CHAPTER XIII.
THE UGLY ONE.

I awote rested but hungry, and, pushing
the boulder aside, crawled out upon the
little rocky shelf which was my front
porch.
Before me spread a small but beautiful
valley, through the centre of which a
clear and sparkling river wound its way
down to an inland sea, the blue waters
of which were just visible between the
two mountain ranges which embraced this
little paradise.
The sides of the opposite hills were
green with verdure, for n great forest
clothed them to the foot Of the red and
yellow and copper green of the towering
crags which formed their summit. The
valley itself was carpeted with luxu-
riant grass. while here and there patches
of wild flowers made great splashes of
vivid color against the prevailing green.
Dotted over the face of tho valley were
little clusters Of palmllke trees-three or
four together as a rule. Beneath these
stood antelope, while others grazed in the
open, or wandered gracefully to nearby
ford to drink.

WARNS AGAINST PERIL
OF WHOOPING COUGH
Director Krusen Urges Parents
to Adopt Preparedness
Against Disease

Director Krusen urges parents to adopt
the principle of preparedness by protect
ing their children from whooplng cough.
This Is the season that the cough, which
is one of the most distressing diseases Of
children, reaches the height of it's preva-
lence. Last year II caused twice as many
deaths as scarlet fever.
The Health Bureau records show that in
1914 one out of every 16 children who had
the disease died and so per cent. of these
deaths were of infants In their first year.
These statistics" said Director ISrusen.
"are convincing evidence that whooping
cough is not to be considered lightly.
Aside from it's high mortality, the pain
and suffering it causes should warn every
mother to keep the infection from her
household"
To do this effectively the Director ad-
vises parents as follows:
Instruct children not to play with
others who have the disease.
If your child has the infection II is
your duty to prevent other healthy
children from being in it's company.
All discharges from the mouth and
nose Of the sick child should be re-
ceived in paper napkins or clean
cloths, which should be burned, since
II is through these secretions that the
disease is spread.
Separate cups, glasses, plates and
for the sick child.
All cases of whooplng cough are re-
we'll ventilated room.
The bedclothes and clothing OF the
child should be dlsinfected by boiling.
All forms of excitement, laughing,
crying, overeating and drinking
should be avoided to sreduce the Sc
verify of the attacks of coughing and
the frequency of their occurrence.
If the child is well enough to be up
and about, it may be taken out in the
open, either in the back yard or on
the roof. but by no means should
other healthy children be present.
The child should be kept in bed In
strlcted from school until the disease
is cured,
Children suffering from the infec-
tion are not permitted to visit public
places or TO ride in public convey
ances.
obedience to tho precautions mentioned
will greatly assist in reducing, not only
the Incidence of whooping cough, but also
the high infant mortality of this CITY,"

CAMDEN FORTUNE TELLERS
TOLD TO QUIT BUSINESS
Chief of Police Orders General Clean
up of Prophets"

Fortune telers, prophets and seers of
all descriptions have been compelled to
retreat from Camden as result OF a
crusade started by Chief of Police Grave
nor, of that city. He issued orders today
that all persons who presume to toll what
is to happen in the future or sell good
luck charms must suspend business imme-
dIately.
Palmists are included in the general
cleanup. The chief has received many
complaints during the last few weeks from
persons who found that several of the
fortune telers had made bad guesses. The
climax came when the chief learned that
one oc the professional prophets managed
to extract SO from cop" for wishing
bag. 1t appears that the "cop" made a
number of wishes that didn't come true.
FINALLY he wished that the woman who
sold him the bag would be driven out OF
business and he made his own wish come
true by reporting her to the chief.

ment move along in satisfactory

The work in music will again be
under the excellent supervision OF
Miss Lee, who has had this work for
three years. Under her supervision
the high school has given some pro-
auctions of unusual merit. Last year
she organized high school orches-
ira which did commendable work
and she plans to accomplish still
greater things this year.
The work in History will again be
in charge of Miss Lyon. This will
make the eighth year for Miss Lyon
in the Webster City schools, which
speaks for the high standard of the
work she does. She is we'll qualified
for the work in History and the re-
suits of her efforts are gratifying.
The present indications are that
the coming year will be the most
successful in the history of the Web

opens everything will be in readi-
ness and no time will be lost in get
ting to work on the activities of the
