Cerebro-spinal meningitis means
an inflammation of the membranes
of the brain and spinal cord. Its
an acute infectious disease of
microbic origin. There is an in
fammatory eXudate of serum pre-

Certain atmospheric conditions
favor the growth and transmission
of these microbes, while any I'M
hygienic and unsanitary and de-
pressing influence opens the sys-
tenn to their invasion. The pro-
longed absence of sunshine in
creases the activity and virulence
of the poison.
The young are most suscepti-
BILE. An attack may be so mild
and recovery so speedy, that the
true nature of the disease is not
recognized. Again, the onset may
be sudden and rapidly fatal. The
force of the disease depends upon
the patients physical resistance
and the degree of virulence of the
poison.
During an epidemic physicians
are on the alert; but the sporadic
cases often die because the disease
is not recognized and properly
treated; having been called some
thing else and treated accordingly.
This disease is also called spotted
fever, from the fact that a skin
eruption sometimes makes its APP
pearance. This eruption may be
diffused or confined to a limited
area, and consists of bruised like
spots, or of small red purplish
spots like flea bites, or of little
itchy vesicles which increase and
spread and cluster together, termi-
mating in furfuraceous scales.
The first symptom may be a

Gold in Hancock, Maybe.
Hancock Clarion }

Considerable talk has resulted
from the passage of an Indian
through the neighborhood few
miles back of Lewisport a short
time since. The red man exhibited
to Mr.. Ed Fisher several bright
nuggets of gold and told him they
were found on his farm-probably
by a sycamore tree near the creek.
Mr.. Fisher was one of the '49'rs
in California and thinks he knows
gold when he sees it. He believes
these specimens to have been the
real article but hesitates as to
where they came from. OF course
the Indian wanted money for his
knowledge, but your Uncle Edwin
has suffered and toiled much in the
accumulation and retention of his
goodly pile of mazuma, so he nib
bleth not. There is tradition.
however, that all of the Indians of
earlier days passing through that
section contend that marks on the
trees left by their ancestors show
plainly that gold is on the farm.

THINKS SHE WAS BORN
UNDER A LUCKY STAR
MISS DOROTHY REMNANT TELLS
OF PERIL
Train on Southern Road Breaks in
Two and Car Bearing "The College
Widow" Company Is Hurled Against
Embankment-All Escape Injury

Several of my friends have tried to
tell me that | was born under a lucky
star, but / never quite believed it until
a short time ago, when flying over a
bad track in Alabama at the rate of
siXty-five miles an hour, our train was
hurled against an embankment and all
on board escaped unhurt," says Miss
Dorothy Tenant, who plays the title
role in 1.-THE College Widow"
"The Associated Press dismissed the
accident with a dozen lines, yet an
officer of the road told me that it was
the most miraculous escape from a
revolving fatality he had heard Of in
all his experience. And he repeated
what friends have so often remarked
about that lucky star. And l believed
him.

We're making a week of one night
stands between our Cincinnati and
New Orleans engagements. We had
played Atlanta Wednesday night and
were moving to Montgomery where we
We're to appear Thursday. The train
was unusually heavy, it being regu-
lar, to which our four cars were at
tached. We were running an hour late
and very rapidly, when suddenly we
left the track and were hurled upon
an embankment at the right. The
bank was soft red Alabama clay and
it was just about like being tossed
forcefuly into a feather bed When
we contemplated afterwards that the
bank at the right was of solid rock, you
can imagine our feeling of thankful
ness.
AS soon as we could collect our
thoughts, we bethought ourselves of
those in The cars ahead. We hurried to
the door, but they were nowhere to be
seen. That train had actually broken
in two at the very point where the
rails had spread and the locomotive
and the cars in front had proceeded
safely on their way. 1t was the only
thing in the world that prevented tele-
scoping and the death of scores. What
might have occurred but for these for
tunate circumstances, is horrible to
contemplate. Yes, l really think there
is lucky star lowering over me

Pastor Smale Tells Hearers They Must
Stand by Old Beliefs-Sees NO
Necessity for Institution to Adapt
Itself to the Times

At Burbank hall vest erday Pastor
Joseph Smale spoke on 1.-THE Fragrant
Life from the text: Awake, o north
wind, and come thou south; blow upon
my garden, that the spices thereof may
flow out" He said in part:
LAS people of the Lord, individually
and collectively, we are a garden and

field that the Lord hath blessed. We
are a garden walled around; chosen and
made peculiar ground. To ascribe the
element miraculous to the organization
here will not, am sure, to many seem
tc be too great an assumption. For
many years we have been hearing the
plea for compromise in the religious
world.
I'VE have been told that religion
must adapt itself to the times; that
people are not to be expected to live
as did their fathers; that the church
must yield to the world; that II must
smile where once it frowned; that in
ftextbility must become f1eXibility; that
it's teaching are to be moral philosophy
rather than spiritual regeneration, and
to refuse this adaptation the church of
Jesus Christ has been threatened with
all manner of ills! 1t will not be a
peculiar institution. 1t will not have
the people. 1t will lose the young folks
It will be as il dead, but what are the
facts where the world has wooed and
won the church?

