Corvallis Times Official County Pape. CORVALLIS, OREGON, FRIDAY. EVENING, MAY 17 1907 DIED OF SPINAL MENINGITIS. Jrfed Ingle's Little Boy was 111 Three Days C orvallis Relatives at Burial. - fThe child of Fred Ingle died of spinal meningitis at ; Woodbufn Wednesday night. J. W. Ingle ofjthis city left yesthrday morning tope present at the .burial, Mrs.. Ingle went to the bedside Tuesday Both will ieturn here to-morrow Tie child was only sick three days. Iti is believed now that the disease isfcommuhicated from one person to another through - the medium o excretions from the nose and throat, and also through sputum. The germs are believed to infest these excretions and to reach the throat and nose of unaffected persons through contact or in the dust of the air. A spray of salt solution in the nose and throat is claimed to be a preventive. Respecting the' preventive meas ures, a Portland paper says: Stu dents of the disease now be lieve that contagion is effected through nasal discharge and pos sibly sputum, for the micro: organism has been found in the -blood corpuscles and there is easy transmission from those to the natural discharges of mucus. Doctors advise careful brushing brushing sterilization of handker chiefs that have been used, clean liness of person and thorough airing of dwellings, particular at tention being , given , to . close closets and damp cellars. A good sprinkling of chloride of lime is a desirable treatment for wet base ments, after they have been' swept out not only as a possible pro--ventive against (meningitis, but because it is a good thmg to do as a precaution against con -tracting other diseases ,. as' welL r Bellfountain.

' Old Aikansawilby Fred Ray mond, author of the Missouri Girl, opened for the week at the' Colum bia: theatre,1 to an' audience that fill ed the house to its capacity. The play is one of those melodramas that appeals to the audience- and tells a story which holds the inter est from start to finish.' It is a tale of the hills of Arkansas and some of the characters ; are exceedingly droll and amusing. - John Rogers, known ' as bid Arkansas, has -a stroog part and his interpretation of it was convincing. Grace Gilmore, who plays "Sue" is a clever actress, and was a favor' ite with the audience,7 Zam Hays, the gawky Mary Tlocum, who don't know nothin' and alius did," is one of the bright spots of the play. ' Clair Nichelson creates a charac ter which stands out in a class of comedy by itself. Theatregoers wh li.?ed "Zeke" in the "Mi-souri Girl" are at a loss to decide which is the better part.- The others in toe company had He their parts creditably, ' and taken as a whole Old Arkansaw is a pleasing pro duction.

They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin specially prepared fabric on the tread.'

The regular price of these tires is $8.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only I4.80 per pair. All orders shippea same day letter is received. We ship CCD. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented.
