Antitoxin for Fourth of July
To meet the Fourth of July de
mauds, large supplies of totauus an
titoxin have beeu ordered for the
sixty-seven distributing stations
throughout the Commonwealth,
by Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, Com
missioner of Health.
Despite the nation wide move
ment for "A Safe and Sane Fourth",
which has been steadily growing
during the last few years, the total
number of accidents resulting in the
dreaded tetanus or lock-jaw, is
greater on that day than any other
in the three hundred ml sixty-live.
The serum which the Depart
ment of Health distributes to the
poor is used to minimize the victims
of lire-crackers, gun shot and other
wounds. When it is used im
mediately following t he accident or
within twenty-four or even thirty
six hours thereafter, the danger of
infection is reduced to a minimum.

A State Family Bible
Kentucky is one of the southern
steites which has recently adopted
a modern law for the registration
of vital statistics, says"The Journal
of the American Medical Associa
tion. Put into force a little over
a year ago, it has been 011 trial.
As usual, it encountered opposition.
Some people were unable to see
why births and deaths should be
recorded; others did not like togo
to the trouble to make out an ord
erly record of these occurrences.
Because physicians and medical
organizations led the way in secur
ing this needed legislation, it was
of course, regarded as something
for the benifit of physicians rather
than for the public good. Shake
speare asked —and so have many
philosophers since his time—
"What's in a name?" and the
wisest of these inquirers have rec
ognized the importance of naming
a thing properly, if it is to stand
well in the public eye. Evidently
this fact is recognized in Kentucky.
The leading editorial in the May 1
issue of the Kentucky Medical
Journal, under the heading "Name
the Babies," discusses some of the
difficulties encountered in putting
the new law into effect. In this
connection, the editor philosphic
ally refers to the State Bureau of
Vital Statistics as "Kentucky's
Big Family Bible.A happier
name could not well be devised.
When the people of Kentucky
understand that the object of birth
registration is to record the name
and date of arrival of each little
citizen of Kentucky, so that its legal
identity may be established, and
that the state is simply exercising
the same care that leads a father to
inscribe each birth in the family
Bible, public support of the measure
will be increased and assured.

HERE IS THE GREATEST INSURANCE
IN THE WORLD.
Eminent physicians declare that eight million of the American
people alive today will die of consumption and twelve million will die
of pneumonia. These diseases are so contagious that no family is im
mune. Ask your physician.
Consumption and pneumonia as well as many other contagious
diseases are spread by the dust and dirt brought or blown in from the
streets. Settles in your carpets and rugs and cleaning in the old fashioned
way (ills the air with the invisible germs. People breathe it and be
come infected. Science and experience have proven that the surest
safeguard against these diseases is cleaning with the NATIONAL
VACUUM CLEANER. It is the greatest life insurance in the world
because it makes you and every member of your family live longer and
the great superiority of the NATIONAL is everywhere admitted.
It makes cleaning easy and is more economical to use than tho
broom or sweeper.
The NATIONAL is really everybody's cleaner, easily operated
by boy or girl, can be operated with either left or right hand.
The NATIONAL lias greater capacity than any other cleaner
built for operation by one person—9o inches of air space s»nd a large
reservoir for dust and dirt, which makes it possible to clean several
rooms without emptying. It has a flexible nozzle, which adjusts itself
to any height of person. See other machines work and compare them
with the NATIONAL.
A boy or girl can clean house with the NATIONAL far better
than several strong men and women can clean house without it. \
If you want to take advantaga of this splendid offer you will have
to act quickly.

POUND MASTER IS THIRFTY
Will Make Use of All of Dog
but the Bark
Oio ille, Cal., June 15. John
Rich, who has been chosen "pound
master" to succeed the colored
wonder, Allen Daunon, has mapped
out a plan which he believes will
make his bank roll much fatter be
fore the year rolls around.
First, he gets 50 cents a dog from
the city, next he intends to skin
the animals and sell the hides for
leather. The meat he will crush
and the oil extracted he will sell.
He declares that this has been
found a genuine cure for consump
tion, and that there is a big demand
for it. The Hesh is to be used to
feed chickens and the bones will be
crushed for fertilizer. He says he
will use all the dog but the Itark.
