She has lived on it for six years, in

them out Of trouble, for once in a
while they are called upon to aid gov

from Capt. De Otte, commanding the
cutter Onondaga on the Norfolk sta
ton, tells of being called upon to aid
the lighthouse service steamer Holly.
which had gone ashore ON the Ports
mouth flats, Elizabeth river, in a
heavy fog. The lighthouse service
steamer Orchid was also on hand to
pull on the ship, but after she broke
four hawsers in the effort she gave
up the task and the cutter worked the
Holly into deep water. The master of
the cutter, according to Capt. De
Otte's report, expressed his apprecia-

ALLIES STAND TOGETHER.
Turkish Vizier Makes peace Plea
Balkans Have Not Weakened.

6dikdHS EldNC wv "SoNSiSH.
London-The Balkan nations wish
the world to know that they have not
weakened in their determination to
resume hostilities unless Turkey ac-
cepts their terms quickly, but in def
erence to the powers they may with
hold the execution of their resolve a
few days longer.
A sequel to this stand, which gives
some hope for ultimate peace, is the
report from Constantinople that Grand
Vizier Kiamil Pasha says that the con-
clusion of peace is an absolute neces-
sity for the Turkish Empire. Unless
peace is concluded, he declares, the
future of the nation will be gravely en-
dangered.

 It is the intention in the quitting of this car to equip it with models of homes, both country and city, sur rounded and provided with sanitary outbuildings and inside necessities, showing the insanitary methods used at present in most of the homes of the state, showing models of sanitary and insanitary methods of the prepa- ration and care of human food; for example, milk, butter, water, meats, and too often, vegetables.
 The car will be accompanied by a corps of men trained in public health and sanitary science, who will give lectures on methods of preventing communicable diseases. It is the in- tention, when this car is equipped to send it into every county in the state where there is a railroad, doing mis- sionary work, bettering the health and making more comfortable the in habitants.
 It is to carry the people of the state of Arkansas the knowledge on sanitary science, of preventive medi cines, that the idea of this health car has been conceived.

HEALTH CAR 10
 TOUR AkANSAS FUNDS ARE BEING RAISED TO BUY AND EQUIP EXHIBIT CAR AS MEANS OF EDU-
 GAPING PEOPLE.

Little Rock, September 22.-One of the surest ways of preventing the spread of disease, says Dr. T. B. Bradford, of the Rockefeller Hook worm Commission and district direct or of the Arkansas State Board of Health, is to educate the people to know what diseases are preventable. This he proposes to do by having a health car" to make trips over the state, demonstrating to the people how easy it is to stamp out many of the diseases which now are claiming toll in human lives by the thousands.
 Health and happiness are the nat ural estates of man; disease and mis- cry unnatural estates.
 The reason why we die early is be- cause we are ignorant of the causes Of disease.
 = The law passed by the last legisla- ture creating a state board of health for Arkansas has already borne fruit
  in an active health board with the machinery in motion to better the health conditions in the state
 Knowing that lax sanitary precau- rions are the cause of much disease and misery and the result of igno- rance on the part of the people, plans have been promulgated to reach the people directly and teach them by lectures and visible methods of bet tering living conditions. The success of the demonstrating cars in agricul- tural lines has led to the value of health car. The value of a public health car originated with Dr. T. B. Bradford of Cotton Plant, district di- rector of rural sanitation under the state board of health and member of the Rockefeller Sanitary Commis-

PRESIDENT SAYS LAST YEARS ENROLMENT WILL BE CON-
 SIDERABLY EXCEEDED.

Until the work or registration and classification is completed, no figures can be given out as to the enrolment at the Arkansas State Normal, which began it's sixth annual session this morning, but President J.

Formal opening exercises will probably be held on Thursday or Fri day of this week, the program to be announced later.
 The new girls dormitory is rapidly filling up with young fady students and all are delighted with the attrac- tiveness and convenience of the new quarters.
 An interesting feature of the pres ent session will be the practice school, which will be conducted under the su- pervision of Prof. c. c. Denney, head of the department of pedagogy, and Miss Ruth o. Dyer, practice teacher. Seventy Conway boys and girls, reY resenting 10 from each of the first seven grades, were enrolled this morning and will begin active class work tomorrow.

New York, Jan. 9.-Colonel Roose- welt, in statement this afternoon set himself strong against the proposal of Frank A. Munsey to bring the Pro- gressives and Republican parties to- gether.
 ."There is no more reason to get together with the Republican mach inc than there is to get together with the Democratic machine" MT. Roose- welt declared.
 Moreover" he said, "The attitude of the managers of the Republican party showed that it would be mere folly to come together"
 Swindle and fraud were the terms used by MT. Roosevelt in recognizing those in control of the Barnes-Taft machine. With them Progressives re- cruited from both the Democratic and Republican ranks have nothing in common, MT. Roosevelt declared.
 The way to get together, he stated was for those who believe in the Progressive principles to come into the Progressive party.
