One of the recent bulletins issued by the Illinois Health Department gives the 1923 mortality statistics for the state. Deaths are listed according to ageâ€"groups and causes. Bronchoâ€"pneumonia caused the death of 1097 infants less than one year old. For this same ageâ€"period ‘lobar. pneuâ€" monia caused 282 deaths; influenza, 300; acute bronchitis, 231; whooping cough, 256. Bronchoâ€"pneumonia causâ€" ed 3158 deaths among people of all ages. It will be noted that over oneâ€" third of all the deaths due to,this diâ€" sease occurred among babies less than one year old. _ z. Bronchitis a Cause Bronchitis is a common cause of bronchoâ€"pneumonia. _ Measles, «scarlet fever, diphtheria, influenza, | typhoid fever, and smallâ€"pox. may be compliâ€" cated by bronchoâ€"prieumonia. All of these are infectious and are transmitâ€" ted either directly or indirectly, from one person to another. .Anything that prevents any of these diseases, also serves to lessen: the occurrence .of bronchoâ€"pneumonia, . % Reply The germs which cause the respiraâ€" tory infections, as well as those which cause some df the other infectious diâ€" seases, are conveyed in the secretions of the hose, mouth or throat,. Indisâ€" criminate kissing of:the baby by adults and older children, coughing or sneezâ€" ing into the air in the vicinity of the baby, and permitting the baby to put into its mouth things which may be contaminated with germs, are some of the ways in which the baby may beâ€" come infected with colds, bronchitis or infectious diseases.

It is one of those words that includes. a number of different conditions, which means that the pain arises from a numâ€" ber of different causes, Strain or diâ€" sease of the muscles, faulty. posture, strain of neighboring joints, disease of the spine, nenritis, or even disease, in other parts of the body, such as, the pelvis, may cause it. It should be reâ€" membered that infected teeth or tonâ€" sils may also be a cause. 32 A permanent cure can be brought about only by finding the exact cause and having this remedied. Temporary relief is often obtained by applications of heat to the lower back, massage, or having this region strapped with adâ€" hesive tape. F M. F.

She hates me, and every word and glance has a sting for me. She susâ€" pects my identity, in spite of all my denials," pleaded Pansy. "She shall not go with us," he said; then a thoughtful frown came between his datk eyeâ€"brows. "Butâ€"what under heaven shall I do with her?". he askâ€" ed. "Let her stay in the house on Frankâ€" lin Street with a chaperon," answered Pansy readily.‘ ; es "That will do very well, I suppose; but I wish she would get married. I should feel better satisfied over her then," said the colenel, and they both thought at onceof Norman Wylde. The color rose to her delicate pearlâ€" fair face in a warm tide of crimson, and Colonel Falconer grew pale, and smothered an oath between his lips. "Pansy, I feel like I ought ‘to kill that fellow for his villainy to you," he said abruptly. "Let him alone.. Heaven will punish him for my wrongs," she answered, and then, clasping her. beautiful hands imâ€" ploringly, she wailed: "But, oh, my poor, deserted little child, my heart aches when Iâ€"think of him! If I only had him with me I could be content." "Do not grow impatient, darling. I have promised to try to get the child for you, but it must be done very quietly ,for no one must suspect that we had anything to do with abducting him. He must be abducted you underâ€" stand that, do you not, Pansy?" ‘Yes, for I know well that no amâ€" ount briberly would induce Mrs. Meade to give him up, and I dare not assert my legal claim to him," sighed poor, unhappy Pansy. He tried to comfort her, as if she had been a littleâ€"child, and at last she sobbed herself to sleep in his arms, and he held her thus for more than an hour, gazing on the:â€"sweet, sad little face with eyes full of love and pity. "Poor little darling, how bitterly and undeservedly you have suffered," the thought, adding bitterly: "Curses on the falseâ€"hearted villain that betrayed her innocent youth! I hope I may never meet him again, forâ€"I did fear I should take vengeance into my own hands." The next morning, when the colonel‘s valet brought in the mail, it consisted of nothing but the New Yory papers. He had finished breakfast, and took them out on the porch to read. Pansy followed