whiskers?
Certainly no physician doubts,
that whiskers are herds for mil
lions of germs and for this reason
the surgeons in the German army
have for many years not been al
lowed to wear whiskers. Surgeons
actually should not wear whiskers,
neither should dentists, the latter
because their faces are always
near to their patients and as whis-
kers are liable to create an unwel-
come pull" by being tangled up in
their machines. But there is very
little harm in wearing whiskers by
a general practitioner, providing
that he is clean. Cloth carries
germs as well as whiskers, and in
order to absolutely avoid carrying
germs from one patient to an
other. ii would be necessary that
the physicians would make their
calls stark naked and even that
would not be sufficient, unless they
would take a full bath and thor
ough disinfecting after each visit.

Just before Tom Sampson was
about to board the I o'clock O. R.

man stopped him, told him he was
drunk, and instructed him to stay
off the train. Sampson immedi-
ately walked over to The Press of

absolutely sober when he told it,
and that was a few minutes after
he had been prevented from board

He said that he and his partner
had secured work at PascO, had
got their tickets, and were on the
depot platform. Sampson had three
bottles of beer with his luggage. A
policeman came up to him and in
sisted on seeing his ticket. He was
then apparently satisfied, but a

FOR PO|NDEXTER
MUST VOTE 6. D. P. BALLOT

Democrats who want to vote for
Miles Poindexter for the United
States senate or any other candi-
date running on the republican
ticket p.,lst vote the republican
primary ballot in order to have
their votes counted.
The impression prevails with a
number of persons that a democrat
can scratch" his ballot or write" in
the name of a republican on his
ticket. This can be done, but 1t
will not count for the man thus
voted for, unless there are enough
ballots of this character to give the
republican a nomination on the
democratic ticket.
So to make vote for a republi-
can effective a democrat must vote
the republican primary ballot or
republican who may want to vote
for the nomination of democrat
must likewise call for democratic
ticket, to get results.

b0L0 CLUB ENTERS i
Deep into POLITICS

While things are a little quiet on
the surface, the wise ones say that
the fight on the Bolo club-the
Tammany hall Of the Spanish War
Veterans, is going right ahead. On
the other hand, the members of the
Belo club say that the opposiaion
has been broken and that the in

been put to flight.
1t is now charged that the Bolo
club was induced by some of the
court house politicians to bring out
Allan Scott for county commits
sioner. E. H. Eshelman and Guy
Croft, members of the club, are
candidates for representative.
Through Deputy Clerk Woodfill,
a member of thet Bolos, the club
will line up for Cal Atkinson for
county clerk, despite the fact that
Atkinson Is not a member of the

SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain, Aug. S.
Anticipating a great demonstra-
ton by the clericals, revolutionists
and Carlists on Sunday, the govern
ment today sent endorsements to
San Sebastin. The incoming troops
are supplied with ball cartridges
and 1t Is reported that orders to
their commanders are to shoot to
kill at the first sign of disorder.
San Sebastian, the summer cap
ital Of the kingdom, is seething
with discomfort and a revolt is dis
cussed openly.
The temper Of the population is
aggravated by news from the Bis
cayan province officials that
clashes between troops and revolu-
tiOnists have occurred. The fact
that dispatches are closely censored
led to the belief that the conflicts
are more serious than the dis
patches relate. :.
Newspaper correspondents here
are anticipating the adoption of a
strict censorship by arranging for
courier service to the French Dor
der, where dispatches may be for
warded by telegraph.
