or
laryngitis, Find out it by calling
in your family doctor. Failure to
recognize diphtheria early oft
times results fatally or -becomes
the cause of extensive epidemics.
As soon as diptheiia is discover
ed, the health officer should be
advised, in order that he may be
on the alert to forestall an epide
mic among others who have been
exposed.
The generally recognized me
thod of treating diphtheria is by
means of antitoxin. Antitoxin is
also administered in small doses
as a preventive to those who have
been exposed to the disease. The
law requires the State Board of
Health to arrange for the distai
bution of diphtheria antitoxin
from a number of points through
out the State, where physicians
can obtain it without paying the
, outrageous prices charged a few
years ago. Formerly the smallest
dose cost sometimes $2 or $3.
Now it can be obtained through
the State Board of Health for
50 cent3. This is the best price
obtainable from the manufactu
rers, through it really costs only
about 10 cents to make it'. It is
hoped that the next Legislature
will see its way clear to require
the State Board of Health to
make a reliable antitoxin and dis
tribute it free to all cases in the
State. Such action is not only a
a wise business investment, but
innumerable cases, deaths, and
epidemics of diphtheria would be
prevented.
Porto Rico's New Wonder.
From far away Porto Rica
come -reports of a wonderful new
discovery that is believed will
vastly bonefit the people. Ramon
T. Marehan, of Barceloneta,
writes "Dr. King's New Discov
ery is doing splendid work here,
It cured me about five times ter
rible coughs and colds, also mv
brother of a severe cold in his
chest and more than 0 others,
who used it on my advice. We
hop 3 this great medicine will yet
be sold in every drug store in
Poto Rics." For throat and lung
troubles it has no equal. A trial
will convince you of its merit.

specks of flies contain live tuber

tuberculous sputum, showing
that the bacilli will, pass through

bad cases of tonsilitis and other
sore throat as suspected cases of
diptheria. You should be care
ful about catching the breath of
the patient. The patient should
be kept in a room with only such
furniture as is necessary for his
care and comfort. He should not
be allowed to handle books or
toys. Those which he handled
prior to the time it was deter
mined that he hatf the disease
should be burned. Such disin
fectants as the doctor orders
should be rigidly used, and only
those who are caring for the pa
tient should be permitted to enter
the room.
Diphtheria poison may retain
its virulence for a long distance
in articles which havs been allow

a diphtheria patient has been
cared for. (Dr. Evans.)
OUR AFFECTIONS.
If ve then be risen with
Christ, seek those things which
are above. Set vour affections
1
on things above, not on things on
the earth. Are we living in ac-
cord with this scripture com-
mand. Are our affections set on of our great institutions of learn
ings ahove? and not on thinn in- Which Public sentiment
on the earth? on things which are
right or wrong good or evil?
It is our nature to love or wor-
ship something and how impor- ucs'""k are some
tant it is, that our love and affec- someIlm done in thy name. The
tions be centered and drawn to ctions, and allurements . of
that which is sacred, Holy and
Heavenly.
This is the measure by which
we will be measured, the balance,
by which we will be weighed.
This will decide our eternal
destiny. We may be church
members, and to outward ap
pearances, be living a fairly good
christian life; but if our chief affec
tions are not set on that which
will meet the approval of God the
great invitafion, ''Come ye bles
sed" will not be extended to us.
Jesus says He that loveth father
or mothers more than me, is not
worthy of me. Seek these things
which are above, what are we
seeking today? We are all seek
ing something. -What is upper
most, first and foremost, in our
hearts homes and lives. What
will be the result of our possess
ings what we are seeking? Woufd
we beany better or wiser? How
much would they add to our
peace, and happiness, in this
world, or the next? Will they
meet the approval of God? Some
are heeding the Divine Command
and are seeking things which are
above; seeking pardon and the
peace, which the world cannot
give or take away. Some have
sought and found the Christian
hope, i and consolation, and are
seeking more faith, and charity,
seeking growth in grace, and a
closer walk with God. Desiring
to be devoted, loyal and obedien
to our divine master, and to be
more iutbrested in the, ways of
righteousness. . vThese, two classes

Claim of California to Be th Origin
nator of Moving Pictures Seems
Substantiated.
Probably the man who can claim
the greatest 'credit for moving pic
tures is Edward Muybridge of Oak
land, Cal., who, at the instigation of
Governor Leland Stanford of Cali
fornia made countless, pictures of
the governor's celebrated trotter Oc
cident, the first horse to trot a
mile in 2 :20 west of the , Rocky
mountains.
Occident was the pride of the
governor's heart, and he engaged
Muybridge to photograph him in ev
ery conceivable size and shape. In
making a series of snapshots of the
horse's action, Muybridge was en
abled to show the exact motion.
In order to satisfy the governor,
he thought of a novel scheme of
placing a number of cameras cov
ering at least one-tenth of a mile.
From these cameras he stretched
threads across the track at about
the height of the trotter's knees.
These threads being broken, each
camera made a separate, distinct
. picture of the horse, and by putting
them together and riffling from the
thumb, the horse could be seen in
actual motion.
In 1886 Muybridge sailed for
England, and there, in connection
with six or seven others, evolved the
first moving: picture camera. In
about 1886 some of these cameras
reached America, Popular Mechan

ANCIENT WHEAT.
Many years ago a Sutter county
(Cal.) farmer named Proper, by
following the Burbank method, de
veloped a seed wheat of great value,
which was eagerly sought by the San
Joaquin grain farmers. But the
wheat grown from this seed did not
maintain its valuable properties
through successive crops. Year by
year it lost some of them, until now
the Proper wheat is no better than
improper wheat. A son of Proper
had the forethought to preserve a
quantity of wheat harvested from
the original crops. He has a lot on
hand that is now 25 years old,
which he is planting. Will it ger
minate notwithstanding its ad
vanced age? Why not? Egyptian
grain, entombed for 4,000 years in
the wrappings of a mummy, yield
ed abundantly when planted where
the waters of the Nile reached it.

am sure if Pe-
S. B. Hartal M. D. runa cured him
a you say, it
would cure me also. I am los
ing flesh rapidly and the doctors say
I have every symptom of Bright's
disease of the kidneys. If you think
I would be benefited by Peruna I will
certainly try some as the doctors have
practically given me up, the same as
they did him."
In reply I wish to say, first, that I
never make any promises as to what
Peruna will cure. No physician can
make positive statements of that sort.
I can say this much, however, if I
were in your place I should certainly
give Peruna a trial. I know of no
other remedy that would be so likely
to be of use to you in your present
condition as Peruna. Take a table
spoonful before each meal and at bed
time. Continue this for two or three
weeks and then If there is anything
you wiah to ask me further write me
and I will give your letter prompt at
tention. If I find that the Peruna is not
helping you I will be perfectly frank
and tell you so, for I would not have
you take Peruna unless it was really
helping you. But it has rescued so
many cases of kidney disease , that I
am quite confident you will find it ex
actly suited to your case.
Kidney disease begins with catarrh
of the kidneys. Peruna is a catarrh
remedy. Unless the destruction of th6
kidneys 13 already too great Peruna
relieves the catarrh and the cause of
the kidney disease is removed.
I shall anxiously await a report of
your case. Remember, all letters are
sacredly confidential. I never use any
one's name or address without his
written consent. My correspondence
is absolutelv private. PERUNA IS

he lays upon the canvas of the eve

it, and shy treasures only discernible
in high moods. Dr. Frank Crane,
