MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Sc
rious Consequences Of Neg
Iect.

"Fix me up something to knock the
malaria, DOCTOR" remarked sallow-
faced, sickly looking man, entering a
prominent physicians Office the other
day.
The doctor stepped to his medicine
case, took down couple of bottles, mixed
a preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
shake well and follow directions and
resumed his scat.
"Such cases are frequent, replied the
doctor in answer to a question. "The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
eases are prevalent.
The proper way to guard against the
malaria1 germ and the serious diseases
which follow 1t is to get into good condi-
ton by taking a reliable remedy that
will keep the bowels clear and the liver
healthy, and to continue with it at fire.

A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or
four times week will do all of this, be.

DIED.

~-0O-o~~o-~-o~~~~.~S- ~~---o.--7-.4~.
DEAN-In the city of Shreve-
port, La, at IL Nj. on Wednesday
Oct. 10, 1906, Annie Bessie Share
Dean, born April 10, 1890, depart
ed this life aged 16 years and G
months.
The deceased was the fifth child
of Frank b. Dean and Florence
Dean, and the cause of her death
was appendicitis. She had been
in apparent good health, and was
taken sick in the school room last
Friday, but remained until school
was dismissed, and then went to
her home on Cane river, about
two miles from Colfax, where she
gradually grew worse. Her trou-
BILE being decided to be from the
appendix, on Tuesday she was TAX
en- to the Shreveport sanitarium
for an operation. She was accom-
panied to Shreveport by Der elder
sister, Miss Martha Dean, and DIR.
E. b. Gray, and her condition
growing rapidly worse she was OPP
Grated on that night. Her system
was unable to stand the shock, and
she died the next day at IL o'clock.
Her body was brought home
Wednesday night, and on Thurs
day at IL a. m. was laid to rest in
the Colfax cemetery.
The subject of this sketch was a
most lovable girl, the particular
favorite and pride of her family,
aud loved and admired by all who
knew her. At home she was help
full, industrious and kind, and in
the school room always punctual,
ambitious and studious, being a
general favorite with teachers and
pupils. Coupled with her graces
of mind and temperament, she was
also devout, and adorned her soul
with that greatest grace of all,
alteration for her heavenly Father
and love for her Savior. The fu-
neral services were held in the
Methodist church by Rev. ]. A.
Parker, who paid beautiful trib-
ute to the character of the deceas-
ed, which met responsive chord
and was greatly appreciated by the
large Assem- bly, present The chill
dren of the Colfax high school, to
the number of about 200, formed
in procession under their teachers
and accompanied the remains to
the church, and from thence to
the graveyard, where the services
were concluded. The bereaved
family have the heartfelt sympa-
thy of hosts of friends in their sor-
row over the loss of their daughter,
as each and ell feel that the COM
munity has lost a bright and pre-
cious jewel.
