The wonderful results of this test are most interesting and satisfactory as there is a very high percentage of immunity from the dreaded disease.. diphtheria, which is now prevalent in Illinois and elsewhere qjid causes the death of many children every year. Diphtheria is absolutely preventable just as smallpox and typhoid fever are preventable and it is this condition that the treatments of toxin-Antitoxin will bring to this city. 'Any person or child who was found to be susceptible upon taking the Shick test should be given toxin-antitoxin in three doses of one week apart. Noticfes will be sent to all parents whoee child was found susceptible in the Shick test and the toxin-antitoxin > will again be given in ^the schools to these desiring same.

No automobile will operate with maximum efficiency unless the spark plugs function properly. And as the best spark plugs lose their full effectiveness after a season's driving-- or approximately 10,000 miles, it Is important that the motorist know how to properly care for them during this time. In the first place the spark gap should be set at .020 to J025 of an inch. Spark plugs to function properly must be kept free of excess carbon and oil formations. Cleaning Easily Dene. Cleaning is easily done. Simply fill the lower part of the plug with alcohol, or any liquid metal polish, and allow to stand for a few seconds; take a piece of wire covered with one thickness of cloth and rub the carbon from the Insulator then wipe clean and dry thoroughly before replacing in the engine. Cleaning a plug in this way is far better than taking it apart to clean. When a plug is once taken apart there is greater danger that it will not be pot together se- ' curely again, which would cause leakage due to it not being tight. This in turn causes loss of power., In cleaning the sparking points use5 emery cloth or a knife. " Where Worn, Change Plugs. * In cases' where the electrode is badly worn away cleaning with emery cloth is of no avail; likewise when the insulator is coated heavily the best and most economical remedy is to change plugs since the coating cannot be cleaned off readily. When spark plugs are severely worn, loss of power is often evident and eventually missing of the engine will occur which in turn produces the following major troubles: l.OH pumping, causing formation of carbon and sticky valves. 2. Poor starting »nd excessive drain on the battery. 3. Poor running; loss of power, tmpecially on hills. 4. Higher gasoline consumptioiu--I 5. Larger engine repair expense, 6. Poor driving satisfaction.
