WARNING TO MOTHERS.

complex organ that the greatest care
should be taken in any kind of treat
ment which it has to undergo, even In
the necessary cleansing operations.
The formation of wax In the ears is
often very troublesome, and If it be-
comes hard some drops of warm oil
should be poured into the ear at night
and a little cotton wool inserted. This
will soften the wax, which can then
easily be removed next day by syring-
ing with a soapy liquid. The syring-
ing, however, requires to be done with
very great care, lest the stream of wa
ter should be projected with too great
violence and thus injure the drum of
the ear.
Children's ears should be treated
much more gently than they often are
by nurses. The very common habit of
twisting up a towel into a sharp point
and inserting 1t in the ear to clean it is
a very dangerous one and should never
be practiced, as the sharp point may
penetrate too far. Only the softest
rags should be used for cleaning the
ears and nothing hard ever inserted be-
yond a certain distance. In China and
Japan ladies remove the wax with an
ear scoop, which, however, has a bead
fixed at a proper distance to prevent
the instrument penetrating too far.
1t is almost as rare to see perfectly
shaped, small ears, lying close and fat
to the head, az to see a perfect nose.
Precautions should be taken with in
fants to prevent them rolling the ear
back when asleep, a habit which re-
suits In the ears standing right out
from the head. A light bandage over
the ears when a child is put to bed
will obviate any chance of this occur
ring, and care should also be taken
when dressing them to go out that
bonnets and caps are not allowed to
get behind the ears and so force them
out from the head.
Nothing is more distressing than
singing in the ears, which is usually
due to a defect of the middle ear. A
cooling application to the back of the
head and neck will sometimes relieve
these symptoms, but it is often due to
the accumulation Of wax to which we
have already alluded.
Deafness is due to so many cause
that an aurist should be consulted on
the very first symptoms, as something
may possibly be done at the beginning
to cure the evil.
The possession of an external a
shell is shared with us by the higher
anthropoid apes. Our ape progenitors
were provided with a muscular ap-
paratus. by which the ear could be
turned to all sides and erected in order
to hear and guard against enemies.
Many animals, such as horses, dogs
and rabbits, can prick their ears. Al
though mar still possesses these mus
cles, they are now ~unimportant, but
some people still occasionally have the
power of moving the ear backward
and forward, but are unable to erect 1t.

When reading this placard which vetoed

But Polly slept sweetly. for no thunder

OF cannon terrific awoke her at four.
Twas late when she rose. with supreme

Preparing herself for a day of inaction.
For how could she work-the house dark

And mercury going way up like a rocket
But when perspiration meant peace and
protection
She felt she could stand it with little OBJ

So all day long in the darkness and heat
She sweltered and worried, while outside
the sweet,
Ripe fragrance of summer pervaded the

The birds gave their concerts. all nature

While never a gun, a torpedo nor pistol
The ghost of a sound woke In solemn old

author runs riot of fun among the
characters of this typical country

Tho Soda Fountain and the Public in
the Winter Months.
Some time ago a druggist was called
upon for hot soda. He replied that he
did not operate his fountain in the
winter time. When asked why he re-
marked that to do so was simply an
accomm odation to the. public-no mon
ey in it for him.
We keep our fountain in operation
winter as well as summer, serving now
both hot and cold drinks. We agree
with the druggist who made the above
remark in some respects, but not I'll.
We believe that it is an accommoda-
ton. That cannot be questioned, but at
the same time it pays us to do so. The
reason is because I'VE take equally as
much pleasure in trying to please by
good drinks and prompt service at this
season Of the year as in midsummer.
Our efforts are appreciated, making it
possible not only to accommodate the
public, but to put our soda business
on a paying basis. We find it pays 10

in all lines. Come and see us. We will

County Medical Society to Sub,
nit Propositions to Board
of Supervisors
ADVERTISING FOR BIDS HELD UP
Supervisor. Postpone Action in Con-
nection With Dootorins the Poor
Until Medical Society Is Ready to
Submit Its PIan-Medical Society
Has Two Methods Under Amusement.

There is a possibility that the coun-
tvs plan of doctoring its poor will un-
dergo radical change within a short
time. The Marshall County Medical
society has come forward, thru its Sec
rotary, DR. r. P. Lierle, and has Of
fered to submit a proposition to the SUI
peryisors for this work. In view of the
fact that this proposal is to he made
the supervisors have postponed adver-
Using for bids for doctoring the poor
until the February meeting.
At that time the medical society. CT
perhaps more properly speaking the in
dividual doctors Of the county, will or
fer to enter into an agreement with
the board for this service.
Whether or not the offer that Is 20
be made will be accepted by the board,
depends on the supervisors.
Doctors Considering Two Methods.
The doctors of the county, and .s-
pecially those Of the city who meet
frequently, have discussed the
medical care of the poor, since
the developments of few weeks ago
brought this phase Of the county's af-
fairs to the attention of the public. The
result of this discussion has brought
about the suggestion of two plans, and
and submitted to the supervisors. ~
Nt~1 "a ~
sidered by some of the doctors to be
the more feasible and satisfactory of
the two, is for all of the doctors of the
county to offer to answer calls from the
poor for one third less than Is ordin-
arily charged. These calls would be
made under the direct supervision Ut
the overseer Of the poor. The county
would pay the bills.
The second method is the one now
in force In Hardin county. The medical
society of that county takes the coun-
ty work for $500 year. Most of the
calls are turned over to a physician.
whose business Is limited. The medical
society pays him q stipulated sum for
each call.
Doctors realize, however, that there
are objections to this plan. One is that
the overseeing of this work would fall
entirely upon some officer, presumably
the secretary Of the medical society,
and that the medical society would Of
course, be held responsible for the
faithful performance of the duties in
trusted to the doctor who made the
calls.
Poor Farm Work Separated.
1t is probable that the doctors,
whichever plan is proposed, will ask
that the work at the poor farm will. Of
a necessity, be eliminated from either
This is because this insti-
tuition requires the visits Of a physician
at stated times every week, owing 70

Slight.
Ernest Pepper, SIG North Second
street, well-known rural mail carrier
out of this city, is very dangerously
sick at his home OF cerebro spinal
meningitis. His attack was sudden,
and on Wednesday he made his usual
long drive over his route, No. /, north
Of the city.
For the first time in the west the
Flexner serum for spinal meningitis
was used in this city in Peppers case
Thursday night. A physician who was
called into the case for the first time
at o'clock Thursday evening. found
the patient absolutely pulseless, and
did not think he could live an hour.
Consultation with three other doctors
was asked, and the result was the trial
Of the serum.
From the spinal canal Of the patient
the spinal fluid was drawn with an as
pirating needle. So near dead was the
patient that the deep prick of the
needle was not felt Thru the same
needle, without withdrawing It, thirty
cubic centimeters Of serum were in
jected. Within short time the pa
TENTS temperature began to fall
steadily, and dropped from 103 to 100
degrees. ! This morning his condition
was improved, but still 1t Is consid-
cred that his chances for recovery are
slight. The patient is unconscious, and
has been since noon Thursday A sec
ond injection Of the serum will be made
this afternoon or evening.
Like most cases Of cerebro spinal
meningitis there is no way Of determ-
lining how or where Mr.. Pepper re-
ceived the Infection that produces the
generally malady. His route runs
thru Prairieville, where child sudden
ly died from the disease a. few weeks
ago, but this does not necessarily i'm
ply that the infection was contracted
in this way. 1t is said that Mr.. Pepper
neither saw this child, nor carried any
mail from the house during the babes
illness.
