For Your Health's Sake

against dirt and disease, and in ev-
cry way aid and assist those who by
law are charged with the respon-
sible work ofpreventing thespread
of disease in our own community
or its introduction from outside
sources.
The physicians of Camden have
sounded'a warning that would be
we'll for us to heed. Disease germs
Turk in darkness and filth. But
don't get it into your head that
one little spasmodic attempt to
cleanse the town will suffice to re-
move the danger. The only sure
and safe way is to clean up and
keep clean.
The sunshine is Gods greatest
agency for health. Camden has
too many trees for some of us to
get the fresh air and sunshine we
need. Homes where trees exclude
air aud sunshine are yeritable
breeding places for consumption.
Sunshine and fresh air.kill dis
ease germs. This is one reason
why you should see to it that both
these health given agencies are
not excluded from your homes.
If Camden had fewer trees the
doctors bills would be lighter.
There should be more discussion
of health topics in the churches,
schools, lodges, societies and in
the homes. And these should bear
fruit in the shape of plans suggest
ed for securing better health con-
ditions in every community.
*#
Filth and darknessmean disease
and death. Light and cleanliness
make for life and health. Then
let US abolish the filth and dirt
and let in the light.

Petition Seeks to Set Aside Lo~
cal Option Election.

The petition of the temperance
advocates asking that the localop-
tion election of July 8>be set aside
was fled Saturday in the corpora
ton court in Bristol, Va.
Italleges that 170 illegal votes
were'cast for licensing The sale OF
liquor; it charges that the poll tax
OF l07 who voted fer license were
not paid out.of their own funds az
required by law; that 303 persons
voted for license who eithprresided
in Tennessee or outside the cor
porate limits and were not eligible
to vote; that q number of persone
voted who had been guilty ofcrime
aud thus were disqualified. The
names ere specified in all cases.
The petition closes with the usual
prayer that theFvotes Illegally cast
be eliminated. This would givva
substantial dryrmajority. To-say
the feast Of 1t, it looks like losely
held election.

The City Board Of Health asked
for an expression from the citizens
of the town on enforcing the san
itary laws, and the answer came
good and strong: Enforce the
laws! 1t is as much the duty of
the health officers to compel you
to obey the sanitary laws as it is
for civil officers to compel you to
obey the general laws. And the
same should be true respecting
any and all the instructions given
by the health officers for the pro-
lection of the public health.
Don't live in rooms that,have.no
fresh'air. SUCK rooms are danger
.ous. Always sleep with your win
dow open in winter and summer.
Don't be afraid of damp air and
might air. They are not danger
ous, but rooms that are kept closed
are dangerous, because the,poison
of disease are in such rooms. Let
all the sunlight and fresh air that
you can into your rooms. Sleep
an the fresh air. Live only in the
fresh air.
Typhoid is classed among the
preventable diseases. And yet not
long ago in a certain eastern city
there were 194 cases Of this terri
BILE disease in two wardsalone, and
5,637 cases during the year for the
entire city. The estimated money
cost of the 1874 cases in the two
wards, including loss of wages,
medical, hospital, and funeral ex-
penses, amounted to nearly $685.
900.
The moral is, it pays to spend a
little time and money.

FARMER KILLED HIMSELF.
Body of Ed AIdrich Found in Field
Near Smith Center.


Smith Center, Kan, March 11.-Ed
Aldrich, one of the we'll known and
highly respected young farmers of
Banner township, was found dead in
an alfalfa field by his uncle, Phillip
Tucker. He had been dead two or
three hours when found. A double
barrel shotgun with one barrel emptied
was by his side, and almost the entire
head was blown off
For six months past he had shown a
disposition to be downcast at times,
and a great many times complained
at home of feeling unlike his former
self.
The general belief is that he became
suddenly despondent and concluded to
end his troubles in the shortest way
possible, but the family insisted that
his mental condition when he was at
the Aldrich home here in town, the
forenoon before he was found dead,
does not Justify the conclusion.
A young wife and three small chill
dren. besides the father. two half
brothers and two halfsisters survive.
Mr. AIdrich was so years of age. He
was always a hard working farmer and
prosperous. He had a good farm and
everything that could tend to content
ment-pleasant family relations, a fell
low liked by everyone in the neighbor-
hood, a snug bank account and far more
than the average of worldly goods

ECZEMA A GERM DISEASE
Myriads of Microscopic Animals Infest
the Skin of the Sufferer.

