Deaths From Scarlet Fever Are
Declining.

Now that smallpox, thanks to COM
pulsory vaccination. has become a rar-
ity in civilized communities, scarlet
fever steps forward as the worst of
the eruptive diseases of childhood.
1t is malady of enormous anti
guilty 1t has scourged the white races
in all ages and all countries, and the
physician of all schools have leveled
their heaviest artillery upon it, says
DR.. Leonard K. Hirshberg in the
August Delineator. Yet it remains
puzzle unsolved and an enemy uncon-
quered, even to-day. We are in
doubt as to its cause, and there is no
drug or antitoxin that will cure it.
But despite all this, the death-rate
from scarlet fever is steadily declin-
ing, and we may expect it to decline
more and more as the years go by.
The reason for this, take it, lies in
the fact that the modern doctor is a
great deal more sparing with pills and
powders than his predecessor, and a
great deal more lavish with water, air
and antiseptics. In the old days it
was customary to dose scarlet-fever
patients with all sorts of violent rem
edies in staggering quantities, and, as
a result, many of them died. To-day
medicines are but minor auxiliaries in
the sick-room, and both doctor and
nurse devote their main energies to
a spread of the infection.

Refused to Run.

Platteville Journal: Mayor ,Dolan
was slated as a candidate of Office for
the Secretary of State on the Demo-
cratic ticket at the recent Democratic
convention in Milwaukee, but, owing
to the fact that Mr.. Dolan considers the
reelection of the Hon. J. w. Murphy
paramount for any political preferment
which might come to Mr.. Dolan or
any other political candidate in this
section he refused to have his name
placed on the ticket.

Three New School Houses.

Darlington: Democrat: There will
be three new school houses built in
Lafayette county this summer. One
in District No. /, in the own of
Wayne, another in the Cottage Inn dis
trict in Belmont, and the third will
either be an addition to the old or new
building in the Paper school house dis
trict in Willow Springs. In the latter
there is a comparatively new school
house. but not large enough TO accom-
lnodate the pupils. There are over 65
pupils in the district, hence the neces-
sity of erecting a new building and
grading the school.

A Word of Caution.

Platteville News: Boys should be
most careful should they go to swim,
as in the small creeks holes that are
twenty feet deep have been made by
the recent heavy storms. The Roun-
tree Branch is considered very shall
low and free from danger, but if the
lads and parents investigate the con
ditions it may be the saving of life,
which may be lost through lack of
knowledge of the condition of the
stream.

ELDERTA REIGNS IN
AMARIOLO HOMES

Elberts peaches are monopolizing
The attention OF Amarillo housewives
today and the kitchens OF scores OF
normally happy and peaceful homes
present scenes Of great unrest while
crates OF big yellow peaches pur-
chased yesterday are being made in
10 varieties of canned good things
for use later on.
When the peach market started
this week at 80 cents per four basket
crate, the demand was good and
when the price dropped to rs cents,
orders came faster and the sugar
market and the fruit jar market felt
the interest In their industries. But
yesterday when grocery stores and
wagons began sliding the price down
from rs, people forgot to buy any
thing else but peaches and the de-
livery wagons looked as II they rep
resented fruit farms. Forty-five
cents was the lowest level reached
yesterday morning and at that rate
there were few homes In Amarillo
which did not have a crate or more
Of Texas greatest fruit. Then yes
terday afternoon one grocery firm
made big purchase Of the remain
ing stock Of commission firm and
advertised by circulars and IN the
Daily Panhandle, a rate OF % cents
a crate, four boxes of the beauties

proprietor OF the store had his wa

In the line 10 exchange quarters for
crates Of peaches The store had eY-
pected TO have peaches 10 continue
the sale today but by s o'clock every
crate had been spoken for and doz-
ems OF orders were being refused,
The taste for elbertas which the buy
ing earlier In the day had awakened
only made the demand greater for
the 90 cent crates Today the price
is again about scents on the later
shipments Of peaches but the offer
ings are plainly worth tho money.
In quality the peaches offered on
the market here have been irre-
proachable Last peaches we're high
In price and disappointing in looks

belt of East and North Texas has
made up for the failure last year
with a bountiful yield OF Elbertas

produced. The fruit which has been

feet condition for table or other use
and the low rates have not been
caused by deterioration in the stock

DROUTH IN
new MEXICO
Many Farmers Are Returning
!" Because Of The Long With
eTIng DTOuth There

A party Of farmers were in ANA
rilo yesterday seeking work who
had Just come from near Norton,
about twenty-three miles southwest
Of Tucumcari, n. NJ They report
a most disheartening drouth in that
locality and that settlers are leaving
in large numbers. Corn that was
planted early in the season on old
ground seems to be doing fine all
though rain is badly needed at pres
emit. Both Indian and kaffir corn
and also maize has done well on old
ground but ground that was broken
this year has not been at all pro-
ductive because OF lack of rain. It
is reported there has not been rain
in sufficient quantity TO lay the dust
at any time this season.
The party who came here yester-
day expects to remain here II they
find sufficient work and will return
TO the deserted farms and till them
If there is a satisfactory rainfall
there in the next few days. They
express themselves as surprised with
the remarkable growth OF crops in
the Panhandle.
The Panhandle welcomes the farm
or who has met failure in other
places and assures to him a good,
productive soil, plenty of timely
rains and the finest climate the sun
shines upon.
