But they could not abandon Ralph. To take Ralph with them they would have to get a boat, and the only chance of doing that was for one of them to swim over to the mainland camp after » dark and try to steal a canoe. He himself would have to go.

LeNoir’s using him to bait some deadfall for us. Let's find out what his game is.” He dressed quickly, walked over to Tenn-Og, nodded to him. “It’s a surprise to see you, friend. So you brought us @ canoe. That's fine! But why?” ‘Tenn-Og pointed to his forehead and shoulder wounds, as a reminder that the white strangers had once helped him. “Is the white girl over there at the camp?” Curt asked. She had left last night, Tenn-Og said. LeNoir had started her north to the white man jn charge of three dependable guides. “Wasn't it you last evenins.” Curt inquired sardonically, “who led imbing cold at first. those three canoes down at the north tip of this island?” ‘ENN-OG admitted leading the canoes. But, he added, at the right moment he had pulled his men out of the fight by shouting to them that the whites were killing the other Klosohees. When he backed off, it had broken up those plans. Curt studied the dusky face sharp- ly. It was the most impassive face he had ever met with, as unreadable as a granite mask. Tenn-Og’s ex- planation did fit the circumstance, the whole story sounded plausible enough; but still he did not quite believe it. “Siam-Klale and LeNoir have cooked up something for us,” he told Paul. “They want to get it over with in a hurry, so they’re using this fellow to trap us with. Well, they've got another guess coming! And in the meantime we've got ~ canoe!” Curt inspected the craft. It was a twenty-foot birchbark, large enough for five or six people. The Indian had brought three extra pad- dies, sleeping robes for the four of | them, and food—several pounds of caribou jerky and two large roasted | fish wrapped in leaves. That tempt | ing food made Curt suspicious. “We'd better stay away from it,; Paul. LeNoir is an artist with poison, | and it'd be like him to salt grub; with strychnine and send it to us.”; All thoughts of going on after Joseph Otto IV, arrived on the; lips, U. S. M.

Ralph's life came | first, They picked up the canoe, took it nearer the barricade, and floated it.

NEGRO WOUNDED | TROPICAL DISEASE OUTBREAK AND MEASURES TO CHECK Amoebie dysentery, a disease, which long has been known in tropical and subtropical countries: but heretofore has been found only in isolated cases in this country, has assumed epidemic proportions in Chicago. Reports to the Public Health Service show that from early in July of this year to Nov. 9, there have been 79 cases with 7 deaths identified in Chicago, besides 34 cases with 8 deaths, having origin in Chicago, which have been traced to other places. : In many instances. these cases were not generally recognized as' amoebic dysentery and in some cases have been mistaken for other’ conditions such as appendicitis or' ulcerative colitis, it is pointed out by the Public Health Service, Dr, R. S. Spencer, specialist of the Service in bacteriology, who already has made a long study of the disease, was sent to Chicago by Surgeon General Hugh S, Cum- mings as soon as reports indicated the seriousness of the outbreak, Carriers Spread Disease From previous studies the Serv- ice has found that the disease is caused by an organism known medically as enthamoeba histoly- tica. This infection is communi- cated to well persons by those suf- fering from the disease and also is spread by healthy carriers of the germs. In Chicago it was found through the research ef- forts of Dr. H. N. Bundesen, Health Commissioner of Chicago, that the epidemic was spread large- ly by healthy carriers who were employes of retail food markets. A warning symptom of the dis- ease is pain in the abdomen, and the dysentery becomes evident LEGALS ¥ TY, HE COURT OF TH J . MONROE, co FLORIDA, IN PROBATE. n Estate of ALFRED HIGGS, deceased.

P& very soon, it is explained by Pu lic Health Service officials. The Service has issued a warn ing to all State health officers s gesting that they be on the ale: for cases of the disease, especial, those having possible origin in Chi cago, and that they make promp reports of all cases coming to thei attention. F Dr. Spencer, in.a telegram to t Surgeon General November 14, said: “After carefully analyzing th available evidence we are forced to the conclusion that many cases of amoebic dysentery occurred in Chi- cago before the present outbreak was recognized, This statement, however, cannot be taken as a criticism of local physicians since the disease in the majority of cas- es manifests itself in a very mild form, often indistinguishable elin- ically from a slight diarrhoea and colic pains, due to indiscretions in diet, “Indeed, competent authorities in this field, men who have devot- — ed a lifetime of study to this mal- ady, have.said that’ not more than — 10 percentief people infected ~ith amoebic d. tery ever show any marked symptoms. : “The present outbreak has reached epidemi¢ proportions be cause of the large number of heal- thy carriers among food han Undoubtedly it is this group o: people who have. unconsciously |spread the infection throughout the! country, Efforts at pre . therefore must be concentrated up-_ on the discovery and proper treat. ment of carriers among the public food handiers, : “Much can be done also to corde home infections by the education of the public in personal cleanli- ness and the careful washing and disinfecting of the hands of all_ persons who prepare food for others.” An appropriation not to exceed $500 during the present schoo! year has been authorized by th board of city commissioners a‘ Owensboro, Ky., for the Needy Kiddies’ Lunch Fund. ?
