He Knew Too Much.

A curious Malayan legend says that
in olden times the waters surrounding
Singapore were so infested with sword
fish as to make it impossible for the
fishermen to pursue their daily task. A
boy advised the rajah to let down into
the water freshly peeled stems of the
banana plant, and, this being done, the
fish imbedded their swords in the
stems and were easily killed. The boy
genius was considered danger to the
throne, and he was executed lest he
grow up and become conspirator.

Quite List Of New Cases Reported in
Country Places.

Surgeon White was willing to give
in the fight. He said: g l feel very
much encouraged over the situation,
for | believe that practically all the
cases are being reported now, and we
are able to handle them. The low
death rate is manifest and that is
good sign"
The situation outside of the city is
not SO encouraging. Surgeon Guiteras
made an inspection of the Riverside
plantation in st. Mary parish and his
report reads: lone hundred and fifty
inhabitants in infected barracks. Esti-
mated 100 have had fever" At Han
son City, in Jefferson parish, eight new
cases were reported. Kenner also re-
ports four cases. The health officer at
Iberville reports number of suspic
ious cases among Italians on Bayou
Pidgeon, twenty miles from the town
of Plaquemine, on the west bank.
Two new cases have developed on
Elizabeth plantation in Iberyille. ST..
Bernard parish reports new focus Of

two cases having come to light with
two more suspicious cases. Patterson
reports ten new cases and no deaths.

Whistler, the artist, said: II always

in the world. l think Irish eyes are

girls hands come next. English girls
have red, coarse hands; the German

Gregory, Mo-, Aug. 22.-Three cases

In the matter of deaths uniformity
is unusual from day to day, because
The condition of patients is so largely
affected by meteorological and other
conditions. The federal authorities
have not reached point where they
are willing to prophesy the complete

her to a doctor, who said it was
eczema. He gave me medicine to
give her, but she kept getting worse
all the time. Her little face and body
were so covered with sores and large
scales You could not tell what she
looked like. No child ever had a
worse case. Her face was being eaten
away, and even her finger nails fell
of. Then it itched so She could not
sleep, and for many weary nights we
could get no rest. At last we got

one month she had not one sore on
her face or body. Any mother hav-

NEW TIRE CONSTRUCTION.
Demonstration for Topeka Automo-
biIe. Owners.

Every owner of an automobile is in
terested in the subject of tires. because
the tires are the most important part
of a cars equipment excepting only the
engine. When the engine and the tires
are right there is little to bother The
driver. The tires are the buffers be-
tween the heavy vehicle and the rough
road, and the demands upon them are
great under the most favorable cOndi-
lions. Probably no other part of an
automobile is so little understood nor
so generally abused.
The @. & J. Tire Co. have given their
travellers the mission of spreading tire
of showing all who will take the time
to see the proper way to handle the
clincher tire.
The G. & J. Tire Co. have discontin-
ued the use of tire clamps, which are so
troublesome when making a repair
They have found them unnecessary
with their 1905 tires, this point having
been proved out by them with several
previous years experience. They con-
str4lct their tires with what is known
as thread fabric which construction
gives the tire the greatest plability and
extreme dura bility, and greatly in
creases the power and speed, reducing
fuel consumption. The pliability means
also ease of handling Tt is the G. e J.
claim that their tire can be removed
from the rim and replaced again in
less time than any other tire, and that
the operation is so simple that any one
can do it. To prove these points Mr..
R. p. Dowse will give demonstrations
at all the automobile salesrooms and
garages of this city. Wednesday,, May
