 CASES AT tNOLA

From Saturdays Daily

Jacocks and Callen, who are completing the fourth week of their survey of Faulkner county with their appointment at Conway today. This is the largest number yet found at any place and emphasizes the inn portance of everyone being examined while the doctors are here. Dr. Ja- cocks stated, however, that on account of the bad weather and the holiday Thursday, the number of examina- tions this week was much smaller thas that of the preceding week.
 Instead of going to Providence on Tuesday of next week, the doctors will hold a dispensary at Mayfower.

It makes him cooperative in every worthy enterprise of the city; it places a value on the minority years of his citizenship life.

From Saturdays Daily
 Judges and clerks for the forthcom- ing Democratic primary may be chos- en at the first meeting of the Demo- cratic County Central Committee, to be held here next Saturday, according to report going the rounds in polit- ical circles today. This is depart ure from precedents, the committee having heretofore only fixed the time and rules for the primary at the first meeting, adjourning until a time usu- ally about one week before the pri- mary to select the election officials.

changeabIe Climate
IS A CONSTANT THREAT TO THE
 HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE.

Dr. Hartman. of Columbus, Ohio. discusses an important health topic. He says
 Yes, it is the climate. not the germs. that we have to fear in this country. The germs are present, to be sure. and are of some significance in diagnosis. Climate. changeabla climate. is the true cause of disease. The atmospheric pressure varies. the humidity of the atmosphere changes. Every day the temperature rises and falls. All this presents to the body very great trials to adjust to-
 The area of high pressure forms tn the northwest. Moves rapidly south east. subjecting millions of our population to it's influence. The re- suit is. thousands upon thousands Of people catch cold. A small per cent of these thousands do not get well Of their cold. It goes into pneumonia. or chronic catarrh. or bronchitis, or laryngitis, or pleurisy.
 Now, what I am getting at is this. These climatic changes are inevitable. No one can prevent them. The very best we can do is to prepare for them, defend ourselves against them.
 Good health is the best preventive The very best. Vigorous health. with excess vitality, this is Natures own preventive and protection.
 We do not all have this, however. Some of us must have assistance, The assistance that I use for myself, would recommend for my friends to use. my neighbors and my country men, is Pe-ru-na. Keep Pe-ru-na in the house.
 If the children indicate they ara catching cold. give them Pe-ru-na.
 If the parents, the grandfather or grandmother, present those symptoms that are so we'll known which precece a cold. a few doses of Pe-ru-na and the deed is done.
 Some people are very subject 70 colds. Others who have weak lungs and are timid about our winter weather, take Pe-ru-na off and on during the whole winter season. The plan is a good one. The medicine is inexpensive. It does no possible harm to the system. 1t keeps the appetite regular and keen. It as~ sists digestion and helps the user through the indictment weather of winter.

DESCRIBES PURPOSE
 OF THE BOY SCOUTS
ORIGIN AND IDEALS OF A RAPIDLY GROWING
 ORGANIZATION
(Contributed.)

Like many other things showing permanence and power, the scout movement can be traced back to widely separate sources. In America there have been number of organi- zations, methods, plans and princi- pies that have proven helpful to boys
 In Great Britian Lieut. Gen. Sir Robert s. S. Baden-Powell became the organizing genius who took freely, as he himself says, the idea and meth ods of American workers and com pacted them together with his own conception of the scout scheme. He did this so successfully that the move ment has already become worldwide. However, it has been left to the Unit ed States to show what the system of scouting can accomplish when it re- turns to the land in which the larger number of it's working ideas and prin- ciples originated. The emphasis and ideals of the movement belong here tiioo 1o ItiC hiSilCSC Pidic-IildL LII cl- ficient citizenship, service and charac- ter-building. The movement brings the boys of our towns and cities to- gether in patrols and troops, and seeks to cultivate in them courage, loyalty, patriotism, fellowship, self control, courtesy, kindness to animals, usefulness, cheerfulness, cleanliness, thrift, purity, and honor. It believes that with such training American boys will, as men, be leaders in prog ress, peace and all things right and good. It is not the purpose of the movement to supplant any other or
 gainzation for good put to assist every other movement for the good of boys
 As an organization the scout move ment is neither military in thought
 form or spirit, although it does in- stil in boys the military virtues, hon. or, loyalty, obedience, and patrio- tism. The uniform, the patrol, the troop, and the drill are not for mill