When the skin of an eczema SUFFERED
itches and burns in untold agony, do
you know what is going on within the
pores of that skin ?
Myriads of microscopic animals are
gnawing at the flesh. breaking down
the fine cells and causing testers, thick
scales and that terrible itch The
germs multiply faster than Nature can
throw them Off
Now. there is only one way to get
rid of these germs-they must be
killed in their lodging places. Dosing
the stomach or trying to cure the
blood will not, of course, kill the
germs, and that is why all the blood
remedies fail in eczema; that is also
why salves which do not penetrate can
do no permanent good.
Ordinary oil of wintergreen properly
compounded in liquid form will pene-
trate the pores of the skin and kill the
eczema germs. If properly mixed with
thymol, glycerine and other ingredi-
ents Gas in D. D. d. Prescription) this
wash will build up the tissue of the
skin and promote its healthy growth,
giving Nature a chance, while killing
the germs faster than they can multi
ply.

Place.

Beloit, Kan, March 11.-Undoubt-
edIy the youngest farmers in Mitchell
county are Ruth, 8 years old, and
Ralph. Z years old, the children of
Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Noah. Each of
these children has farm in his
name and has been farming it with
the aid of a guardian for the past five
years.
Mrs. olive Noah, the mother, is the
guardian, and files reports OF the con-
ditions of the farm, the expense of
maintenance and thei ncome. regularly
in the probate court. Considerable
wheat was grown on the farms the
past year and the report recently filed
shows a very good income for the
year.
The intention is to keep the farms
in custody for the children until they
become old enough to care for them
selves. In the meantime with dollar
wheat and "fifty cent corn un-
doubtedIy a nice sized bank account
will have accrued by the time the
children reach their majority.

that the little one was dead, it having

WAS PUSHED FROM TRAIN.
w. N. Kennedy of lola May Die From
His Injuries

HIS IDJur1eS.
lola, Kan, March Ill was stand
ing on the platform of a coach as the
train approached Gas City. short
distance from Lanyonville, some one
struck and knocked me from the
train"
In intervals of consciousness. w. N.
Kennedy of Moran, was able to make
this brief statement explaining an in
jury he received in falling from train
near Gas City. in the early morning
hours. Kennedy is at the home OF
Perry Lipp, in Gas City. DR.. G. W.
Moore says that Kennedy may die.
Kennedy, who works in the smelters
In Gas City, lives with his family IN
Moran. Every morning he goes to
work by boarding a Katy train for Gas
City. He boarded the Katy Flyer al
Moran, as usual. When the train hao
passed Lanyonville, Kennedy says that
he arose from his seat and walked out
to the platform in the rear of the coacn
in which he was riding, in order to be
ready to alight when the station in Gas
was reached. While the train was still
going at high rate of speed, some
one, Kennedy declares, struck him
with some blunt instrument knocking
him from the train. There is a deep
cash over Kennedy's left eye which DR..
Moore says must have been inflicted
with some blunt instrument to confirm
the injured mans statement The
wound, the doctor says, does not re-
senble one which would have been re-
ceived in falling from the train.

Money in Good Cause.

Money in Good Cause.
Chapman, Kan, March 1.-THE Chap
man Commercial club met in regular
session and showed again its progress
siveness.
After going through the regular routine
of business, the good roads committee
made its report on the south road lead
ing into town. After lengthy discus
sion it was decided to spend $3.50 on
this three-quarters of a mile. Since
the recent floods this piece of road has
been in bad condition but as the club
intends putting in crushed rockbed,
it will make it one of the best pieces of
road in this part of the country.
Not only has Chapman a live COM
mercial club, but also the finest county
high school in the world of which she
is proud. This school has caused the
town to grow steadily ever since it's
establishment in 1889 Farmers all over
the county, and neighboring counties
are selling or renting their farms,
moving to Chapman to give their chill
dren the benefit of the school.
Chapman is located in one of the best
farming districts in the state.

THEY SMOKED CIGARETTES.
Eight Young Boys Arrested at lola
Under New Law.

lola, Kan, March 11.-Eight young
lads, under the age of 81, were ranged
along the sergeant's desk in the lola
police court, charged with smoking
cigarettes in violation of the new anti
cigarette law passed last week by the
legislature. Because the city had no
auxiliary law, the youthful offenders
were dismissed with a severe lecture by
the judge.
The city has no municipal ordinance
containing the provisions of the state
act and no arrests can be made by the
city police until such a measure is
drafted and passed by the council. At
present the state officers are the only
ones who can prosecute under the new
act, though arrests may be made by
the police and the offenders turned
over to the state officers for prosecu-
ton in state courts
