Pneumonia Patienta


 Pneumonia is spread both directly and indirectly from person to person. The germ is probably carried most frequently from the lungs, nose, and mouth of those who have the disease. In caring for patient, the preven- ton of the spread of the disease to others is important
 No one should be allowed to sleep in the same room with the patient. In fact, no one bu the nurse should be allowed in the room.
 Care should be taken that all dis charges from the lungs, mouth and the nose are collected on bits of gauge or rag, or paper napkins, and burned.
 If the patient complains of head ache and fever, he should be given water to drink, and a cold compress to the forehead. Only such medicine should be given as is prescribed by the doctor.
 If the patient IS so situated that he can be attended only by some one who must also look after others in the fam fly, it is advisable that such attendant wear q wrapper, apron or gown over the ordinary house clothes while in the sick room. and slip this on and wash and disinfect his hands when leaving to look after the others.
 The patient should have separate dishes and these should be sterilized with boiling vatsx after use.

(sy Newspaper Enterprise)

ARDMORE, okla, March 1o-The prosecution has succeeded in keeping a mystery the principal points on which it will try to send Clara Smith Hamop to the penitentiary for the murder of Jake Hamon.
 But three features are expected to develop at the trial of the young wom- an who shot and killed the multi mil 1onaire oil man and politician after as sociating openly with him for 10 years
 First: That Hamon was being black mailed on the day he was shot, Sunday, Nov 2l
 Second: That Hamon, after giving the world his word that the shooting was an accident, changed his version
 Third: That Clara Hamon, only two weeks before the shooting, bought the fatal revolver in Oklahoma City
 On these points, it is expected, Atty Gen. Prince Freeing will rely to prove that the killing was done with deliber-- ate reconciliation
 Biackmail Charge
 The story common in Ardmore is that during the afternoon preceding the evening of the shooting Hamon was in his offices opposite the Hotel Randol, where he and Clara Hamon were living Friends were with him, and frequent Iy he was called to the telephone. The conversation indicated that several of these calls came from the same person but not Clara Hamon. Once Hamcn IS said to have shouted:
 You damned blackmailer. I know why you are in towni'
 Then he slammed the receiver on the hook in great anger.
 Little has been hinted as to the pos siDle identity of the telephone caller but it is believed tine state may attempt to show that Clara Hamon, facing parting forever with the man who mad decided to go back to his wife and chill dren, might have been inspired by this mysterious caller to shoot Hamon
 After the shooting. Hamon walked the several blocks intervening between the Randol hotel and the Hardy sani- tarium, where he died.
 "I'n Going to Die"
 As he entered the hospital, he said to his old friend. Dr. Walter Hardy, Doe, I'm going to 1ie.''
 The word was given out at the hos pital, and later by Hamon'S friends who called on him there. including Frank Ketch, his general manager, that Hamon said he had shot himself &C., cidentally
 But Clara Hamon since then has ad- mitted she shot Hamon, claiming it was done in self defense
 laration has been made by any of the physicians who attended Hamon, or the friends who called on him, that he

LOVES WAGES

The wages of love small, small You scarce might know they paid at all glance, smile, or the clasp of hands. The coin of a heart that understands A name soft whispered, fingered kiss The wages of love are paid in this But. oh, the magic such coin can buy The waking joy of a dawn flushed sky Drudgery speeding on skyarks' wings, Songs in the heartbeats of common things, And firelit shadows of evening blent With peace and comfort and all content The wages of love are small, small One scarce could say that they cost at all Yet lives lonely, and hearts still ache In bitter lack for the coins sake; And many silk-clad life of ease

 This is the outstanding question as the trial draws near Even should they say Hamon pri- vately told them Clara Hamon shot him, and shot him under such circum-
 stances as the state charges. yet there
 is doubt whether their testimony would

 Clara Hamon, in an interview glVei while she was in Mexico, was quot4d F. saying that the gun with which S.ss shot Jake Hamon had been given t0Yher by Hamon himself.
 That the prosecution will seek to. prove that Clara, not Hamon, bought the gun in an Oklahoma City hardware store is one probable angie to the forth coming trial.
 The Oklahoma law requires that every sale of firearms must be regis tered on the books of the concern that sells.
 It is said that the state will attempt to show that the revolver which figured in the Hamon tragedy was purchased about a fortnight before the shooting
 Also it is expected that state may attempt to prove that Clara Hamon on one previous occasion drew gun on Hamon. The story. which so far has not been positively established, is that a friend of lannon's entered his room suddenly just at the moment the girl was pointing a gun at Hamon- 'I beg your pardon: do I intrGde2 the visitor is reported to have asked, whereupon Hamon knocked the weapon from the surprised girls hand The state also is expected to sum mon as a witness a reporter who claimed Clara Hamon told him after she had decided to surrender and stand trial:
