DISEASE CONFINED
 10 NO ONE CLASS
HOOKWORM WIDESPREAD
DR. JACOCKS ENUMERATES IN LOCATIONS POINTING TO
 THIS DISEASE.
By Dr. w. P. Jacocks.

Everybody should know on the be- ginning that every symptom enumer- ated below may be absent and yet person may be infected. Oftentimes only one symptom is present. If the disease is newly acquired or in mild form a person will show no symptoms at all. If newly acquired it's only question of time before the symptoms appear. If in a mild form the symp- toms will never appear, and as far as that person is concerned hookworm disease will not affect him in any way, but this same person is what IS called "carrier" and keeps and spreads the disease in a neighborhood. Such person should be treated by all means
 No age, no race, no condition or life is exempt from the disease. Ev- one living in the south is exposed to the disease and may contract 1t just as is the case in typhoid fever.
 Wholesale examinations by families is the recommendation made. Chil- dren only one year old have been treated; adults over 80 have been treated and healthy looking indlvld- uals weighing over 200 pounds have been treated. No one can say that he is free from all disease till he has had a microscopic examination made with negative result.
 A large number of people of Ar kansas-approximately 100000 - are suffering from hookworm disease and consider their trouble due to some other disease. Hookworm disease ire quently causes headache, dizziness shortness of breath, paleness, easily tired out in feet and legs, poor appe- tite for breakfast, indigestion, heart burn, stunted growth, and poor prog ress in school work on account of poor memory. If you have had ground itch or dew poison you should be examin- ed, as this is the first sign of the dis, ease. It takes about one drop of blooo daily to feed each worm.
 You can have from less than 1OC to 6,000 hookworms, which live 1T your small bowel for from 10 to + years, suck your blood, inject poisor into your system and produce an in f1ammation of the bowel from theil bites. These worms each deposit from two to six thousand eggs daily, which pass with the bowel excretions of the infected person; and, if sanitary clos cts are not used, these eggs hatch out and in nine days the little worms arc ready to enter your body through the mouth and skin.
 Parents who do not use this oppor' tunity to rid their children of this disease, are standing squarely across their offsprings' future, condemnine them ofttimes to an early death or 2 life of misery, which may result 1T making them a public charge.
 TO BE EXAMINED.
 Bring on your first visit small quantity of your bowel action in a tir box, with your name and age written thereon, as only in this way will the examination be made.

VAN AIS
 CAUSE MANS DEATH
LOSES HIS LIFE TRYING TO PROTECT OTHERS FROM
 VICIOUS PRANK.

Little Rock, Nov. IA vicious Halloween prank by a party of uni identified boys caused the death of Joe Levenson, aged 40 years, living at 515 Cross street, at 8:30 last night. Mr. Levenson lost his life through his desire to protect others from harm from a street arc light which the young ruffians had pulled down in the street. He was attempt ing to cut with a pair of uninsulat- ed steel pliers the wire which car ried the current to the lamp. He re- ceived he full current of several thou- sand volts and death was instanta- neous.
 As MT. Levenson was skilled electrician, it is believed that he be- came excited by the danger to others and thus overlooked taking precau- tions for his own safety.
 A call was turned in at police head quarters and when Detective Burl c. Rotenberry, Lindley Thomas and Will Hobbs responded, they found Levenson lying on the ground where he had fallen. The officers carried him to his home, about half a block distant. Police Captain T. F. Cliff ton arrived a short time later with the pulmotor and it was used under the direction of Drs. Martin P. Me Neil and Morgan Smith for half an hour, but without success.
 According to the statement of a number of persons who were near when the accident occurred, Leven- sons death was directly traceable to a Halloween prank played by party of 12 or 15 unidentified boys, all less than 12 years old, who live in the 
 About 8:L5 o'clock the boys are said to have cut the wire used to low CT the arc light at this point, which caused the light to fall to the street with a loud crash ot breaking glass.
 Levenson heard the noise near by, and went to the place to learn what had occurred. When he saw the live wire lying across the street, which, if left there, would endanger the lives of pedestrians, he returned home, ob- tained a pair of pliers and returned to the place. He was seen to pick up the street lamp and carry it to the sidewalk. After this it is not known with certainty what he did, but it IS said he attempted to cut the wire which ran from the wire to the ground and thus received tho shock which caused his death.

were built up underneath, the men working in mud and water. In spite of these little difficulties the racing program was given, only being about three-quarters of an hour late in starting.
 The affairs of the fair association are so nearly closed up for the year that Secretary Sellers is able to re- port that the fair paid all operating expenses with probable net profit of something like $1O0, and this with the two best days of the fair. We'd nesday and Thursday were total loss on account of rain. The disas- trous experiences of past years have taught the management how to run the fair successfully, and it seems too bad that just as they learn this inn portant lesson that bankruptcy stares them in the face. It is to be hoped that some method may be devised for continuing the fair, and the annual meeting of the stockholders of the as- sociation has been called to be held at the courthouse next Friday, Mo- vember 2, at 2 p. m. All necessary matters will be attended to at thls meeting, including the question ot dissolution.

FAIR SUCCESSFUL,
 DESPITE WEATHER
DIFFICULTIES OVERCOME
CONWAY COUNTY ENTERPRISE SUCCESSFUL ENCOUNTERS
 HARD LUCK.

