B PIS^> LEANING TOWER Ik Being Bolstered up With Concrete to Save It. ? . B Concrete is being forced under the foundation of the leaning tower of Pisa, in Italy, in an effort to save the famous medieval structure. The tip* ping of the tower has increased Bsteadily and fear was felt for its Bsafety. B When measured a hundred years B*?? the tower was fifteen and onefcalf feet out* of "the-^peryeitdictiittr. n 1910 it was sixteen and one-half B^et. The foundation descends only Bn feet into the ground. A recent urvey?was made of the subsoil un erneath to see what strengthening Bneasures could be undertaken. It B'a? decided to force concrete under Bthe walls, which are thirteen feet thick at the base. The tower, with its eight stories, rises 179 feet, and is constructed throughout of marble. Experts who ht^ye studied it believe that the tower asumed its leaning position while un der construction, early in the twelfth century, and that its designers did B*ot intend it to lean. i - * - The body of Fred Englert, 21, of New York one of four hunters miss ing since January 18, when they left Wilmington for a hunting trip, was f?und Saturday morning floating in B^he Cape Fear river.

Hia appetite le poor and his parents think he is "upset" from some cause. The throat is red and sore but the soreness at first is not severe. Soon the tonsils become enlarged and there begin to appear on them whitish spots which rapidly spread and unite to form what is known as the false membrane. The color of this membrane soon becomes yellow or gray or even blackish. If its rapid growth is not checked it may extend downward into the windpipe and strangle the patient. Unless this happens, however, it must be remembered that the local effects in the throat are of small consequence. It is the saturation of thfe entire body with the deadly toxins that is to be feared, and it is necessary to get antitoxin into the child's blood to neutralise these toxins and rteirtler them harmless before they have time to damage the vital organs and cause death or serious impairment of health. Antitoxin canpot undo injury that has already been done; it cap only prevent further in'jury If given in time. The first antitoxin was produced from horses, but a great deal of the product used today comes from sheen. That distributed by the South Carolina State Board of Health is made from sheep scrum. A few people /tyve a peculiar sensitiveness to horse serum and cannot take it, but they experience no difficulty with that from sheep. It is dangerous for a welt1 person who is subject to "horse asthma" to take horse-serum antitoxin as a preventive but, according to Kosenau, there is no case on record of serious results following the administration of antitoxin to a person ill with diphtheria. Dr. James A. Hayne, State Health Officer, advises that,''* when diph theria appears in a community in which the children have not been previously immunized, steps be taken to give those who have been exposed immediate protection by means of preventive doses of antitoxin unless they can be seen daily by a physician. If they can be closely watched and the curative dose given on the first appearance of symptoms the preventive dose need not be given. If a child has previous^ had a dose of any kind of serum, or is subject to "horse asthma," he should -not be given the preventive dose of antitoxin, but should be watched closely for symptoms. After all danger from the outbreak is over toxin-antitoxin should be given to.jevery child under seven and to all older children who are found by the Schick test to be * susceptible. Immunity conferred by preventive doses of antitoxin i?, immediate but of short duration, good for only about three weeks. That derived from toxin-antitoxin is slowly acquired, taking from three to six months, but is more lasting. The War's' Cost - Q It has now been figured out "finally"?after 10 years?tfyat the World war cost 37,000,000 lives and $363,000,000,000. These figures were reached by a committee of experts at Paris preparing a report for the League of Nations. They found that Germany and France bore the heaviest burden in casualties?Germany ?With 7,142,561 and France with 6,160,000. Taking the two sides in comparison the allies with the United States lost 5,400,000 while the central powers lost 3,400,000 killed. The loss in reduction of births during the four and a half years of the war together with the lost reproduction power of nearly 9,000,000 killed was figured out tfr bo 22,850,000. The ^excess of deaths Caused by war over the normal rate " of the battlefields was figured to bo 6,000,000?a grand total of about 87,000,000. On the financial fide France and Germany were also the greatest sufi ferers. But the total cost can only | be guossed at since reparations and pensions are to be paid for many years to come. No doubt later and different estimates will be made.? The Pathfinder. Rev. Forbes Goes To Great Vails Great Falls, Feb. 4.?The Rev.. J. M.

Uncle Joe said that he always felt like a fool sitting there in his car waiting for the green lights to come on when his lizzie was the only vehicle unywhere's about and I told him if he felt like a fool then he felt like he looks all the time, and then I dodged a left punch to the chin, Aunt Minervy is a great germ dodger. The other night she hollored at Susie and told her to stand back from that radio while that announcer was sneezing as she didn't want her to catch the llu. After shaking hands with peddlers, which she always does, she's si) sociable, she goes right straight and souks her hands in an iodine solution. She won't drink after nobody, not even Uncle Joe.

The Dead* Beat A dt'Hd ?wut is u living corpae which thrives on what it can leach, His promises are not worth 6 cents a dozen, hiu! i)is wife is generally bud off when he is asked to pay for whnt he got by false pretense. He is always broke. He is worth lo his community just exactly what a spider in the dumplings is worth to the dumplings. ' ^ A dead-beat never dies young, ami ' when he dies at all, his kinfolks havo to bury him. lie would not think of stealing at night, but he thinks buying on credit witjh no intention of paying is not stealing. He sets on" eggs of imagination from day to day, and hatches new ideas and schemes which permit him to get stuff that other folks have worked for. It is not right" (perhaps) to judge a man by ^is debt-paying proclivities, hut if he pays hisohonesjl dejjts, his credit is always good, ami his standing among the church folk and business houses is generally A-l. A dead-beat is a mighty poor excuse for a human being. * A dead-bent love i a Job like a cat loves a dog. He can give more reasons for not working than a boll weevil has grandchildren. He can dodge his creditors with the same agility that a humming bird dodges a sparrow hawk. He works hie wife and younguna like Nero worked the galley slaves, and they gefc as much of their own wages as a hen gets of the egg's she lays. The average dead-beat is always glad to see the merchant or the bank which he owes go broke, yet he never claims credit for helping them on toward bankruptcy. When he geta j sick himself, he hollers for a doctor which he never pays when he gets well. And when he gets "real low," he sends for tho preacher (to come and pray for him) that would have starved to death had all his members been like him, and when he is packed avay in "peaceful sleep" by an undertaker, ho leaves nothing but a bad reputation?which the undertaker can't deposit in a bunk. All men who don't pay their debts are not dead-beats. There are thousands upon thousands of honest fclks that can't pay what they owe, -.ad when they have tried faithfully and have failed, their debts should bo forgiven them. Hut a common, everyday dend-bent that parasites on tho people with whom he comes in contact ought to have the 7-year itch all the duys of his life.
