Mr.. James Willis who has been
preaching at Terre Hute for several
Sundays, calls attention to an article
which appeared in Davis City paper
in which the writer criticized him, and
says there is not word Of truth in the
article, the trouble being that the
offended party was not able to stand
good straight preaching, as it struck
him too near at home.

somewhere, for Mr.. Hall allows no
grafters to travel with his show, and
says we can assure the people of this
county that there will be no grafters
or skin games with the show when it
appears in this city. Billy Hall is well

Modern Hospitals for the Insane"
is the subject Of an illustrated report
by United Estates Consul General Ma
son at Berlin. Among the valuable les
sons. says he, which most other ma
lions can advantageously learn from
the experience and practice of Germany
is the scientific treatment Of insanity
In It's inoipient stages as physical and
possibly durable disease.
Notwithstanding the rapid and de-
plorable increase of mental diseases
which has followed the stress and strain
of modern business aud social life, 1t
must be admitted that In the United
States, and even in Great Britain. gov
ernmental benefcence has not pro-
crossed beyond the eleemosynAry funo-
ton Of providing asylums In which the
more or less hopelessly incurable VIC
tins Of insanity, who have become a
burden and menace to their friends. can
drag out In safety and physical comfort
the remnants Of their stricken lives.

made a hopeful beginning with the
pathological treatment Of mental dis
eases 1t has been due to individual ini-
tiative, and the ministrations Of such
institutions are restricted mainly to
patients Of the well-to-do class, leaving
the great majority Of poor unfortunates
to drift on to a stage Of mental aliena-
ton to which they become dangerous
to themselves and those about them,
and therefore entitled to the attention
and support Of the state. Germany has
taken long and important step beyond
this, and to give a simple statement OF
the means employed and some Of the
results attained is the motive and pur-
pose OF the present report.
There are in this country % psychi-
atrical clinics, OF hospitals for the
treatment Of mental diseases. Most ad-
vanced and worthy of study are those
located at Kiel, Giessen, Strasburg. Ber-
lin, and, latest and most important OF
all, the new clinic at Munich. which. in
ali that relates to perfection OF equip

GREAT YEAR FOR TARPoN.
Big Catches Of the Worlds Greatest
Fish Are Now Of Daily
Occurrence.

This year Is the greatest in the his
tory Of tarpon fishing, and big catches
are being daily reported from the homo
waters of the worlds gamest Of game
fish, which lie along the east and west
Florida coasts and through the entire
length and breadth Of the Gulf Of Mex
ico Hundreds Of expert anglers from
all parts Of the United States, and even
O few from abroad, are now In the
south enjoying the grand sport, reports
the Chicago Chronicle. The present
teason, which Ii now at its height, hav-
ing opened with the first Of May, has
already seen the breaking Of all pre-
vious records for catches, with bright
prospects that more will be shattered
before It comes to an end.
Plentiful as the fish are IN all south
ern waters, of the southeastern coast
of Florida, around and between the nu-
merous little islands or keys which
there abound, the waters are fairly
teeming with the silvery-sided mon
sters, which are so numerous that they
at times actually roughen the water for
wide stretches, and expert fishermen are
Of the unanimous opinion that never be-
fore have there been more tarpon In evil
dence than at the present time.
This can also be said of the tarpon's
most persistent enemies, the sharks
which have gathered in great numbers
to attack the unfortunate tarpon the
moment he allows himself to be hooked,
and thus is rendered powerless to pro-
tect himself. 1t Is said the greatest COM
petition exists between the fisherman
who has hooked a tarpon and the
sharks to see who will ultimately get
the fish, for the sharks are so bold and
they find the tarpon 80 toothsome that
there are instances where they have
snapped a tarpon from the very gan Of
the fisherman as the struggling fish
has been brought alongside Of the boat.
and 1t can never really be said that
tarpon has been caught until 1t Is safely
landed on the beach.
The tarpon is beyond question the
greatest game fish in the world, barring
none, say those who are best able TO
Judge.
Many advocates and admirers there
may be of the salmon, the trout, the
giant tuna. the drum, the bass and bara-
couda, but after all the consensus Of
opinion Of expert anglers awards to the
tarpon the palm as king Of game fish.
Exercising every iota Of the strength,
skill and ingenuity Of the angler from
the moment of the first strike, constant
ly maneuvering, displaying almost hu-
man resource, dashing here, leaping
there, he fights to the last ditch and
never gives up even when rslentlessly.
foot by foot, he has been drawn to the
side of the boat, exhausted and power
less, and the gaff takes away from him
the little Life that Is yet remaining.

