When He Saw What His
Chum's Gift Was.

Mysterious things were happening
around the house. An addition to the
census report of indianapolis was
expected, but Little Sonny didn't un-

We're going to have something
you'll love-" The mother said.
You're going to be tickled to death

Little Sonny didn't understand at

he told his little pal next door about
it.
Whatever you get you've got to

WATCH YOUR HEALTH
DURING RAINYSS
Present Weather Conditions
Conducive TO Spread
of Diseases.

Or. ]. A. Jamison, city health
officer, today issued a warning 10
all residents Of the city to be-
especially careful of their health
during the present warm rainy
spell. Doctor Jamison's reason
for this warning is due to the fact
that after every such warm rainy
spell last year a large number Of
cases Of diphtheria and scarlet
fever were reported to headquar-
tiers by the doctors OF the city.
ut appears" Doctor Jamison
said, "that the kind of weather
we are eHcountering today is con-
dusive to the spread Of these two
contagious diseases. The heavy
atmosphere of days like today
keeps the disease germs nearer TO
the surface Of the earth and also
has a depressing effect on persons
who are not physically strong.
persons who are not in the
best physical condition are more
susceptible to taking contagious
diseases on days like today than
at any other time. Anyone be-
coming i'll after spells OF this
kind OF weather should consult
their physicianl at once. In many
cases prompt treatment may pre-
vent serious fitness and II a per-
son does contract diphtheria or
scarlet lever IL 1.-The cases are
taken In charge right away by a
physician the disease will not be
as dangerous or the period OF ILL
ness as long. ="
The city is also passing through
a mild epidemic Of chicken pox at
the present time, according TO
Doctor Jamison. The disease Is
mild and in many cases the pa
tlents are not sick enough to keep
them belfast. The city does mot
enforce a rigid quarantine on
chicken pox, but Doctor Jamison
ihstructs all physicians to keep
children out of school when q
member of the family has the dis
sass and other children are not
allowed to go into the room oc-
cupied by the putienst. The physi-
ci:ns have also been warned by
the health officer to keep chill
dren who have been i'll out If
school until all the signs of the
disease have disappeared.
There is no cause. for alarm on
account Of this epidemic as It
visits the city annually. and Doc
tor Jamison Just mentioned 1t in
order to make sure that all par
sons will be familiar with the
quarantine regulations in regard
to chicken pox and thereby pre-
vent the spread of the disease In
the schools Of the city.

ment at maturity, may be made
now at postoffices, banks, aud

ply to exchange the whole or part
Of their 1918. War Savings Stamps
at maturity value for Treasury
Savings Certificates to be dated
January. 1, 1923, with the differ
ence either way to be paid in cash
or they may arrange for full cash
payment to be made at maturity.
Immediate payment will be made
in cash Of any difference due to
holder IL he takes the largest pos
sible amount of Treasury Savings
Certificates in the exchange.
The Treasury Savings Certitl-
Gates, offered in exchange for War
Saving Stamps at their face ya,ue
of IS each, are a government se-
curity similar in al; respects to
the War Saving Stamps, yielding
4 per cent interest, compounded
semi-annually, il held to maturity,
or 8 per cent simple interest II re-
deemed prior to maturity, except
that they are issued In denomina-
lions Of SIS. 500 and 81, 900.
An opportunity is thus offered
for the reinvestment OF funds on
a most attractive basis. Holders OF
$25 In War Savings Stamps can
now obtain a SIS Treasury Saving
Certificate and $3.50 in cash.
500 in War Savings Stamps will
be exchanged for a 500 Treas
ury Saving Certificate and SIS in
cash. An owner Of $1,000 in War
Savings Stamps can get a $1,000
Treasury Savings Certificate and
two 500 Treasury Saving CertlEi-

Possibly delay and confusion
may be avoided by prompt prescn-
