GIRL TURNS
TO RAINBOW
One of the Most Peculiar Dis
eases Ever Observed by the
Medical World--Every
Color ofRainbow on
Her Body.

New York. Feb. 2o.-(special)-
Suffering from one of the rare affec-
tions that mankind is heir to all
over the world. but which so far
as the physicians at Bellevue know
never has been known to attack a
child in this country, Mary L. Eig-
holz. three years old. is in the chill
dren's ward.
The girls body is frescoed every
color of the rainbow. These strange
figures in some cases take the form
OF roughly drawn birds and animals.
some look like pinwheels in action
while there are streaks that are as
beautifully varicolored as a rainbow.
With the change of the climatic
conditions these spots upon the child
change In the bright sunshine they
grow brighter. and when there is
much moisture in the colors become
dull.
The aliction from which the little
one is suffering is diagnosed by med
ical men as purpura haemorrhagica.
and is attributed to a germ in the
blood that causes rheumatism. This
germ, it is declared by some scien-
lists, discolors the pigment of the
skin through the blood, and. follow
ing the capillary system, is respon-
sible for the apparent scrollwork in
oolors that appears upon the body.
The little patient was taken to the
Hospital on February { by her mother
from her home, No. sol West One
Hundred and Fiftieth street and ad-
mitted into the childrens ward.
which is in charge of DR.. Davenport
White.
The child did not appear to be in
any particular pain. She ate quite
heartily and showed a disposition to
play with the other children. by
whom she was regarded as cur
iosity. They dropped their rag dolls
and other playthings to watch the
little stranger so oddly colored
Mrs Eigholz, questioned by DR..
Davenport, who was anxious to get
as much of the history Of the case as
possible. said that neither she nor her
husband had ever had touch of
rheumatism, and that both are
healthy.
Mrs Eigholz remembered later
that the grandmother of the
child had suffered excruciatingly
from rheumatism, but never had
been affected in the manner in which
the child is.
While cases of rheumatic rash are
not uncommon, and these rashes at
times show tendency toward shades
of red running into purple, cases of
the character OF the kind of the little
sufferer in Bellevue are rare.
Since the patient was admitted,
five weeks ago. most of the visiting
physicians to the hospital have seen
her. and all are puzzled. The course
of treatment laid down is one for the
building up by tonics of the impov-
erished blood and then local treat
ment and the ordinary treatment for
rheumatism.
Thus far little progress has been
made When the discolorations were
growing DINNER, as it was thought,
the sun reappeared and the colors
and figures became more pronounced
than ever

lines. Circumstances over which
he had no control, made life
rocky" for him in his beginning
and an extensive, sharp, biting
contact with men in business
lines and in the courts has not
tended to brighten his later view
of things.
While thus admitting his incli-
nation toward pessimism, as the
word is commonly understood,
rather than optimism, The News
man does not wish to be taken as
falling out with mankind in gen
eral. or as holding to the frequent
ly expressed opinion that the
world is getting worse for, on
the contrary, he believes with all
his heart that as the nations of
the earth improve in knowledge
they get better. There has been

die Colleges" under present con
ditions, waterworkS and sewer
age systems for Plains towns
with less than 5000 population
and standard gauge railroads
without trunk line business rela-
tons. For this opinion and for
the further reason that The News

ing little use for the average
gold plated promoter he was
dubbed pessimist. And, if the
charge fits the facts, as stated,
he is.

SPECULATING TOO MUCH.

Little minds are always fiat
tered when their opinions are
shared in by those in high places.
The News on divers occasions
and sometime ago pointed out
the tendency of the times with
regard to the almost consuming
mania for speculation or gam
bling, to its causes and to its
sure call for a day of reckoning.
In a recent issue, referring to
this prediction, The News said
this day of accounting had come.
Several of the great dailieS are
now taking exactly the same
view of the situation. The Dial
las News, conservative and gen
orally clear sighted on such mat
ters. says:
The tinancierS Of the country
are now discussing the cause Of
the stringency in the money mar
ket They differ, but few of them
even mention the true cause.
That cause is that We have been
specializing too much for the past
few years. AS long as the spirit
of gambling and speculation en-
tiers largely into business affairs,
so long there are going to be de-
pressiOns.
In thus quoting its great name
sake The Canyon City News does
not claim that great minds run
together but only that great
truths can and do frequently
come out of small things and that
the backing of a big nabor, such
as the Dallas News, is highly APP
preciated.

ABOUT SANITARY REGULATIONS

The want of proper sanitary
regulations for Canyon City and
the difficulties to be encountered
Herewith has bothered Mayor
Haney for some time He has
written to several having expert
ence with such things and from
the mayor of his old home town,
Weatherford, has received a re-
ply as follows:
Ny DEAR Mr.. HANEY:
| am in receipt your good IA
vor of September 9th and beg to
state in reply that we have solved
the sanitary conditions of our
city by the completion Of sewer
system with septic tanks and as
soon as all the necessary connec-
tons have been made we can just
ly claim of having the cleanest,
healthiest and prettiest city in
Texas. Without a sewer system
it is very difficult to arouse the
citizenship to observing sanitary
laws. During my administration
as mayor / have had the council
to authorize me employing san
itary officer during the summer
months. This sanitary officer
was instructed to examine all the
alleys, closets, back yards, in
fact every place where attention
was required and notify the par
ties to clean up, use disinfectants,
etc, and a failure to do so, the
sanitary officer was instructed to
file complaint in the Corpora
ton Court. BY this means we
have had a general cleaning up
every summer. In addition we
have a scavenger who cleans up
the square and the cutters on
the main streets daily, for which
we pay him SO monthly. This
is about all the information | can
impart to you on the subject.
Wishing you successful adj
ministration of affairs, am, with
best regards and all good wishes,
Yours very truly,
HENRY MILLER,
Mayor.
Our citizens will soon be called
upon to adopt and carry out some
system of sewerage sanitation.
Let every one think seriously and
kick before and not after the
plan is adopted. Speak out.

Using and commercial printing
as to make the issue Of such a pa

but profitable. And The Brand "
in return is filing the bill, pay
ing not only measure for meas

received, but bringing to the in
vestors its patrons-large re-
turns in the way Of interest.
Hereford, thru the excellence
of THE Brand, has been favor
ably mentioned not only in Press
Associations but in newspapers
all over the land and always with
good effects. 1t was so while Joe