THE CLOTHES MOTH.
Cleanliness the Strong Enemy of This
Pest and House Cleanings
Recommended.

Very early in the spring the worms,
which up to that time have remained
torpid, are changed into chrysalids
and remain in that state for about
three weeks. After that they are
transformed into winged moths and
during the months of May and June
these moths fly about the house In
the evening, depositing their eggs in
some place favorable for incubation,
and then die. Their sole aim is to
multiply and replenish the earth.
Two weeks after they are deposited,
the eggs are Matched, and the young
worms begin their work Of destruc-
ton, continuing until winter induces
torpidity. With the return of the cold
weather, the housewife will find
many drawer or trunk full of wool
en- clothes, feathers or furs that were
packed In the spring in good condi
ton, riddled by the ravages Of this
detestable little pest.
Experience has shown that the only
successful way to combat the pest is
by giving the house a thorough clean.
ing early in the spring, or no later
than May or June. The most effect
i've way Of rendering a house moth
proof is to give it thorough and gen.
eral cleaning each recurring spring,
repeating 1t If possible in the fall.
Cleanliness Is one of the arch enc
mics Of the moth, and light is an
other. The moth loves dirt and dark
haunts, and shuns the light. All stor-
age rooms and attics should be well
ventilated and well lighted. After
thorough cleaning early in the spring
garments may be put away for the
season with no other precaution than
wrapping them securely in stout pa
per, in order to secure them from the
approach of some belated female
which is seeking a place to lay her
eggs. Everything about the house
that might serve for the purpose
should be carefully shaken and aired,
and If possible exposed to the hot
sunshine for several hours. Furs
should be given a thorough combing
with fine dressing comb in order to
rout any possible torpid worm or
eggs; then, after beating and airing,
inclose them in a package that will
prevent the access Of the moths to
the garment inside.
There are a number of compounds
that may be used If desired. Pulver-
lied camphor gum, or cedar dust, or
tobacco leaves, or, in fact, anything
that is highly aromatic, may be sprin-
killed. freely among the folds. Printers
ink is said to be highly Objectionable
to moths, and it is recommended that
garments be wrapped in newspapers,
or paper sacks made Of them by past
ing the printed sheets together. 1t is
claimed to be safe to store blankets
in such receptacles provided-always
provided-that the blankets are per-
fectly cleaned before being stored. II
all stored articles are scrupulously
cleaned, then, and only then, can one
be sure that no torpid worms are be-
ing housed, ready to eat their way
through the fabric. In addition to the
newspaper packing, many line the box
or trunk in which the garment or ar
ticle is to be stored with tar-impreg-
mated paper, or other mixtures which
are all more or less Objectionable on
account of the disagreeable odor.-Dr.
Reeder, in Inter ocean.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1905-08-24

II.e treatment for this disease usual
ly depends upon the immediate cause
ofs the attack. If from overeating, the
distended stomach Is pressing upon
the large blood vessels and causing an
excessive amount of blood to go to the
BRAIN In such cases the patient must
sit upright; to lie down would increase
the pressure. Next the stomach must
be unloaded at once-warm water with
salt and mustard is most useful. The
hands and feet will usually be found
cold; battle them in hot water contain
ing mustard or ginger. Always loosen
the clothing about the neck and body
and allow abundance of fresh air.
When it is known that the attack Is
not caused by overeating, the patient
may lie down with the head raised.
Enforce quietude and battle the ex-
tremities in hot water containing
stimulation. The bowls must be
moved-injections Of warm water con-
tanning salt and ginger being excellent.
Days may elapse before improvement
is noticed. But the means of relief
must be persisted in, and the patient
sustained by frequent administrations
of broths or other soft or liquid nour-
ishing foods. If swallowing Is too diff
fcult sustenance by injections must
be resorted to. Feeble heart action
may he sustained by small doses OF an
infusion of golden seal and scull-
cap or cactus.
The rules to be observed by persons
predisposed to apOplexy may be stat
ed as follows: Avoid excessive labor,
mental strain, anxiety and excitement.
Eat plain food, and that very moder-
ately: subsist mainly on fruits and
vegetables. Leave all alcoholic liquors
alone. Keep the bowels open, exercise
moderately and keep cheerful dis
position-do not quarrel. Never lie
down soon after eating, and don't re-
tire at night with a full stomach.
Avoid exercise before breakfast and
Immediately after meals. Avoid hard
water, which often makes brittle the
blood vessels in some persons; and do
not indulge in foods or habits liable
to produce fats. Use instead foods
thai increase the vitality and health
Of the nerves.
