ences on questions OF principle. This
is most glarlngly evident when the al
legged questions are considered. They
are SO pcevishly contemplate that
they emphasize by contrast the real
questions over which the movement
was once divided. And let me say
right here that few things are more
va,uab,o TO a socialist movement than
genuine discussions on principles. We
need never fear death or lethargy
vben the membership is divided on
questions Of fundamental principle.
Here, in my opinion. is the basic
difficulty with the party at the pres
ent moment. 1t is not in sufficiently
close touch with the real fight of the
workers. II has somehow been caught
In a brckwash OF the Industrial cur
rent and has become academic rather
than militant. a vote and dues gather
ing machine rather than n vital ex-
preston of the class struggle.
Whenever and wherever the sociai-
fst party is composed largely Of the
same individuals who compose the
economic movement, and where they
are active in each OF these movements.
many OF the difficulties now complain
ed Of disappear. Where the socialist
party is busy doing things, where II
is participating directly in all the
struggles of labor. where IL is really in
the class struggle and not simply talk
ing about IL. there Is little room for
either spies or petty politicians to do
any harm.

How Lamar Fires Start.

An incident occurred, Wednesday
evening, over at Harkless' store, that
throws some light upon the mysterious
origin OF fires, says the Lamar Democrat.
The electric lights had to be turned of
for about an hour during the evening
on account of contact somewhere be-
tween the light and telephone wires.
AS the lights were turned en-, the sparks
and flame began to shoot out from a
peint in the ceiling above the north
show windows. Fortunately, the folks
had not yet left the store. They were
at first nonplussed as to the course Of
the fame and sparkes, for the store, in
stead of being lighted by electricity, is
lighted by a system of it's own. But
some one remem bered that there was
one electric light that burned in the
rear of the store, and consequently that
the fire must come from en- electric
current. So the wire running to the
rear OF the room was clipped, and the
blaze and sparks at the top Of the win.

proved that when the wires had been
taken out of the building, 10 some way

Alpha Clubs Unique Meeting.

The second meeting OF the Alpha club

Of Mrs. Triplett south OF town. This
meeting was unique one, and its novel
ty is the Alphas' testimony to the fact
that, "yariety's the very spice OF life

when decorated with the baby photo OF

that Commander Peary's statement
that he saw the North Pole by NOON

"ThrowiDg off my Clothes" said the

moment the dorsal fin Of mighty shark

There was pause, then one of the

Apples Scarce and High.

''There is not a decent apple in Mis-

said well known wholesale fruit mer-
chant today. "For instance there is one
big apple grower who has supplied the
biggest part of the Ozark apples used
here for several years past. He has not
enough apples this year to make pie"
Some Arkansas apples, mostly OF the
Ben Davis variety, are arriving in bar
rels, but the quality is so poor that
many of the merchants refuse to handle
them. The apple crop in the Ozark dis
tricts is said to be the poorest for many
years.
According to the fruit dealers apples
will be high this year. Colorado raised

Typhoid Fever Prevention.

Typhoid fever is caused by a tiny germ
so small that the humtu m nd cannot
grasp the wonderfully small fraction Of
matter that it really is. YBt human
hands are so cunning that they can kill
this enemy OF human life.
Typhoid fever can take its hold in
only one way. The germ which causes
the fever must be taken into the stom-
ach through the M )uth. Keep this i'll

But let perhaps one germ enter the
stomach of human being who is not
at his best. Down through the intes-
tine it travels with the food till it finds
a srot that suits it exactly. Here it

There is no trouble to prevent this in
fiction. But, once let the germ get its
hold, and even the doctor can hardly
do more than assist nature to re-estab-
lish itself, il it can withstand the poison
that assaults it during the course of the
disease.
Typhoid is not really fever. The
fever is symptom, result OF the poi
son in the blood, just as auy rattlesnake
bite causes fever by injecting POISON in
to the blood. The principal is the same.
The poisons are different kinds, that's
all.

flies and insects of all descriptions. A

Do not lot flies light on your lips, or

doors. Keep liberal supply of fly pa

time. Cover all food that is exposed

Be particularly careful to avoid fresh
vegetables or fruits that may have been
