It has taken its definite place as another wheel in the massive machinery of our industrial civilization. , HOME TOWN THOUGHTS It would be good advertising to send salesmen around to every . house in ..town, to talk about your goods, but an advertisement in the Citizen or Review does the same work for a slight fraction of the cost America is prosperous, because for the most part people buy American made products, and a town can acquire prosperity in the same way by buying stuff at home.

Shipment of dressed lambs to the Atlantlo seaboard was commenced In California in 1923 by a San Francisco packer and during the first year only a few cars were handled. In 1924 the movement of live lambs from Califpr. nia on account of the quarantine reg. ulations a large portion of the lamb crop was dressed locally and shipped by rerf rigerated cars to the Middle West and the Atlantic seaboard. Dnr. ing that year nearly 200,000 lambs were handled In this way and the feasibility of the practice was demonstrated demon-strated so that with a return to nor. mal conditions in 1925, 76,000 lambs were shipped dressed and in 1928 some 60,000 were moved in the same way. Indications are that this is the beginning be-ginning of a new method of meat food distribution from the Paciflo South, west' and eventually Los 'Angeles is destined to become a world factor, in meat packing and distribution! livestock live-stock supplies moving from all of the territory lying West of the Rocky Mountains could be ' economically moved by rail to Los Angeles for packing "nd distribution at Atlantic seaboard points through the Canal as -well as to Pacific Ocean points. In many quarters fear has been expressed that satisfactory sheep and lamb prices would stimulate production produc-tion to a nolnt where "nrice " levels would be forced downward as has been the case in other farm products It Is not anticipated that thjese fears will be realized during 1927 with over 300,000 sheep and lambs short as against last year. Wool prices for the past several weeks have shown a stronger undertone under-tone and at this time wool stocks are at a low level. Optimism prevails .due largely. to the practice in textile centers to purchase stock on a "hand to mouth" basis, eliminating extreme fluctuations which have occured in past years when buying was concen trated in short periods in buying wool requlreiHanta as-naeded. ;:. : The confidence which is being shown In the sheep Industry appears ta be based upon a sound economic foundation. With the industry guided In conservative channels as seems to be the order of the day there would appear to be nothing In the horizon to mar its continued prosperity.

BANK Views Outlined On Inoculation Effects Dear Mr. Editor: In your last week's ' issue of the CitizenTthe superintendent of the Alpine school district made some rather broad statements about possible pos-sible bad after effects of the toxin anti-toxin now being used in the schools against diphtheria. I am just afraid he has not thoroughly investigated in-vestigated this proposition, because like all other matters- there are two sides to every question and, rather than have the public believe there is ABSOLUTELY JiO bad after-effects from the introduct-'oa of toxin antitoxin anti-toxin Into the system I feel CAUTION should be used and that CARELESSNESS CARELESS-NESS on the part of parent or child should not be encouraged. I am sure had Mr. Gourley wanted tophe-could of found prooT to show, that a great number or medical men are not In accord with this program for Instance in a recent monthly magazine edited by a medical doctor, Arthur Vos, M. D. called; the Philosophy of Health on page " 296, September, 1926, appears an article on "Reasons why 'the Schick test and subsequent f mnoculatlons should not be used on school children." " Our superintendent states that 758,000 children have had the treatment treat-ment and then continues "Out of all these treatments and mil other treatments treat-ments glTen- in U-. S.- and - Canada THERE HAS NEVER been any bad after effects., - . In an article. Dr. Kellogg of Vthe California health'l6ard Is quoted and he polnts-trat that the percentage of error in reading re-actions- in those who are protein sensitive Is frequent ly as high as 60 per cent He adds that the greatest obstacle to accuracy in the Schick Test is the trenwndous instabllllyoLdlphtherla toxin .Dr. Peter's, lecturer' on infectious diseases in the University of Bristol, ad ml ted that one of his fever hospital nurses, wno was not allowed in the diphtheria wards until 6 weeks after tkUsrtosAlfil- toxln-an ti toxhv4e. veloped diphtheria two months after completion of the immunizing dose, while two other nurses developed that disease while being immunized and not in contact with any known case. The author of this article states that the three toxin anti-toxin Innocu-latlons Innocu-latlons which follow are highly dan gerous to health and declares they nay. .been the ..cause, of many -.deaths. A - serious-- disaster of ' this kind' occurred In Texas in 1919-when ten children died and some sixty others were Injured, and In 1924 six or seven babies at a clinic In Austria were killed by these injections. A number of school children were similarly in jured in the State of Massachusetts In the early part of 1923, the Injuries being attributed to the freezingof the mixture. It Is significant that both In America and In England a new mix ture baa been tried, called Toxoid, while on the Continent en Anatoxin has been Invented la the hope that the dangers of the mixture at present in use may be prevented. , In Austria, earthing inquiry failed to reveal the cause of the deaths of the babies at Baden in 1924, and the nee of the toxic-antitoxin mixture is now for bidden in that country. , " . , ? Child Deaths from Diphtheria Small Proportion -Of WhoJe. ' ' ' . Out of some ten million children In England and Wales, the total number of deaths under 15 years of age for the last two years, 1923-1924,' were 188,30; and of these -4,971 were dne to diphtheria, only 2.6 per cent. Even If it could be proved (which U can not) by Schick testing . the children and afterwards inoculating those who re-act to the teet that the inoculated have been saved from diphtheria, it cannot be worth while testing mil- lions of children every year any1n- oculatlng hundreds of thousands of them to save, comparatively speaking, a small number of them from the risk of .diphtheria. Incidentally, U should Lbe noted that the majority of these 4,791 children died in spite of the anti-toxin treatment Immunity Valht Neither y Theory Nor In Practice. As one attack of diphtheria does not provide any immunity against a further attack, It is unreasonable to suppose that any immunity can be given by the killed toxins of the disease. The supposed proof that such immunity is given 1 based entirely en-tirely upon laboratory experiments on animals. ' '., The cost of the system- must obviously- be very heavy. There is no guarantee forthcoming from anyone that it will prevent or mitigate diph theria. If adopted, It meens that a .large number of children will be made more or less ill at the cost of the. taxpayers, children who, for the most part. In the ordinary course of things, would remain healthy and strong. No one can foretell the ultimate results of these injections. The London County Council, in October, 1925, refused to give permission per-mission of the adoption of this system sys-tem In the London Schools. I .realize It is too late now to do anything about the present treatment now being given the school children, but it is not too late to be careful and cautious with these sore arms, stiff shoulders and etc., because there HAS BEEN SOME BAD AFTER EFFECTS and the public should not be made to believe they can treat this propo-sltlon'with-out any thought whatsoever. whatso-ever. It has coot the lives of SOME children and. It Is hoped that such will not be the case in this district - JAMES--&I.
