WARNING TO PARENTS
ABOUT WHOOPING COUGH

1t has been brought to the notice of
the Home Service Committee that the
number of deaths from whooping
cough among children throughout the
State has been unusually large and
every precaution must be taken to pre-
vent them from contracting it.
DR.. John F. Hogan, head of the bu-
reau of infectious diseases, said that
much of the spread of whooping cough
came from the notion among parents
that children are bound to contract it
and that the sooner they do so the
better. Such an idea Dr. Hogan de-
clared to be wholly fallacious and one
that constituted a menace to chill
dren's lives; for whooping cough, he
said, is not necessary" and it is dan
gerous.
Cases of whooping cough or any
other contagious diseases which are
not being attended by physician, &C
cording to law must be reported TO the
Health Officer, by the parents of the
child

RUSSIAN CHAOS GROWING
 WORSE; REDS NEAR ENIl

LONDON, Feb. 13--The latest re- ports received here from British cor respondents in Petrograd say condi- tionS there steadily are becoming s worse. Opposition to the Bolshcviki government is growing principally be- cause of the recent murder of two for mer members of the Kerensky cabi- net.
 The Bolsheviki are bringing many troops from the front. apparently for the protection of the government members. Crowds of persons assem- ble at the street corners to listen to sidewalk orators. many of whom Op- enly denounce the Bolsheviki regime
 The police have disappeared and i, is a daily occurrence for soldiers in automobiles to pull we'll dressed citi- zens into the cars. to divest them of their outer garments and leave them half naked in the snow.
 No family in Petrograd is allowed to occupy more than four rooms. A simple meal costs from 50 to so ru- bles.
 Economic conditions are in state of complete chaos. Postage stamps of the czaristic rebime are made to serve for small change. Similar con ditiOns exist at Kronstadt, where the banks have been sacked and their of ficials turned into the streets.

Bolshevilki Say That While Peace Treaty Not Signed State of
 War No Longer Exists

AMSTERDAM. Feb. l.. A dis patch sent from the separate peace council at Brest-Litovsk today says that the present Russian delegates at Sundays sitting stated that while Russia was deciding the form for signing the formal peace treaty it de- clared that a state of war no longer existed between Russia and Germany, Austro- Hungary. Turkey and Bulgar- ia a nd gave orders for the sinultan- eous and complete denobiliZation of the Russian forces on ali fronts.
 It is epected that the peace proto- col will be signed within the next few days.
