Today
From Wednesdays DALI.

Out OF the case OF scarlet IeVel
resulting in the death OF Kermit
Schuster, son of A. Schuster, 1903 N
Broad street, an investigation has
arisen that has been taking up the
attention of local, county and state
officials. Investigations made by the
local board of health gathered to-
gether the following story:
That on May Is the eleven year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Schus-
ter, Blanche, was taken i'll with
scarlet fever; that Bermel Schuster
aged six, was taken sick on May 80;
that Berenice, aged six, twin sister
to Bermel, was taken sick on May
"a; that Kermit Schuster, aged two
years, was taken ill on June 10; that
Mr.. Schuster himself was taken il,
on June &c; that yesterday at 1 p. m.
Kermit died; that no one of the fam
lily had had any medical attendance;
that the death of the child was re-
ported to Kelley, Harres & Gose-
wisch, undertakers, and that they In
turn notified the deputy coroner, DR..
G.. A. Dahl; that DR.. Dahl made the
report then to the local board of
health; that the family home was
Immediately quarantined; that the
children were treated by Christian
Science healer, Mrs. Jaeger, living
on North Fifth street; that other
Christian Scientists had a hand in
taking care of them; that as re-
suit of this the home of Mrs. Jaeger
on North Fifth street and the home
of Mrs. Kreisze on North Fourth have
been isolated; that it is been found
that Blanche Schuster recently at
tended the model department of the
state normal school; that arrange
ments have been made to fumigate
these class rooms; that on June 20
Kermit developed symptoms of very
serious illness; that Mrs. Jaeger was
giving him present and absent treat
ment; that when she saw that he
was very seriously ill, she suggested
that a licensed healer be sent to him
and Mrs Broderic was called; that
Mrs. Broderic gave the boy present
and absent treatment from June 20
on; that Mrs. Broderic and Mrs. Jae-
ger both told the authorities that
they had recommended to Mr.. and
Mrs. Schuster that as it seemed that
the disease was measles, they had
better notify the board of health;
that they did not insist on this as
Mr.. and Mrs. Schuster did not take
kindly to the idea that the state
board of health was notified of the
whole matter after the boy was dead
and Secretary H. M. Bracken ord
cred that the necessary steps be
taken to determine the cause of the
boys death.
Pursuant to the order of DR.. Brack-
en-, a post norton was hold today
over the boys body by DR.. G. A.
Dahl, the dtputy coroner. DR.. C.. G.
Pratt and DR.. T. C. Kelly. This
revealed beyond doubt the fact that
the boy had had scarlet fever and
that he was a victim of specific pleu
risy. A large quantity OF pus was
found in the right pleural cavity.
The health board has placed a
trained nurse in charge of the pa
tients at the family home.
After a consultation with County
Attorney Schmitt this morning, DR..
Dahl recided to hold no inquest, but
a post norton.

The Sultan of Egypt

Several days later the Sultan granted me an interview I tried to discover any trace of discomfort in the Sultan but if he feels he is an Engrish-made potentate he is able to hide it from prying eyes. I did not find the Sultan at all what I ex- pected. Knowing that he was the son of the regal Ismail Pasha, the Khedive who both made and ruined modern Egypt, and the grandson of Muhammed Ali, the Albanian adventurer who founded the khediViate in Egypt, I was not pre- pared to meet a man whose dominant characteristic is a spiritual intellectual ism. He wanted to talk chiefly about the uplifting of Egyption woman, and, as he talked, he was emotionally moved. He turned also to Islam and tried to make he understand the sentiments of fraternity and democracy that underlie the religion of Mohammed. He spoke of politics, too, and did not mind being pinned down to an expression of opinion on British rule. He found it. he said. firm, but liberal. But when I questioned him about the future of Egypt he smiled and said: But that is politics, and l am no prophet"

