Children under five years of age have the heaviest death rate About 85 per cent of the deaths caused by diphtheria were in children less than ten years old. Children A frequently pome in contact with this disease be fore and during their school attend: anee. By the use of the Schick test, the family physician can tell if the child is protected against diphtheria or not. Diphtheria and its Unnecessary trag edies can be prevented by the use of diphtheria toxin-antitoxin or toxoid. Immunization is usually established in three to four months after the last treatment A Schick test is then advised to determine if the protection against diphtheria has been establish ed.

Now is the time to protect all chil dren who are under twelve years of age 'because most of diphtheria occurs during the winter months. It is much-easier to prevent this infection than it is to cure it. If any one should contract diphtheria, the immediate use -of large amounts of diphtheria antitoxin will frequently result in improvement. H. G.

Nutritionist Explains Ideas on Refrigeration Homemakers always want to know how to use their refrigerators to keep the family's food at -its best, especially through the mid-summer heat, explained Aneta Beadle, extension nutritionist ot Purdue: University.

Cold retards the growth of destructive organismsf That is the answer to the question, "Why refrigerate?" says Miss Beadle. Temperatures of 40 to 50 -degrees are "believed to give adequate protection for most foods. There are refrigerators of every type, ice, gas, kerosene and electric, which will maintain these temperatures if properly handled. On the hottest when the kit chen thermometer reads 90, at least 50 per cent more ice or electricity is used to maintain the, proper food temperatures in a refrigerator than on 70 degree days. Placing the refrigerator next to the kitchen stove, or in a sunny' place on the porch, Is like exposing it to a continuous -hot day.

Such treatment is not fair to the refrigerator, nor to the family pocketbook. When preparing a mtjal. form the habit of taking several articles from the refrigerator at one time; Close the door quickly and latch tightly af- atiasv una WA11 ItAV fee siaasssi several years of service check the Hnnr r.irt and hineea to tney are suu very ugni. Don't force the refrigerator to do a lot of unnecessary cooling. Avoid putting hot dishes into the cabinet.

Certain food as milk, cream and raw meats, are especially Inviting to bacteria. The thermometer should not creep up over the 45 mark in the section of the refrigerator where these are stored. Epidemics of food poisoning reported every summer, are usually directly traceable to improper refrigeration of foods of this helps preserve the food value, flavor and texture vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables, unlike many other foods, are still living things when stored In the refrigerator, they continue to breathe and wilt and grow rapidly, unless these life processes are stopped by heat, or slowed dswn by cold. Left at room temperature fruits soon become overripe and ready for decay.

Refrigeration slows down these unwelcome changes.
