KICKED BY MULE
Causing Fracture of His Skull Was
What Happened to John DiehI.

Monday morning John Diehl, the
McHenry blacksmith, had just COM
pleted the shoeing of mule when the
animal kicked the man with tremen-
dous force in the face. The toe of the
shoe struck Mr.. Diehl in the mouth,
While the caulks struck him on the fore
head, fracturing his skull. He was
brought to the Home Sanatorium in
Oakland where Drs. McComas and
limbaugh dressed his injuries. For a
day or two following the occurrence it
was thought that the man could not re-
cyver, but this morning he is very
much improved.

Dollars ahd Ducks

1t is well for young men ia kneW
that dollars are like duoks-one follows
another-and tho they may waddle
along slowly and with some effort, they
will eventually get there.
We have young men in this communi-
ty who are just starting out on the
road of life, but where that road viii
lead it is for them to say. They are
earning a few dollars now and as time
progresses their earning capacity will
increase. If the early accumulations
are thrown TO the birds it is more than
likely that in later life the buzzards
will roost on the graves of their ambi-
ton.
But if their first dollars are carefully
laid away in a well sewed pocket and
this lesson of thrift and frugality is
fostered and encouraged, then in time
the bank will become the depository OF
their earnings and accommodations and
eventually wealth, and the eagle will
soar over the heads of successful men.
Keep an eye on the young men of
our town, but keep both eyes on those
who spend wisely but not foolishly,
who are full of life and ginger but new
er carry 1t to excess, whose eyes are
fixed upon the eagle and not upon the
buzzard.
Like the waddling duck, they may
advance slowly but they will get there
In time.-Mullinville News,

whOOpine Cough and Measles

From Kansas State Board of Health
Bulletin.
''Our health officer is absurd - said a
mother. He insists on Mrs. Smith
keeping her baby at home because it
has the whooping cough, Poor woman,
she wants to visit me so badly. I'm
not afraid for my baby. I'd rather
he'd have it now, for he is sure to
takeit sometime Mrs. Smith made
her visit in spite of the health officers
warning. And while her baby recov-
cred, the other baby caught the disease
and died Poor, sad motherl Poor

could not protect himself from expo

Il remember says father, when
mother took we children to the neigh
bor's to catch the measles. We got
over it, though. Will Jones, who caught
1t from US, died. He never was robust.
Sister Bess was never strong after
ward, and died from consumption at
sixteen. My doctor tells me that per
cent of children having measles later
develop consumption, and you bet
don't want my children exposed to the
measles if can prevent it.
Have you learned by experience,
like these parents, that whooping
cough and measles are dangerous dis
seases, or must you be convinced by
imilar experience. The death toll
from whooping cough in 1913 was 122;
from measles, 1O2. This does not in
clude those who later die from heart,
kidney and lung complications, and
many do. The infection in both is
transmitted in secretions from the
nose and throat by coughing and sneez-
ing. The early symptoms are those of
a cold. Avoid contact with people
with colds.
Your health officer can't protect
every enc. You must help him. If
you or your neighbors have either dis
ease report to him at once Isolate
yourself from others and insist on your
neighbor doing SO. Tell Mrs. Smith
to keep her whooping cough at home
If you are a school-board member,
tell your teacher to send home every
child who brings a cough or a cold to
school.
