FIFTEEN NEW CASES
 OF WHOOPING COUGH
Epidemic in West End Continues to
 GrOW-Elcven Cases of Mumps Are Now Reported.

Despite the precautions and urgings of the health department the epidemic of whooping cough in the western sec ton of the city continues to grow although it is believed that the high water mark. has been reached through it's discovery by Superintendent T. E. Reeks. Since last Saturday, when d story of the epidemic was printed in the Herald, fifteen new cases have been reported. pr. Reeks praised the Herald for the space it devoted to an account of the epidemic and believes that, to a large extent, it was re- sponsible for arousing a spirit of cau- ton among mothers and also ilspir- ing them to report new cases to his office.
 pr. Reeks repeated his caution 'to mothers today, saying: 'The board of health advises parents of children afflicted by whooping cough to see to it that they are cautioned not to asso- ciate with other children who are well and not to go out of the imme- dlate vicinity in which they live. | Parents of we'll children, in the inter- est of their families, should warn their children not to play with others unless they are certain that their playmates have not got the wnoop- ing cough. If a child hears another child whoop he should imm edjately leave the spot and not play with the other'
 Besides whooping cough, the health department has mild epidemic of humps to deal with. There have been eleven cases of humps reported in the past few days. These are about evenly divided between the east and west sections of the city.

SENATOR WEEKS

The visit OF senator Weeks, of Massachusetts,.
to Oklahoma city, aud his address before the
Chamber of Commerce, were both rortuitouS events
Senator Week, is understood to be. candidate for
the Republican presidential nomination, but he
gave no hint of that, and his ,., and his speech
are appreciated for reasons other than this.
1t has been some time indeed since an audience
in Oklahoma has been permitted TO hear public
man, engaged in the political arena. boldly hold
a brief for business enterprises This Senator
Weeks did in splendid manner. and without be
coming in the slightest sense partisan The EN-
phusls he laid on the necessity of having the gov
ernmcnt rctrace a portion of it's steps with respect
to business interference echoes accurately the con
yictions of every man engaged in business and, to
lesser degree perhaps, every man dependent
upon the activity of capital for his doily bread.
1t has been the custom Of recent years for pub
lie men to scandalize business and aathematizc
the men engaged in laboremploying enterprises of
all kinds. That seemed 10 be popular and was,
therefore quite the correct thing. To hear pub
lie man. himself candidate for high office, can
didly discussing the issues of the day in the Ian
guage and from the viewpoint of the average husi-
ness man; with view of encouraging legitimate
business and thus adding prosperity and content.
ment to governmental achievements was unique
experience thoroughly enjoyed by the members of
the Chamber Of Commerce.
Senator Weeks entirely aside from his presi-
dental candidacy, was delightful guest.
