quaintcd with DR.. Harrison'S asy-
lum work, and knows that he is
particularly strict with his attend
ants in reference To their treatment
of patients. His action with refer
cncc to the trouble Mt Hospital No.
is characteristic Of Dr. Harrison.
As soon as he found there was any
suspicion of Il patient having been
miStrcatcd he Immediately sent for
"A coroner and ordered an invcstiga-
tiOn.

A great many medical authorities
take the ground that rheumatism is
peculiarly the disease of the flesh
eater, and the theory is strength
cned by the fact that the further you
go south the less rheumatism you
find, until when you get into the
tropics, where n vegetable diet is the
rule and people eat very little meat
of any description, there is hardly
any rheumatism.-Grecn's Fruit

Mr.. Williamr u Address

Prosecuting Attorney Emmett
Williams of Madison County drliv.
cred an interesting and instructive
address at the Opera House last
Sunday afternoon on the local option
question. Mr.. Williams read letters
from city and county officials, law
ycrs, doctors, merchants and mine
operators, some who favored and
others who opposed local option, in
which they one and all stated that
since local option had become u law
business interests and personal and
public morals were greatly inn
proved and that criminal cost were
greatly reduced.
Mr.. Williams is more than an
ordinarily entertaining and instruct
i've talker. IL is thought that his
argument greatly strengthened the
local option cause in this city. He
