One of the Dayton Heroes

Among the heroes of the Dayton
food there is NJ. B. Stohl, an employe
of!fhe American Telegraph and Tele-
phone company.
Stoh1 is a wire chief at Dayton.
He reached the Dayton Office of his
company late Monday night before
the foods came The rush of the
waters put all the telephone batteries
and power out of commission. For
getting thoughts of escape. Stohl rum
aged around until he found line
mans test set. With this he rigged
up sending and receiving apparatus
and cut in upon the wire on the roof
of the four-story building. This wire
connected him with Phoneton, a test
ing station, eight miles away. Thus
he established communication with
G.. D. Williamson, whose batteries
were still working.
Then Stohl sent messages from the
flooded city, otherwise cut off from
communication with the outside
world. All night he stuck to his post.
All day Tuesday he remained. We'd
nesday noon found him still on the
roof of building whose foundations
were being sapped by the waters.
There he stayed in the rain and
cold, with the prospect of death star
ing him in the face every moment.
He sobbed a strong mans job as he
told his tale of death and desolation;
of floating wreckage bearing men, wo-
men and children doomed to death;
of dead bodies borne upon the crest
of the waters; of piteous sights, IN
themselves enough to unnerve the
bravest of men. But he stuck to his
post.
When the whole story of terrible
disaster is told, whether he survive
or perish, the name of NJ. B. Stoh1
will stand high upon the roll of he
roes. 1t is such examples as these
that reassure the world and demon

Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, July 14.-Most of the
farmers have practically gotten
through working some parts of their
crops. King cotton and late pieces Of
corn is about all they have to contend
with at this season of the year. Big
meetings, picnics, and flsh-fries are
booked for amusements until fodder
pulling and cotton picking time. The
corn crops, where properly worked
and fertilized, are promising, and the
farms bid fair to give farmers bet
ter yield per acre and many more
acres than last year. The cotton crop
is not as good as most farmers think,
as it is late and stands Irregular.
Could not get crop up, and too much
cool weather for the plant after it
came up.
The game warden should watch up
the streams very close now in order
to save the little fish in our streams.
Went in Little Saltkeatchie swamp at
Carter's Ford crossing last week to
try the fish with hook and line. The
water is low, and in holes fish gather
to the deep holes to hide. Some
party or parties use dynamite in the
holes and kill the fish. This way OF
fishing is not legal and should be
stopped or our streams will soon be
empty so far as fish is concerned.
AS many as three or four dynamite
sticks are thrown in holes in that
portion of the swamp until the fish
are exhausted.
Some of our roads are getting so
dry and sandy until our automobiles
shun them all they can.
Mr.. G. L. Bishop, who has been Ill
for quite a while, died Saturday and
was buried Sunday afternoon at
Pleasant Hill cemetery beside his

Two sons and one daughter and

are left behind to mourn and see that
his grave is kept clean. Uncle Law

The Value Of Pictures.

Question: What makes a picture
valuable? Answer: An excessive
amount of money in the pocket OF a
purchaser.
This newest 100000 Rembrandt
is the same picture that sold for slO6
while Ben Franklin was editing a
Philadelphia newspaper, says The
PHILADELPHIA Ledger. Time has not
improved it any more than years
would add luster to a diamond. Can
vas and colors and every line and
shade were there then they are now.
Why has it become so enormously
valuable? Because in the time when
the picture was first sold, in 1884,
no Dutchman nor anybody else had
100000 to pay for painting. Now
hundreds of people appear to have 1t
and are willing to spend it.
If the multiplication of gold contln-
ues in the next 100 years to cheaper
things as rapidly as in the last CEN
tury the papers of June, 2013, may
record the sale of this identical Rem
brandt for a thousand times its pres
ent figure. You see, it isn't the pic
ture that changes, but only the guam
tity of money to be expended for such
things.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.
It Causes Hardening of the Arterie,
and Other Grave Troubles.

II Causes Hardening of the Arteries
and Other Grave Troubles.
Physicians have always studied the
| pulse, because it gives valuable infor
nation concerning the body's condi
ton of health or disease. But it is
only recently that they have begun to
use the term 'sblood pressure fire.
quently and to regard the amount of
that pressure as Of great Importance.
That Is because they now have instru-
ments for accurately measuring the
pressure, which previously they could
only estimate by feeling the pulse.
Blood pressure or the degree of ten
sion OF the blood current within the
arteries Is chiefly significant because
permanent increase in it is quite
sure to be followed in time by harden
Ing of the arteries and by the degener-
alton or disease of important organs,
especially the kidneys.
The blood pressure is increased bv
number Of causes that increase the
force of the heart beat or that con-
tract the smaller blood vessels. ANY
exc1tement-anger, joy, fear. nervous
ness"-raises it temporarily. But that
Is of little Importance unless the emo
ton is frequently repeated or unless
the person already has diseased arte-
ries. The blood pressure that is per-
manently high is more serious. That
comes from long continued mental ex.
c1tement, such as worry, business anx-
1ety or political strife or from the ac-
ton of certain poisons that are formed
In the system and not properly ex-
creted.
These poisons come from the waste
products of digestion, especially in
large meat eaters. They raise the
blood pressure by causing the smaller
arteries to contract.
In small amounts these poisons are
excreted at once, but in persons who
eat large quantities Of meat. especially
Of beef and mutton-poultry and fish
are less harmful-they are sometimes
formed In amounts so large that the
kidneys cannot dispose of them prompt
~. When this happens, especially if it
occurs In person who Is under a con-
slant mental strain, like the politician,
the flnancier or the chronic worrier,
there Is grave danger Of a permanent
ly high blood pressure and. following
that, Of hardening Of the arteries and
of kidney disease. mental disturbance
or apoplexy.
II you must worry be a vegetarian;
If you must eat meat do so only once
day or, better still. every other day.
