bumped right on out of the way.
Cagt. Muller admits that th« Cav-

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

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

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.

To the One I Love:
What shall I do for a husband
Dearest I write to you;
Is it to be or not to be?
Marriage they say to a lottery.
But the adage is that Love is blind;
So I'll run the risk if you don’t
mind.
If Joy to yen perhaps I'll bring.
Then send me quick a diamond
ring.
If the author’s name you cannot
guess.
Send your mail to the one you
(should) love best.
P- 8.—I’ll bet you a kiss you sen-
not guess
Who sent this proposal to your ad-
