OUCH CLEANUP
AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION is
WORTH MANY POUNDS OF CURE
WHEN DISEASE is ALLOWED TO
CREEP IN.

There is no sign of infantile par
alysis in Ardmore, but physicians are
warning the people to take every pre-
caution. and not invite that or any
other summer disease.
1t is being pointed out that the
greatest preventive for summer i'll
ness is cleanliness, and with the mos
quito just beginning to put in his APP
pearance the residents are urged to
take no chances, but to clean up
and burn all rubbish and trash and
especially to drain places where water
has collected.
"And while | think of it," said a
physician. there is a little hole about
thirty inches square along the gutter
just outside the postoffice that should
be cleaned up Immediately It is
about the most offensive drain hole in
the city, and just why it has been
allowed to remain there week after
week is beyond me. Just such places
are conducive to sickness, and all
such should be dispoed of immediate

RECOVERED
YESTERDAY
FOUND IN REAR OF BUILDING
WHERE THEY HAD BEEN PLAC-
ED BY THE ROBBER WHEN HE
FOUND THEM VALUElESS.

Sometime Wednesday night thieves
broke open the store of j. Holmes
Akers on Caddo street, opened the
door of the safe and forced a small
steel box containing some valuable
notes and other papers and made
their escape. Markers notified the
officers yesterday morning and a
quiet search was instituted. When it
was learned that the papers were
valueless to anyone but Mr.. Akers,
a search about the premises and in
the rear of adjoining buildings was
made with the result that the papers
and the box we're found in the rear
of w. A. Pride's shop. Among the
papers were some notes aggregating
several thousand dollars. When the
thief found that the package contain
ed no money he or they took the
quickest means. of disposing of it
with the above result. The officers
have a clue as to the perpertrator of
the deed and are working on the
case.

Washington fans are still thinking
over this big trade which Is ex-
pected to prove Of value to the
Washington and Cleveland clubs.
Few tears will be shed by Capital
fans over the passing OF Boehling
and Moeller. Many fans are OF the
belief that BoehlinK has not done

them believe that Moeller. though

not have anything to deliver.

they did not give him the same sup

What Griffmen Need.
The Griffmen OF 1916 are weak
in several respects, but most Of
all at the bat.
What tho Griffs need hrst Of all
is one or two or three good hit
ters, not those who lay down slow
ones and beat them out, but those
who hit the ball on the nose.
