or course the location is decided
upon before leaving and IL possible a
man is engaged to cart all camping
appurtenances from the train to the
camp. Trees and running water make
an ideal combination for a camp, but
care must be taken that the spot Is
not malarious or damp. There are
ideal spots In the Blue Ridge noun
tains, In the Adirondacks, in various
National monuments, such as the yell
lowstone park, near the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado, in Colorado. Nor does
one need to go far away, for a friend
ly farmer not far from town may be
willing to rent space for a tent, IL 1t
is impossible to go any distance.
In planning a hunting trip 1t Is nec-
essary to know regarding the game
laws. Information can be obtained
from the game and fish commissioner
of the state in which the camp is To-
Gated. A good way to learn Of con-
venient and enjoyable camping
grounds is to write the general pas
senger agent Of the railroad which
passes through the desired district.
He has a list Of desirable places and
will forward this and answer questions
pertaining to transportation, and often
knows regarding c~onveniences. In
fact some roads publish literature on
the subject. There Is one essential to
both men and women who expect to
camp. This canno be checked as
baggage but must be taken with the
person. 1t is the determination to
have a good time, to make the most
of every pleasure that presents itself.
and to overlook the discomforts that
occasionally creep in no matter how
well the trip has been planned.
Equipped with the last desideratum
the camping party will be a success.

TRAILING CR|PPEN
LONDON POLICE BELIEVE AMER.
CAN PHYSICIAN is HEAD
ING FOR CANADA
DISGUISED ASAPREACHER
Steward of Ocean Liner Has Suspi-
cIons Aroused by Antics of
Cleric's Eyebrow and
Tells Captain

London, July 2S-The belief is held
by Scotland Yard that DR.. Crfppen
n Ethel Leneve are on board the
steamship Sardiner, which sailed from
Havre for Montreal on July Is.
II is variously stated that Inspector
Dow has sailed for Canada, in search
TO- them.
According to a circumstantial story
told at Havre, two hours before the
departure of the Sandman, two pas
sensers who registered as Rev. Rob-
inson and Son, boarded the vessel.
The former was attired in a clerical
garb. He wore ~spectacles and had
short and apparently new grown
beard. The newcomers engaged a
second class cabin.
No suspicion was attached to the
couple until the steward noticed that
RobinsOn's eyebrow was slightly sep
GRATED from his forehead. on fur
ther watching the steward was assur-
ed the alleged son was a girl.
The captain of the Sandman sent
a wireless description of the two to
the French police, giving 1T as his
opinion that the couple were really
Cripipen and the Leneve woman The
French police communicated with the
British authorities, who are of the
opinion that Crippen and his COM
panion, after fleeing from London,
separated in South France, and re-
Joined each other at Marseilles trav-
cling together from that place to
HaVre.
The present clue is the first Of real
promise which the authorities have
secured since Crippen and his typist
disappeared, and the body of a wo-
man believed by the police to be the
wife of the physician, was unearthed
In the cellar of the Crippen home.
1t appears the detectives are sat-
isfed that Crippen and mis- compan-
ion fed to France and made close
connections with a steamr sailing for
Canada. They had time in which to
do this before a general alarm asking
for their apprehension, reached the
police of foreign countries.

some districts. This condition is due, he
says, entirely to the fact that people do
not give proper attention to sanitation
and allowing the diseases to gain head
way. Mississippi is simply entering upon
the fight against the infection as other
states are doing. This is no fad, as some
people claim, and DR.. feathers refers to
such as mere rot, and says if we don't
stop the infection the people of the state
will soon be where Porto Rico is.
He says the disease is so prevalent it
is attacking our economical conditions.
The children are dwarfed, physically and
mentally, and are unable to do good work
in the schools, while they are Indifferent
to their work at home
One of the field agents made a report
on one school in south Mississippi, where
there are ~ pupils. Of this number 81
were infected, nine seriously, while the
teachers also had the disease.
The infection, according to the reports,
is more serious in south Mississippi, but
the people there realize the situation fully
and are giving the field agents every CO.
operation in their work.
DR.. feathers thinks that, in remar-
kably short time, if the people will take
the treatment, the disease can be practically
eradicated from the state, and he and his
associates are devoting great deal of en-
ergy TO educating the people up to the
treatment, in addition to administering it,
while the physicians and druggists of
the state are doing great deal of work
along tie line.-Jackson News.

CLEAN UP AND BEAUTIFY DAY.

CLEAN UP AND BEAUI1FY DAY.
Saturday, October I, 1910.
The works CT our schools are seriously
handicapped by bad physical conditions
in and around our school houses. Dirty
and uncomfortable buildings neglected
yards, absence of out-houses or neglect
of same, all tend to breed disease and in
jure the weak child mentally, morally, and
physically. Such conditions are coming
to be regarded as shame and it is hoped
that concerted effort will be made to
improve these conditions. To this end
we have designated Saturday, October 1st,
as Clean Up And Beauty Day. Every
teacher, pupil, patron and friend of
schools is respectfully urged to join in
this effort to bring about ideal school
conditions.
This meeting should open with the crga
nization of a local School Improvement
Association, or short business session of
the same if one has already been affected.
Committees should be appointed to see that
the work is planned and carried out along
the lines most needed. The exercises
should consist of scrubbing windows, walls
and floors; cleaning away weeds, stumps,
logs, and debris; erecting flag poles, put
ting up pictures; building, CLEANING, or
ding yards; filling gullies; making walks,
planting shrubs and flowers, cleaning wells
or springs putting up shelves for books,
lunch basket fuel, and water; or making
any ether Improvement that the school
needs. If it is impossible to celebrate
this date as "Clean Up And Beautify
Day." do so on Friday, September goth,
or the nearest available date before school
opens.
1t is hoped that each community will
have its "Clean Up and Beautify Day
we'll written up in the local papers and
send this office copy of the proceedings,
thus giving publicity to the new move
ment and free discussion for these i'm
portant topics.
