SMALLPOX ON INCREASE

More Than Four Times As Many Cases In November This Year As in 1928

~ Smallpox has shown an increase of ‘more than 450 per cent in Indiana In November of this year over the same month of last year the state health department reported today.

Likewise there was a big increase in scarlet fever cases amounting to approximately 26 per cent. ' In the November just closed the department was advised of 162 cases ol smallpox compared with 34 for November 1928. Scarlet fever cases last month totalled 104 compared with 84 a year ago in November.

Reports from many sections of the state indicate that schools are taking the most thorough action within sever@l years in immunization measures. Compulsory vaccination has been orderpd in numerous schools and quarantine have been rigidly established. Despite the extraordinary prevalence of small pox and scarlet fever however there has been no alarming report of fatality from diseases.

A Thought for Merchants,

- In a recent radio talk a wellknown speaker had the following tgo say to merchants of the smaller cities: “To any merchant who may be listening in—l have a word or advice. Do not give your local newspaper a dollar. Instead—buy twice as much advertising as you think you can afford for a period of one year, then watch your business grow. *The newspaper is an accurate mirror of the town in which it is published. If your town is a live town, one that can meet the intense competition of today, the newspaper will be filled with snappy invitations to trade at the various business places of that town. Your newspaper is yvour Wweekly or daily contact with the people of your trade territory. Use it liberally and you will be surprised at the results. The merchants in any town where a newspaper is published could afford to pay the subscription to the paper for every resident within 30 miles—they would get their money back many times over the increased contracts for their advertising messages.

“Boost for your newspaper—it is always boosting the community—and the boost you give will pay you big dividends.” : ;

' Something Worth Seeing, _Tomorrow Friday evening December sth the Ligonier high school basket- | ball teams will meet teams from North Side Fort Wayne at the Ligonier gym and good contests may be looked for.

Accident Restores Normal Sight.

“It is an ill ‘'wind that blows no good.” Years ago when Merle Eminger worked at the blacksmith trade at Kendallville, a hot cinder ‘struck him in the eye and caused a growth to form over ‘the center of the eye, preventing him from seeing “straight ahead” with that optic. When that automobile accident occurred some weeks ago in which he was badly injured, somehow a piece of glass frow the windshield scraped his eyeball and cut off the growth. Now he can sce twith it nicely and a ‘specialist at Fort Wayne will help to heal the wound }_made by the glass.

Listeners Didn’t Quite , - Get Shades of Meaninz It all depends upon how you say it There was once a clergyman by the name of Twitchel. In the pulpit he maintained a gravity of wanner and expression. but out of the pulpit was a regular fellow. Ocecasionally he would , it the emergency required, Introduce. something queer in a sermon for the, sake of arousing the attention of theg congregation. )

One Sunday, seeing that hig hearersi were becoming sleepy, he paused in his! sermon and said: “Brethren. you, haven't any idea of the sufferings of; our missionaries in the new settle: ments, on account of the mosquitoes The mosquitoes in some of these regions are enormous. A great many! of them would weigh a pound, and; they will get on the logs and bark, when the missionar.es are going along,' By this time all ears and eyes were open and he proceeded to finish his discourse. . The next day one of the church members called him to account for telling lies in the pulpit. “There never was a mosquito that weighed a pound,” he said. ‘ L - “But,” replied tae minister, “I didn’t Bay one of them would weigh a pound ; 1 suid a great many, and I think a million of them v-ould.” g “But you said that they barked at the missionaries.”

“No, no, brother: I said they would get on the logs and bark.”—Boston Herald. —————e Relics of Wesley in | - 'House Where He Died Wesley’s house in the City “road, Londoa, adjoining the chapel of which he laid the foundation stone In 1777, has been converted into a museum of interesting relics of the famous preacher. Here may be seen his bedroom as it was when he died there on March 2, 1791, intact with its beautiful Chippendale furniture. one article of which, a massive bu. reau with curious secret drawers. has been valued at many thousands of pounds, apart from its associations. Adjoining the bedroom are his pray ing closet and his study, the latter a spacious apartment, also furnished in Chippendale. Here are preserved his preaching gown of (lwered brocade. his riding shoes and stirrups, and many other persona! belongings, including the pen he was writing with when he ldy dying. |
