Weston, Ocean to Ocean Walker

Said recently: when You feel down and
out, feel there is no use living, just take your
bad thoughts with you and walk them off. Be-
fore you have walked a mile things will look
roster. Just try it." Have you noticed the
Increase in walking of late in every com
munityf Many attribute 1t to the comfort
which Aliens Foot-Ease, the antiseptic powder
to be shaken int the shoes, gives to the

he LONGS TO RETURN
S. L. Hagy Has Been Unable to
Find as Good a Place as
the San Luis Valley.

.. Il. I1dSy. WHO Will De relneln =
bered by our people as one of the
best jewellers the town ever pos
sessed and who left here in
January for Vernon, Texas, to
locate, in writing to b. l.. Van
Vechten has the following to say
\ concerning his opinion of the val
ley as compared to his present
location, as well as other states in
which he has lived:
Last night during an electric
storm the tightening struck our
house just over my head. My boy,
Arthur, was in the bed sleeping
with me. That we are alive this
morning l attribute to kind
Providence in whom we trust. 1t
did no damage beyond knocking
off half-dozen shingles, a half
yard of plastering, and burning
out the electric light wire, leav-
ing us in the dark in our misery.
Fortunately we had hand lamp
which we put into use.
"The storms have been very
severe the past two weeks and from
all indications this morning they
are not yet ended.
Il have been much interested in
the articles appearing in the last
two issues of The Chronicle re.
garding the attacks some Denver
papers have been making on the
valley.
Let me say that from an agri-
cultural point of view the valley
has this country skinned a mile
The relative ratio of products in
the valley and here is about five TO
one. There are wealthy farmers
and merchants here but they made
it mainly in cheap lands, rising
in value.
"They plant large acreages. 200
to 400 acres are the usual size of
the fields of corn, cotton or wheat.
Corn runs about % bushels to the
acre and wheat 10 or II bushels
per acre, other products in pro-
portion.
Il was speaking to Mr.. Eakle
who is selling Moffat, Colo, shares
in drawing and was modest
enough to state that that the valley
land would not suffer in compari-
son with this Texas land and what
Mr.. Eakle said III not indite here.
Let me state, however, that the
language was more forcible than
elegant.
I'VE are all moderately well at
the present writing and will say
that we long for the mountains,
the good water and genial good
hearted people of the valley.
"Agriculturaily, the valley, in
my humble judgment, is the best
of any section in which l ever
lived, and l have lived in the best
parts of Ohio, Illinois, Nebraska
and Iowa.
II am yours sincerely,

PLUMBERS ASK
FOR QUIZ BOARD
Think Pipe Workers Should
be Examined Before Get
ting License
INSPECTOR KANE OBJECTS
TO MASTERS PLANS

The Street and Sewer Directors In
weekly session this morning gave a
hearing to a committee Of the Master
Plumbers Association as 10 a revision
of the plumbing laws. The plumbers
especially desire the appointment OF a
board Of examiners for the granting
OF master plumbers licenses.
The plumbers assert that nearly
every city Of Wilmington's size has
such a board. II is proposed that the
board consist Of three master plumb
ers. an architect and the plumbing in
spector.
The plumbers say the Street and
Sewer Directors have full legal power
TO appoint such board. and give as
surance that master plumbers would
serve without compensation. As a
matter OF fact. the directors could not,
under the law. provide compensation,
this creating a subordinate board.
After considerable discussion. the
directors promised to further consider
the request.
Plumbing Inspector Kane, after the
committee had left. opposed the ap-
pointment OF a board Of examiners on
the ground that IL would result In a
"close corporation" and the raising Of
plumbers wages. He feared that an
examining board would eliminate APP
prenticing. and thought regulation OF
the apprentioing system more appro-
pirate.

Street Directors Will Inspect
Baltimore Conduit System
Before Acting
CITY TO OWN SYSTEM;
CORPORATIONS TO RENT

The Street and Sewer Directors have
become so far convinced Of the neces-
sity OF a conduit system for telephone
and telegraph wires here that they
win visit Baltimore soon 10 inspect the
conduit system there. Such informay-
tion as they obtain at Baltimore will
be used for the municipal conduit sys-
tenn they propose ultimately to install
in Wilmington.
The inspection will be the first de-
cided step toward the burial OF tho
network Of telephone and telegraph
wires and the elimination OF the hun
dreds of unsightly poles that mar Will
mington's most attractive streets. The
idea includes the purchase Of the con-
duits already installed by the local
telephone companies and the construc-
tion OF others by the city to be rented
by the corporations maintaining wire
communication.
The inspection Of the system at
Baltimore will be TO obtain an idea OF
it's practicability. OF the rental charg-
ed and OF the expense of installation
and maintainence. These factors will.
Of course, determine whether the in
stallation of a system here shall be
undertaken In the near future or will
remain mere ultimate probability

increased intensity as the enthusiasm

After several suggestions as to the
best means Of stopping the cries OF the
bear, the Rev. c. L. Morrill,, pastor Of

TWO SONS DEAD
WITHIN TWO DAYS
Physician Diagnosed Cases,
Then Given Christian
Science Treatment

Within two days Of each other. Ed
ward NJ. John and Harold John. sons
of Mr.. and Mrs Charles d. John of
NO. 1921 West Fifth street. died OF
acute tonsilitis The funeral of Ed
ward, aged fourteen, who died on Sat
urday last, was held yesterday and
the funeral of Harold, aged twelve. who
died on Thursday last, was held on
Saturday the day on which his brother
died.
Mr.. and Mrs. John, parents of the
children, are Christian Scientists. and
while a physician was called in and
diagnosed the cases, they were treated
by Christian Science and not prescrib-
ed for by the physician.
Residents in the neighborhood of
Fifth and Franklin streets are much
agitated over the deaths of the chill
dren' and they have caused much talk
there. One Of the principal causes for
the agitation has been a report that
the children died of diphtherla, but it
Is known that the children had no con-
tagious disease. for an examination was
made at the State Laboratory showing
that there was no diphtheria
The John children have been delicate
for many years, and about two weeks
ago both contracted tonsilitis. A ply
sician was called in TO see the chill
dren on October 26, and continued to
see them until the end, but says he
did not prescribe for them.
I was called in on October g." said
the physician, and saw the children
at least eight times. I saw them twice
on some days. I diagnosed the cases,
but did not prescribe for the children.
One had acute tonsilitis that developed
/ into bronchial pneumonia and the
other acute tonsilitis with complications
of nephritis and toXaemia, a serious
condition. There was no contagious
disease, for I sent samples of the spu-
tum to the State Laboratory and che
examination showed no contagious dis
ease"
The certificates OF death filed with
the Board Of Health were made out by
the physician and show the cause OF
death Of Edward John to be acute ton
silitis followed by bronchial pneu-
imonia,- and Of Harold TO be acute
ltonsilitis."
A Christian Scientist familiar with
the cases today said: "The parents OF
the children are Christian Scientists
and II was but natural that they should
have that treatment for the children
The children have been delicate fol
years and since they went under Chris
tian Science treatment they showed
much improvement Both were strick-
en- with tonsilitis about the same time
and a practitioner was called in e
treat them. The physician also was
called in TO Diagnose the cases to make
sure there was no contagfon and
think it was at the suggestion Of tn,
practitioner that the physician sent tn,
sputum TO the State Laboratory to b'
Examined. 7 understand that they were
very serious cases with complications
