Why Doctors Urge Protection for the
Children Again*! Diptheria
We know that diptheria is a dis
ease of childhood and that nearly all
children are susceptible. During the
pre-school age, their resistance is at
its lowest and is not much higher by
the time they are exposed to the
many avenues of contagion upon
entering school. Most of the deaths
from diptheria occur during the sec
ond and third years of life, while
the largest proporton of the cases of
diptheria occur during the fifth and
sixth years. The period from the
second to the tenth year of life is
the most dangerous so far as dipth
< ria is concerned.
It is for this'reason that physicians
and health officers everywhere urge
parents to give young children the
benefit of the new' means of protec
tion. Do not put off the matfer
until the child reaches school age.
He is in danger from his first birth
day until such time as a natural im
munity has sufficiently developed,
and this may not be until his twen
tieth birthday, or even later. The
best form of insurance against the
scourge of diptheria is to give the
child the benefit of the modern med
ical dicoveries which wil protect him
for life.
What Is Diptheria?
Diptheria is a germ disease. It is
j caused by a special kind of bacillus
; which finds the most favorable place
1 for its development on athe mem
branes of the surface of the throat.
The germ find their way directly
1 from one person to another, usually
from the sick to healthy persons, with
whom they come in contact. When
once established in the throat, the
diptheria germs produce large
amounts of strong poison (toxin).
This poison Is absorbed into patient’s
blood, and is responsible for the
alarming character of the disease.
Sometimes apparently healthy indiv
iduals harbor the germs in their
throats, yet remain perfectly well.
They are called “carriers” because
they spread germs. The undiscov
ered “carriers” in a community are a
constant danger to those who are un
protected.
Toxoid Give* La*ting Protection
Every chid can be protected and
given a lasting immunity by the use
of Diptheria Toxoid. It is non
poisonous, and yet it still has the
power to stimulate immunity and
arouse the defensive powers of the
human body. Laboratory workers
treat this material, and test it by in
jection into animals and in other
ways to make absolutely sure that it
is harmless, and that it is sterile
and safe for use, and that it has the
power of giving protection against
diptheria. When these tests have
proven that, the product is satisfac
tory, samples are submitted to the
government scientists at the National
Institute of Health, where further
tests are carried out, and no product
goes out for use until it has passed
both the government tests and those
of the producing laboratory.

Why Gulf is the Gas
for May
Jilt.
Birds are nesting. It’s Spring . . . and it’s the
time of year to use Spring gas. The average
temperature is several degrees higher than it
was in April, and unless you’re using a gas
specially refined for Spring driving you’re throw
ing dimes and dollars away. Get That Good
Gulf Gasoline. Because it’s “Kept in Step
with the Calendar” — all of it goes to work, none
of it goes to waste. Pull up at the Sign of the
Orange Disc and try a tankful —today.
Opportunities Offered
High School Graduates
Opportunities for high school
graduates who train in agriculture
and agricultural engineering are
pointed out in a little booklet off
the press this week at the University
of Georgia College of Agriculture in
Athens. The booklet lists 101 oc
cupations in which menl with agri
cultu ural college training are need
ed, and tells of the courses and op
portunities for training at the agri
cultural college.
Dean Paul W. Chapman, of the
College, points out that “for the last
two years all the members of the
Senior class have found employment
prior to the time when they received
their diplomas. The same condition
will obtain again this year.. The un
solicited demand for workers in ag
riculture and agricultural engineer
ing greatly exceeds the available
supply.
“For the school year 1937-37, we
will continue the policy of granting
scholarships to farm boys who wish
to enroll in Agriculture and Agricul
tural engineering. These scholar
ships will provide for a credit of S2O
per quarter during the freshman and
sophomore years. This amounts to
a reduction in fees of of S6O for the.
(®)
collegiate year.
“In addition to granting scholar
ships to deserving Freshmen and
Sophomores, the University College
of Agriculture will continue the
policy established last year of ac
cepting food products to pay any or
all college expenses. Many boys
have taken advantage of this plan,
during the past year and there Is no
reason why the number will not con
tinue to increase as we will accept
any food product of high quality that
can be used n the dining halls and
cafeterias of the University of Geor
gia..”
Blanks on which any boy in Geor
gia may make application for the
Freshman and Sophomore scholar
ship may be secured from the College
of Agriculture, Athens, Ga.
