legations.

Dr.. B. S Rhea, of Lebanon, special
agent of the State Board of Health OF
Tennessee for the investigation OF
pellagra, is in Columbia today max.
ing an investigation of the disease in
the city and county. DR.. Rhea has
only recently commenced his work
and has Only made Investigations in
the counties Of Wilson and Davidson
where he found number of cases.
He stated to a representative of
The Herald this morning that there
had been three deaths in Maury coun.
ty which were diagnosed by the ply.
sicians attending as pellagra and that
he had heard of one or two other
cases where the victims were not
dead ALTHOUGH the disease was said
to be in an advanced state.
DR.. Rhea expects to make a thor.
ough inspection of the various coun.
ties of the State and when he finds
pellagra take such steps as may be
deemed necessary to stamp them out.
1t has been the general opinion Of
medical experts, especially in Eu-
rope that pellagra was not conta-
gious, but the State Board of Health
of Tennessee has gone on record tc a
contrary effect for the reason that
wherever cases have been found here
there have always been several 9TH
ers found in the same vicinity.
DR.. Rhea, while not engaged in the
hook worm investigation, is very
much interested in that subject and
talked very entertainingly of the
work that is being done in the noun
tain counties Of the State. He said
that in his old county of White and
in the adjoining county of Warren a
very large per cent of the children
examined mad been found to be in.
fected In Warren county actual eX-
aminations show over ffty-eight per-
cent of the school children to be in
fected with the parasite.
Dr.. Rhea is a member of the well
known and prominent Rhea family, OF
White county, and is brother-1n-
law of COmptroller Frank Dibrell and
S. s. Dibrell, & prominent lndepend-
ent Democratic leader.

RAIN IN

STREETS AND YARDS
HARDEST HOURS DOWNPOUR
THAT OLDEST INHABITANTS
REMEMBER.

Considerable Damage Done the Veg
etables and Corn; the Latter 8einq
Blown and Beaten DoWn-Storm
Over Small Area.

Perhaps the hardest rain, certainly
one ,qSI tha hardest, that ever fell il
-srv history of Columbia, came down
late Saturday evening. The proven
vial oldest inhabitant' is the author
ity for the statement that the sheets
Of water which deluged the streets
of Columbia and the surrounding ter
ritory distanced anything of the kind
within his memory.
The rain began about half past five
o'clock and came down in perfect
sheets. And it was not simply q
spasmodic shower but lasted for near
ly an hour 1t was impossible to
keep dry under shed for the wind
was blowing and the sheets of wind
penetrated everything in their wake.
People who were going to the trains
at the time were drenched for the
sheds at the depot afforded no pro-
lection at all.
The rainfall was so terrific that at
times there was as much as four
inches of rain on the public square.
The water in the underpass on South
Main street was up in the body OF
buggies passing through it. And in
the cemetery underpass the water
was almost as deep. Sewers were
overfowed and yards were speedily
converted into lakes and CULTS.
In some of the yards on South
Main and South Garden streets boats
could have been easily tloated. Con-
siderable damage was done to gar
dens by the overflow The rain did
not extend moro than five miles South
of Columbia and about the same dis
tance East But where the rain and
wind did strike the corn a great deal
'of damage was done. South of the
city much of the corn, exceptionally
heavy this season, fell an easy VIC
tim to the combined assaults of the
driving rain and wind.
AS the result Of the hours rainfall
Duck river and all Of the streams
near the city rose. No accurate state
ment of tLe rainfall can be secured
but it is estimated that not less than
two inches fell during the hour after
half past five o'clock

BUSY THRONG ON
STREETS OF CITY
PEOPLE HERE FROM ALL PARTS
OF COUNTY ARE TRADING AT
LIVELY RATE.

For the first Monday in August an
unusually large crowd is in the city
today. The streets present a regular
first Monday in the fall or winter ap-
pearance. There have not been so
many people on the streets since the
first Monday in April. And it is a
buying and trading crowd. There are
loads of w&termelons, and vegetables,
and corn and hay and wood and 9TH
er country truck standing on the
square and on the streets adjacent
thereto, and the mule is hero of
course and in larger numbers than
usual for the season. The neighing
of the horse, the whinnying of colts
and the spiels of the vendors give an
unusually busy appearance to the
square. People are not only selling
but they are buying and the stores
report a good business, 1t is evident
that Gen. Prosperity is still abroad
in the goodly land of Naury and
there is every promise Of one Of the
best seasons that the merchants Of
the city have ever known.

Free Remedy
 Helps Chi|dre.,

Many a mother has learned of way of avoiding sickness in her family, es- pecially among the children, by the use of free sample bottle of the fa- nous laxative, Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This offer of the doctors to send free sample bottle has been re- sponded to by thousands of women in all parts of America.
 This pr. CaldwelIs Syrup Peps'n is c truly wonderful laxative and especially adapted to the needs of babies and children because it is pleasant to taste and no child will refuse it. Then, it is mild and never gripes. It Is all that a child's remedy should be, though it Is a good laxative for the whole family because it is effective at all ages. Ii is simply not dynamic like salts. pills and powerful cathartics. which should not be given to children anyway.
 Nine times out of ten when a child complains and you don't know exaely what is the matter with it, 1t needs 9 laxatiye--its bowles are constipated. tone up the child and soon it will be we'll again--over night wonderful re- suits have been secured with syrup Pepsin.
 You can buy 1t of any druggist. at fifty cents or a dollar a bottle, the lat ter being the family size, but you are invited to make a test of 1t first at the doctors expense. Send him your ad- dress today and he will send you free sample bottle direct to your home. Then when satisfied buy it of your fav- orite druggist.
 Dr. Caldwell does not feel that the purchase of his remedy ends his obli- gation. He has specialized in stomach. liver and bowel diseases for over forty years and will be pleased to give the reader any advice on the subject free of charge All are welcome to write him. Whether for the medical advice or the free sample address him Dr. W. B. Caldwell. l02 Caldwell building Monticello. Ill.

Apropos of your recent interesting editorial, Accidents of History" in which you refer to Henry Georges long citation of the story of the stoppage by an English warship, by order of Charles l., of a vessel on which Oliver Cromwell had taken passage for New England, it is a very little matter, but MT. George might be interested to know that all modern historians agree that this story is entirely apocryphal. No ba- sis for it has ever heen adduced.- Letter to the New York Evening Post.

BOY SCOUTS IN RUSSIA
Tiny Warriors Go Through Their Ev- olutions Under the Eye of
 the Emperor.

The review of the boy scouts by the czar at St. Petersburg was de- lightful spectacle. The vast expanse of the Mars field was checkered by the scarlet, green, white and khaki uniforms of the tiny warriors, whose evolutions were watched with delight by immense crowds. The bright sum- shine was tempered by a breeze.
 As the emperor and his suite rode down the lines, greeting each detach- ment, the boys answered in Russian soldier fashion: "We wish good health to your majesty" Each sepa- rate command then demonstrated its special aptitudes. To the accompa- niment of their own bands they went through drills and gymnastic exer- cises. The Tashkent battalion pro- duced some excellent fencers; the Odessa contingent, 1000 strong, showed admirable training; there was football team, which kicked the ball among the imperial suite, much to the czar's amusement; and small firemen climbed dummy houses. The march past of the 5000 boys lasted 40 minutes. One little drummer was five years old. A tiny brigade had a tiny ambulance drawn by donkey. The czar, who was hugely delighted, thanked each detachment, and after the review expressed his gratitude to the officers and the schoolmasters.
 The movement is growing rapidly. Russia will soon have 100000 boy soldiers.