The people, young and old, are given a

people had no religion than religion
with God left out, for he who has no
religion confesses to no hope, but the
man who has religion, however false
and misleading it may be, thinks that
he has secured the hereafter Of life.
Such a state of things ought to give
rise to few questions. II true religion
must have God in it, then what is the

REFUSES MANSFlELD'S
MOST ALLURlNG OFFER
GEORGE w. BARNuM PREFERS TO
REMAIN
Great Actor Tries to Get Director OF
Belaseo Stage to Accompany Him
on Tour, but Los Angeles Favorlte
Declines the Honor

one of Richard Mansfields regrets
and perhaps the most poignant one
upon leaving Los Angeles early yes
terday morning was the fact that
George w. Barnum, the efficient and
popular stage director of the Belasco
Theater Stock company. had refused
most flattering offer to join the Mans
field company in the capacity of gen.
eral stage manager.
The offer was the direct result OF
little speech Mr.. Barnum made at a
dinner given in honor of Mr. Mansfield
at the California club Friday night
after the performance of the Merchant
of Venice" John j. Byrne, the general
passenger agent of the Santa Te oc-
cupied the chair of honor alongside of
Mansfield and during a modest little
address in introducing the great actor
to the twenty guests, he made mention
of the fact that the great actors of the
day were becoming alarmingly few in
number Mr.. Barnum took this idea
as his theme and said such nice things
about Mr.. Mansfield, his early strug-
giles, his ultimate artistic achievements
and the fact that all actors look up to
Mansfield as their ideal, that even
Mansfield was moved to bushes
something that he tuter admitted he
had not done for ever and ever so many
years.
lbdrnumS s elOQue1Ce WAS 81 dilo-
gether out of the ordinary sort gener-
ally INDUCED in by the average
Thespian-Barnum never once re-
ferred to himself during his entire
talk--that Mansfield was deeply inn
pressed with the Belasco stage direc-
tors mental equipment. After the
dinner he told several of the guests
that he would like nothing better in
the world for a Christmas present
than to have Barnum join his organi-
Zation as stage manager.
Saturday afternoon, Mr.. Greet, Mr..
Mansfied's secretary, sought Mr..
i3arnum and made him a most allurine
offer to leave Los Angeles, but the
prospect of enjoying such conf
Dental relationship with even the
great Mansfield did not let Barnum
forget the fact that the Mansfield
company must of necessity be con-
stantly on the move and that after all.
Il permanent position in such delight
iul garden spot as Los Angeles is worth
far more than trekking the country with
the greatest actor of his day, so Bar
mum will continue to give his delight
fully clever characterizations and re-
veal his genius for masterful stage
pictures at the Belasco for an indefi-
mite period.

HAS FAITH IN MANKIND
Rev. Frank Dewitt TsImsse, During
Eloquent Sermon, Says Most
People Are Honest

In his sermon at the First Presby-
terlan church yesterday Rev. Frank
Dewitt Talmage spoke Of man, the
debtor, in his true relations to his
divine creditor. The minister said In
part:
Many people talk as If this world
was full of rogues. do not believe any
such charge. There is more honesty in
the world than It gets credit for In
deed, It is my belief that most people
are honest, that most people want to
do right. This Is not q world of hypo-
critics. All men are not scoundrels.
When, in 1919, the statement was made
in the British parliament that every
man had his price, and that all men
could be bribed a statesman arose and
said; That charge is not true. Bene
dict Arnold might become a traitor,
but there are many generals in the
American army whom all the money
in King Georges treasury cannot buy
If you have not found this kind of
world there Is something wrong with
your own principles. The man who
| declares that all men are rogues at
| heart is practically making confession
of his own dishonesty II you tell me
that all men cheat / conclude that you
yourself would cheat If you had the
chance. 1t sometimes takes a thief to
catch thief.
"If most people were not honest It
| would be difficult to explain some of
the customs of the business world In
many of our cities. lunch buffets have
been started, where you can go to a
large counter and help yourself. You
can eat as much as you want. Prac-
| tically no one watches you. The pro-
| prietor leaves 1t to your own honesty
| to tell how much you owe. Does not
| this prove that most people are honest?
| In the, streets of New York Philadel-
rhia and Chicago stands are placed
| Upon these stands are piled the morn
| ing newspapers. You walk up to
stand and take the paper you wish.
You leave your money upon the
stand and go off. Often no one watches
you. Would the newsdealer thus leave
his stand If he had not learned by ex-
perience that most people are honest?
Taking this premise then for
granted, I shall boldly present to you
| a bill which / know you will try to pay.
| 1t is from my Lord and Master. 1t Is
a statement of the debt which every
man, woman and child to more or less
extent, owes to God. 1 do not demand
payment of it, for it is greater than
you could ever pay, though you lived
on earth thousand years, and worked
as hard as you could but L want you
to feel your obligations, and to resolve
that you will do all that is in your
power to show your gratitude to your
Heavenly Father for all the mercies
and comforts with which he has sur
| rounded you during your life. There
fore, what you are to do, you must
start to do right away, and in order to
| do it you must serve Christ from now
on with your whole heart"

FOUR RUSSIANS BEAT A BOY
All Are Men over Six Feet Tall, While
Their Victim Is Small
ad

Four Russians, 1t was alleged by
Patrolman Pautz, tried to start a race
war yesterday by giving an unmerciful
drubbing to an American boy. Three
of them, named Evan Makshanoff,
Arrow Makshanoff and Ivey Petrovitz-
key, held the boy, Herbert Allison,
while another of the group named
Evan Agakoff, beat him nearly to
death.
All four of the subjects of the czar
are men over six feet tall and the boy,
Allison, appeared like a pigmy be-
side them.
No provocation was shown and the
four men seemingly beat the lad to
give their sporting spirit an oppor-
tunity, or to show their independence.
All of them were booked for assault
and will be up before one of the police
magistrates today
