WHY WE SHOULD FEAR BUGS.

The feeling of instructive revulsion
against parasites of all kinds which
characterize humanity generally, and
which is due to something much more
than the mere pain or annoyance that
their bites might infict, becomes
more interesting as further discover
les show the role of such insects in
the spread of disease. Unfortunately
this natural adherence has not been
enough to protect man under condl-
tons of poverty and uncleanliness
from harboring such parasites, and
now those who understand how much
more a mere personal annoyance is
in question from the existence of par
asites must take up the porblem of
eradicating them. The possibility of
the bedbug conveying relapsing fever,
typhoid and leprosy, has been sug
gested and apparently there is no
parasite of man that may not be a
mode of disease conveyance. Flies,
fleas, mosquitoes and bugs not only
are all under suspicion, but most of
them are also actually demonstrated
as ordinary and frequent conveyors
Of diseases of various kinds. Accord
ing to the Journal of the American
Medical Association health authori-
ties must now take up the problem
of getting rid of insect parasites in
order to stamp out disease

STOCK ORDINANCE
STILL IN FORCE

Mayor W H. Duncan requests the
Log Cabin Democrat to state that the
ordinance prohibiting stock from run
ming at large is still in effect and that,
on account of frequent complaints of
its violation, severe penalties will be
assessed against the owners of stock
running at large, unless the practice
is stopped at once. "The report that
the stock law will be repealed by the
council is Incorrect" said Mayor
Duncan, land you can say positively
that this ordinance will not be re-
pealed by the present council
Mayor Duncan also said there were
numerous complaints Of using roller
skates and riding bicycles on side
walks, and the ordinance prohibiting
this will be vigorously enforced. "In
fact" said the mayor, "all of the or
dinances of the city will hereafter be
impartially and strictly enforced, and
l hope that all citizens will cooperate
with the city officers in doing this"

SHALL LID BE PUT
ON SUNDAY PAPERS?
s. E. ANDERSON DISCUSSES
QUESTION FROM STAND
POIN OF NEWS DEALER.

s.I.ef.-s--asss-.s7 49, 7rxzes. $50
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
Because of the efforts by our
preachers and church people to create
a sentiment for the observance of the
Sabbath day and the stand recently
taken by our city officers, | feel that
at this time | owe it to my friends at
least to explain myself with refer
ence to the handling of Sunday pa
pers, which is being used by some as
an excuse why other things should be
thrown open.
My closest friends know that for a
long tine this is a matter which has
given me considerable concern, as
am and have always been anxious to
be relieved of this Sunday work. |
cannot hold the daily paper business
and give up the Sunday, and | feel
like | cannot afford to give up the
daily business with the big expense
that is on me- Again, if l should sell
the agency, which | have very Sc
riously considered, it would not
change the condition, except to shift
the work on someone else.
| have either attended to this work
personally or employed someone who
would not or did not care to attend
Sunday school. l do not mention this
as justification of the Sunday work,
and if any of my friends will tell me
that they know this matter is really
in the way of anyone who wants to do
the right, then l will gladly give up
the agency.
l asked the city officers last week
if they wouldn't enforce the Sunday
law by seeing that no papers were
sold by anyone, including the news
boys on trains stopping here, but
they thought it was not wise to be so
radical as this.
If anyone will assist me to work
this matter out as it should be done,
| will greatly appreciate it.

