ty Sufferers in State.

Pneumonia, the disease that has
killed more Kansans in the last twelve
months than any other one disease, is
leaving its path of funeral process
sions over the state this month. The
disease is widespread, it Is in q typical
serious form and has brought out a
warning from the state board of

Pneumonia IL flourishing in the

counties, with Sedgwick county a
close third.
In his warning today DIR. Crumbine
points out three things that invite the
disease excessive drinking Of alco-
holfc liquors, unusual exposure to ex-
treme weather and exposure Of old
persons or persons suffering from
state. speaking from a liquor stand
point, the winter has been mild with
out extreme weather and not all suf-
ferers and victims are old-therefore
the warning points out with addi-
tional importance, the mysterious ma
OA6C46C
which persons should avoid it.
The germs of pneumonia get into
the lungs through the mouth. but not
every man who has the germs will
have pneumonia, DIR. Crumbine says,
1t IL when the system is run down
that the germs get in their work and
carry tie patient to the deathbed.
In his list of warnings. DR.. Crum
bine gives out the following advice:
1. Do not drink alcoholic liquors.
2. Dress warmly. but not too
thickly.
3. Do not needlessly expose your
self.
4. Have abundant fresh air in your
living and sleeping rooms.
s. Do not have your rooms too hot
| and then go into the open air unpro-
tected by wraps.
| 6. II exposed to extreme or rough
weather. and wet or numb, undress in
a warm room. rub off with a rough
towel until the skin gIows, then go to
bed and stay there several hours
z. Avoid overeating and keep the
bowels open.
8. Keep your feet warm and your
| head cool
| 3. A moderate amount of brisk ex-
ercise in the outdoor air daily.

III IS / STRANGE CONDITION

George A. Neeley- -in-law Of

Such Is the apparently reliable dope
among state politicians who are In

Kansas Stubbs may make public hts
endorsement Of Capper at an early
date. It may be deferred. All will
depend ON the decision Of the har-
mony promoters as to the proper mo-
ment to make public Stubbs' declara-
ton and throw the greatest scare In
the ranks Of the Progressives.
For some time it has been report

at the proper time" Now it is ap-
parently a certainty that the former
governor is to come out in the open

CHERRY PACKERS ARE
 BOOKED AT ROYAL

The New York critics after review ing The Cherry Pickers," booked at the Royal Theater today have the following to say. This is a strong splendidly visualized version of the play of the same name, that has been SO popular on Broadway and through out the country. To say it is well done by an all-star cast is speaking mildly One forgets in viewing that it is picture. and when it is done realizes he is on the edge of the seat
 When the New York critics speak in such glowing termes of produc- ton it is safe to say it is well up 10 the standard and well worth go- ing to see.
 In addition to this masterpiece, the Royal will present to day 'Pathe Weekly" CNo. 3D. which is always in- teresung to an who take an interest in the topics of the day.
 The program closes with 8 hiiari- ous Western comedy. Slippery Slim land the Stork." The Essanay Comedy Company is noted for good clean comedy and this is one of their very best bills" and is sure to put every one in good humor

MURPHY ON THE TRAIL FINDS OLD SUPPORTERS LINED UP IN HIS CAUSE
Veteran Wheel Horse of the
 Democracy Is Candidate For Return to the County Seat.

Judge owen Murphy, war horse ot democracy in Cochise county. and less faithful and active in the cause now than in many years gone by, left last evening for Douglas following a few days in this district mingling among his many old-time friends.
 Along that line it may be inci- dentally mentioned that there is probably no man who comes to the Warren district who receives the handshake from as many persons in a given length of time as does Judge Murphy. They all know him. Also they all like him. Mighty popular is the judge.
 His acquaintance dates from the days when he used to pack a bucket to and from shift and in those days there was no hearuer nod hardier man in the district than Owen Mur- phy. miner Then there came @ day when they carried him from under ground and when he left the hospital there was less of him than before A matter of a leg was missing.
 Later on Murphy became Justice of the Peace at Lowell. being the di- rect official of the sort that the town thad It was a walkaway for him as long as he wanted the office Then . his friends concluded that he ought l to go to Tombstone. and they made him County Recorder The Tomb stone climate has been kindly 10 the judge and he has a notion of remain. ling there a while longer
 In the last sentence is explained ] the presence of the judge in Bisbee and his visit to Douglas He is out reminding bis friends that he desires ] to be reelected County Recorder and he is finding that they ere an with him again just as ever. The judge said yesterday that he had enjoyed mixing around with the old Warren
 district folks \so much during his stay gossIpine about things past and present that he had not really eo' down to the campaigning busiuo 8 but that it looked as # bis friend. were going to take care of that end of the business in large part anyhow However he is dropping the worJ here and there that he is out for re nomination and reelection and that hS will appreciate such support as is eX
 tended him.
