OKLAHOMA MAKES
SPLENDID PROGRESS
IN HEALTH WORK

Oklahoma City, Dec. 15.-Unprece-
dented expansion, amounting TO 4Oo
per cent for the year just ending
has been made in public health, hy-
giene, and sanitation activities con-
Quoted in Oklahoma under the direc-
ton of the Red Cross. according to
an announcement received today from
Southwestern Division headquarters in
st. Louis by state supervisor OF nurs-
ing, Miss Rosaline Mackay. The an
nouncement shows the extension OF
health activities throughout the divis-
ion, comprising Arkansas, Kansas,
Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas, TO be
400 per cent for the year. Invalu-
able results are expected from the
great strides in the development OF
this health work, one of the chief
items In the Red Cross peacetime pro-
gram.
Comprehensive plans for still fur
ther rapid extension of the service
until eventually it will reach out into
every Oklahoma county where no
other organization is doing this work,
with a full time public health nurse
on duty is the aim OF the southwest
ern division nursing department, the
announcement sets forth. With the
fourth roll call concluded the first
step in this enlargement will be the
placing as soon as suitable personnel
can be obtained of 81 additional public
health nurses in counties not now
served, thus farther expanding the
service by 1870 per cent.
On January l of this year the num-
Der of Red Cross public health
nurses in Oklahoma stood at four
while on December l the total had
climbed to 16. 1t is hoped to bring
every Oklahoma child under the sup
ervision Of a public health nurse tc
reduce the large proportion Of physical
defects hindering the best healthy de-
velopment. Not only the standard OF
personal health in the child life oi
the state but the scholarship rating
as well will be improved, it is ex'
pected.

RELIC OF BY-G0NE
DAYS REL LIS To
A RDM Q Re CITIZENS
THE DISASTER OF 1895

An interesting relic Of by-gone days
is a COPY of the "Ardmore Wind
Bag" published by stephens and Com
pany, under date of April 81, 1895,
which has been kept all these years
by Mrs. w. r. Roberts, wife of former
Mayor Roberts.
The entire edition is devoted to a
report Of fire which goes down in
Ardmore's history as 1.-THE Fire of
1S95"-these words being significant,
to those who made their home here
at that time as synonymous with de
struction."
Headlines of the paper reads Ard
more Disaster; "The Business Por-
tion Of the City in Ruins" "The Most
Conservative Estimate of the Loss is
Placed at s500,00O"; zone Hundred
and Thirty-One Places of Business
Destroyed; Insurance Estimated at
$3.50 ,OO0."
Then follows a list of the business
places burned beginning the story as
follows: "At 1920 O'Clock Friday
morning fire which broke out in
the Harper and Cecil livery stable
on North Caddo street, spread there
from both north and south with
great fierceness. AS no complete list
of all the sufferers has yet been
made, we give the following as near
as we can obtain them at present
The list includes the names of many
Ardmore merchants who are now in
business in this city.
| Despite the evident hardships the
wind Bag" was experiencing the
editor retained his sense of humoi
and the following paragraph appears
'sThe Wind Bag" is busted. Thursday
night it was a fully developed, thirty
ing newspaper. We put it in Ramsey
and Ross safe and having il full
of good religious reading felt secure
but the plans of the newspaper mel
gang aft a-glee.' In the dark hour:
before the dawn. the fire king wrap
ped his mantle Of smoke wreath:
around il and sticking out his blazing
tongue licked the stuffing out of it
We do not know for certain, but We
found the safe blown all TO pieces
and suppose the explosion of the
Wind Bag did it.

loss. a careful inventory disclose!

pot, one pair of scissors, one offic,

and it had also been used by oul
devil as a Sunday handkerchief;

Panhandle. The devil lost diamond
ring, but he can easily replace that" 7"
Reference was also made to the
Daily Ardmorelte, which was at that
time published by Wilson and Parker,
and the Wind Bag very generously
offered them the use of their 81
column rule and a shooting stick
We like the grit of the Ardmoreite
and as long as there is a clean corner
on the office towel you can use it."
The service of the newspaper was
forcibly brought out in the closing
editorial as follows: "Ardmore is in
ruins, scorched by the hot blast, rolled
up and crinkled by breath more in
vincible than the deadly cyclone. Our
city lies desolate. ghastly skeleton
walls are all that remain of the hard
years of trial and perseverance. After
it is too late we can recognize the
fact that we builded unwisely. We
have no waterworks, we have no mod
ern conveniences for conquering the
fire fiend, and the consequences are
appalling.-When will the fool ac-
cumulate wisdom and the wise profit
by bitter experiences. How simple
the figures that teach us that $4,000
invested in waterworks is better thar
the desolation of the fire king. A
bitter lSson is taught by the one
significant fact, th9t not one dollar
has been expended in an effort tc
protect our property"
The concluding paragraph, as evi'
denced by the present city of Ard
more, was true. 1t reads as fol
lows: "But we are not the kind OF
people who sit and whine over the
unavoidable. Brave hearts and strong
hands built our city and the same
courage and strength will rebuild it.

POISONOUS WHISKEY

Poison drinks will again take their
toll of life during the holiday period
that is approaching. Every man who
fndulges in drink during such
period knows this 10 be true but he
also thinks he knows that II
Will be the other fellow who will get
the poison. The man who drinks is
tike the street corner politician, he
knows more than the president or
any one who occupies u lesser walk
in life and he usually does as he
pleases. But the drinker is not the
only one concerned. He has some
one in his life who will suffer from
his misfortunes. Liquor made under
a stress Of fear is not made properly.
The moonshiner with the Inv on his
trail will not devote enough care TO
the manufacture OF his product and
there is danger ahead for the man
who swigs 1t. Suppose you say in
your heart now that you will not
