Webster City. Aug. Probably not
in all the United States is there an
other city of 5000 population which
can show the unusually low death rec
ord that has been made in Webster
City since July /. and the condition is
even unprecedented here. In the five
weeks that have interviewed since the
first day of July there has not been a
death in this city.
City Clerk Crittenden reports. how
ever. that during the period named one
burial permit has been issued. This
death was zen miles in the country blu,
interment was given in this city. max
ing necessary the taking out OF bur-
ial permit. Clerk Crittenden is author
ity for the further statement that never
before since permanent records have
been kept in this city have Ave weeks
ELAPSED without the issuance OF more
than one burial permit.
On the strength of this showing
the Webster City Commercial League
lays down challenge to the nation to
produce more healthful community
than Webster City. The record is all
the more unusual when one considers
that the period taken includes the very
hottest portion of the summer, period
when many deaths frequently occur
due to the heat.

"Doubt It"-A Gard Game.

Any number of persons can play
this game of cards, which should be
played with two packs. The cards are
dealt around in turn one at a time till
all are given out. The player at the
left of the dealer selects a card from
his hand and places it in the center of
the table, face down, naming the num-
Der of spots or rank of the card. It is
not necessary to mention the suit or
color.
The next player puts down in the
same way, saying it is the next in Or
der. but whether he has it or not he
may put any card he chooses, still de-
claring it to be the next card needed.
If any member of the party thinks it
is not the next card he can shout,
doubt itv' and the card is examined
If it proves not to be as declared the
one who played it must take all the
cards on the table. If the card proves
to be as declared the doubter must
take all the cards.
The object is to get rid Of ones
cards. and the one who is first out of
them wins. If player tries to cheat
by putting down two cards at once
and is discovered he is obliged to take
all the cards played. The playing
should be done quickly.
