MIR and Mrs. Fred Carston are
here this week, visiting Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Hersema, and helping them
with their threshing. Mr.. Hersema
has a threshing outfit Of his own and
can thresh at any time Il suits Is fancy.
We are hearing just little criti.
cism about our road commissioners not
having the weeds cut at a number Of
corners in the district. There are sew
eral corners in the district where the
weeds are so high that one cannot see
car coming in the OPPOSITE direction
until they are right onto each other,
and with the number Of cars on the
road, IL is a wonder that there has not
been some accidents. OF course, our
road commissioners are all farmers
and are very busy just now with their
crops, but some effort should be made
TO get these weeds cut before there l.
bad accident. Get busy, Mr.. Com
missioners, and see II you cannot get
some one 20 cu' these weeds.

on July 10, I91a, was bitten by a dog

Warfield, who IL now assigned to the
office OF Inspector Clifford l.. Grant.
chief OF detectives, was riding his
bicycle on Fifteenth street. near East
Capitol street, when he heard several
shots. When he looked back he saw
Sergeant Mccormick, now Of the
Tenth precinct, erhptying his revolver
ut dog. The animal had just bitten
the horse and was rushing toward a
child when Warfield dismounted from
hts bicycle and leaped between the
maddened animal and thu little one.
Pushing the child aside with one hand
he reached for his revolver with the
other.
It was at this juncture that the
dog bit Warfield on the middle finger
OF the right hand. When II was dis
covered that the dog was suffering
from rabies, warfield was Immediately
given the Pasteur treatment. He was
given ten injections of serum and
shortly sfterward became paralyzed
from the collarbone to his feet. For

BABY DEATHS ARE
LARGELY REDUCED

Pittsburgh, However, Shows
Most Striking Decrease In
Mortality Rate.

Since 1915 the Federal Government
has been able to keep ledger for the
birth registration area showing profit
and loss in terms OF infant life ana

satisfactory progress toward reocc

Pittsburgh lost more oabies In proper

In Pittsburgh as a whole, In 1871:
there was a loss during infancy Oh
one life out of every nine. The rates
varied greatly in different parts OF
the city, the rate III t"c h'Ss

every 1000 births, while In the most
favorable ward the rate was only o.

Nearly one-half this babies VINO

a month old. when deaths are largely

has been clearly demonstrated tina
such deaths are largely preventab.e
through care and instruction for the
mother before the baby IL horn, and
skilled care at and shortly after birth.
Nearly one.fourth Of the deaths were
caused by gastrointestinal diseases.
Deaths from these causes occur for
tho most part in the heat OF summer
They can be reduced through instruc-
