We can help you in the proper selec¬ tion of the things most needed in the home and sick¬ room, and whatever we offer or sell you can be de¬ pended on as the truest and purest to be had.

Last Sunday the congregation al the niorning and evening services at th<i Methodist church had a rare treat. Mr. and Mrs. Leon Rice, artista of national reputation, were present and added much to the musical part of each serv¬ ice.
Mr, Kice has a wonderful dramatitj tenor voice of greal sweetness, range and power, and has studied wilh the leading teachers of America and Europe and for years has been a church and concert singer, commanding the largest salaries and recognized as at the very front of his profession.
Sunduy morning, at the close of the sermon, Mr, Itice rendered Cam])ion's ¦¦.Ninety and Nine," It was a inagniftceiit ending to a helpful service. In the even¬ ing Mr, Rice sang four solos, happily chosen lo Ht into the service and ren¬ dered with rare ability.
On Monday evening Mr, Rice gave a song recital which delighted the au¬ dience of lovers of good music which liad gathered in the church. The pro¬ gram was hoth classic and popular in character. There were selections from grand opera ond gleanings from the choicest songs of sentiment, folk songs and negro melodies. Any one fond of music in any form would have found something to enjoy, and all was Inter¬ preted in a masterly way,
Mr, Kice has the air of one trying to tell his song stories in the most perfect way rather than of one trying to display his musical gifts and training. He is not a vocal acrobat. He is a true artist. His voice is big, hut it can be as gentle as a summer zephyr. He does his work easily so thai one does not think of the height lo which it has climbed, so big and full and sweet is that magniflcent voice as it sweeps to some great climax of song,
Mrs, Kice "accompanies her husband In all his singing, and happy is he to have one so gifted and capable In such work to sustain him. It is but fair to say that much of tlie revelation of his own genius would be impossible were it not for the musical abilily and deft, sure touch of Mrs. Rice as she supports his voice with the piano.
These two artists are charming peo¬ ple. They lift a most happy Impression

"Keep the kiddles cool, clean and comfortable. Keep them out of cars, and especially away from kiddies with colds or other ailments. Keep the flies away by covering or destroy¬ ing anything that might attract the flies," says the Department of Social Welfare of the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor in a statement issued on Monday in which it gives practical sugges¬ tions to the residents of New York City and its suburbs with regard to the Infantile paralysis epidemic. The Btatement saye further:
"If your kiddies are In the coun¬ try, be thankful for that and keep theni tliere. If they are not In the country or at the shore, get tliem there if you can, but have all pos¬ sible consideration for the people in the country. Before going away with a child from a district where there have been cases, have the child care¬ fully examined to make sure that he ia in a condition to go away and that he cannot spread the disease.
"Also keep calm yourself. Infantile paralysis is a frightful thing, to be guarded against by every possible precaution. But it is reassuring to think that even in New York City, where the epidemic is worst, only one child in i;,000 has had the disease. That one chance in 2,000 should be guarded against absolutely, but it is not sufficient cause for panic,
"In New York's suburbs, where the percentage of cases is still less, there is still less cause for alarm because all conditions are less favorable for the spread of the diease."
The four fresh air homes and camps of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor are full to their capacity with mothers and children from the tenements and hundreds ot appeals are coming in daily from anxious parents who want to get their children away from the city. As soon as the tenement mothers learned that the fresh air homes, especially Sea Breeze, are admitting no children ex¬ cept after the most careful examina¬ tion by doctors and nurses and that every possible precaution was being taken, they began to appeal more urgently than ever for outings for their children. To meet the emerg¬ ency, the association is adding addi¬ tional nurses to its staff as fast as they can be secured. Wherever it la possible to do so safely and quickly, the capacity of the association's out¬ ing places will be enlarged to meet the increased demand being made upon them.

