MaIady Prevalent With Children
and Overeating OF Fruit
May Cause 1t.

A malsdy known as aeidosls, prevs-
lent among infants and small children
has SO increased in the number OF
cases since January I over the past
two years as to attract the attention
of the District Health authorities II
was said today.
While the maiady. which Is as mys-
terious in origin as the Spanish IN
fluenza. has not yet attained the pro-
portions OF an epidemic, DR.. WllllaIn
c. Fowler, District Health onicer'
said precautionary measures are not
ill-advised.
II was since the death OF Morrison
Marshall, foster son OF Vice President
Thomas II. Marshall in February, and
one of the early victims, that the
prevalence OF the disease became no
ticeable to the Health Department.
The death record shows total OF
from eight to twelve cases since
January I, 1920. That is larger
number of deaths from the 'malady
than the total number OF the past
two years.
Tho latest victim known. Is Nancy
Thurston. four-year-old daughter OF
Mrs. Louise and Mr.. Victor Thurston,
OF Chatham Courts, who died March
26.
DIR. Fowler described the malady,
which he stated is not new disease,
but has long been a ravage among
very young children.
ats origin is unknown. In fact
very little Is known about II In medi-
cal science While some victims re-
cover just as many die. The symp-
toms are an acid stomach. a feverish
condition, and excessive and continued
spells OF vomiting.
In fact tho victim can retain moth :
ing on its stomach. Lack of nourish- :
ment of course, naturally results In
death. However. through careful
medical attention and skill. children
of average good constitutions may
survive.
No specific cure has yet been ef-
fected. The individual opinion OF the
attending physician is relied upon.
The malady has been diagnosed as
"an Intestinal disturbance. The dis
ease seldom attacks children above
eight years old"
DR.. Fowler advises that children
eat tho simple foods suited to their
Individual constitutions as a preven
tative. and avoid excessive indulgence
in fruits Ovcreating for fuits Is
common during the summer, It was
said.
The Health Department does moi
view the malady as alarming. or be-
lieve that 1t will ever reach the pro-
portions of the infantile paralysis

January, DR.. Fowler has required
report from the Bureau Of vital stats

It was midnight on the ocean,

 And it rained all day and night. It was summer day that winter,
 The rain was showing fast. A barefoot girl with shoes on

 Was setting in the west. The little fishes in the trees
 Were cuddled in their nest. While the organ peeled potatoes,
 Lard was render by the choir. While the sexton rang the dishrag
 Someone set the church on fire. "Holy Smoke"-the preacher cried.

Professor O. H. Richardson, at this point, volunteered another political story:
 A teacher asked her class of boys how many of them wanted to grow up and be the president of the United States. All eagerly held up their hands except one little fellow.
 "Why, Johnny" asked the teacher, "don't you want to be president ?"
 Twouldn't do me no good to want to-" replied Johnny, with tears in his eyes. My paws democrat"
 These two yarns got Major George w. Harben going.
 "This is an actual fact" said the major, "and is a part of the court records in the state of Colorado There were only seven democrats in the entire county. One of them was so well liked by the people of the county that he was elected judge.
 Shortly afterward, seven men, one of them republican, the others all democrats, set off into the hills pros- pecting. After several months the republican came back, alone. He ex- plained that all but him had been ov- ercome by thirst and hunger and were dead. There were some flaws in the story, and the officers investigated. They found the bones of the six men scattered around; but also discover ed bullet holes in the skull of each. It was apparent that there had been foul play.

Because Mrs. Morgan was the only
eye witness County Attorney Hoover
does not consider her evidence at all
sufficient to warrant attempting to
indict Morgan or prosecuting him.
Replying to criticism because he
has been holding Morgan in Jail for
ten days without n charge being filed
against him, the county attorney said
today. that he had decided to hold
Morgan until he could get what he
believed was coherent statement
from Mrs. Morgan.
He said that Monday afternoon he
thought was the first time since the
shooting when Mrs. Morgan was able
to give a fully comprehensive account
OF what took place.

the mystious shooting of his wife,
Mrs. Rhoda Morgan. at the formers

released from Jail on order OF Coun-
ty Attorney A. b. Hoover late this

Monday at the Deaconess hospital
where Mrs. Morgan Is recovering
from the bullet wound in her head.
Declaring that she did not shoot
herself. Mrs Morgan told the county
attorney that her husband must
say positively that Morgan did the
shooting. County Attorney Hoover
said today that, basing his action on
Mrs. Morgan's latest statement, he
did not consider there was evidence
sufficient to attempt to hold or indict
Morgan. He said the case would not
be taken to the grand jury on the
evidence now at hand.
Mrs. Morgan's Story.
For the first time since Mrs. Nor
gan was found badly wounded on the
floor of the hall near her husbands
room. she admitted Monday that she
fired the first shots in the row in
which she and her husband engaged.
In earlier statements she made she
had accused Mongan Of shooting her.
Mrs. Morgan went to her husbands
room with the revolver. This detail
she had already admitted soon after
the shooting. She said she fired the
first two shots. both of which lodged
in the wall OF the bath room. She
and Morgan then clinched in the
hallway and struggled for possession
Of the revolver.
Two more shots were fired while
