1t is to be a public drinking fountain

Instead Of a constantly running fau-

wasted by having q stop-cock. and
what water is wasted, runs down to
a cinder-padded hole through which it
seeps. If a connection was made to
the sewer 1t is probable that eve gas
would emit from the drain pipes and
be unhealthy.

old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis

GHCTE@ENES
urday evening from diphtheria from
which the little n had been suffer
ing for several days.
The child was taken sick about ten
days ago with a throat trouble, but
her parents did not realize that it
was diphtheria and so did not summon
9 physician until Saturday night, when
she was found to be very bad. DR..
Balsom and DR.. Rinehart both re-
sponded and attempted to insert q tube
for the purpose OF. administering anti
toxin, hut the child vas already dying
and their efforts were Of no avail.
As q result OF the death Of the child
Il became necessary to fumigate the
Roosevelt and Lincoln schools, where
other children Of the Jansen family at
tended. One Of them was at the Lin
coin school and the other two at the
Roosevelt building. The rooms in
which they attended we're fumigated
yesterday noon and last evening the
buildings were fumigated again.
Some comment was caused due to
the fact that the schools were fumi-
gated before the children gathered
again. but DR.. Watkins explained the
delay by saying ut really made little
difference as all the children had al
ready been exposed and by fumigating
yesterday noon the children only
missed one-half day at school,"
The child was Inferred in the Bill
ings cemetery, the funeral being pri-
vate, because Of the nature Of the dis.
sase.
