Chief Tetabiate was killed, but his fol-

A Borrowed Lead Pencil Is Frequently

The apparently harmless act Of Dor

the medical faculty as a prolific means
of propagating disease. Many people
still cling to the time-honored practice
of moistening the writing end Of the
pencil il the mouth before they proceed
to write
The practice Of borrowing pencils is
now believed to be responsible for
many cases Of diphtheria and tonsilius
which could not be otherwise accounted
for. Physicians have. therefore, begun
to warn their patients against putting
the points of lead pencils in their
mouths before they write.
The practice Of swapping" and bOr-
rowing lead pencils is more common
among children than adults The spirit
of camaraderie which makes pupils
grow "chummy' and social in the pub

groups of school children. A child who

give their attention to the cause and
prevention of diseases more than ever
they did before. The rules of common

puts its parents through very rigid
cross-examination as to the habits Of

THERE is rumor floating over the
country that north Arkansas is to
have anew railroad, says The Nam
moth Spring Monitor. The proposed
route is from Cushman, the present
terminus of the White River branch
of the Iron Mountain, through lizard,
Stone, Marion, Boone, and Carroll,
counties and On to Springfield, Mo.
This road would go through the
heart of the mineral region of north
ern Arkansas, and of course would
be blessing to that particular Sec
ton Of the country, az well as pay
ing Investment to the railroad COM
pany. The Iron Mountain company
is back of the project, and this alone
guarantees that the road will not be
built by wind. But it seems to us
that more practical, favorable route
could be found from Mammoth
Spring into the ginc fields than from
Cushman. Leaving Mammoth Sring,
which is on the Memphis route, the
road would go through Fulton,
Baxter and into Marion county,
where it would strike the proposed
route from Cushman to Springfield,
or could be extended to Eureka
Springs, in Carroll, the county
joining Boone on the west, where it
would connect with a branch of the
Frisco.
