TURKEYS ARE HARD TO RAISE
Reason is Because PouIts Are Allowed
to Become Chilled or Damp
and Infested.

Many people say that turkeys are
too hard to raise, and fewer of them
are raised from the number Of eggs
set than any other kind of fowl This
Is almost always because the little
poults are allowed to get chilled or
damp or lousy during the first month
or six weeks After that age turkeys
are the hardest of fowls.

How Diphtheria is con,racted.

One often hears the expression. My
child caught a severe cold which de-
veIoped into diphtheria, when the truth
was that the cold had simply left the
little one particularly susceptible to
the wandering diphtheria germ. If
your child has a cold when diphtheria
is prevalent you should take him out
of school and keep him off the street
until fully recovered, as there is a
hundred times more danger of his
taking diphtheria when he has cold.
When Chamberlains Cough Remedy is
given it quickly cures the cold and
lessons the danger of diphtheria or any
other germ disease being contracted

CAR AFTER COILS
ION RUNS OVER BOY
The Steering Gear Gave Way
While Being Run in For
Repairs.

AS the result of an automobile ac-
cident, the injuries received by the
little five year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. 7, w. Maddux yesterday at
1880 may prove fatal.
The unusual circumstances of the
accident are the fact that the car that
ran over the little boy was already
damaged from collision just prior
to the time it collided with the Mad
dux child when 1t was being run in
to garage to have repairs made.
The steering gear of the car had al
ready been damaged and just after
1t had gotten under headway after
the first accident it became unman-
ageable at a point where the little
Maddux child was on the edge of
the roadway near the ditch, at Went
worth's corner the driver of the car
being unable to control it and the car
passed over the little boy. Richard
Cassidy sustained minor injuries
while down in the ditch.
The first accident happened when
Andrew Smith in Mr.. Oscar Hart
mans Ford car and David Currie,
driving truck owned by Mr.. w. S.
Rutter, went together at Mr.. Hiram
Cassedy's corner. The Ford had its
steering gear smashed to some extent
as we'll as more or less minor injuries
done to both car and truck. The
attempt Of VIM. Gregg, boy of Ia,
to run the Hartman car to a garage
for repairs was when the accident to
the little boy happened.
The affair is a regrettable one In
the extreme, but from what can be
learned of it, it was purely and sim
ply an accident and unavoidable un-
der the circumstances.

Mr. Barge Thanks Brookhaven
Friends.
To Our Friends:-

To Our Friends:-
Upon my return from Chicago a.
mong you, after the ordeal through
which we have passed in the very
critical illness of our eldest daughter
Elsie, / want to express something
of the appreciation of myself and
wife for the many messages of SYM
pathy and interest received at the
Grant Hospital from our Brookha-
ven friends. In doing this wish to
assure our friends that their many
appreciated courtesies brought
strength and hope in our darkest
hours and made us feel in the days
when our loved one seemed drifting
beyond our reach, that the ties of
friendship for her and for us were
a consolation indeed and source of
helpfulness and renewed faith that
all things were working out for good,
altho we could not realize it in our
anxiety and. apprehension Of loss and
sorrow.
1t was impossible to answer the
many messages received and sol take
this method of expressing our deep
appreciation for all fayors and cour-
tesies extended us. Sincerely,
T. G. Barge.
