ARTHRITIS DEFORMANS.
Painful Joint Ailment From
Which Many People Suffer.

From the YOUTHS Companion.
Arthr1tis deformans is the name of a
disease Of the joints. the underlying
cause Of which is not yet understood. 1t
is known that 1t has existed In the world
for very long time, because bones have
been found in many ancient ruins show
ing the characteristic 'deformity Of this
disease. It Is chronic disorder, and in
most cases a large number Of joints are
involved. It may come on at any period
Of nfe but it is not usual before the age
Of thirty-dve years, and is more fire.
Quent in women than in men.
It may begin either gradually or sud-
denly The infected joint or joints will
be red and swollen, and exquisitely pain
full from the very start in the acute form.
In the more gradual onset only one joint
may be affected. and great deal Of pain
may be felt in it without any visible
alteration for a time. Then another joint
may be attacked, but the progress is
slow, and several years may pass before
the condition becomes general.
In disease of such obscure origin as
arthritis deformans a great variety Of
theories will naturally be brought for
ward to explain 1t. Almost everything
that is bad for the health Of human be-
ings has been blamed first and last 1t
has been supposed to be equity or rheu-
mdtlC III us nature. pdu lily SUI
roundings, exposure to cold and wet, i'm
proper diet, the exhaustion due to long
worry or DEPRESSION Observation-Disclosures
have all been suggested as contributing
causes.
Perhaps most stress is to be laid upon
the nervous theory Of the disorder. The
theory that it is microbic infection has
attracted much attention, but 1t has not
been yet proved.
Although arthritis deformans is recog-
nized as an tncurable disease, still much
may be done to alleviate suffering and,
IL taken in the early stages, to check its
progress. Those suffering from 1t must
be always regarded as below par. and
everything possible done to build them
up. They should live in the open air In
the summer. and the diet should include
an abundance of cream, eggs and fresh
vegetables. Cod liver oil taken regularly
through the winter months Is often OF
benefit. The living quarters should be
dry and sunny. Hot-air baths do not
cure, but they are useful to relieve pain,
and massage given after them sometimes
serves to make the affected Joint more
supple, at least temporarily. Change OF
climate will often do more than anything
to give relief, especially II 1t can be made
from cold and damp climate to warm.
dry. sunny one, not too near the sea.
Every precautiOn must be taken to guard
against chilling and exposure to damp.
Although incurable, this disease does
not directly menace life, and many of its
victims live to old age.

An Oil-Concrete Road.
e Philadelphia Record

From the Philadelphia Record.
The first stretch of oil-concrete highway
to be laid In Pennsylvania has just re-
Gently been completed on the Harrisburg
Linglestown road. 1t is about a quarter
of q mile in length and is between Prog
ress and Paxtonia. The oil-concrete road
Is an experiment on the part of the state
highway depal tment, which in 1907 re-
built the highway from the eastern termi-
nus of the city to Paxtonia. The section
just laid replaces quarter Of a mile of
road constructed of concrete. The new
section Of road is made of concrete into
which are mixed asphaltic oils. The top
surface is not arched SO much as the
rest Of the road, the crown being con-
structed on a basis of three-eighths Of an
inch to a foot. The crown Is the same
as that used in laying a brick pavement.

The Oldest Oak in England.
From the London Telegram


A correspondent having written to Mr.
Lewis Harcourt. first commissioner Of his
ma jestys office of works, suggesting that
for it's proper protection a suitable fence
should be placed around the famous old
oak tree In Hampton Court Park, has re-
ceived a reply in which the right honor
able gentleman states: This fine old oak
tree In which you are good as to take
an interest is especially under the care Of
the keepers and the staff of the park, who
have strict instructions from Mr.. Har-
court as to its preservation and protec-
ton"
The tree, which Is situated close to the
south side of the Long Water, Is reputed
to be about thousand years OF age, and
1t Is probably the oldest oak tree In Eng
land. Its gigantic trunk two feet from
the ground measures about forty-five feet
around. and. being quite hollow. offers
standing room for about a dozen persons.
The sides. however, are so sturdy as TO
give support to a number of branches.
some of them dead wood. but the greater
number are still alive and come into bud
every year. Some time ago quantity of
dried grass and paper was placed in the
trunk by. it is supposed. mischievous boys.
and set alight. with the result that the old
oak was nearly destroyed.

