Remains Were
Cremated

Henry Laughton returned from
Oakland Monday where he was
called by the death of his mother,
Mrs. Chalmers, circumstances of
which was published in this paper
two weeks ago. Mr.. Laughton
states that his mother left no note
If explanation nor did she die with
a picture of her daughter pressed to
her breast, as was stated in the
Bulletin article. However, there is
no doubt but what the disappear
ance of her daughter since last
June. was directly responsible for
her rash act. Since that time she
showed the effects of great mental
strain and was oft times very des-
pondent.
His mother had made it known to
friends that in the event of her
death she wished her body cremated
and the ashes deposited in the fam
lily vault at Silver Mountain and by
the side of son who died years
ago. Her body was cremated and
the ashes will be placed in the
Silver Mountain vault next spring.
In will Mrs. Chalmers left her
property to her son, H. Laughton.
Speaking of the disappearance of
his half-sister, Mr. Laughton said
that in his belief she was dead.

Prevention,
Educational
Topic Of DR.
BY Geo. l.. Servoss, M. ID.

That there is such thing as pre-.
vention of many diseases is now an
accepted fact. Several factors
enter into such prevention. Pri.
marily. individual hygine and prop
er mode of living plays a great part.
Then proper sanitary surroundings
are very prominent factors. Last,
but not least. comes the presence
of prevention through vaccination
against certain infectious diseases.
Bearing all these things in mind,
il is a self evident fact that one of
the duties of the doctor is to edu-
cate his people in the proper way of
caring for themselves, in that they
may not become i'll.
Many doctors think that their
obligations ceases when they have
treated those who are i'll, but the
time is coming, in fact has already
arrived IN some communities, when
ii will be obligatory that the doctor
carry on such education.
There is every reason why all
diseases. and particularly those Of
an infectious or contagious nature,
should be prevented. if possible.
The occurance of disease. either
isolated or general in character,
means just that much loss to the
community in which it occurs. Not
only does il mean a loss of time 10
the patient. but added thereto is
the expense of medical attention,
remedies and nursing, to say moth
ing of the mental strain endured by
both patient and those interested in
him. If the patient happens to be n
wage Garner, his wages are lost
throughout the period of his illness
and this should be added to the ex-
pense items. If disease can be pre-
vented, and it can TO very CON
siderable extent it means greater
prosperity for the community. Nor
will the doctor suffer through The
practice of preventive, rather than
curative medicine, rs people. prop
erly educated will as willingly pay
to keep well as for being made well
should they become i'll. And the
doctor will participate in the general
prosperity of a healthy community.

Claimed By
Death
Mrs. Mullin Succumbs
Following Cesarian
Operation

One of tho saddest deaths to oc-
cur in this community in some time
happened early Sunday morning
when Mrs. Thomas Mullin passed
away following a Cesarian operation
The child, a beautiful little girl,
was dead when taken from its
mothers side.
Mrs Mullin came in from her
home in Antelope Valley a week a
go Sunday to be near medical aid
when her child arrived. When the
hour grew near DIR. Hawkins was
called in. Upon learning that
natural birth could not be. DIR.
krebs of Carson was called into con-
sultation. The only spark of hope
of saving her life lay in the dreaded
Cesarian operation. She lived
twelve hours after the operation
and then joined her baby in another
world, leaving her husband, mother
and brothers in deep sorrow.
Her husband, mother and one
brother was with her when the
end came.
The remains were taken to Cole
vile for burial.
Deceased was the daughter of
Mrs. g. Chichester and was mar
ried about a year ago to Thomas
Mullin of Coleville. Besides
her husband and mother she leaves
two brothers to mourn her loss.
She was about "a years of age.
Every science known to medical
skill was used to save her life and
for time it was believed that she
had chance. Soon the light of
life grew dim and another life was
sacrificed on the throne of mother
hOodr
Much sympathy has been express
ed in this community for the sor-
rowing relatives.

