Olvsrsltv Of LANGUAGE.

q. B. Taylor In his "Anthropology
says: Language is one branch OF
the great art Of sign making or sign
choosing. and Its business is to hit
upon some sound as suitable sign OF
symbol for each thought Whenever
q sound has been thus chosen there
was no doubt q reason for the choice.
but It did not follow that each Ian
suage should choose the same sound"
Thus we have the root explanation OF
the great puzzle Of diversity Of Ian
guage. Originally a matter Of sound,
language varies with the thing By
which Il u suggested, and hence tho
babel Of tongues found In our human
speech. -.

That is why we came down 80 quietly.

WHY HESITATE?
An Offer That Involves no Money
Risk if You Ascent 1t.

We are so positive our remedy will
completely relieve constipation, no
matter how chronic it may be, that we
offer to furnish it free of all cost if it
fails.
Constipation is commonly caused by
weakness of the nerves and muscles of
the large intestines. To expect cure
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen those organs and restore
them to healthier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
on our guarantee. They are eaten like
candy, and are particularly good for
children. They seem to act directly on
the nerves and muscles of the bowels.
They apparently have neutral action
on the other organs. They do not
purge or cause other inconvenience.
We will refund your money if they do
not overcome chronic or habitual con-
stipation and thus aid to relieve the
myriads of associate or dependent
chronic ailments. Try Rexall Orderlies
at our risk. Three sizes, 10, CSC, and
soc. Sold only at our store-The Rexall

HEALTH BOAAD AND

 Refuses to Pay
NEW BOARD LIKELY
Judge PbiInot is Sustained By Dis trict Attorney Nixon-Law
 Gives No Relief.

Because, he says the county will not allow him pay for services in such cases, Dr. B. H. Gallagher, pres ident of the Jefferson County Board of Health, yesterday declined to Quar- antine a case of scarlet fever at Twenty y-second avenue and Pine street which was reported to him by the attending physician, Dr. o. c. Black well. Dr. Gallagher contends that it Is not his duty, under the law, to act in such cases and especially if the county court refuses to allow him the customary legal fee for such ser- vice
 The action of President Gallagher promises to bring forth some inter- esting developments as County Judge Philpot may be called upon to take official action in the matter and there 1s probability of another county board of health being named, if the officials of the present board continue to refuse to quarantine similar cases.
 Some weeks ago Dr. Gallagher, as president of the Board of Health pra- scented a claim to the county for a lle- tie more than hundred dollars as fees alleged to be due him for ser vices in uuarantining smallpox, nen- ingitis and other courageous cases and Judge Philpot would not allow the claim in ary but the smallpox cases. It is contended by the county iudge that the law does rot give .tHf county court authority to allow fess in any quarantine cases except where smallpox prevails. The law spec'a'' mentions smallpox cases and maKe' no provision for pay for nemeefs U the county boards in anv other ais eases. When Judge Ph'ioot' wh
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1911-03-26

did not thoroughly diagnose the act under which the county board of health is governed, requested District Attorney T. Havis Nixon for a legal opinion in the mater. Mr Nixon held that under the law Dr. Gallagher could not recover from the county fees due him in any but the smallpox cases. On the strength of this opin- ion, Judge Philpot allowed only a part of the claim, that pertaining to the smallpox cases, and disallowed he other part of the claim. Dn Gallagher instructed his attorney, J.. M. Shaw, to file suit against the coun- ty for the amount disallowed, but At torney Shaw stated yesterday that after an investigation into the mat ter, he did not think the suit would be successful and that he would not file it.
 County Judge Philpot says he dis allowed part of the claim because the law does not give the authority to allow claims in any but the small pox cases. Dr. Gallagher, on the oth- erhand, says that the former county judges allowed such claims, and thai a majority of the cases that came un' der the supervision of the county health authorities were more trouble some and more difficult to handle than smallpox cases. He says ont

service for which he asked pay was the administering of a toxine in meningitis case. Although the us- ual fee is $100 Dr. Gallagher says he put in a claim against the county tor only $25 for the service and that this was one of the claims disallowed by the county court.
 That something should be done ill the matter seems to be the opinion of physicians, Judge Philpot and others interested in the health of the com munity Judge Philpot stated yesterday that he did not know what action he would take, but he said that any ac- tion would Be for the preservation ot the good health of this county and for 1 the enforcement of the health laws.

NV report of the intended Christmas
festival was a little premature, as it was
was written on the Thursday preceding.
In fact, it did not materializs on account
of the severe storm, but people found
out that fact before the Democrat arriv-
ed.
On Tuesday occurred the death OF
Mrs. Amanda Harlow at the Capt. Lewis
Bisbee homestead. Age, so years, 5
months, 10 days. Six generations of the
Bisbee family have resided in this an
cestral homestead, the deceased being
the fourth, l.. b. Spaulding, still resid-
ing on the place, the fifth, and his
daughter, Rilla, wife of DR.. +. W. Morse,
of Canton, the sixth. A score or more
of homeless little waits have at times
found here pleasant home through the
kindness of Capt. Bisbee and the place
has an interesting history for geniality
and good influences.
To one past the "three score years and
ten," it seems that very few of the old
homesteads are now occupied by the
original family name. Truly, tone
generation passeth away and another
cometh." Such is life. Full of vicissi-
tudes and changes. We are in fact a
part of natures product and the tender
growing plant has within 1t the germs
Of decay. The kernel of corn has the
germ of life within in and when placed
in the proper element will terminate
and produce in time its like, and then i,
dies, having accomplished it's designed
mission. So is human life. And if one
has accomplished his earthly mission
and sown the seeds of honesty and loyal
ty, it is q wise beneficent provision that
he should go hence and enjoy his re-
ward and enter the heavenly garner
where plants and flowers never change
nor die.
