LEPER ]. R. EARLY
HOLDS RECEPTION TO PROVE THAT Hi
is UNTAINTED.

John R. Early, the young south
erner, who was heralded about the
country as leper, gave a reception
last week to prove that he is I'M
tainted. 1t was held at the New
York Skin and Cancer Hospital and
was attended by medical men, a
number of Early's friends and a
sprinkling of the great public inter
ested in the case.
Early, who lately came from Wash
ington, where he has been locked up
for nearly year, received the guests
cordially and discussed his recent
isolation.
The reception was arranged by
DR.. L. Duncan Buckley, the spe-
cialist, who brought Early here to
show there is nothing lepros about
him. As the crowd gazed at him
his skin was clear and fresh, while
there was nothing to indicate trace
of any skin infection.
Early related a humorous incident
at the expense of the Washington
authorities.
What did you do when they had
you shut up:" he was asked.
Il raised chickens, and both the
chickens and their eggs were sent
into Washington and sold in the
open market. They would not let
my wife come within ten feot of me,
but they had a watchman who
brought me my food. He took no
special precautions about it, either,
so he handled dishes with his bare
hands and he carried away the tow
els that | used, too
If Early had been leper those
eggs might have spread disease all
over Washington added DR.. Bull
kley. If it had been infectious at
all, the eggs would have carried it. "
What Early has, DR.. Bulkley ex-
planned, is a simple inflammation
of the skin produced by alkali used
in pulp where he formerly worked in
North Carolina.

When you hear man sneering at
the local paper because it is not big,
cheap and newsy as the city papers,
says the Anderson (Tex.) Advocate,
you can safely bet that he does not
squander any of his wealth in assist
ing to make it better and that gen
orally the paper has done more for
him than he has ever for it. The
man who can not see the benefits
arising from local paper is about
as much value to town as delin-

coasts.
New Orleans, La, July Ga
That the hurricane which yesterday
swept the gulf coast of Texas and
Louisiana levied far heavier toll in
loss of life and property damage than
was at first supposed was indicated
today when points which had been
cut off from communication again got
in touch with the outside world.
Many isolated places yet remain to
be heard from and anything like
full list of the dead and injured may
not be completed for several days to
come.
That the property loss will run into
millions was madea certainty tonight
when whole towns which were not at
first believed to have suffered were
definitely reported to have been
wrecked. Over score of persons
are now believed to have lost their
lives and reports from points not yet
heard from may swell the death list
materially.
Cities and towns in Texas which
suffered from the hurricane and loss
of life and property damaged which
was occasioned there were as follows,
so far reported:
Galyeston-Five lives probably lost
off Tapon pier; one man killed in the
collapse of building; property dam
age about $4,000
Bay City-Three dead; six serious
ly injured; destruction of property
to extent of $50, 900.
Bay shore-one dead; consider
able property damage.
Volasco-only three stores are left
standing;' many homes are blown
down.
Austin-Many buildings unroofed;
telephone and telegraph wires level
ed; damage about 100000
Brazora-Many buildings destroy
ed; loss of life feared.
Pledser-Heavy roperty damage;
syrup mills wrecked.
Allenhurst-Many structures wreck
ed; rumors of loss of life as yet with
out confirmation.
Richmond-Fifty residences and
stores partially demolished.
Palaisco-Number of houses blown
down and fears are entertained that
several persons have persisted; def
mite reports say one child killed.
Augleton-Every house in town
badly damaged.
Distinguished lives reported
lost; considerable property damage.
Eagle Lake-One dead; many
houses unroofed; two long sugar
and rice plants partially wrecked.
Some of the towns along or near
the Texas coast, where it is feared
great damage may have been done,
but from which nothing has yet been
heard, are Lavaca, Indianola, Rock
port, Goliad, Victoria, Columbia,
Edna and Mattagorda.
In Louisiana, points in Camera par
ish are reported to have suffered Sc
Nerely from the hurricane. There
was loss of two lives at Mudd Pass
and much property is reported as
having been damaged in the settle
ments at Creole, Berry, Grand
Chenier and Johnsons Bayou.

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodo1 will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount OF
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest 1t.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach II
1t Is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat suflc-
lent amount Of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and 1t must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do 1t,
you must take something that viii
help the stomach.
The proper way to do Is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach Is weak 1t needs help;
you must help it by giving It rest,
and Kodol will do that