him, and sat down in her little rockingâ€"chair to enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery ‘that lay outspread like a succession of pictures before her eyes. vi5, And none seeing the quiet, homelike picture, the handsome man, and the lovely woman, seeming so calmly hapâ€" py in their domestic life, would have dreamed that a heavy storm cloud surâ€" charged with woe was about to burst in fury upon their heads. â€"= _ . Colonel Falconer selected his favorite paper, lighted his morning cigar, and disposed himself comfortably. to read. Colonel Falconer opened his fresh paâ€" per and the first thing that caught his eyes were these words, in startling headlines: : j <g. Involving Some of theh F. F. V‘s With . The Working Classes, and Being The Climax To a Romance of Love and Sorrow Equal To Any Evolved From The Brain of a Novelist. He\uttered an exclamation of interâ€" est, and Pansy looked around. ___ \*What is it, dear?" she asked langâ€" uidly. y se f “Nothingâ€"that is Well, you shall have the paper presently," he answerâ€" ed, and read on: 5 \ Something more than three years ago there was a ripple of excitement in the fashionable society of Richmond over the fact that an engagment of marriage â€" between two.. prominent people had been dissolved, owing to a sudden infatuation on the young man‘s part for a beautiful, charming girl, an employee at Arnell & Grey‘s tobacco factory. The girl, though of poor parentage, and compelled to labor for her _ own supâ€" port, was said to be wonderfully lovely, fairly well educated, and of so fair a character that it had never been sullied by a breath of scandal. But parents on either side proved unkind, ‘The voung man was forbidden to marry the little beauty, and she on her part had stern orders from a widowed mother never to hold any communication with her lover. In a few months afterwau;d, the young man was sent on a mission to Europe, and it was supposed that all was at an end with the unfortunate love affair. . But _ nine months later there ws a scandalous story circulated about the young girl, to which a color of truth was lent by her suicide by drowning in the James River.. At last, some of her clothing was found in the river, but her body was never recovâ€" ered. At the same time a beautiful, newborn boy baby was left on the steps of the young man‘s father, and adopted by the old housekeeper. Two years later the hero of that longâ€" past love affair returned, and seeing the adpoted child, conceived the idea that it was his own. He sought the mother of his dead love in order to asâ€" certain the truth, but could not find her, she having married a second time and removed to another part of the city. Lately, in desperation, he placed a detective on the woman‘s track, with the result that she was soon found, and a story of sorrow laid bare that madâ€" dened the hero of the story. He told the mother that her daughâ€" ter had been his wife by a secret marâ€" iage in Washington, and by this declarâ€" ation waslaid bare the perfidy of a wicked stepfather and a slighted love, who for revenge had bribed the man to about the marriage. This man, Finâ€" ley by name, was sent to Washington to verify Pansy Laurens‘ declaration that she was the wife of Norman Wylde, He was bribed by a fair and slighted lady to declare that there had been no marriage, thus breaking the heart of the poor girl, who had never received a line from Jher young husband durâ€" ing his absence. When Norman _ Wylde learned. of | this horrible perifdy that had made of his beloved young wife a suicide, and of his legitimate child a foundling, he T he Great Reward (Continued From Last Week) A VIRGINIA TRAGEDY CHAPTER XXXVIL The Storm Breaks went wild with rage against the villain who ‘had made these things possible, apd struck him._ with all the fierce strength of an ‘outraged arm, He fell heavily, and striking his head against the counter in his store »was rendered unconscious by. concusion of the brain. He is lying now in a state of coma, never having returned to consciousness since his fall.. Norman Wylde is under heavy bonds pending the result of Finâ€" ley‘s injuries, but it is believed that a ‘chivalrous Virginia â€" jury: will mequit ‘him of blame in the vengeance he took against the destroyer of his domestic happiness. ® i 'l"zmsy turned her head at hearing a strange, choking sound. and saw her husband