was also familiar

About Time For a Swim.
ed PHYSICIAN AND AUTHOR
NQTEp


There are folks who hesitate
about being gaccinated or having
an operation in cold weather lest
they take cold in it, And other
folks who do not like to submit to
these surgical procedures in warm
weather for fear of lockjaw, hy-
drophObia or something.
When | was a boy | always went
in swimming whether forbidden or
not. Being forbidden made the
pleasure of the swim no less, but
only made the subsequent drying
out process more thorough. Then,
TOO, there was the fear of drown
ing as a providential reward for
disobedience. l do not advise boys
and girls to disobey their parents
just because l did it and lived to
tell the tale / merely urge upon
parents a few simple truths, with
the hope of dispelling some of the
superstition that makes a feller's
life, at the very time when life
should be the greatest fun, just
one broken commandment after
aaOther.
Superstition No. There is no
ing into the water when heated
up by eXercise-no more danger
than there is in taking cold
shower bath after an hour of work
in the gymnasium.
Superstition No. 2-There is no
time in the month when it is more
risk for a woman to go in swim
ming than at any other time.
Superstition No. Johnny
won't get pneumonia or the
measles or the pip if his lips look
a little blue after he has been in
for some time. Leave him alone
and when his circulation is an
noyed by the cold he Will come out
and get dressed.
Superstition No. A barrel is
as superfluous and dangerous as
is the pumping of the arms in re-
suscitating a drowned person. No
man, woman or child should be
permitted to go in swimming any
where or at any time until he or
she has demonstrated capdbility of
performing artificial respiration
| by the most efficacious and sim
pie method known, the Shaefer or
prone pressure method which all
Boy Scouts know.
Superstition No. 5.-Wet hair on
a pale faced boy at p. m. on a
clear summer day is no sign Of an
approaching storm in any square
deal household.

ished his stern expression.
John Carter cleared his throat in
embarrassment before beginning
his dictation. But the girl bent
busily detached, over the typewrit-

Each day the lawyer came to de-
pend more upon her assistance, his
mail was dispatched with regular
ity and ease, while he SMILED often
at the courteous innocence of Peg

The girl was even more satisfac-

her dark eyes widen in Indignation
over some recital of his own defeat,
or turn to merriment at an oppos-
ing counseis expense. And always
when the sun came slanting
through the office window before
closing time. he liked to watch the

its light to FURNISHED gold. Some
times she would linger thought

The Illinois River Disaster.

Rock Island feels especial concern over the river
catastrophe on the Illinois last night. It was the
greatest disaster ever recorded an inland stream
in this country and probably it was by mere chance
that it happened near Pekin instead of near Rock IS
land The Columbia formerly was packet running
down the river from this city.
The steamboat excursion business is fraught with
dire possibilities that are occasionally realized. There
was the General sIocum affair at New York, and
later the EastIand disaster at Chicago Both are
fresh in the public mind Like the Pedn horror
both were caused by over-crowding, which is espec-
tally dangerous because of the ever present POSSIBLE
itr Of a panic.
There have been number of accidents to ezcur-
sion boats on the upper Mississippi but fortunately
there never has been such extensive loss Of life.
Whether the boats have been more efficiently handled
or whether it was due other circumstances it is
difficult to say It is evident, however that precau-
lions for the safeguarding of those who so On ex-
cursions can scarcely be overdone.
