Old Doc Wind

Old Doc Wind has a whispering voice.
He has secrets he says he'll tell
He declares that he'll make our hearts
rejoice
Keep our bodies clean and well.
He has never a powder and never a pill.
But our minds are disturN ed with doubt.
For, say what you will.
He gives you a chill.
So, old Doc Wind, keep outl
Did Doc Wind has a voice like a snore.
And they tell me his nose is blue.
When we won't let him In at the big front
door
He tries to get In at the fue.
There is never q doctor who's quite 20
bold
OF his virtues for hours he'll spout
But the bards have told
THAI bis heart Is cold.
SO. old Doc Wind, keep outl
Old Doc Winds on the outside, but
He says it's a shame and a sin
To have all the doors and windows shut
When he desires to get In.
But he whistles a tune at the front and
the back
or the house. and his heart is stout
And he says. Good lack,
can get through a crack.
And they can't keep Doc Wind outi'

SOL0NS PLAN ANOTHER GIFT
VIII Follow Precedent In Next White
House Wedding.

wedding of Miss Eleanor Wilson and
Secretary of Treasury McAdoo should
be of the most private character the
house of representatives will present
a gift to the bride equal to that 1t
gave to Mrs. Sayre last fall.

the cabinet after he becomes the
presidents son-in-law is a question

here. One report is to the effect he
will resign and accept the post of
ambassador to France, and that
Comptroller of the Currency John
Shelton Williams will be made secre-
tary OF the treasury. Mr.. Williams is
a lifelong friend of Mr.. McAdoo.

II you had typhoid fever in your
town during the year 1913 try cleaning
up your alleys, keep them clean, make
your privys fly-proof and keep the
vaults cleaned out and use chloride Of
lime in the vault, alleys and stable
yards frequently and see If you have
as much typhoid fever in 1914. 4.
Remember that clean, sparkling
good tasting water is not always pure
and safe to use. If you have no proof
that the water you use is pure and
wholesome let the State examine it.
Public water that is suspicioned Of
causing sickness is examined without
cost; when wanted for commercial rea-
sons. fee Is charged. See to the pur-
ity of the water for 1914.
Water that is contaminated can
cause typhoid fever, dysentery and di-
arrhoea, and is a frequent cause OF
summer complaint with children Make
certain of the purity of the water in
1914 and you may save sickness with
your babies. No manure piles, no
flies. Haul out and where you can't
use II as fertilizer, burn it. No flies
means little II any sickness. Rid