with his head fallen backward, and his face convulsed with pain, as it had been on the night when she made her confession to him. : When Pansy saw the condition of her husband she uttered a scream, of terror that brought Colonel Falconer‘s valet and her maid rushing to the scene from the back of the cottage, where they had been flirting with each other in default of something better to do. Â¥ Charles, the valet, immediately rtan into the house for his master‘s drops, while Pansy lifted her husband‘s head and pillowed it against het. breast. Phebe could do nothing but wring her hands and utter excited ohs and ahs. "You had better leave him to me, ma‘am," said Charles, with a compoâ€" sure that betrayed his familiarity with these painful attacks. He took her place with polite insistence, and then Pansy remembered tthat her husband had seemed a little excited over someâ€" thing in the paper he was reading. . _ She took (the paper up from «the floor, where it had fallen, and, in a very few moments, had found out the cause of, Colonel Falconer‘s ‘sudden seizure. j / Forgetful of everything but herself in the wild rush of joy that overâ€" whelmed her soul, she rushed upstairs to her room, and, throwing herself inâ€" cto a chair, read and reread the precâ€" ious paper, while her love for Norman Wylde, so long.repressed and denied, thrilled her whole being again with inâ€" expressible rapture. "Oh, my love, my love!) You were true to meâ€"you loved me, you mournâ€" ed for me, for I was, indeed, your wife! The dark stain of disgrace is efâ€" faced from me, and the whole world, may know now that Pansy Laurens was ‘an honored ‘wife, ‘and that her. child had a right to its father‘s name. Oh, my little Pet, my precious child, would that I could fly this moment and take you.by. the" hand and lead you to your beloved father, telling him â€"how much I love you both!"‘ she sobbâ€" ‘ed passionately, forgetting for the moâ€" lment the man downstairs, whose heart was soybound up in her. serecc â€"It was not natural that she should remember him at that moment, for the shock of joy that had been so. great as to blot out everything else for the time being. Joy in Norman‘s constancy |and love, and horror at the sin of Mr. [Finley and~ Julictte, Ives, filled her lwhole mind; : P on She forgot Colonel! Fal¢oner and his illness, forgotthat, she was , another man‘s wife, forgot everthing but her love for Norman Wylde, the young husband from whom she had been sunâ€" dered by such a cruel fate. § "Oh, my love, my darling, would that you were here now," she kept murmuring. over and. over, forgetful of the lapst of time, until she" was startled from her blissful reverie by a low tap upon the door. ; es "Come in!"‘ she, exclaimed, and the door. unclosed, admitting Colonel Falâ€" coner, who was ghastly pale, and stagâ€" gered unsteadily across the threshold. "Oh!‘; jeried FPansy, in a heartâ€" piercing tone, for everthing rushed over her at once at.the sight of his haggard, painâ€"drawn face. "Poor child! You were so happy that you had forgtten me," he said gently. "Forggive me!‘ she sighed remorseâ€" fully, and then suddenly. the pretty dark head fell back against her chair, and she became unconscious. Colonel Falconer: made no effort to revive her. He stood by her side, gazâ€" ing with gloomy eyes at the white, unâ€"= conscious face, and at length he muttâ€" ered: : "Poor little one! I wish that you would die now, just as you are; then Ishould never have the pain of reâ€" signing you to one who has a better right to you than I have, and in whose love you utterly forget him who has had no thought of you since first he saw your beautiful face. "Iâ€"Iâ€"fainted, did I ncot?" she murâ€" mured slowly., Then, remembering his illness, she asked: "Are you better?" «YÂ¥es," he answered, but his face was gl\mstly as he said it. Making a brave effort for calmness, he added: 4You stayed away so long, Pansy, that I grew uneasy, and ca{ne to seek you." "While I selfishly forgot you in my absorption. Oh, forgive me! forgive me!" she‘cried remorsefully. "There is nothing to forgive. Your news was startling enough to excuse you for everthing," he replied patientâ€" ly. Drawing a chair near her, he con= tinued. wistfully: "It must have been a great shock of joy to you, Pansy, to find that Norman Wylde was your true husband, instead of the false hearted wretch we deemed him."
