JOHN MEREDITH wARING

A d4zth which came as grea.
shock to the friends of the family
occurred shortly after eight o'clock
this morning when little John Mere
dith Waring, the ten months old SOIL
Of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. G. Warning passed
away after an illness of only two
days, having taken i'll Saturday
night. He suffered with locked bow
els, and from the first was in very
serious condition.
The case is unusually sad because
Mrs. Waring has been confined to
her bed by illness for the past ten
days, suffering with infammatory
rheumatism She has been unable to
move in the bed, so acute has been
the attack, which is matter of deep
est regret of her many friends.
In their hour of deep grief and sor-
row. the bereaved parents have the
deepest sympathy of a host of friends,
who would tighten their load If only
1t were possible.
Everything that human aid and
medical skill could do was all to no
avail, the little ones bowels seeming
to be completely paralized.
The funeral services will be con.
Quoted at the family residence at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, Rev. L. D.
Lowe officiating. Interment will be in
the city cemetery.

q PREVENTING PNEUMONIA

When 1t fully recognizes and treats
pneumonia as germ disease that
causes more deaths in the United
States today than any other acute
Infectious malady, the public can do
more to aid health authorities in
preventing 1t than by any other
means. Its prevention is as essential
as its cure.
A home where there is a case Of
this disease should be avoided as dill
gently as if it were scarlet fever.
measles, whooping cough or diph
iberia. Every precaution should also
% exercised by persons waiting on
patients, as they are liable to carry
the malady to others with whom thew
come into contct.
A thorough study Of pneumonia has
heen made by the Rockefeller Insti-
tute. 1t has found that there ara
four types of the germ which causes
pneumonia About sixty-four per
cent of all cases are said to be due
TO the first two types. These germs
are found in the mouths of patients
lhlected with them during the at
tack and on an average of three or
four weeks after recovery
1t also has been found tina. the
mouths of one out of every seven
persons coming into contact with
pneumonia patients likewise contain
these germs. Some Of these incivid.
uais may even pass the germs on TO
other persons without themselves cor.
tracing the disease. Dust from rooms
occupied by pneumonia patients was
tound' IN one out of every four cases
examined, to contain these germs
pneumonia germs are thrown off IN
secretlons from the mouth and res
plTatory tract. These secretions from
patients should be collected in ves-
sells and sterlized or upon napkins or
cloths and boiled or burned. The ma.
tent should be regarded as q focus
of Infection and isolated. Eating and
drinking utensils, handkerchief.
clothing and bedding should he
boiled thoroughly or otherwise dis
infected. These precautions should
continue for at least four weeks AZ
ter recovery.

end OF convalescence the room sbou,a

water as a final precaution
Persons waiting on patients should
avoid promiscuous splitting and cov.

been having the past couple Of days.
We don't like it any better than they
do. But we would like still less
the weather they're having "back

far below zero as it here registers
above. With roses still blooming in

with fruit, we don't think anybody has
