SHERIFF MILLER INVESTIGATES
INFLUENZA SITUATION.

Carrying out instructions from the
State Board of Health, Sheriff Sim
]. Miller on Monday investigated the
Influenza situation in a number or
schools in this county. While the dis
ease is prevalent most everywhere,
Sheriff Miller failed to find a single
child in school that had Influenza, in
his opinion. In making his state
ment, the Lexington sheriff said that,
while he regretted very much to see
the children lose the time. he felt
confident that it would be a very
wise policy to close the schools Tor
ten DAYS or two weeks. Especially is
this the wise course to pursue IN
communities where influenza has
reached an epidemic stage. In the
interest of the public health and due
to the fact that so many cases OF
pneumonia having followed close on
the heels of influenza, the Sheriff
feels that it would be much better
to close the schools Just what course
will be pursued by the) State Board
of Health remains to be seen.
In the meantime, Sheriff Miller re-
quests all teachers, trustees and pa
tons of schools to report to him at
once upon the first appearance of
children in school who have influ-
enza, or from families where influ-
enZa exists.

ADMIRAL PEARY DEAD.

Washington. Feb. 2O.-Admiral
Peary. the discoverer of the North
Pole, died at his home in Washington
on Feb. goth, the death being due
to persistent anemia.
A few days before his death the
Admiral submitted to 4 blood trans

ter he seemed somewhat improved
and was removed to his home. Gradu-
ally however, he grew weaker, and
the end soon came.
The discovery of the North Pole
by Admiral Peary occurred nearly
eleven years ago. the message an
nouncing the fact being announced
to the world on Sept 6, 1909, by a
message from Peary at Indian Har-
bor via Cape Ray, Newfoundland,
reading: Stars and stripes nailed to
North Pole" The actual discovery of
the Pole. however, occurred on April
$, 1909, exactly six months before the
announcement.
Admiral Peary was born in Cres-
son, Pa. in 1856. He graduated
from Bowdoin College where he was
an exceptionally good student, and
then went into the Coast and Geodetic
Survey offices at Wa 5i:inytcn. Later
he entered TIE navy.
In July. 1908: when iaary was fifs:
twoy years old, he started out on his
eighth and last attempt to reach the
Pole Col. Roosevelt saw the boat off,
and to him Peary's veteran navigator.
Capt Bartlett, cried as the boat start
ed, It's the Pole or bust this time.
Mr.. President" And it happened that
the first half of his prediction came
true.

CARE OF BABY CHICKS.

The care Of baby chicks is most
important They must be kept warm
and comfortable have proper feed
and water and be carefully watched to
detect any indication Of sickness that
may appaer, if they are to get the
necessary start in life to enable them
to grow into hardly chicks and ma
ture fowls
When the mother hen is Matching
she should not be disturbed except to
remove shells. AS soon as chicks are
taken from nest. put into dry coop
with hen, they must be kept warm
and comfortable The mother hen
supplies the warmth and We should
be careful to have coop in a dry
place where there is plenty of sun
shine.
Baby chicks should not be fed for
The yolk of the egg which is absorb
cd by chick when Matching furnishes
all nourishment required during that
time. After the 3rd day, they should
be fed four or five times daily, and
given only enough for them to eat up
clean each time. Over feeding will do
more harm than under feeding. BE
sure to have plenty of fresh water be-
fore chicks at all times. Give butter
milk or sour milk once daily. which
helps to keep off darrhea so common
with young chicks.
The first feed should consist OF
"jonnycake" or hard boiled eggs
mixed with stale bread crumbs-nev-
er feed anything wet and soggy. Then
gradually substitute for one or two
feeds daily a mixture Of equal parts
of finely cracked wheat. crac-ed corn
and oats A commercial chick feed
containing 4 variety Of grains may be
used instead if desired and can be
bought from most feed dealers.
How to make ''jonnycake":
Corn NEAL pounds.
Baking soda tahlespoonsfu or s
infertile eggs
l-2 Id. meat scrap.
Mix with milk to make a stiff bat
ter and bake thoroughly.
AS soon as chicks are old enough
and will eat whole wheat. cracked
corn or other grain, the small sized
chick feed may be discontinued. In
addition to grain feed they must be
supplied with grit oyster shell and
charcoal at all times. Chickens if pos
sible should be given grass range
otherwise this will have to be fur
nished Chicks that are allowed to
run on grass range are usually
strong and thrifty and grow much
more rapidly than those kept in con-
