Dunn, Ruby, whose recov- ery is not expected from a para- lytic stroke suffered last Satur- day. During the night and this morning he continued to sink slow- ly but perceptibly. Hospital authorities said he ap- parently was less conscious today than yesterday and was semi- comatose. It is doubtful if he rec- ognizes visitors or attendants, al- though he can see them. The spread of the affliction has left | him completely helpless. From many parts of the Terri- {tury have come telegrams ot sym- pathy and encouragement, all of | which have been read to him, but | which it is not certain that he heard or understood. One of these, from his home of many years, Ruby, was read to kim yesterday afternoon by Represen- tative Andrew Nerland “of Fair- banks. It said: “Ruby friends just | heard of your illness. Sorry. When able to come home, wice.” | Mr. Nerland read it slowiy and ! distinetly. “I hope and am in- clined to believe he heard and un- derstood the telegram, althouzn I am not sure.

Country Children Stand High in Health Survey WASHINGTON, D. C, March 18. —The advantage of the pre-school city child over rural children in di- sease prevention service is not nearly so great as was anticipated, the national conference on child health and protection has found. Whereas half the city children under school age have had health examinations, only a little more than a third of the country chil- dren have had this service. But. the rural child is found astonishingly close to the city child in the matter of immunizations, and stands shoulder to shoulder with the city child in visits to the dentist. Only seven per cent of country children, however, have been vaccinated. - eee— ‘WOMEN OF Mooseheart Legion will hold regu- lar meeting Thursday night March 19 at 8 o'clock. Social to follow.
