examination through the transparent
sheath Of the claw. In trimming cut
well beyond this canal and take spe-

handling the bird.

. dren are handicapped for life from
the weakening Of some organ from
measles or one Of the diseases liable
to accompany or follow it. Partial
and total blindness and partial and
total deafness have developed from
eyes and ears affected with this dis
ease and lungs weakened by it have
been ready ground for the germs of
whooping cough, pneumonia or tuber-
culosis.
Control Of the disease can only be
had through prompt isolation in the
early stages and complete destruction
OF the germs which leave the body in
the discharges. As the germs are in
the spray emitted by coughing and
sneezing, members of the family
should not be admitted promiscuously
TO the sick room. The nurse in at
tendance should wash her hands care
fully after any service for the patient
and before leaving the sick room
should cleanse her hands and face,
brush her hair with alcohol and
change her gown.
The patient should remain in quar-
antine while the cough or any dis
charge continues.
Dishes, spoons, towels, napkins, bed
linen and any draperies within reach
OF the fine spray emitted with cough
ing or sneezing should be immersed
in water before being taken from the
sick room and before being handled
should be boiled for one half hour.
The dishes can be put into large
dish pan Of water for this purpose and
the clothing can at once be put into
the boiler.
Children who have not had the dis
Ease and who have been exposed
should be kept from other children for
'wo weeks. II at the end Of that time /.

THOSE INSURANCE RATES.

COMMISSIONERS HIGHLEY responds vigorously in
defense of fire department when the underwriters
send letters broadcast people in Oklahoma City calling
attention TO conditions which give the cautious underwriters
down east that flames will lick up the property of
Oklahoma City
There is general belief in Oklahoma City that lower
rates OF fire insurance should be offered We have had
few conflagraons here that caused much loss Probably
The underwriters away down will admit that we've paid
few million dollars in premiums than we have re-
teNed for fire losses Yet our demand for lower rates
finds stout resistance.
The suggestion has been made that the policy holders
OF this city form mutual insurance society and carry their
own risks This is done by many corporations II We had
acted on this plan some ago it is likely that every
policy holder in this city would have saved lot of money
The Oklahoma City merchant who has paid out $1,000
for fire insurance during the time he has been in business
here has had losses and wants no losses might have
saved 5000 il mutual company had been in operation
among local property Wouldn't this 5000 be a
nice bank roll" to invest in the busineS1
We may have fire tomorrow and some insurance com,
pany may be called upon to pay los" in this CITY But
there seems to be impression that our fire department
has prevented big losses in the past and will continue to
fight the flames with success.
In the meantime, the sentiment grows in favor of lower
fire insurance rates regardless OF the hot campaign being
conducted by the national board OF underwriters to keep
Up rates

THE ARISTOCRATIC HOG.

HOGS sold at the local yards Wednesday at 5000 per
hundred, establishing record in the history OF
the industry IN Oklahoma Someone will pay fancy prices
for porkchops and roas and there seems small prospect
OF substantial declines In this branch of the livestock
business
The present price of hogs is invitation to the owners
ot vacant land around Oklahoma City engage in the
raising OF alfalfa, on which porkcrs thrive One man
the suburbs who lives small tract has marketed two
hogs this winter for $40 he has few which he will
sell while the market remains firm And the raising OF
these animals was a side issue
The combination OF alfalfa and hogs has made lot of
people rich in Oklahoma Any land owner who overlooks
having herd of pigs under present marke, conditions is
missing chance to eliminate the butchers bill

QUICK NOW, SAVE THE FOREGROUND

UNLESS some action is taken promptly our new capitol
will be crowded side that there will be scant
space to build sidewalk which than three persons
can pass comfortably
Do the members of the legislature know this? Are
they aware of the fact that space side OF the magn
cent staehouse cramped that the beauty of the build
ing will be seriously marrcd unless movement is made
quickly to save this foreground?
1t will be well for member of the legislature to
introduce measure calling for investigation before it
is too late II streets made buildings erected and the
ground used for other than capitol purposes well have
fine mess on hands upon completion of the capitol
grounds.
The statchouse is built for this generation and few
more to follow. And should leave no stone un,rned to
utilize every artistic efiec, at command to allow ample
room on all sides OF the structure which is pride to a
