Lack $94.16 of Goal
AS Health Seal Sale
Goes Into Final Day

A total of $94.16 worth of health
seals and health bonds must be dis.
posed of today to bring the sale oil
Christmas Health Seals to the goa
of $1,000, which had been set. This
is the final day and realizing that the
top of the hill is the hardest pull, the
workers will redouble their efforts
to attain that goal by the end of the
sale tonight.
The aid of those citizens who have
not yet purchased seals or who have
not secured enough of them to meet
their needs has been requested by
Charles S. Brown, in charge of the
sale, and he further requests all who
have received letters in which
stamps were enclosed to Immediately
send the stamps or their price in the
stamped envelope which was sent
with them to Mayor Ernest L. Nc
Lean. This is done in order that the
complete report of the sale may be
made at once.
The sum realized by this sale will
assist materially in the work of Miss
Jennie Ballantyne, the Augusta Pub
lie Health nurse. OF the gross
amount received for the stamps, st
per cent is retained by the Augusta
Public Health Association, and of the
remaining 20 per cent, one half goes
to the Maine Public Health Associa-
ition, so that in all 30 per cent OF
the gross amount remains in the
State of Maine. The amount re-
ceived by the Augusta Public Health
Association will be used to further

Christmas in Porto Rico

Christmas in Porto Rico is a relig-
ious holiday and not gift day. The
real celebration, such as. we know,
comes in January and is called Three
Kings Day. The fifth, sixth and sew
enth days of the month celebrate the
visit of the Wise Men to Christ's
birthplace. On the evening of jan
uary 5 the children arrange boxes
containing grass outside the windows
of their homes for the horses CT the
Kings. Inside are placed their shoes
for the gifts that the Wise Men bring
them, as they did the Christ child,
Almost two weeks are given up to
merrymaking among both old and
young. There is little work done, es-
,pecially among the country people
who go from house to house for
dancing.
The guitar and many odd instru-
ments some of which are of Indian
origin, furnish the music. One of the
group often sings, improvising words
to suit the occasion. In the absence
of music for dancing, hides are tight
ly stretched on sticks and are
beaten to the accompaniment of a
rasping noise made by scratching
with wire a gourd cut with grooves
before drying

FEUD IS FEARED
IN L0zANO
STAbb|NG

Inez Lozano, o011 Morales street
is dying in the Robert b. Green hos
pital, a victim of the knife attack OF
five men Sunday night.
San Antonio police Tuesday wer'
taking stern measures to check any at
tempt at reprisals in what is feared to
be a feud, as they seek the five men
who sprang from the darkness to at
tacl; Lozana.
Just three months ago Joe Lozano,
special railroad detective and brother
Of the wounded man, was shot to death
by a hidden enemy, who used a shot
gun.
FOUGHT TO LAST.
The wounded officer, his gun-arm
shattered by the first shot, attempted
to crawl to the post behind which his
enemy was ambushed. But his body
was riddled with bullets, and he
crumpled in death before he ever
reached his assailant. There were 81
wounds in his body.
After Joe Lozano's death, there ap-
peared huge posters on billboards in
parts of the city. bearing his pictur
and a verse singing his heroism ana
proves. Joe Lozano was noted as a
fearless man, dexterous with a gun.
Police attempted, as far as possibl'
to suppress these posters, fearing the
would lead to further fatalities in the
feared feud.
Sunday night, Inez Lozano with two
friends were the victims of an ui.-
provoked knife attack at Zarzamora
and Guadalupe streets. Lozano re
ceived several gashes and stabs which
physicians fear will prove fatal.
His friends in making report at
the police station declared Lozano was
the object Of the attack. They each
received wounds in attempting to
rescue him from the quintet.
Police Tuesday are searching the
city for three men suspected of tax
ing part in the attack.

ONE-LEGCED MANS
PARADISE STOLEN
BY SNEAK THIEF

Betting was heavy in detective head
quarters Tuesday.
Some officers contended that either
a one-legged man would have shoes to
wear for the remainder of his life, or
certain thief would be sadly disap-
pointed when he exmined his loot.
The reason for their wagers was the
reported theft of sample case from
j. /. Rottenberg, 210 Epson street.
The case contained 81 boots for the
right foot and 25 shoes for the same
member.
Rottenberg estimated the value Of
the boots and shoes at 1888. Four
sample suits Of clothes were also re-
ported stolen at the same time.
