GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY. MARCH

The Federation of Clubs of this city was at home to the Federation of Country Clubs at Harris hall Monday afternoon from 2:30 to 6 o'clock. Mrs. W. A. Service received the guests in the upper hall and Mrs. Pearl Gibbs and Mrs. James Rogers in the lower hall, where they were greeted by the president of the City Federation of Clubs, Mrs. W. A. Hough, assisted by Mrs. Earl Greer and Mrs. Emma Martin, of the City Clubs, and Mrs. Harry Porter and Mrs. W. H. Thomas, of the Country Clubs, as they entered the auditorium. The president opened the program by introducing George and Martha Washington, who were entertaining a number of prominent people as house guests. Honorable Alexander Hamilton, Peggy Schuyler, Dolly Madison, Betsy Ross and Florence Nightinglae. President and Mrs. Washington had invited a large number of the colonists to meet the house guests and to partake of the hospitalities of the presidential home and stay to tea. About one hundred and fifty responded to the invitation, many of whom came in rich colonial costumes, Miss Marcia Hough and Marjorie Binford as Puritan maidens, gave as a second number, "Crossing the Delaware." Mrs. Hiram Eshelman, who had charge of the program, then introduced the guests in her most felicitous manner. The Honorable Alexander Hamilton and Miss Peggy Schuyler, who danced the minuet in a most graceful and pleasing way. Next came the charming Dolly Madison, then the celebrated muse, Florence Nightingale, followed by the world renowned Betsy Ross. As she unfolded and waved the flag, Miss Nightingale sang "Columbia." At the flashing of the tableau lights the scene was finished by the colonists singing "America." As the high school quartet sang, under the direction of the school musical director, Miss Williams, the ladies were escorted to the refreshment tables by the members of the Tri Kappa Society, ladies in colonial costumes presiding. Refreshments of pound cake, preserved cherries and tea were served and favors of artificial cherries were given to each one. The hall was decorated in patriotic colors to represent the Washington drawing room and was very pretty with its many flags, streamers and festoons of bunting, also the picture of George and Martha draped in the colors. A bank of foliage plants, in the center of which was a cherry tree in full fruitage, surrounded the platform, on which the celebrated guests stood to be presented by Mrs. Eshelman in her witty and gracious manner. The costume of the Honorable George Washington was most unique. He wore the full dress suit of black with trimmings of colonial yellow, green waistcoat, white lace ruffles at neck and hands, and yellow gloves, white silk stockings and pumps, with silver buckles and a cocked hat. Mrs. Eshelman looked the typical George.

Insurance Agent Giving Greenfield As His Home Is In the Toils. Was Starting Home.

Tipton, Indiana, February 25.— R. L. Lushbaugh is the name given by a young man locked up in the county jail this afternoon charged with forgery. He carried three bank books.

His pockets contained checkbooks with a large number of blank checks on banks in various parts of the state, $1.85 in money, a cheap watch and a package of "cigarettes.

F. A. Martin was the name the alleged forger gave here. He went into the office of the telephone company and said that he had removed to the city and desired a telephone placed in his house.

He gave the number of the residence in which John Lebo and family reside, but Miss Katie Deakyn, the clerk, thought nothing of looking up the number, wrote him a recipt for three months and gave him $2 in change for a check for $5.

After his departure Miss Deakyn remembered that a number of bad checks had been passed in cities near Tipton recently and she called up the bank at Knightsown on which the check had been drawn to know if F. A. Martin had a deposit there. The cashier did not know a man of that name.

Miss Deakyn notified the police and the arrest of Lushbaugh followed. Lushbaugh told Chief of Police McNairy that he was an insurance agent, but that business was dull. He said his home was at Greenfield and that he was married. He was starting home, he said, when placed under arrest.

The Tipton authorities telephoned to Mayor Johnson here Thursday night and it was learned that the man under arrest has been living on Walnut street, this city.

Pneumonia Time Here.

We are at the penumonia months of February, March and April, when the dreaded disease is most frequent. According to the bulletin issued by the Chicago health departme nt about two hundred people died in that city from pneumonia in one week. The death curve reaches its peak in the latter part of March, begins to subside in April, and subsides in May. Pneumonia is caused by a germ, as distinct and characteristic in its peculiarities as anything we know of. Frankel, a German scientist, discovered it. This little "mischief-maker" migrates down to the lung tissues and when our bodies are non-resistant as a result of colds, overwork or worry, the little intruder is sure to "get us." How it gets there? Simple enough. It is inhaled like one would inhale particles of dust. It can not be denied that "catching cold" plays a very important role in causing pneumonia. Per se: Without the germ infection, cold can not prodqee the disease. Both working in conjunction, however, start the trouble. Anything, in fact that has a tendency to lower the bodily resistance, prepares the soil for germ infection. Some authorities believe pneumonia to be contagious. The majority of the profession, however, do not think so. Yet, when one begins to think that often cases develop in certain families and dwellings, prisons, rooming houses, etc., one can not help but concede thai there may be a possibility of contagion. With reference to the age at which pneumonia is most frequent, the following may be of interest: The disease is common at all ages. It affects the infant as well as the old. Statistics, however show that between two and twenty years of age there is less liability to the disease, and between the twentieth to the fortieth year the predisposition to the trouble is increased, while from forty to fiftysusceptibility diminishes to return again after that age. Males suffer from pneumonia more than females. The reason? Greater exposure and more alcohol (booze). Drunkards show a peculiar susceptibility to the disease. This is explained by the fact that alcohol has a tendency to devitalize the tissues of the body and an alcoholically devitalized lung stands as much chance in a fight with Mr. Pneumococcus (some name for a little but mighty germ) as the proverbial snowball'. A remarkable coincidence that is worth mentioning is the fact that in the last fifteen years the number of cases of pneumonia has increased. This is due to the fact that we are now often suffering from influenza (a technical term for the grippe), which disease initiates certain forms of pneumonia* Dr. Evans is

authority for the statement that most people have the disease at least once during their lives.

Many people have it more than once or twice. One of the writers on the subject tells us that in the fifteenth century "The people of Switzerland referred to pneumonia as the stitch, Alpenstick, malignant stitch and putrid stitch that these occurred almost every year af the melting of the snows and particularly when the damp winds were blowing strong.—Marion County Mail.
