ToNoPAH HIKER PROVING TO
BE UNWELCONE GUEST

Mrs. Edna Blumstrum, the woman
who claims to have walked from
Tonopah to this city to visit her
children who are in the Orphans
Home is now in the city Jail and is
a problem which the officers are try
ing hard to solve. She is a notorious
character of the southern section
who has thrown herself upon this
community. Her actions are such
that she is menace to society and
is held for being drunk and disorder
ly. Her husband was killed ia min
ing accident in the southern section
some months ago and she became heir
to five thousand dollars through the
working of the Industrial Insurance
law. The people of the southern Sec
tion were forced through the woman 8
actions to take her children from her
and place them in the Orphans Home.
When the money became due, the
authorities took the matter up and
had guardian appointed for her.
The guardian refuses to turn the
money over to her to be wasted in
riotous living and as consequence
she is indignant and will not return
to Tonopah where she belongs. At
the present time she is in Jail and it
is hard to tell what will become of
her.-Carson News.

RYANISSUFSWARN
ing TO VOTERS

1t has just come to my knowledge
that certain card, reflecting upon
my conduct of the Office of Mine In
speetor of the State of Nevada has
been sent through the mails to voters
of this state on this, the very eve of
the primary election.
The card is in plain violation of
section "a of the act of the Nevada
Legislature, passed in 1918, pertaining
to purity of elections, in that it does
not set forth the address or the auth
or, nor the name and address of the
printer and publisher thereof, all of
which is required by the section men
toned.
The card also contains false state
ments, and such must be known to its
author from the fact that in violation
of law he conceals his identity, in the
hope of evading justice.
I have been Mine Inspector of this
state for four years, and during that
time have labored untiringly to fully
and fairly perform the duties of that
Office, and if reelected, it is my pur-
pose to continue to give my time and
most earnest effort to the service of
the people Of the state as Mine In
spector. ] look upon the conduct of
the person or persons publishing the
card referred to at this, the eleventh
hour, as being reprehensible in the
extreme, and ! charge that such per-
son or persons, whoever they may be,
are unwilling to conduct fair and
open campaign which ! desire to and
am conducting.

He is being deluged with letters
from people in all parts of the United
States and Canada, many of the writ
ers being anxious to obtain further
information of the exact method of
obtaining babies by suggestion.
He says he don't know that he can

BRINGING UP THE BABY
TEN THINGS to- DO

-
Give breast feelings, if possible, for
a year.
Secure medical advice as to the
necessity and quality of bottle feed
ings.
Use pure milk, suitably prepared.
After the first year start gradually
with the proper solid food.
Feed at regular intervals at any
age.
Allow fresh air, night and day, and
sunshine.
Use proper and comfortable cloth
ing.
Observe cleanliness, including daily
bath and especial care of eyes ears
and nose.
Permit sufficient sleep at regular
hours.
Maintain good discipline and train
ing.
NATE AND KATE
Nate he came a-wooing Kate:
Kate, the shrew, was obstinate.
But Nate was great to placate Kate,
She had for Nate no innate hate;
So Nate she couldn't dominate,
And Kate he did domesti-cate.

TEN THINGS TO AVOID

Nursing the baby whenever it
cries and taking the baby into the
mothers bed and letting it nurse all
night.
Giving food and caring for the baby
according to the advice of your neigh
bors.
Nursing the baby-or giving the
bottle exclusively--for longer per-
iod than one year. This causes
anaemia, ricketts, and other forms of
malnutrition.
Feeding indigestible food.
Giving too many sweets.
Eating between meals.
Over-dressing baby in heated
apartments.
Having the baby's clothing too
tight. -...
Improper air-keepis1g the child in
doors and having windows closed at
night.
o.
If a tin pan with screen bottom is
used in washing cherries, currants,
grapes, raisins and such things it will
save one the time used to change
them from one water to another, as
it can be held under the spigot and
shaken and all loose dirt will wash
through.

Congressman Falconer has been TAX

moneyed interests of the state, or, in
other words, under the control of one
of the parties to the controversy"