Labor Omnia Vincit

From the Outn s COmpanlOn.
 There is an old story about the man who pulled up a well and took it to a more desirable location; and another about the man who took up a well, sawed It in sections, and used one of the sec tions for land roller. They were eXag- geratons, but the experience of ErZa Tetlow proves that well cannot al- ways be classed as permanent fixture. Ezra had well in front of his house. It had never been a success as a well. Ezra wanted it filled up One way would have been to haul stones or earth and use the material to fill it. But Ezra had no team.
 So he went at it with shovel. Work ing on the side of the well next to the road, he began to dig and throw dirt into the well. He kept this up until he had filled it, which was not a difficult job, as the well was rather shallow.
 But when the task seemed finished, Ezra found that he had made a new hole by the side of the one he had been fill ing. There was but one thing to do; he proceeded to fill it in the same manner. Of course this resulted in still another excavation, which in turn received simi- lar treatment.
 As all of Ezra's digging had been on result was that the hole in the ground was finally moved out into the highway.
 Judson Tolliver was commenting on the exploit one day down al the Corners. Queer thing Ezra did" he remarke ed. You know that old we'll that stood in his front yard? Well, sir, he's moved

Growth in Twenty-Five Years

John A. Sleicher, in Lesie's.
 It is a long jump from New Orleans to San Antonio, over 570 miles, and it is over 1900 farther to San Francisco. When made the journey 20 years ago I stopped ITO miles out from San Antonio to see little place called Del Rio, then with about 800 inha bitants. Today it is city of 1000. The increasing demand for fertile farms is giving Texas it's innings. Farm land near Corpus Christi that I could have bought 9 years ago for s2 or $3 an acre, is now selling at $75, so l was told by J. W. Stayton editor of the Caller. Farms along the gulf have black soil, in some places 30 feet deep, that will never need fertilization. Twenty five years ago they were being sold at 8 an acre, now some of them range as high as 5000 an acre and a single years crop of onions will go a long way toward paying the purchase price. Lands in the so-called dry belt of Texas around Sweetwater, Colorado City, and Midland that were de- voted entirely to ranchng 20 years ago are now being cut up into farms and have advanced in price tenfold.
 There are some big cities along the line from New Orleans to San Francisco Fl Paso surprised me the most. It boasts that it is the largest city in the Rocky Mountain Southwest" south of Denver, west of San Antonio, and east of Los Angeles. It was dusty, uninvting min ing town 25 years ago, the last place where real estate seemed likely to ad- vance Today it is a stately city of 5O- CO., the largest on our southern from tier and the busiest with it's warlike preparation. The rise in real estate has brought unexpected wealth to many. Tue son with 25,000, Phoenix with 20OO0, on a branch line B miles from the main line of the Southern Pacific; Yuma with $500 take you along the Arizona line of ad- vancement. All of these are known as health resorts as we'll centers of ranching, fruit and cotton growing.
 Distances in the United States are noth- ing. To the traveller abroad the journey of over 1900 miles from New York to New Orleans down the great commercial high way paralleling the Atlantic coast and then on 2500 miles to San Francisco would seem apalling. From the south of Eng

land to the north of Scotland, about 1000 miles, the trip is made in 30 hours, and if the trains ran any further they would run eff the island into the sea.
 The railroad descends into the rich, warm, luxuriant Imperial Valley of Cali fornia, its lowest point 204 feet below sea level at Salton. Twelve years ago this was bleak, desolated wilderness now the valley has flourishing town, BOG, ,OOO acres under cultivation and 100000 more ready for the invigorating touch of the waters from the irrigating ditches, di- verted from the Colorado river The val ley has 100000 acres planted in cotton of exceptionally long staple for which there Is always demand. Let the south look out.
 Thus you come to Los Angeles, city of nearly 500,O00, 10 times what it was 25 years ago. Then it seemed overgrown, but if one had invested then the trifling amount of $500 in suburban acreage. he could realize $250,000 now on his invest ment. Unbelievable? Come and see, Don't stop at Los Angeles. as San Diego. Riverside. Pomona, San Bernardino, Red lands, Long Branch, Santa Barbara, Del Monte and many other equally attractive and growing places invite you.

