o,,isiana Needs More Teachers

At no time has there been
such a scarcity Of qualified pub
lie school, teachers as there is at
present. At the examination
he'd last August, large MAORI
ty of applicants for certificates
failed, leaving many Of our pub
lie schools without teachers.
Several causes may be cited for
these failures. The examina-
tons may have been more rigid
than usual, and the papers were
possibly graded more rigid)y
than was the case in formeryears.
But the main reason, no doubt,
lies in the fact that too many OF
those who took the examination
had failed to pursue proper
courses in the theory and art of
teaching. A six weeks summer
normal course in that subject
does not give the student enough
foundation to enable him to pass
a satisfactory examination.
To make a success of teaching,
professionally and financially,
the teacher should be thoroughly
qualified; and IN order that he
may be properly trained, Louis
lana maintains the State Normal
School at Natchitoches. The
course covers two sessions OF
nine months beyond the high
school and comprises thorough
professional training. The total
necessary expenses per quarter
OF three months, including board,
laundry, fees, books, fuel, light,
heat, and service are only SIS.
or about $1S per month, and a
diploma from the State Normal
school exempts the holder from
teachers examinations. The
catalog of the Normal School
may be had by addressing the
institution.

Avid Sedaiye Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute d.
rectly to the occurrence of capil-
larry bronchitis and pneumonia
use enough medicines that con-
tain iodine, marphine, heroin
and other sedatives when you
have a cough or cold. An expec-
torant like Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is what is needed. That
cleans out the culture beds or
breeding places for the germs of
pneumonia and other germ dis
eases. That is why pneumonia
never results from a cold when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
used. 1t has a world wide repu-
tation for its cures. 1t contains nc
morphine or other sedatives.

Thornhill is Elected.

Tuesdays election was an ex-
tremely tame affair in Caldwell
Parish. The vote was a very
light one, on account of the fact
that there was no opposition.
c. P. ThornhilI, the Democratic
nominee for delegate to the con-
stit0tionaI convention, was elect
ed without opposition, and the
convention received practically
all the votes. There was only
about 100 votes cast in the entire
parish.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an lntlamed
condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closeG
deafness is the result, and I'M
less the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
Caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

but brief space, has been trans
planted to a more congenlal
sphere where trials and tribnla-

angels sing around the throne.
Parents, grieve not, your low

which you were wont to lavish
your earthly affections and adora-
ton now blooms and fourishes
and sheds it's sweet fragrance in
the garden where angels tend.
The Savior has said, Suffer lit
tie children to come unto Me,
and forbid them not, for Of such
is the kingdom of heaven, and
in response to this divine invita-.
ton your little one has bidder
adieu to the trial and troubles Of
this vale of tears and has gone
to that heavenly home made
ready for it by its celestial father
where peace and happiness eter
nally abound. The thought O.
this alone should console you
then, bereaved family and rela

OBITUARY.

The many friends and acquaint-
anees Of Thomas Reynolds were
erie< ed to learn that on August 7,
1912, his sweet spirit waited it's way
across the river of death to the man
SONS of glory.
He was born June IA, 1876, and
died at the age of 81 years, 2 months
and 7 days Bro Reynolds professed
a hope in Christ and joined the Mis-
sionary Baptist church at Bigelow
Ark, in August, 1908, and was or
dained deacon the same year. Later
he moved his membership to Enola,
where he lived a devoted Christian
life up to the time of his death. We
can truly say a good and useful man
Ihas been taken from us. The church
is bereft of one of it's best and most
active members, the community an in
dustrious and good citizen. While we
so much lament the death of Brother
Reynolds, yet We do rejoice that he
has left US the testimony of true
child of God and that we can sweetly
hope to see him again where sickness,
sorrow, pain and death are felt and
feared no more.
To the grief-stricken ones we ex-
tend our deepest sympathy and may
they he comforted, knowing that this
is another link that binds them to
heaven and other loved ones there.
May they all be prepared to meet him
in the mansions above.

Little Roch, September 22.-One
Of the surest ways of preventing the
spread of disease, says Dir. T. B.
Bradford, of tie 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 q
"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

.ure creating a state board of health
for Arkansas has already borne fruit

COUNCIL may SEEK
To PROKIBIT.ShOW

Further steps to discourage the
Sells-Floto circus from playing at
Conway Immediately following the
county fair may be taken by the city
council at its meeting tomorrow
night, it was reported today. AL
though the show will not be permit
ted to exhibit within the city limits,
it is stated that there is a possibility
of an ordinance being passed to as
sess a high tax or license for the use
of the streets by the show, in moving
and unloading their wagons and Civ
ing street parade. 1t is claimed
that such a tax would be justifiable
by reason of the damage likely to be
done to the streets by the heavy show
wagons.
Tuesday nights meeting will be
one of the most important the coun-
ell has held in many weeks. Three
ordinances introduced at the last
meeting, the location of-the septic
disposal tank for the sewer system
and a petition asking for relief from
the increased telephone rates are
among the more important matters
which will come before the council.

Lee H. O'Daniel, aged 27 years,
died yesterday at noon of heart fail
ure, after an illness of only few
hours. He was employed as barber
lat Philip Yaeger's shop and worked
Saturday, as usual. Several times
during the day he told friends he was
feeling exceptionally well, and left
the shop about ~ O'Clock Saturday
night apparently in the best of
health. Before going home, however,
he went to restaurant and ate sup
per. Persons who saw him after
wards, while on his way home, state
he seemed to be shivering, but think
ing there was nothing seriously all
ing him, paid but little attention to it.
He walked down the railroad track
until he reached the crossing near
the light plant, when he fell to the
ground He was carried into the en-
CINE room, where he lay down on the
floor until physician was summoned,
when he was taken home. He soon

mac merry in motion to better The
re- n conditions in the state.
Knowing that lax sanitary precau-
tiaas ere the cause Of much disease
and misery and the result of igno-
-;nce on the pert of the people, plan
ave been promulgated to reach the
people directly and teach them by
lectures and visible methods of bet
t-ring living condit ons. The success
c. the demonstrating cars in agricul-
tural lines has led to the value of a
health ear. 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 a member
of the Rockefeller Sanitary Commits
ICE Dr.. Bradford lively interest is
being awakened in this movement
throughout the state. The citizens
are Offering their financial aid so en-
Enthusiastically that the car will be an
assured success within a short time.
1t 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
outbuiidings and inside necessities,
showing the insanitaly methods used
at present in most Of the homes of
the state, showing models of sanitary
and insanita1y 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
corps of men trained in public health
and sanitary science, who will give
lectures on methods of preventing
communicable diseases. 1t is the in
tention, when this car is equipped to
send it into every county in the state
where there is railroad, doing mis-
sionary work, lettering the health
and making more comfortable the in
habitants.
1t 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 teen conceived.
The doctors plan for the construc-
ton of the health car is unique in
that it is the first one to be built
through popular subscription. He
thinks to interest 100 philanthropic
people in the state of Arkansas will
at once give tangible working
basis as scould be gotten no other
way. One hundred men and women
will have the opportunity to take 81
stock in this iaudable enterprise for
five years.
Letters received from every county
in the state have convinced the pro-
moter of this car that the work is
easy. The doctor is devoting his en-
tire attention to health work in the
state, and has canvassed great
many of the counties already in the
interest of health matters. The peo-
pie of Arkansas are at present TAX
ING more interest in Kidding the state
of malaria, typhoid and tuberculosis,

infections than at any time in its his

the press have been received by the