June 30, lyifi. Dear l--oIk,s:
We have been on the road now since Tuesday noon and are now about 40 inll,-,« out of Dallas, Up to Indianapolis, wliich we reached Wednesday evening about 1 p, ni„ we had traveled in regu¬ lar day coaches, but at Indianapolis they shifted our wiiole outfit to Pull¬ mans, which, of course, are much more comfortable.
We arrived at St, Louis Thursday noon and from there went to Sedalli, where we sloppeil for about one hour, l-;very time we stoji to change engines, «e all get out and march around to get some exercise. Today we landed at -Muskogee, Okla, about 10.:!0. and from Ihere on to Dennison. Texas, a town of about 10,000. I should judge.
The country we have been passing through Is prarle Just as far as you can see in every direction. There is a good breeze blowing and we do nol suffer so much from the ileal because U's so dry. You can't hurry these southern peo¬ ple with dynamite, and wlien we stop at a town and rush Into the stores to buy anything, they Just look on and wonder, making no effort apparently to hurry up and serve us. They are very hospitable and kind lo us, but they wouldn't last in New York for a minute, unii-ss they adapted themselves to our way of living,
Hy far the most beautiful country we have passed through was the roiling farm eountry of Ohio and Indiana. There the houses were comfortable looking and well kept up and the people who came down to the stations lo see us all appeared prosperous and intense¬ ly enthusiastic.
At Richmond, Indiana, the whole town waa at the station, probably fivo or six thousand people, with a band. The mayor passed up and down thc train shaking hands and they gave us a great send off.
The people in Texas appear to be more up to date in the small towns than those of Oaklahoina, but the larger cities of Oaklahonia are right up to snuff In every particular.
We are stopped now In the middle Ilf the prarle and in the distance it looks exactly like a large expanse of water, A ftine breeze Is blowing across the land; there isn't anything in sight higher than a few Cottonwood trees. The wh-oie expanse Is excessively green, except for brown patches where are wheat fields that have been harvested. The corn is grown up shoulder high and along the railroad are millions of black-eyeil susans, which make a yel¬ low border on each side of the track. HI'KGKSS OSTKKH'OCT.

DR, PHIPPS ADRESSES PUBUC
LETTER To CITIZENS OF
TOWN.
To the Citizens of the Town of Hemp¬ stead: Infantii,- paralysis is deflned a.s an acute Inflammatory process in a part of the spinal cord accompanied in most ca.-ies by a sudden and complete pa¬ ralysis of various groujia of voluntary muscles and later by a. wasting of those muscles.
The sp.icific cause of Ihl" disease has not as yet bei-n dolermlned. but it is tliought that the poison starts in the nose, mouth and throat and travels thence through the hlood currenl to the spinal cord. The di.seasc most often at¬ tacks children under three yenrs of age but it also freiiuently attacks adults. Therefore the name "Infantile Paraly¬ sis' Is misleading to the general pub¬ lic. Cases occur most often during the hot summer months and statlstlca havo shown that boys are attacked oftener than girls and that certain groups of muscles of the right leg are th.- ones often,.st Involved, The occurrence of epidemics confirms the theory of the apeclflc nature of the disease.
The onset of the disease may be marked by a cold in the head, vomit- ing, diarrhoea, nervous disturbances, tenderness of muscles and spine, and fever. In rale cases the paralysis Itself is the firsl evidence of any trouble. The average period between exposure to the infection and the onset of symp¬ toms is about one week.
Tile muscular wasting may be no- ti<-id In a week or two and any paraly¬ sis remiilning after three months is apt to be iiermanenl, .\s Ihere Is rarely an iiivolvemenl of th,' brain, tin- mind will not be affected and suhsequentiy ilisiasi-s like epilepsy will not develop. I'rrvrnHve Mranurrs. Keep ehiidren away from each other as much as possihie, avoid puhlic meet¬ ings or places of amusement. Do not allow children lo havo household pets. Maintain the house and grounds in as cl,-an and sanitary condition as pos¬ sible, .Ml dusting should he done with a damp cloth.
Freijuently cleanse nose and throat Willi some solution as boric acid or siiliitlon of common salt and water, the latter In proportion of a teaspoonful to a pint. Keep lhe children protected fiom Ilies,
In inunicipalitles where it Is possible frequent watering of the roads, esiiec- lally the dirt ones, is an effective meas¬ ure as the disease Is no doubt dust- borne.
If ynur cliildn-ii ahow any symptoms of sickness consult your physicians at nnce and do not rely on the well meant lllll Inconipiete advice of your neighbor, Al the present writing July 9, thera has heen no report of a case In the town of Hempstead.
Reports of cases can he known by phoning Town Clerk f'.llberl at tha Town Hail In Hempstead.
