among people who ventilate we'll than
among the stuffy. And there is less
pneumonia in the summer than in the
winter, because in the summer there
is free circulation of air through all
our houses.
The ideal treatment of pneumonia is
to carry the patient into the open air
and keep him there with proper pre-
cautions against the wind and wealth
er. But as this cannot always be done
the patient can at least be placed in
the largest, sunniest and best venti-
lated room in the house If possible,
room with windows on two sides is
much to be preferred to one which
can be opened only to one point of the
compass. BY a system of screening
it can always be managed that direct
current of very cold air shall not blow
right on the bed, but the air of the
room should constantly be renewed
and always cool.
OF all the cranks the fresh air
crank is the sanest and his reward in
the pneumonia sick room is rich
one.

The appalling death-rate from kid
ney disease is due in most cases to
the fact that the little kidney trou-
bles are usually neglected until they
become serious. The slight symptoms
give place to chronic disorders and
the sufferer goes gradually into the
grasp of diabetes, dropsy Bright's dis
ease, gravel or some other serious
form of kidney complaint.

FAKE TELEGRAM
CAUSES EXCITEMENT
Practical joke Set Militia Company
Members Wild With
Etn4hIIai

Enthusiasm.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: Full Of en-
thusiasm aud keen for the fray, fifty
members OF Company c yesterday af
ternoon rushed TO the armory to pre-
pare to leave Cedar Rapids for the
front in half an hour. There was
great excitement The rumor that
pany C was called to the front was
circulated throughout Cedar Rapids.
All of this excitement was caused by
fake telegram, which was sent by
a local humorist
Company c had received orders to
be ready to leave for the maneuyers
at moments notice and the boys i'm
mediately made ready to be on hand
when further orders We're received
The Jokester thought there was a
f1ne opportunity to have some fun and
sent telegram to one of Che officers
ordering him to assemble his men and
leave Immediately
In a few minutes the officer had his
mon in the armory. The fact that an
authentic telegram had been received
few hours before caused the officer
to take the fake" message seriously,
and he got his men out before any
suspicion as to the order entered his
mind. Had Adjutant General Guy Lo-
gan been in Cedar Rapids to see the
lcitizen-soldiers rushing to headquar-
tiers to pull out for the scene of bat
tie it is certain that he would have
felt very proud for the way the boys
assembled and the enthusiasm that
was in their eyes proved that they
are the real thing when it comes to
fighting
When no more orders appeared the
officers and men became suspicious
and learned that some one had played
|. a joke.
And it may prove costly bit OF
fun. The officers today could not say
what action would be taken against
the fellow who admitted having sent
the telegram.

A coming attraction at the
Grand will be Joseph Nj. Gaites'
newest musical production Katy
Did," musical version of the
popular farce My Friend From
India by W. G. Duncan and
Frank Smithson, with music by Karl
Hoschna, the famous composer of
Three Twins" Bright Eyes The
Girl of My Dreams" Madame Sner-
ry9 and other successful musical
plays.
The play tells the story Of Erastus
Underholt and his two daughters
Katie and Gertie, who leave their
home in Kansas City with the inten-
ton of forcing New York City TO ac-
cept them on account of Underholt's
millions. They live in magnificent
home overlooking the Hudson. To this
home, his son Tom, after a night S
frolic is brought by barber, who
in order to hide Toms escapade. is in
troduced as an Indian mystic. Under
holt and his daughters believing that
the Hindu will assist in their cam
paign, to conquer society at once ac-
cept him, and the comedy element
comes through the BARRIERS imperson-
alton of the mystic and the sudden
appearance of various impersonated
persons.
The play is in two acts the first
showing a room in Underholt's New
York home, and the second showing
the garden of the house overlooking
the Hudson. Both scenes are very
elaborate.
The company which Mr. Gates has
engaged is headed by Adelaide, the
famous American dancer, assisted by
j. ]. Hughes and May Vokes, who
will be seen in her original role of
Tilly, which character she played sue
cessfully in the original farce. Others
in the cast are Clarence Harvey, Bert
Baker, Freddie Nice, Florence May,
Josie Intropodi. Anna Wilkes, Violet
Colby, Jed Prouty and D. w. Merket.
The chorus is large and of the usual
Gates variety. Mr.. Hoschna's princi-
pal musical numbers for the new play
include "In The Swim" Out With the
Owl" Come Little Closer. II Met
My Girl Save up Your Kisses for a
Rainy Day." Dear Old Homeland"
and others.
Mr.. Gates has costumed the new
play layishly and has introduced a
number of mechanical and electrical
novelties.

break OF infantile paralysis in the south
western part OF the county. near Rhodes

opinion OF the attending physician and
the state Board OF Health that the
disease has been spread by flies that
have Toasted on the unburned carasses OF
dead chickens which died OF the disease
That the disease Is prevalent among

state IL the statement OF the officers of

Four-year-old Elizabeth wignall is dead
and there are seven other cases in five
other families. The attending physician
is authority for the statement that fully
1000 chickens in the afflicted neighbor-
hood have died. But the disease has not
been limited alone to them. Fifteen or
twenty pigs in the same neighborhood
have shown symptoms Of the disease and
some OF them have died. In one instance
a calf was stricken and died, but as far
the disease has only appeared among
the young animals, the older ones SEEM

While one or two OF the sick children
are considered to be in a grave condi-
ton 1t is thought that the worst OF the
