Cagt. Muller admits that th« Cav- alary U his branch of the service; ho says that it*s the branch of the army that just naturally has to be mighty good to get out of things alive, so believe* m e it looks like the Howell trophy is going to stand a mighty good chance of getting tacked on a pole and carried in the stirrup of some dashing young trooper's sad dle. And with •Catfish” Goodman at the wheel and backed by a gang of J-ieuts., Sergts., Corps, and Privat<*s such as we gaxed at ia The Bulletin last Saturday, who, can doubt but that sack a thing is highly probable? “Cat” don't claim 1 feat he got all the good men in the cadet corps, but you*]! have to admit that he did pin croas sabers oa some mighty good kinds aad surely by the time they have had a chance to show to what an extent their branch eah be devel oped the Cavalry is going to be 4 mighty desirable branch up here at this instltatumji « And say- bow. do you like the Cavalry’s contribution in the way of men for the basketball squad?

CONFUSION CLEARED UP AS TO USE OF ANTITOXIN t\ Austin. Texas.—The attention of ’ the Texaa State Boaiid of Health has -jbeen called to the confusion existing in the minds of physicians and the general public as to the mature of the product causing . the unusual reac tions in Dallas and a {few other lo- f CAlitias in Texaa. Thr general ira- j pression is that Diptfierta Antitoxin i | was responsible. This is not the |' ease. The material used i. known in medical practice as DiptJteria Toxin- Antitoxin Mixture. This mixture in' administered for the purpose of pro tecting against an attack of dipCheria j while Diphtheria Antitoxin, 4n en-1 tirely different product, ia admin istered to cure the patient after the disease has been contracted. Regrettable as the occarance has been, the results will be as nothing compared to what w|ll obtain, unless the confusion is promptly corrected. If physicians refrain from using Diphtheria Antitoxin, and . parents refuse to allow its use on the ground that it was responsible for the un usual reactions, such action will re- •atl^ ini the sacrifice of many mere lives and cause a great deal more suffering than occurred in the aae of Diphtheria Toxin-Antitoxin Mixture. On the ground of a broad general public health measure, an earnest ap peal is being made to make it clear that Diptheria Antitoxin was not con cerned and was in no way at fault. Therefore the State Board of Health urges that the! use of Diptheria Antitoxin be not refused in any case where it fc needed. The State Board alse requests that where this treatment is refused, that report of such refusal be made di rect to the State Health Officer STATE BOARD OF HEALTH RULES TO PREVENT “FLU” # 'M'l i»: n c m a. . ;; l- V r u: t i # m tt i New shipmente of Walk stock most complete, seasons prices which means you will pay the coming Th< r't if ^ In iIk , ■ ] Ask to see tl smar* looking the above il mahogony |i widths $1 Nettleton shoes make our J I Si shoes were bought at last ; a saving to you ovtr what ; “Brighton,” a last, like _ in dark sizes and i V Recognising the possible danger of a recurrence of the influensa epi demic of a year ago, the State Health-Officer has issued the follow ing statement, as a warning: “If a person has a cold, cough or sore throat, then h e should stay at home, avoiding crowds at all times and especially where there is poer ventilation. If the foot get wet, or the clothing wet or damp, dry them at the earliest possible opportunity. Spend es much time as possible out ef doors Sod b e Mins that the bed-room is well ventilated. When compelled to cough or sneese, cover the mouth and nose with a handker- chief* thus avoiding th e spreading of germs among others. In brief, keep the body as healthy as possible, for a healthy body of fers a high resistance to the invaaion of any disease. Dr. Goddarestated that he thought this warning eras timely inasmuch as reports from foreign countries show that the rii«ea*e to again epidemic in some of these countries, and all pre cautions should be used to prevent the return of the disease in epidemic form in this State. Some few cases have ben report* ed to the State Board of Health every month since the first outbreak of last year. FROM ALA TO ALAK ’ ALL SIZES IN A. M. WAL1 TTie Store foR Tl ■■ .. i 't. I k i - .
