February Health Notes

1. Don't let the, cold weather
get on your nerves. Keep your
bedroom window open and use
enough covers to keep warm.
Take hot brick or bottle of hot
water to bed if necessary. Some
day you will learn how to sleep
out Of doors and be comfortable
even in midwinter. Then life
will be worth living.
2. Hook up the team and take
the children to school the worst
days. They are as comfortable
there as at home, and every days
schooling is worth money to them.
8. Don't forget about the soda
biscuits and fried bacon. Vary
your diet as much as possible.
|. Write your State Board Of
Health for their bulletins on the
ordinary diseases and read them
during the long winter evenings.

BURNED 10 DEATH
Baby Suffered Terrible Fate in
Yuma Last Week

The six-month-old child of Mr..
and Mrs. w. M. Stanford, OF
Yuma, was burned to death Thurs
day morning of last week. Mr..
Stamford is mail carrier out from
Yuma and had gone out on his
route. Mrs. Stanford had stepped
across the street to assist a neigh
Dor in task of only a few min
utes, and had left the child lying
in a crib in front of the fire.
1t seems that a spark of fire
popped out and ignited the cloth
ing. The babe was burned to death
almost instantly. L. A. Moody
passing the house, saw the smoke
and rushed in, but the cruel flames
had accomplished their deadly
work, the child breathing only
twice after he reached it, and it
was already badly charred.
The parents were almost frantic
with grief, and were the recipients
of the heartfelt sympathy Of the
entire town and community. The
burial occurred Friday.

Big Vote

The house Tuesday passed the
Bejach bill removing the disabili-
ties of coverture of married wo-
men in the ownership and manage
ment of real estate and in making
contracts. II made a law. it will

of the wishes of her husband.
The bill was passed by vote of

the bill and that it will become a
law.

Proposed Highway May Come by
Huntingdon

The proposed transcontinental
highway route may pass through
Huntingdon. A decision as to the
route was reached Thursday of last
week at a meeting of the Southern
National Highway Commission
held at AshevilIe, N. G. The route
extends the length of the state
east and west, and it is presumed
the Bristol-to- Memphis highway
route will be followed, although
that will depend on the efforts
made along the route to comply
with the requirements.
This highway is to be from coast
to coast and efforts will be made
by its projectors to get both state
and federal aid.

DRAINAGE QUESTION
What One, Who Has Seen Its
Benefits, Has to Say

Mr.. Editor, | wish to write
something on what know Of drain
age bitches in Indiana. What |
say know to be facts. The land
drained was not far from where
my farm was situated. One of
these bitches was through what
was called the willow pond in
Spencer county, Indiana. The
water stood the year around on
this pond and nothing grew on it
but cottonwood, black willows and
bullrushes.
About fifteen years ago this
land, about 1000 acres, was worth
from so. so to $500 per acre, and
today you cannot buy it for less
than $3.50 per acre. / know of
two men who owned tracts of land
in that pond district, one having
forty acres and the other eighty.
The ditch assessment cost them
$1,000 per acre, and they had time
given them i'd which to pay the as
sessments, and in two years these
men raised crops enough on this
same land to pay off all assessments.
Before this land was drained
you could hardly raise enough on
it to pay the taxes. Today it is
las fine body of land as can be
found in the state. Before this
land was drained a person could
not sit out doors after shutdown
for the mosquitoes, and the same
pests were a torment to horses and
cattle; also a great many people
would have chills and malarial
fever. Now, through that section
Of country one seldom hears of a
chill and not one-fourth as many
cases of typhoid fever. But, I'M
derstand, ! do not mean to say that
people do not get sick with typhoid
fever in that country, for there
are some cases now, but not near
so many.
Now, there will be some people
who will not be in favor of this
ditch. 1t will be because they do
not know the benefit that will be
derived from having their land
drained so they can raise some
thing besides crawGsh and frogs.
/ do not think the crawfsh and
frogs deserve any benefit, for
the one goes down in the ground
and the other hops off.
The dredging of Beaver creek
would be worth thousands of dol
lars to the people of Carroll county
in the way of better health. 1t
would be one Of the best invest
ments that could be COTTON here.
am glad that the people are
thinking and talking on this drain
age question, but let's do not stop
at talking and thinking, but let's
get busy and see that something is
done for our lands. Let everyone
try to do something for our county
to make it better.
Hoping to hear from a number
of others on this subject, am,
Respectfully,
j. w. TURToN.

THE ANNUAL ELECTIONS
WERE HELD IN ANTVlLLE.

SACRAMENTO, Nov 5.-A great
change came over the political sit
uation in Sacramento ant circles yes
terday and judging from the number
of ants that flew out into the sunlight
after the first raineof the season, sew
eral hundred thousand new dynasties
were formed yesterday in Insectville.
II was some aviation meet that was
conducted by the insects to whom the
sluggard is sent for advice
According to accounts all over the
city there was a larger number of fly
ing ants this year than has ever been
seen before. The annual event is al
ways staged by the ants when the sun
comes out after the first rain of aut-
umn. Even in the business section
Of the city the air was filled with the
winged ants Later m the afternoon
there were portion of the city where
the ground was thick with ants kick
ing off their aeroplane attachments in
preparation for long subterranean
visit.
According to biologists the aerial ant
antics are followed by the establish
ment of new colonies. Some of the
females after the flight are unani-
elected queen by the workers
that find them and thereupon new
kingdom is formed.

CONTESTED SPOTS A MENACE
Los Anneies IS Facing Problem That
Is Common to Most Growing
American Cities.

Every city has housing problem
! which is in come respect peculiar and
characteristic. In Los Angeles this
IS to be found in prevalent type OF
house courts" writes William II.
Matthews ia the Survey The city
ordinance. providing for their regula-
ton, defines such a court as follows:
"A parcel or area of land on which
are grouped three or more habitations
used or designed to be used for oc.
.cupancy by families and upon which
parcel or area the vacant or unoc-
cupied portion thereof surrounding or
abutting on said habitations is used
or intended to be used in common by
the inhabitants thereof"
In places thus described a consid-
cradle part of the labor population of
Los Angeles lives. There are record
ed in the Office of the city's housing
commission today some $50 such
courts. Within them are roughly 300
habitatlons, housing 10000 or more
people Mexicans, Russians, Italians,
Slavonians. Austrians, Chinese, Japan
csc and a scattering of some twenty
other nationalities.
The dwellings in these courts pre-
sent a great variety in general style
and method of building There are
the old adobe houses. sometimes re-
modelled and in fair condition, though
more often with ceilings, walls and
floors in crumbling, dilapidated state
yet still yielding goodly rent to their
owners. Some courts are cluttered
with wooden shacks Of every size and
kind, big shedlike structures that
house many people, and again mere
boxes and shanties in which one fam
lily is crowded.
Some seven years ago Jacob Riis
Jared the complacency of the com
munity by stating that one district
possessed congested and unwholesome
housing conditions quite as bad,
though not SO extensive as any
city In the land. Through the
efforts of the Municipal league
and the College Settlement as
ISOLATION a housing commission was
appointed to better housing condi- |
tons.
Yet In spite Of the fact that the
housing commission has succeeded in
having demolished many of the more
of these courts. one may |
still walk many blocks in some parts
Of the city and see little else. And
this, not on the outskirts but within
a short distance of the city's public
buildings. There. too. may be found
newly constructed courts, conforming
10 the new housing laws, more esthet-
lc in appearance than were the old
ones, yet with the same congestion OF
people and even less of privacy OF
family life.