ENDORSEMENT RESOLUTION
Table Motion to Instruct Committee to

Endorse Tom Ball for
Governor.
[By Associated Press. ]

Austin, Texas, Aug. 26.-There was
another lively row in the senate this
morning when Senator Cofer OF
Gainesville moved that the committee
on commerce and manufactures, to
which was referred the Hudspeth res.
olution to endorse United States Sen
ator Bailey's tariff stand, be instructed
TO submit a report. Several fervid
speeches were made.
Senator Mayfield offered an amend.
ment to the resolution endorsing the
junior senator's choice for governor OF
Texas, Thomas II. Ball Of Houston
and tried unsuccessfully to have II
also referred to the committee
Senator Real of Kerrville rebuked
the senate for its nonsense. Senator
Townsend declared he preferred Tom
Ball for governor against any other
man in Texas.

Real to table both the Cofer motion
and the Mayfield' amendment was
adopted. This action finally kills the
Bailey endorsement resolution.

RAIN REPORT
Cotton Damaged but Little-FaIl
Crops and Grass Greatly
Benefited.

An Eagle reporter has made careful
inquiry today from farmers in town
from all parts of the county and finds
that the damage to open cotton was
but very slight, nothing like what was
feared yesterday afternoon. In facr,
the rain was heavier in Bryan than
anywhere else, and large part of
the county escaped altogether. The
rain did not extend but a few miles
west of town, and on the south il
stopped a short distance below A. &
NJ. college. 1t was light on the east
and north, and nowhere was any wind
reported. The only damage to cotton
was from dirt spattered on it, which
will lower the class.
The farmers, as a rule, are glad the
rain came, as it will be of great ben.
eft to peas, sweet potatoes, fall gar.
dens, and will make winter grass.

REV. BARRETT SAYS SALOONS WILL SOON BE THING OF THE
 PAST.
RELY ON THE VOTERS
Says Organized Churches Are Behind the Movement-Take a Shot at
 the Notement-rakes q Shot at

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 1.-The Arkansas Anti-Saloon League is not championing the cause of any man for governor: we are standing for the submission and adoption of statewide bill, and we refuse to be hooked up with any political contest. There is no defection in the ranks of the Prohibitionists of the state over submission, except for little circle right here in Little Rock Dr. l.. l.. Abbott, who recently gave out a statement against submission, is opposed to the initiative and he has been opposed to the Anti-Saioon League ever since he came to Little Rock four years ago. When he first came, he tried to organize Temper ance Federation in opposition to the league, but he failed, and he has not liked the league since. He does not represent any one. while practically the entire organized church of the state is back of the Anti-Saloon League.
 This statement was made by key. Frank Barrett, superintendent of the league, who is pushing the snhn1is- sion question, and enthusiastically predicting it's success.
 The imitation petition and the bill are now in course of preparation by Hon. A. G. Little. Of Blytheville member of the last legislature, and other prominent attorneys of the state. and it is Dr. Barretts inten- ton to have them placed in thS hands of the circulators in every county of the seate by Jan. l, probab- l, before. He expects to be able tc secure fifty thousand signatures te the petition, although only twelve thousand are aeded.
 Dr. Barrett denies that the officers of the league are divided on the question, although pr. Barrett stat ed that half of them are not in faNo1 of submission "There are only eigh members of the Executive Commit tee" said Dr. Barrett, and four o them are actively at work for tn cause. Three members have not at tended any of the meetings. and on resigned several months ago. So is clear that there cannot be elgh members for ii and eight against i There is not one actively against l and if there is any passive oppos tion we do not know it. There wa only one vote against it in the COT vention, Dr. Draper, and he alter ward came over when he unders co it better and made it unanimous.