Team
Defeated
Douglas High Take
Visitors Into Camp
INF asst Game

Once more the basketball team OF
the Douglas County High School
came out of a hard-fought game
with flying colors. having won from
the fast players of the Reno High
school in a game played at this
place last Friday night by score
of 1926.
In the first half the Reno boys
set fast pace but found their OPP
ponents equal to their best efforts.
Reno showed superior goal throw
ing and it seemed for a time that
this point would bring them out
winners. However, Douglas was
playing a steady game at the end of
the first half Reno was leading by
only three points.
In the second half Douglas played
an aggressive game and commenced
shooting the ball into the basket at
a lively rate. They jumped into the
lead and easily held the winning
hand until time was called.
Both teams played a clean game,
taking the decisions of the umpire
with good grace and no back-talk
thus receiving commendation from
the SPECTATORS.
The Douglas team was composed
of the following: Arendt Jensen,
Louis Nelson, Ed Lampe, Halyor
Jacobsen and Carl Springmeyer.
Fred Beck. sub.
After the game the Gardnerville
orchestra furnished music for a
social dance and speasant evening
was spent.

The Budget
System Must
Be Used

Attorney General Thatcher Mon
day submitted an opinion to the Me-
vada Tax Commission that county
commissioners must follow budget
system and set down in advance the
total to be spent in the year and the
purpose for which the several a
mounts are to be spent. He also
wrote that when it appears that
money from taxes will exceed the
amount previously fived for county
expenses, the county commissioners
must Immediately reduce the county
tax rate in proportion.
The effect Of this opinion will be
to give notice to all county COM
missioners that this year between
the first Monday in January and the
first Monday in March the county
commissioners must determine the
total amount to be expended for
county purposes for the ensuing
fiscal year and they must specify
not only the aggregate sum but the
items. After the assessments are
equalized next November if it APP
appears the tax rate for the county
fixed in March will produce more
money than called for by TIE budget
twill be the duty of the commits
sioners Immediately to reduce the
county tax rate.
1t is expected the Nevada tax
commission will cause to be prepar-
ed copies of this opinion that they
may be sent to each county COM
missioner in the state to serve due
notice. The law quoted, as to .one
section, has been the law of this
state since 1891. amended in 1893,
and as to three other sections it has
been the law since 1903.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Special to the Farmer,

Wilmington July The first step in advance of the pure food law and one which is likely to lead to great future benefit to the American people is the Cooke pure jeweIry b41 which has just been reported out from the House committee on interstate com merce
 The logical development of this sort of legislation will be pure leather laws, pure fabric laws and other similar statutes making it an offense to brand or label any common articles to be are. It is the pure food law carried into the retail district generally. and this legislative evolution will prove of great value in preventing the public from being swind1ed-
 The Cooke Bill, named after it's au- thor, Representative J. Henry Cooke of Ohio, applies to watches only, but one of the great American swindles is the sale of spurious watches to the credulous public There have recent and it has been found that watch cases sold as Warranted 20 years and the like, purportine to be either solid gold or heavily gold plated, have really con rtained less than five cents worth Of gold
 sueh watches are sold to the pub lie by mail order agents and by itiner- ant auction jewellers The victim gets such a watch at what seems to him to be a low price. Really he is pay ing an extravagant price for a worth less article
 The new bill provides that all watch cases marked Gold filed" must be. plated with a minimum thickness of gold prescribed by law It is forbid den to guarantee gold filled or plated watch cases When cases. are mark ed gold the bill requires that the karet dneness shall be stamped on the case. On all watch movements the number of jewels and adjustments must be stamped in the metal as well as the manufacturers name and there is pre- scrdbed stin penalties for false brand. ing. The bill is similar to the pure fabric bill which the committee is now considering. but because of special conditions in the jewelry trade it was decided to keep the Cooke bill as separate measure
 It is a step in the right direction for the American public
