BEWARE OF PNEUMONIA
It is Abroad in the Valley
and Fatal in Effect.

1t behooves every one in. the Walker
River country to guard himself
watchfully against pneumonia. The
weather is unusually favorable to the
spread of the dread disease just now,
and four deaths from it have occurred
within the last few days.
Guard the children. Guard the women
folks. Guard yourself.
Keep the, feet dry and warm; keep the
bowels open. Avoid whisky as you
would, poison while the danger is pres
emit. Clothe yourself warmly. Beware
of getting in a sweat and then laying off
clothes and overshoes to cool off quickly
that is especially dangerous. Sleep
with plenty of bedding. Keep the rooms
warm and we'll aired, but avoid drafts.
But do not keep the rooms SO warm that
you will take cold when you 90 out
doors. If you are vigorous enough to
take cold towel bath with thorough
toweling to stimulate the skin do it--but
don't do It If you are delicate. Battle the

feet in cold water and rub them to a
glow and change your socks every day.
Keep the bowels lax.
Pneumonia is commonly preceded by
rigorous chill. This does not mean a
feeling of GOODNESS (chilliness) but a
rigorous chill with twitching of the
muscles like an ague chill. That is the
moment to begin to fight for your life.
Camphor in whiskey or any other form
is the thing at that stage. Next quinine
in frequent 2-grain capsules. Have the
feet bathed in warm water. and rubbed
to glow Draw long, longer, longest
draughts of fresh air into your lungs and
expel it quickly and keep doing this till
you get dizzy, then rest a few minutes
and repeat over and over and over. The
oxygen of the fresh air is the greatest
curative when the disease is getting to
the lungs. Having done all this, get
into warm bed and stay there. AS
soon as you get to bed have the whole
chest, back and front, rubbed smartly by

AHdt 5 the KIND OF advertising that
counts-the kind that appeals to the
imagination and makes place for itself
in the memory.
But of course the story must be true.
or every man who finds himself misled
will be in rage and give the camp the
black eye.
The Secretary of the Yerington Cham
Der OF Commerce has the rare and ready
wit for advertising the instinct to turn
everything to account. The other day
he received letter from the San Fran
cisco sporting fraternity offering to get
up prizefght at Yerington that, as an
adj for the camp, would, they assert
ed, knock the stufin' out Of the mill
that Tex. Richard has promised to pull
off at Ely next Spring" The letter
ended thus: "Just wire what your Cham
Der of Commerce will put up for the
event and we will come over and ar
raAge details. The event will be worth
millions to your camp as an advertise
ment. Don't forget that All the Ne
vada camps are having them look at
Goldfeld and Tonopah and Bullfrog and
Ely. This is Yerington's great chance.
just say what your Chamber of Com
merce will put up for us and wire an
swer at our expense"
Secretary Dyer, of course, brought the
matter before the Chamber of Commerce
and was promptly instructed to turn
the rufians down cold. We don't want
that sort of thing here" so he sent the
following dispatch:
Answering letter have to say: Milky,
most emphatic. Nothing doing in your
line in this camp. Only thing Cham
Der Commerce put up for prize
fight is Jail with iron-clad guar
antee of bread and water for
thirty days. Yerington greatest copper
camp in Nevada got the biggest mine
in the State, the Nevada Douglas. Don't
forget the name Lot of other big mines
too. Got biggest river in Nevada and
finest farm and fruit country. Got
Ely skinned a mile for ore but
no ambition to dispute her claim
to being the toughest camp.
Yerington not doing any min
ing to speak of above ground, any way,
and folks here think scandalous notoriety
not good advertising. Got mountains of
copper and going after it on the square,
hot and heavy. Greatest opportunities.
Glad hand to all honest miners and pros
pectors. Marble heart for all brands of
finn PLANNERS. This dispatch not con-
fdential. Pass it up to your local papers
for public information and Yerington will
remember you in her prayers. [Signed]
E. A. DYER, Secretary.
There!' he said, reading me his long
dispatch to the San Francisco sports.
l like to see good boxing match,
myself, as well as anybody, but that
flim-flam style of advertising mining
camp is played out. Scandalous notoriety
isn't good advertising, anyway
And think he is right about it. 1t
degrades the tone of the mining industry
and makes outside people think that
Nevada must be populated exclusively
by toughs and finn Hammers. And that
isn't a reputation that will help camp
which is trying to enlist capital for deve1-
opment.

NEVADA'S GREATEST ''AD.v WRITER
Only Country Merchant at Yerlngton, But Onto the
Magic Of "Ad." Writing Bigger Than Wolf.
[Fitz-Mac in Salt Lake Tribune. ]

lFitz-Mac in Salt Lake Tribune.
Over 81, 900, 900 day is spent for adj
vertising in the United States and the
highest paid literary talent in the coun-
try is engaged in the business of writing
advertisements. 1t is admitted all round
that the United States leads the world
in the art of skillful and effective adver-
Using. But Goldfield leads the United
States mot in quantity of course but in
skill and effectiveness. There isn't a
hustling city or town in this country
that couldn't make money by sending a
delegation to Goldfield to study it's adj
vertising methods.
Ski1lful advertising is an art, and like
any other art may be acquired by study
and practice but some people seem to
an instinct for tia native genius.
The Yerington Chamber of Commerce
has genius of that sort for its Secre-
tary, an energetic young merchant
named Dyer who has recently made a
fortune in the great copper mines of the
district. Picturesque and effective
"ad.' writing appears to be. an
instinct with him. He has lived in Yer
ington all his life and been ''merchan-
dising'' since he was boy. Long ago
he quietly got his hooks onto lot oi the
neglected copper ground of the camp
when it could be picked up at yellow-dog
has made him rich.
The great copper deposit at Yerington,
is now being exploited on the most ex-
tensive scale, and his genius as an ''ad =
writer has probably contributed more
than any other factor to fix clearly the
identity Of Yerington in the public mind
as the camp that contains the greatest
mine in Nevada-by long Odds the
greatest-the Nevada Douglas, which
covers Douglas hill, little mountain of
copper ore
He originated the fetching and MEM
orable advertising phrase or expression
Wellington is the only camp east Of
California where the honest and intelli-
gent American miner can hit drill with
one hand and pick peaches from the
bough with the other
That is capital "ad = phrase for two
reasons, first because it is memorable,
and second because it is true The in
telligent miner can do tiff his arms are
long enough. But the peach orchards
are down in the beautiful and fruitful
Walker river valley three miles from the
great copper mines.
The clever little skit is near enough to
the truth however and it takes grip on
the imagination of miners in desert
camps where water costs 81 barrel and
where an honest miner never gets taste
of fresh fruit.
That little phrase follows the line of
all the best advertising that is, or ever
was, or ever will be written-it creates
picture in the mind of every reader in.
stantly, and the picture is pleasant and
memorable and substantially true. Every
miner or prospector throughout the
thirst-haunted deserts of Nevada who
sees that phrase will have Yerington
fixed indellibly in his memory, and he'll
want to go to such pleasant camp if he
can, and if he can't go he'll want to
read everything he sees about it.
