Water Believed TO Be Source Of
PellaGara

Two Italian scientists, of the
institute of Hygiene in Rome,
who have been making a thor.
ough study Of pellagra for sever
al years, have recently issued
statements declaring that the
disease does not come from de
caye corn, or corn potomain,
as is generally believed, but that
it comes from drinking infested
water, or water, or water which
contains flint stones in collodial
solution. The cure of the dis
ease is to avoid the infected wa
ter, or clear it Of the infection.
The latter is easily done by put
ting into it a quantity of carbon
ated chalk. The italian author
tiles are preparing to proceed
with thorough examination Of
all the waters of the infected
districts, and if the experiments
of the two scientists prove COR
rect, one of the most beautiful
districts of Italy will be rio of
the plague. More money per-
haps has been spent in Italy for
the protection and care of pella =
gra victims than for those of any
other disease, while the doctors
searching for its cause has as
cribed it to poverty and result
ing unsanitaIy conditions and
the consumption of bad maize.
Notwithstanding the better eco
nomlcal conditions of the peas
ants of the north of Italy and the
careful examination of all the
maize eaten, the disease has in
creased. until in Italy there are
about $4,000 cases annually.
The discovery of way TO pre-
vent and cure the disease would
also have important results in
America. No definite figures
as to the number of pellagra
cases there are each year in this
country have been secured. but
the estimate runs high into the
thousands. The progress of the
disease in the United States, has
for several years caused grave
concern, especially in the South
where the disease il far more
prevalent than in any other sec
tion. Christian Observer.

GOOD ROADS
Let Everybody Get Together and
Bald the Read From 1exsrkana
10 Marshall.

Queen City, Tex. Aug. 6, 1915
To The Jimplecute Jefferson
Texas.
Dear Ward:-knowing that you
are a Progressive Democrat and
knowing all progressives, OF
whatever political persuasion,
are advocates of good roads.
Now as Jake VOTERS and Gov
Colquitt have split the blanke,
and parted roads; one going to
run for the U. S. Senate or Gov
eenor for the 3rd term, the other
to attend strictly to his own job,
cuts no figure with US Good
roads should be the all absorb
ing question with the people be
tween Texarkana and Marshall
Why from Texarkana to Marsh.
all? Because public highways
are being built FIR ON Memphis
through Arkansas to Texarkana
and on west with the Transconti-
metal r. r. to GAINESVILLE. Paris
and Dallas, and from the east,
the Atlantic coast to Vicksburg,
Shreveport, Marshall and on to
Dallas. AS we are between these
two highways, in the forks OF
the creek, as it were, unknown
to the outside world and will re-
main so, if we don't get out OF
the ashes and do something.
My suggestion is that We or.
ganize for this special piece OF
read, in each town on the pro.
posed line, Texarkana, Queen
City, Atlanta, Biyins, Bancker,
Kildare, Lodi, Jefferson, Wood
lawn, and Marshall, appoint com
mittees at each place, these
committees to meet at some con
venient point, say, Atlanta or
Jefferson, to discuss ways and
means by which this road shall
be built, if built at all, can fol
low the old line ferry and Jeffer-
son road almost all the way
from Queen City to Jefferson.
We have the assurance from
the commissioners of Cass coun-
ty and also from Bowie county
that steel bridge will be put
over Sulphur River as soon
as the road is finished up to the
river on both sides. The work
is now being graded from Queen
City to Sulphur River has been
graded from Queen City to At
anita.
Now the question is shall, we
have this good road or shall we
not? 1t requires a little work
beside a good deal of talk to get
good roads. We have had lots
of talk, now let us have a little
work.
Now, if this proposition meets
with yor appreciation and fancy
and you are willing to give a
few dollars worth of odd matter
and 2 days work on this road,
you can ask all other papers on
the line and at each end of the
line to copy or say what they
think best for the project,

FROM GUSHER CITY
Dear Jimplecute:

Dear Jimplecute:
No doubt that the name OF
Gusher City is unfamiliar to you
and yonr readers, but we hope
that from this time forward you
will become to know the little
town better and that the name
will be appropriate and that
Gusher City will be a Gusher
City in name and deed.
The city proper is about 20
miles Northeast from Jefferson
and few miles from the thriv-
ing little town of Smithland and
in the near future stands a
chance to make Smithland take
a back seat, being near the
juncture of James Bayou and
Frazior Creek, it stands chance
to become the head of navigation
Tin time of high water) andSmith-
land can never hope to grow as
great as that. The present town
covers about 100 acres and is
very thickly populated and set
ted by blue jack and bull net
ties. F" The streets are lighted
with natural gas from Halls
Branch, so we are told, for the
gas works were out of com mis-,
sion when we were there, but
for our convenience the mosqui-
toes carried lanterns, which
ripples smoothly along just east
of Rosser Hotel.
Last week a crowd Of sturdy
pioneers took the slow train
preston Rosser's mule wagon
through Arkansas and Proceed
ed to blaze the the trail to the
celebrated little Gusher City,
which was not in existence at
shat time. After hours and
hours of very tedious travelling,
they arrived at the beautiful
little spring, called Whatley
Spring, in honor of the Right
Hohorabl Ed Whatley, the dis
coverer. Here the corner stone
of Rosser Hotel was laid. The
corner stone was crooked tent
pole cut by Charlie Hutchins.
In short time the Hotel was
built and the work Of cleanig a
camp ground begun.
W Il Williams was unanimous
ly elected camp cook, with Joe
Hartzo coffee maker; and let me
tell you, Joe is good one. He
puts enough coffee in the pot to
last week at time and the long
er you use it the better it gets,
and at the end of the week it
will be just about right to drink
Everything went along smooth
ly in the new hotel until after all
had retired, then Bob Rosser
became frightened at a water
melon which bounced over into
his bunk. Aboutthis time Frank
Rosser had to go to the spring,
and, Of course, was barefooted,
and the light accidently went
out, and poor Frank was lost in
strange city where there were
coolies of snakes to keep him
company.
The cook had to get up and
make up his bunk, which he did
with his Ratchet. Some one of
fcored to lend him grubbing
hoe if he wanted it to dig up
some of the roots. The offer was
declined with thanks.
The night was lovely. We
could see it through the ventil-
ators, and the mosquitoes were
most accommodating. They car
ried their little lanterns around
as long as we wanted to stay
awake and look at the beautiful
scenery.
There was an Owl Concert
about 1890, and the last thing
that we remember that night was
hearing the Owl Quartet singing
Home Sweet Home and the
chug, chug, of the gas pumps at
Old Monterey.
If this is not too long, and you
will print it, we will write again.