The following story taken from the Morrilton Headlight tells how the county fair at that place, despite un- usually unfavorable conditions, met with success last week:
 Conway county's big week of the year closed Saturday night at mid night when the gates of the Conway County Fair Association closed after a week that catered both to the op- timist and the pessimist. Opening with day of blustery and chilly, the hearts of the management by giving us almost ideal fair weather for Tuesday. In the early morning hours of Wednesday rain commenced fall ing, practically without warning, and continued to fall with little cessation until late Thursday night. Nor was it just usual fall showers, but at times it seemed as if old Jupiter Plu- vius was directing his utmost efforts against the fair management and the water literally poured in torrents on the fair grounds, drowning out the shows and concessions and forcing most all to seek shelter in the big ex hibit hall. Here again misfortune overlook us, for the wind drove the rain in under the high top of the l-4z fh0 through on the exhibits, forcing Sec retary Sellers and a large force of men to take down most of the speci- mems in the domestic arts exhibit hall and struggle vainly to protect them from injury.
 To crown it all, the big culvert on the north side of the race track gave way, leaving big break prac- tically entirely across the track, and it then seemed that the fair manage ment would surely lose all religious tendencies.
 Friday morning the sun was shin- ing and optimism again reigned. Il did not matter that the shows, con- sessions and exhibits were all sadly disarranged. These things could ano would be remedied, and the promises of the fair management to the people should be kept. Secretary Sellers put his force to work and system came out of chaos. The carnival people though drenched and drabbled, were a cheerful lot and went to work smll ing. In looking over the race tracl 1t seemed that it would simply be i'm possible to get it in shape for tha' afternoons program, but a racing program had been promised and mus be given. Men and teams were put to work filling the big washout in the track. It was after 1:30, and the work was practically finished,wher timbers again started to give away These timbers had been put in just before the fair opened and there was no thought of their being defective The management was agaln uE against it from an unlocked for quar- ter. Work did not stop. Heavy tlm- bers were secured and, with the aid of jack screws and stones, supports

A Space For Our Little Friends
NOVEL VAL ENT|NE PARTY.
Invitations Read, "Please Be a Birdie
and Come to Ny Party"

Valentines day being the one on
which birds are supposed to choose
their mates. mamma had 4 novel idea
for EthelS valentine party. The invi-
tationS read. "Please be a birdie and
come to my party and in the corner
Of each little nOte We're two doves COO
ing. Ethel'S ann went to no end
of trouble to make the chilu's costume
resemble a birds body, with wings
complete, and Ethel looked lovely in it.
Most of the party had bird costumes.
and the sight was indeed a novel n
when the male birds chose their mates
and the pairs danced around the beau
tifully decorated room.
".\Ow, come to the dining ROOM" said
when the little folks We're
tired of dancing, and she led the way.
"Oh." "Oh." 'lSn't it lovely" How
beautiful..' We're some Of the eXclama-
lions that escaped the birds when they
entered. The walls of the room were
covered with branches of trees and
leaves, and in every corner hung a gild-
ed cage with a singing canary in it.
The edge of the table vas bound with
straw and twigS. making it look like q
huge nest, and all over the table We're
strewn candy eggs. which We're given
to the ''party" as souvenirs. After re-
freshments Ethel went around and
whispered the name of q bird in each
child'S ear. and after all had been nam
ed she said:
Nov. each in turn must make the
noise appropriate to the bird she repre-
sentS, and the one who gueSSeS the
most birds from the sounds will get a
prize"

Fashion Ideas and Household Hints
THE ~NEEDLEWOMAN.

To renew ~buttonholes sew a small
piece Of cloth over each side Of the old
buttonhole. stitching it down fatty all
around. Then cut and make a new
bnttonhole right yer the worn one. If
you have none Of the material of which
the garment is made a piece Of linen
tape may be used in the same way.
Bnttonholes may more easily be
made in material which ravels if an
interlining Of some firmer material is
placed under the Tapped or hemmed
edge of the opening. Try also cutting
n DuttOnhOle at a time and making it
complete before cutting another. Each
hole should be carefully overcast and
outlined before working.
\ coInmon mistake of the inexperi-
enced home dressmaker is cutting the
sleeves too large. If the armholes feel
too tight when you are trying on the
dress do not cut the material away UNI
der the arms, but snip it with the point
OF the scissors a quarter of an inch or
deeper until it is easy fitting. This
will often give the required spring, and
the sleeves may be basted in beyond
the snippings.

THE FABRICS FOR SPRING.
Crepe de Chine Will Be Made Up In
Coats as Well as Frocks.

There is every effort on the part Of
the American designers to introduce
Tor spring q jacket not longer than
tW~enty-seven inches and which is
longer III back than front. 1t will have
ong sleeves and will button high over
the chest for the spring season, but it
VIII probably be lowered as soon as
the warm weather sets in.
The skirt which they have approved
ana heralded for spring will be as mar
row as 1t has been for two years. and
1t Will take on the looseneSS around the
hips and knees which has distinguished
the skirts of this winter.
AS for materials. Paris SAYS that sat
in will he withdrawn for EVERYDAY
gowns and suits and that crepe de
chine, 10Th plain and stamped. will be
the favored fabric of the hour.
Crepe de chine will o only be made
for GOWNS. but II coat suits. which is
an idea also brought out with fOulard,
These are both cool fabrics, ever more
so than mohair or the so called bril-
liantine, but they both have to be lined,
which is a disadvantage.
In spring the suits will be lined with
the thinneSt china silk, that translucent
kind that has nc seeming warmth and
which washes as easily as muslin.
