Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

Smallpox is one of the common in
fictitious diseases of childhood and
is caused by an organism which gets
into the body and begins it's action.
A certain amount of time elapses be-
tween the period when the germ first
enters the body and when its visible
manifestations appear. This is known
as the incubation period, which is
usually from 10 days to two weeks,
when the patient breaks out with
crop of blisters, accompanied by
high fever, slight headache, dizziness
and nausea. 1t is not safe to disre-
gard any of these symptoms. If this
disease is to be prevented and brought
under control, one must learn it's ma
ture, the method of its spread as we'll
as that of prevention.
Vaccination A Sure Prevention.
Vaccination against smallpox is
very important for everybody, that
is the one sure prevention against the
disease. Other precautions are keep
ing as clean as possible, including fire.

Panama CITY

Panama City on the Pacific is
filled with fine old churches of the
Spanish Colonial era, moss-covered
forts and battlements and historic
buildings. The hotels, however, are
new and modern. In addition to
the canal, with it's ever changing
scene of water-borne traffic, the gay
life and round of parties with the
military and the navy crowd when
ships are in and the excitement of
the carnival season, there is plenty
of time for peaceful repose along the
miles of beaches. Then there is
fishing, both near the mainland and
out among the Cocos islands in the
Pacific. Planes and fast modern
ships have brought Panama almost
to the back door of the United
States and it's natural advantages
have made of it one of our most
popular tropical recreation resorts.

Alva Fogt, who resigned to accept the
primary position at Friesland, No. 35.
More Home Teachers.
Miss Alyce Teich of Pine City, who
has taught seven years in district AZ,
lie and Friesland upper room) has

at Bruno. This position was left
vacant by the resignation of Miss Ar
dyce Faudskar of Finlayson. Miss
Faudskar goes to a better position
farther west. Bruno school seeks
to use Pine county resident teachers
as much as possible. Miss Teich is
one of the many fully qualified and
successful Pine county rural teachers

to graded school positions. Our high

boards will go a long way to find any
better, when vacancies occur. We
have some of the best.

Stock Rises on Visit,
But Has Far Yet 10 Go
Big Turnout at TuIso
Is Surprise; Wallace
To Speak This Week
BY OTIS SULLIvANT,


OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 2l.-Re-
publican stock went up in Oklahoma
last week after Wendell L. willkie
knocked briskly at the door Of this
Democratic stronghold.
Republican leaders truly led with
their ace in the Tulsa meeting. 1t
gave the party workers q needed shot
Of enthusiasm and the turnout of
10000 persons caused them to start
working for a return of the nominee
to the State later In the campaign
This week 1t will be the Demo-
Gratis who grab the spotlight in the
State. Henry A. Wallace. Demo-
cratic nominee for Vice President,
will be in the State for three
speeches at Blackwell, Enid and
Woodward next Thursday. He is
billed in the wheat growing section
ers in line. All three cities, more
over, are in Oklahoma s one doubtful
congressional district, the 9th.
Ross Ridley, Guymon, former State
Senator and Republican nominee. is
pushing Phil Ferguson, Woodward,
Democratic incumbent, in the dis
trict. and Democrats are concen-
trating their big guns there in hope
of returning nine Democratic Repre-
sentatives.
The big Republican showing for
Mr.. WILKES visit was somewhat of
a surprise to Oklahomans, as well as
to Mr.. Willkie and newspaper cor
respondents travelling with him.
1t doesn't mean Oklahoma is 60
ing Republican. as the State gave
President Roosevelt q 25s 900 major
ity in 1896 and present indications
are he will get a majority Of we'll
over 100000, barring q tremendous
upset in October The meeting did
mean. however, that Tulsa County,
the second largest county in the
State, probably is In the Willkie
column and that there is much in
terest in Oklahoma in the Repubn-
can candidate.
