Several days ago nine chicks were
Matched. The setting being unusually
large. she took them out of the nest and
put them, for the time being, in an old

however, crawled in and when found was
fast asleep. The day was cold and all Of

close as they could get. The cat seemed

the start and since then they have been
delighted with their foster mother and

angry to have anyone touch one of the
nine. She had a fight with the old hen the
other day and completely routed her. The
chicks seem to understand her news and
purrs and never leave her side. They
take str0lls together and will have nothing
to do with the other chickens
The cat hunts them suitable food and
they are perfectly cOntented. Mrs. Ro-
zelle has absolute faith in the cat and
will allow her TO raise them.

zens the secretary of the state board Of
health today ordered the Anderson city
schools closed until Oct. % on account Of
the prevailing diphtheria scare. There
were 500 children out Of school today on
account of the prevailing scare and 1t
was useless to continue until the disease
abated to a great extent. The situation
is alarming, to say the least, and parents
are very much relieved that the public
schools have been closed. 1t is pr, babe
that the parochial schools will also be
closed Should the disease still be raging
on the 18th the vacation will be extended

WIFE TRADE EXPLAINED.

tinguished smith.

To the Editor-Sir: 1 trust that you
will permit a few words Of explanation
about the communication from Anderson
in Mondays Sentinel
Believing that many good people who
read that communication will be misled.
I want to say: % Two years ago the
Rev. Dr. Smith was not preaching in
Winchester. 1 lived at that time near

also lived not far from where Dave
Smith" lived, who wanted TO trade wives
with a man by the name OF Helms
Neither Of these men were ministers az
that time two years ago), and as they
then were trying 10 trade wives II Is
not reasonable to suppose that Smith has
arisen to the distinction attributed 10
him in the Anderson communication; CD
Smith was not preaching in winchester
when he became Infatuated with Helms
wife," for he never did preach IN that
city at all but he was attending a meet
ing which was conducted by strange
man and woman who came into the
neighborhOod I'm which Smith lived, near
Carlos City, Randolph county. The man
and woman who conducted the meeting
We're not identified with any church and
advocated some very strange doctrines
in which Smith and Helms became be-
levers. Immediately 1.-The wife trade
originated and lawyers were consulted,
who informed the men that such an eN-
change could not be made; CD these men
are neither one ministers. The Rev. Dr.
Smith. who figures as a wife trader Is
not a reverend doctor" ana II Is an
outrage on the public 10 represent MN
as such. If he is "well-known in Indiana
and Ohio it is only in very small cir
Gle: IL he is noted for anything at all II
Is for his ignorance and vacilation; 90
ia is absurd ard misleading 10 announce

af-ters as .hese trade wives that min

diphtheria is rampant in almost every
section Of the gas belt. At Middletown it
has reached such a hight that the schools
have been closed for an indefinite period.
From the present outlook it is but a mat
ter of time until the schools in a majority
of the remaining cities are closed. In this
city the condition of affairs is quite
alarming. In the west part Of the city
alone there is not less than fifty cases. 1t
is not confined TO children, but today the
cases of six adults were reported. 1t is
in its worst form and over half of the
cases are proving fatal. The most pre-
cautious steps are being taken and Il Is
thought that it may checked TO a great
extent before long.