Tommy" and His Mascot


 William J. Robinson in his personal story of life in the British trenches in France, tells the following story of his ''side partner:''
 My mate begins to grumble about the weight of his pack but he has nothing to say against the 10-pound dog he has picked up and is carrying under one arm. This is the third mascot he has had First it was a canary he picked up in a ruined house in Ypres. He carried that cage everywhere he went for six weeks until he found a chap who was going on leave, and he got him to deliver the bird to his missus.' Then it was a goat Where he got it heaven only knows, but he named it Leviticus,'' and was ready to fight any man who had word to say against his pet. The fellows stood for the goat as long as they could but finally Ieviticus' turned up missing, and Harry my mate. was going around with his fists

Orange Peel Oil Explosive
,pu1ar Science Monthly.

From Popular Science Monthly.
 Everybody knows the flavor of orange peel, but not everybody knows what causes that flavor. It is due to the oil contained in little cells in the rind. If the peel is bent so as to strain these oil-laden cells, the oil bursts out, often as d visible spray and usually perceptible to our sense of smell, and often as grease film on the fingers.
 The peel may be so ment as to rupture large number of these cells at one time,i and to fill the air with an oily mist. If, at the moment of bending, a lighted match be applied by an assistant decided explosion will follow This experiment. is most successfully performed in a dark ened room or in a room wholly dark ex- cept for the light from the match.

 The children look happy and healthy in the nursery, where the wee ones are; in the kinder garten and in the schoolrooms. where sweet faced nuns, whose convents have been burnt be- fore their very eyes, have taken up their work here, and in this strange. environment are teaching the exiled boys and girls to take up the tasks which will fall upon their young shoulders
 All the work of the camp is done by the refu- gees themselves, and there are various work. shops and classrooms besides. One very inter- estng feature is the work done under the guid- ance of the English Society of Friends.

HOLLAND NOW MOTHERS
 ABOUT 10000 BELCIANS

In Holland there four large camps, for Belgian refugees only containing about seventy thousand persons against seven hundred thou sand last year. and all over the country private houses rented by the government and some by private subscriptions where people of the better class, who are, however. as penniless as the others, being cared for, says New York Herald correspondent
 The Dutch government pays all their expenses. It costs IA cents day to feed the grownsups in the camps and the children cents day. In the private houses they cost 2S cents and 20 cents respectively. Their clothing and school. ing is an extra expense, and has so far cost ap- proxmately $55,000 The building of the various camps totaled S620000, and special fund for the eventual restoring of homes equals $40000.
 I visited one of these camps at Gouda and most enthusiastically greeted.

Lots of women are dressing dolls these times. for bazaars are the or der. and lots more of them are dress ing their small boys and girls, and this is more fun than dressing dolls and is performance that demands frequent encores. so to speak. for the American child is bit of quicksilver set on springs, and it's clothes do not last long enough to be remembered.
 This little frock is equally service able for boy or a girl and is only intended for child of from two to six years, by which time the small boy dons the picturesque long trousers and round collar that were worn dur ing the Civil war period, and has learned to despise frocks
 In making dress for a child of four years you will require two and a quarter yards of material 27 inches wide, and two and half yards of ma terial 36 inches wide Of the A. inch goods you will want only a yard and half. For collar and cuffs, one eighth of yard of 27-inch goods will prove sufficient
 If the frock is to be for best wear, as sort of outdoor visiting wrap and dress combined, then velvet, in dark blue or green or red, is an ex- cellent thing to make it of If the pattern is to be strictly dress, white fabrics of any kind, from nainsook and p!que to white serge or white cordu- roy, are all good

Most homes have many old photo graphs too precious to be thrown away, yet of little interest to those outside the immediate family.
