'This is the prophecy of Dr. Ramon, of the Pasteur Institute of Paris, who with his colleagues at the spe-- cial diphtheric section at cmct:u. Garches have been sOM@LNIUNE .

Similar results were obtained in the schools and Dr. Ramon believes that this year's records will . show complete immunization among school--children, after their initial vaccination, of nearly 10 percent. If this can be obtained, efforts will be made to make the use of the vaccine _ compulsory _ throughout France. So great is the confidence of foreign scientists in the effort, thousanas upon thousands of bot-- tles, prepared for urgent cases . of diphtheric maladies, are now being shipped -- to other countries every month, and so far there has been no complaint. MAY MEAN END OF DIPHTHERIA Included are a large number of wdditions and improvements to the state charitable institutions, involv~1 ing more than $5,000,000, together: with road construction and the ad-- vancement of work on thte Illinois waterway. In addition to the work now under contract, many other pro-- jects will be added before the ex-- piration of Governor Sna!l. lllinois' greatest building program involving the expenditure of mil-- lions, is in progrmess under the direc-- tion of the various departments of the state. _ & T1 z& PORORSITOO mrus Cas In addition to the road program | for the year, which totaled $45,000,-- 000 for pavement and bridges with more to come, the state is doing a large amount of work on the water-- way locks at Brandon Road pool, where 300 men are employed each day. Their work is expected to con-- tinue for several weeks. New bhuild-- ings and improvements are being made at many of the charitable and educational institutions for which appropriations were made at the last session of the general assembly. It is probable that the contract for the new state hospital in Kankakee county will be made_ b_e{or_g)l'ong. 'nu: appropriation for the building . and grounds was $1,000,000. The land was purchased some time ago. Road construction in the state, which has set a new record, has re-' sulted in the expenditure of vast sums. Only a short time ago $9,-- 000,000 in bonds of tthe $100,000,000 bond issue were sold to an eastern syndicate. The greater part of this money has been expended and an ad-- ditional $8,000,000 will be sold early in November. After the ss.wopoo y i e w TD OC i new administration which assumes charge in January. is disposed of there will be a bal-- ance of $25,000,000 out of the $1000,-- 000,000 band issue remaining for the Announcement has been receivod' with considerable interest by state departments to the effect that exper-- iments at Danville in the manufac-- turlekof paper from <lllincis corn-- stalks have proved %\l Use of the new zqnt be tried out on December 15 when the Prairie Farmer, a farm publication, will print an edition in which the product will be used; the following day the Danville _ Commercial--News _ will make a test of the new paper.
