SHIELDS ID ACCEPT ,. t. O. p. NOMINATION Pope Long Says He's a Grand Old Man" and
 a PrOhibitiOnist

Pope NJ. Long, chairman of the state republican executive committed in a statement issued yesterday declares hat Judge John B. Shields will accept the re- publican nomination for governor
 MT. Long says:
 ''In your issue of Saturday, in a news article headed, The Republicans Have q Difficult Task in Landing a Nominee for Governor it is made to appear that Judge J. B. Shields has, or will, refuse the noimnation for governor. This is mis- leading. Judge Shields has just notified me that he will accept the nomination and will make an active campaign so far as his health will permit.
 Your paper has at all times been uni formly fair to our party and l am sure that you will give this letter the slme prominence as was given the interview above referred to.
 Judge Shields is one of Alabama g grand old men and as a member of the legislature from Walker county iutro- duced and passed the first prohibition law ever passed for this county.
 formal entertainments of many kinds will be arranged for the men who will attend this gathering.

Cerebro-Meningitis the
 Subject of Cunningham


 only makes the diagnosis certain. but also differentiates the variety. and that Is puncture of the spinal carral in the small of the back, withdrawal of some or the fluid and it's examination by the uhalded eye and the microscope. This fluid is perfectly clear when normal. In meningitis it is smokey turbi5 blocdy, floculent or contains pus. JTn der the microscope the cellular ele- ncnts are revealed and after staining the particular germ differentiated. This IS particularly true of cerebro-sninaI Iever There is but one germ with Whjch It may be confounded, which is very rare as cause of menin eitis The examination of this fluid. however. may De negative, but this does not absolute ly exclude meningitis. In which case the symptoms and signs must be re- ileo upon. FleXner of the Rockefeller institute has produced a serum of vast value in the treatment of cerebro -spinal lever. It is valueless in other kinds Sir William Osler says: "To Flexner We owe the specific serum which has re- Vcrsed the mortality and recovery rates -one of the most striking advances in modern therapy. It should be given as early as possible in the course and also in doubtful cases" The serum is injected through the needle into the spiEal canal after an equal or greater arlount of fluid Is withdrawn and be- fore the needle is pulled out Hence there should be at hand a dose of the serum. If the spinal fluid contains pus or Is turbid, the serum should be then and there injected. If the microscopic examination subsequently shows the meningococcus the injections should be repeated; if not, then they should be omitted, as the Flexner serum is of NAlnp in fba oil rfa r~f,o remarks on diagnosis and treatment arc submitted because the patient, if rational. and the parents often stren- uously object to spinal puncture-a harmless procedure in competent hands.
 Preservation
 This is extremely difficult for req sons given in its causation. This is true because of the want of definite knowl- edge of all the modes of transmission and further because about 70 per cent of those exposed to the disease become carriers. 1t is not possible, under or dinary conditions. to locate these car riers, who innocently spread the dis ease. Complete isolation with as few attendants as possible for proper nurs- ing. This can only be done in a hos pital. All discharges from nose, throat and respiratory passages and from the kidneys and bowels CD should be de- st'oyeu or uiSiHlecteu. All persons con- l ing in contact with the patient or in tho room should spray the nose and threat with safe antiseptic solutions and this should be continued for some time. There are always a sufficient ! number of carriers to keep the germs alive and under favorable circum- l stances to spread the disease.
 l In the next bulletin infantile pa- ralysis will be discussed.

Cantaloupe shipping is all the rage
now at Zuber. The fine rains lately
are making everything in the crop
| look like prosperity. The corn es-
pecially looks as if it will make good
yield and hog and hominy is the back
bone of any farmer. If he has plenty
of that he can live whether beans and
other crops bring him any money or
not and Florida will not be real Flor
ida until the farmers get to raising
their own products and making the
trucking a side issue instead of truck
ing and buying their provision and
horse feed, for Florida is the grand
est old state in the Union.
The ice cream supper Thursday
evening was a grand success. 1t was
given to raise money to buy furniture
for the church and everybody seemed
to enjoy spending their money.
The Misses Ester and Rachael Boy
er of Boardman came down Thurs
day to be here for the ice cream sup
per and stayed until Saturday with
their cousin, Mrs. Shaw. Venice Shaw
and Miss Minnie Spencer accompan-
led them home and aimed to come
back Saturday night, but the $50
train did not get here until after day
light Sunday morning, so they stayed
at Boardman until Sunday night.
Quite crowd went from Zuber to
Kendrick to hear the converted rab-
BIZ preach. 1t was very much enjoy
ed by all, as he told how he was dis
inherited, and how his people prayed
curses on him when he accepted the
new religion. He went from here to

was kind enough to stay week over

look after Mr.. Brooks while he was
