Over *,-1,500 cases have been reported during December. This is far from reassur- ' Ing since January and February are almost always fhe months in which this disease reaches its most widespread prevalence. Parents will profit by, watching their children very closely, securing medical service promptly In case of sickness and avoiding all possible contact with sick children. • Scarlet fever is dangerous because of debilitating complications that may follow as well as because of possible •fatal termination. Springfield.--Diphtheria eases in Illinois during 1924 fell short of the previous low annual record by nearly 4,000 cases. Gratifying as this situa- ! tions is, says the state health commissioner, there is no ground for believing that the disease will not return In serious epidemic form at a future date. For this reason parents should take advantage of the occasion to have their children immunized against diphtheria with toxin-antitoxin.

Springfield.--Cold waves are usually followed by waves of sickness, says the state health commissioner.

Rawlings, state health commissioner, after a search ing inquiry into a sudden, unexpected and sharp advance in typhoid fever prevalence in Illinois.* Eat oysters cooked or leave them alone, is the health commissioner's advice. "Evidence against raw oysters as the carrier of the germs which have caused many of the approximately 100 cases of typhoid fever in Chicago and vicinity recently Is very strong," said Doctor Rawlings. "I deem it my duty to warn the public against eating them. "The warning to eat no more raw oysters until further notice is directed especially to downstate communities. This has been done because of the dan1 ger that oyster supplies that are not now- going Into Chicago and other markets may be diverted to various cities and communities downstate." Springfield.--Whooping cough increased very noticeably during November and December, the prevalence running much higher than the a^Wage for those months. This disease is far more dangerous than Is commoner believed. In 1923 it caused as many deaths as scarlet fever and typhoid fever combined, only a few less than measles and more than half as many as diphtheria. Whooping cough is a long drawn out Infection that affects children far more frequently than adults.

If your children are well, excercise every care to prevent their coming in contact with sick children.

Dun & Co.'s annual review of business in part is as follows : The year 1924 was a period of fluctuating business, with sharp irregularities and contrasts, yet with a distinct gain in activity during the closing months. Political uncertainties, by causing added conservatism and hesitation, accentuated the contraction in trade which had occurred in various lines, but the result of the national election In November had a reassuring and stimulating effect and brought about a decided revival. The increased confidence that developed throughout the country was manifested both in the placing of deferred orders and in the greater willingness. to make forward commitments,, while the improved financial status of the grain farmers were regarded as foreshadowing a continuation of the commercial expansion. As the volume of transactions enlarged, mill and factory operations, which in numerous instances had fallen to low levels during the summer, began to recover more rapidly, and the average rate of steel output had reached 85 per cent by the end of December. The previous curtailment In different industries had been necessitated by ^he disproportion between tuipply and demand, but producing faalities were more fully utilized when buying subsequently broadened, and many additions to working forces were made. - With an estimated value of $9,479,- 902,000, the farm crops of the United States in the past year were worth $753,000,000 more than those oi 183B.
