He stands out front at theater time and watches his audience tile la. “Too {uaay high huts, too many high hals." he mutters. His philosophy Is that a piny that draws a high-hat pat ronage Is doomed to a comparatively short run. “I’d rather see more peo ple from the Bronx.” he sn.vs. • • • Some Don't* If yon are an out-of-Iowner in New York for a short visit, and have a lim ited amount of time to devote to show- going, here’s a tip: Don’t buy tickets to the tlnsl performance of a big suc cess. When a show hns been running for a year or so, the final perform ance Is. naturally, something that the actors look forward to with pleasure. It means a rest, or, If the show Is go ing on tour, a change of scenery. So the last show Is very likely to lie hi larious. If a scene in the play calls for liquor drinking, real liquor may be used. If the show Is a revue, the aernra “nd lib” their lint**, and some times aren’t so funnv. Medicine i 8 divided into two classes, preventive and healing. The Chinese P«J their doctors to keep them from .getting sick. We pay ours to heal us when we get sick. Still we say that wa ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In the two clinics for the anti-typhoid treatment, more than a thousand persons in this county be hoved it wa 8 better to take the treat ment that would prevent it than to have the disease and maybe get well ■of it, and maybe not. Whatever may happen to those who did not take it, those who did know that they are safe from typhoid for a period of two to ■oven year*. This treatment has cost nothing to those who took it. Among the disease* which are fata! to children of one to five years, dip- theria ranks third. The onset of dip- theria in a child is marked by so few signs of sickness until the mother pay* but little attention to its symp toms, ihinki/ig it is “upset” a little, is cross, or slightly feverish. When it* illness has advanced far enough to call in a doctor, the child in many case* dies before the ticatment can be ••cured or given. People who live in ■a city where hospital advantages can be secured save the live* of their •ftpthorria children by having an . ^pe^ation performed which allows them to breathe. There is but one aafe thing for a child living away tiaa\ hospitals and that is to give such preventive treatment a> will keep the children from contracting diptheria Sometimes when a child in the com munity contracts diptheria and dies w.tii it, v.e wonder where in the world it could have caught it. The answer is that not everybody who i- exposed to diptheria contiact it themselves they carry the germs to those who haven’t had it. Sometimes those who have gotten well of it carry the germs in their bodies all their'lives. Tl^ae persons are known a* “car riers.” About one person out of every HH) people are known to be “diptheria «arriers. v The chances are that .sooner or later one of the diptheria carrieia will be handling, kissing or being in the same room with your ■children and expose them to diptheria. Diptheria work* so quickly in a child until if the treatment is delayed 3inti) the third day of the disease vari ous complications of heart or throat paralysis may occur. ,Now, “anti toxin” is the name given to the remedy used to help a diptheria pa tient get well after it has contracted the disease. “Toxin-antitoxin” is the name given . to the treatment that hevps children from taking diptheiin. It is given at intervals of one week for three weeks. Jt is planned to begin this treat- inent a 8 seen as the last anti-typhoid •clinic is out of the way. In this way the children who receive it will be Tolly protected by the time that school opens next fall. It is especially need ed in the children of pre-school age. Children of this s^ge—cne to five Twu*s—need this preventive treatment more than children of school age. An nouncement of places, dates and hours where this treatment will be given in the county will soon be announced.

Ellenton, May 17.—Marking the close of probably the most successful term the institution has ever had, commencement exercises at the Ellen- toi^ school will begin Friday night, May 23, when the “class night” will be observed in the school auditorium in stead of giving the class with poem, history and prophecy in the usual way, the graduates will present these in a novel manner. Miss Annie Glymph, one of the teachers in the high school, has com bined the class night program into an original one-act play entitled “our class in 1940.” The senior class com posed of Carroll Johnson, William Dunbar, Miss Ollie Bell, Miss Kath erine Bush, Miss Frances Baiker and Miss Elizabeth Brinkley, will be as sisted in giving the play by Nash Mat tocks and J.

BIBLE CONTINUES BEST SELLING BOOK Fourteen Million Purchased in U. S. Last Year. New York.—Fourteen million Bibles and Testaments were sold In the United States Inst year, according to statistics of the American Bible so ciety and leading Bible publishers. The estimated total for 1929 purchases for the world Is 3,500.000. Since October when the revised Episcopal Prayer hook was published, 1,500,000 copies of the Prayer book have been sold, ac cording to figures gathered by the Na tional Association of Book Publishers. Commenting on these statistics of Bible and Prayer book sales, Edward S. Mills, president of the National As sociation of Book Publishers, said: “The fact that the Bible is still the world’s best selling book seems to dis prove the contention of many that general Interest in religion is on the wane. Another evidence of universal concern with religious problems is the large number of religious books issued by American publishing houses each year. Of the 10,187 new books and new editions issued In the United States during 1929, 806 were religious books. Ont Family Bibl* Pass#. “The only two groups which ex ceeded religious publications were fic tion, which totaled 2.142, and chil dren’s hooks, totaling 931. Biography, which Is recognized as one of the most popular classes of literature at the moment, totaled 738 In 1929. 68 less than the religious hook total. In the last five years 4,316 religious hooks have been published, and religious titles have been either second or third on the list of classifications each year. It is Interesting to note that In 1920 and 1910 religious books stood fourth on the list; In 1900 sixth. “One reason for the large sales of Bibles is the modern church teacher’s Insistence on each member of the household having his own Bible. The old tradition of one family Bible Is passe. A wide variety of editions and prices are now available—children’s Bibles, reference Bibles, beautifully illustrated editions. A recent innova tion In Bible publishing is the substi tution of colored bindings, rich reds, purples and bines, for. the somber black which was considered the only suitable binding for so many years. Another striking change is brought about by the use of hold face type In some editions, which is considered more readable than the lighter types.