FAVORS EXTRA THREE
MILL SCHOOL TAX
r. l.. BRAWNER SHOWS IT
WOULD BE CHEAPER THAN
PAYING TUITION.
ditnr Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
| noticed an article some days ago
discussing the financial condition of
our school district and the remedy for
the shortage of funds. In the first
place, the statement was made that
something had to be done; that the
district cannot be run with the pres
ent available funds. Three remedies
were mentioned: First, that we do
not have school for year; second,
that an additional three-mill tax be
voted at the coming school election ;
third, that we pay tuition for a year.
In the first place, We can i'll afford
to keep our children out of school a
year. So let us not consider the first
proposition. Of the other two RENE
dies, the three-mll tax is decidedly
the better q mean cheaper) for the
masses. For instance, suppose your
property is assessed at 81 ,000 On an
assessment of three mills you would
pay SO additional tax. On the other
hand, if you take the tuition plan,
and supposing you have three chill
dren in school, which is about an av-
erage, you would pay $3.50 per month
for each pupil, or $3.50 per month for
the three, which totals up $50 tuition
for the year.
Now, | understood the moneyed men
of the town are very willing to pay
the tax. Others cannot afford, from
a financial standpoint, to vote against
the extra assessment of there mills at
the coming school election.

HENDRIX wins
I5-|NN|NC GAME
STATE NORMAL DEFEATED
IN ONE OF MOST SPECTACLE
LAR CONTESTS EVER WIT
MESSED HERE.

From Wednesday Dally.
Cooks single to center in the fif-
teenth ended in favor of Hendrix IN
one of the most spectacular games ev-
err witnessed here yesterday, the State
Normal losing by score of to A..
While the first part of the contest
was punctuated with a number of err
rors, the teams settled down to steady
hall and the last portion was played
with clocklike precision. Both Stew
enson and Landers pitched in fine
form, the latter allowing three more
hits. while Landers did not issue a
pass. Both seemed to grow stronger
as the game progressed. In the last
SIX innings men were frequently on
bases, but the hit to produce a score
was not Forthcoming.
The Pedagogues took lead in the
first that looked good for eight in
nings. Browning walked and stole
and scored when Charles muffed Co.
za's fly, the error being Charles first
since he has been playing center for
Hendrix. Landers singled, sending
GOA to third, from which he scored
on Webb's grounder to second. In
the fourth Garvey singled, went to
third on Young's double and scored
when GOA fumbled Parker's ground
err.
Hendrix took lead in the eighth.
Stevenson was safe when Coca mutf-
ed Landers' peg, went to second on a
passed ball and scored on Garvey 5
single. Garvey took second on the
throw-in and went to third on pass
ed ball, scoring on Young's long fly to
right. Parker then put the ball over
the left field fence for home run.
The Pedagogues, however, came
back in their half of the ninth and
tied the score. Morden singled and
went to second on Goza's grounder to
Stevenson. Erwin fumbled Landers'
grounder, Smiths safety scoring
Morden. Landers scored when An
derson booted Wray's grounder.
In the fifteenth Stevenson and Gar
vey singled and Landers pinked
Young, filling the bases. Parker foul
ed to Sipe and Anderson struck out,
but Cook, who was substituted for
Bush in right in the eighth, sent a
liner over second which scored Stew
enson with the winning run. 1t was
,, almost dark when the game ended,
and it would have been impossible to
play another inning. The score:

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED
RAIDNESS is TOO GENERALLY
CONSIDERED A SIGN OF
ADVANCED AGE.

A bald-headed person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed with
a healthy head of hair, because bald
ness is too generally accepted as an
indication of age. Many large corpo-
rations have established an age limit,
and refuse to take men over 80 years
of age as new employees.
Probably 65 per cent Of bald-head-
ed people may regain good head OF
healthy hair if they Will follow our
advice and accept our offer. We have

tee to grow hair on any head, unless
the roots of the hair are entirely
dead, their follicles closed, and the
scalp has become glazed and shiny.
We want people to try this remedy at
our risk, with the distinct under
standing that unless it does exactly
what we claim it will, and give salts
faction in every respect, we shall
make no charge for the remedy used
during the trial.
We know exactly what We are talk
ing about, and with this offer back of
, our statements no one should scott,
doubt our word, or hesitate to put our
remedy to an actual test.
We want everyone in Conway who
is suffering from any scalp or hair
trouble, dandruff, falling hair, or
badness to try our Rexall 1913" Hair

cate dandruff, cleanse and refresh the

the mere asking. There is no formal
