PNEUMONIA.
Fresh Air Is the Best Cure Well
rs the Best Preventive.

Fresh Air Is the Best Cure Well
rs the Best Preventive.
The most effective weapon with
which to fight pneumonia is fresh air,
real fresh air, and lots of it.
The fact that pneumonia might be
called simply shutting off of oxygen
shows how important it is to give the
patient plenty of air. In one large New
York hospital sufferers from the dis
ease are carried TO the roof and kept
there day and night. When your child
grows Ill, move it to the largest and
sunniest room in the house and open
the windows. If 1t is too cold for that,
have another room near by into which
the patient may be moved at least three
times a day to permit a thorough ven
tilation of the sick room. All unnec-
essary furniture and all pictures, hang
ings and other impedimenta should be
taken out of both rooms.
An attack of pneumonia begins in a
manner which suggests very bad cold.
The patient has a chill and fever and
suffers from pains in the side. A cough
soon appears, and the breath becomes
short and quick. The valiant battle of
the overworked heart is indicated by
quick pulse and flushed cheeks. Soon
there are signs of great exhaustion,
with headache, sleeplessness and
(sometimes) delirium.
During all of this period the blood
is waglng tremendous war upon the
invading germs. If 1t is destined to
lose, the exhaustion will grow more and
more marked, and the patient will die.
But if 1t is destined TO win there Will
come a time-it will be between the
fifth and the tenth day-when the pa
tent will suddenly seem brighter The
temperature will fall, the breathing will
be more regular, and the violent jump
ing OF the pulse will cease. When this
happens, it is sign that the battle is

CHAPTER ".

/
The funeral was over. Mr.. Drummond
as indeed his relationship permitted. was
one of the principal mourners. Consider
ing that he had not seen Mr.. Conrad for
| five years preceding his death, nor during
that time communicated with him in any
way, he appeared to be very much over
come by grief lie kept his eyes covered
with a large white handkerchief, and his
movements indicated suppressed agitation.
| He felt that this was a tribute due to a
cousin who had left over one hundred
thousand dollars. When they had return
ed from the grave he managed to have a
word with Walter.
"Have you decided to accept my offer,
and make your home beneath my humble
roofT' be asked
''There has been no time to consult with
my friends here, Mr.. Drummond. / will
let you know next week. l thank you at
any rate for your kindness"
do come, Walter. said his cousin
twisting his mean features into an affec-
Tomato smile. with you beneath my
humble roof, shall want nothing to com
plete my happiness"
Jacob Drummond went back to Staple
ton ignorant of the state of Mr.. Conrad's
affairs and regarding Walter as boy of
great wealth.
When the viii was opened it was found
to bear date two years back, before Mr..
Conrad had plunged into the speculation
which had proved so disastrous to him.
He bequeathed all the property which he
did possess to Walter, with the exception
b.,uIral Io11orc tr-bfoh laft
as a legacy to his faithful housekeeper,
Nancy Forbes. At the time the will was
made, its provisions made Walter heir to
a large fortune. Now it was quite uncer-
tain how things would turn out. Clement
Shaw. the village lawyer, an honest and
upright man, was made executor, being an
old and tried friend of the deceased.
With his Walter had long and conf
Dental conversation, imparting to him
what be knew of his fathers mining spec
ulation and its disastrous result, with its
probable effect in accelerating his death.

may, perhaps, swallow up the whole prop

Let us hope not. Indeed, l can hardly
believe that your father would have ven
tured in so deep as that.
He had every confidence in the COM

Many farmers are crossing the line
OF the United States into the western
provinces OF Canada. The movement
has attracted widespread attention. 1t
has been encouraged by systematic
work Of publicity and promotion. The
boomer has used all sorts OF adyertis-
Ing devices 70 emphasize the advan-
tages OF the new country. That his ser
vices have been effective Is undoubted.
II Canadian figures are reliable sew
eral hundred thousand people have
moved from the United States to these
provinces since 1900. There Is a steady
movement Of population In the other
direction also. New England is fill
Ing UP with immigrants from Canada.
They are crowding the mill towns and
are also occupying the farms once own
ed by the descendants Of Pilgrim and
Puritan. The old towns show the loss
OF names once common and the pres
ence Of families OF entirely different
origin. These Canadian French settlers
are changing rural conditions In New
England completely. The fact OF their
steady Increase is as apparent and, in
a way, as striking as is that of the
other migration In the Northwest.
There Is another movement from Can
ada OF men of business instincts rather
than Of agricultural or industrial ten
denotes. How great the volume Of
this steady flow b uncertain. But 1t is
matter of common observation that
many Canadian clerks are at work in
the United States. Only casual glance
Is needed to show that a good proper
tlon of these follow up their migration
to the South by seeking American clti-
zenship. The outflow Of population is
more spectacular than the inflow. 1t
causes alarm In the minds of many be-
cause 1t Is the same sort of movement
that accomplished so much in the de
velopment of the United States The
west" in changing localities was
largely built up by settlers from the
east" this latter term also being a
one. Because. of the knowledge
of this splendid citizenship which is
being lost Americans regret the rest
less search for new lands is carrying
the pioneers across the border into
Canada. 1t is the regret manifested
by Gov. Morris when speaking Of the
eastern opposition to the Louisiana
purchase. He pictured the exuberant
population of the Eastern States flow
Ing in a steady stream into the west
ern wilderness He declared that IL
that country were neglected or permit
ted to pass into the hands of a for
eign power the fairest hope of poster
ty would be destroyed. The loss of
good American stock is to be regretted.
But the movement means progress. 1t
means harmonious relationships be
-ween the Northwestern States and the
Canadian Northwest. 1t means devel-
ypment of a new region by splendid
,itizens. 1t means betterment Of condi-
ions by those whose fathers and grand
'athers sought the same thing by west
I'm migration. In this instance the
United States loses as the older States
ost before
