 Number of Paupers OVerestimated.
 Private charity for the relief of sufferers is extensive, and too great praise cannot be accorded the people of the southwest for the assistance rendered, but the public charity dis pensed has been little enough. and not q at all commensurate with the benefits derived from the coming health seekers. In one instance the exact annual per capita cost to the tax payers was found to be cents whereas the city derived untold bene- fit from the thousands of inva1ids who were able to care for themselves In estimating the extent of poverty, the investigator even went so far as to determine the proportion Of bodies returned to relatives. This varied from 30 per cent at San Antonio to 60 per cent at Albuquerque.
 Health Seekers Warned.
 The Public Health Service warns all prospective health seekers of the difncu1ties they are bound to en- counter, and advises all who are not sufficiently provided with funds to remain at home. No invalid should venture forth unless he has sufficient money to last at least six months. The chances of recovery are greatly lessened when poverty exists.
 Economic Effects of Migration.
 Whether the coming of thousands of consumptives into the arid region has been of benefit to that section is hardly considered a debatab1e ques- tion. The growth of cities has been nd production encouraged, by the invalid class.h Consumptives are engaged in practically every occupation and the business and professi onal- life or many cities is carried on in large part by them. The effects upon wages has probably not been entirely negligible
 Danger in Resort Cities Slight.
 Of particular interest to physicians, as well the public, especially in view of the newer theories regarding the comnunicabi of tuberculosis, are the facts marShalled to show the degree of danger to residents Of the resort cities from the influx of con- sumptives Medical statistics relating to this aspect of the question have been notorfousIy unreliable. Tables are presented which go far toward proving that the degree of communi- cability of the disease, at least to adults, has probably been overesti- mated, and that the dangers to healthy persons are no greater in the resort cities than elsewhere.
 Mexicans Ravaged by Tuberculosis.
 The decimation of the Mexican population of the southwest by tuber- cuIosis is brought to the attention of the public for the first time The author considers that the peons are much less resistant than either ne Goes or Indians, and he paints a pathetic picture of the ravages of

Rtik0 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
PUTS on GOOD SHOW

Pursuant to ITS announcement the
ReYno Athletic Association on
Tuesday night staged another first
class entertainment by way of ten
round sparrlng exhibition between
Hope KID Camel of Success, aud
Otis (Dynamo) Bryant of Sikeston,
Mo. The exhibition was marked
by extreme speed, both boys being
IN fine condition and eager for a de-
oision. Bryant's remarkable foot
work made him extremely hard TO
find at all times, and he contracted
a peculiar habit of stepping in
when least expected and turning
loose a dazzling bombardment, con-
spicuous among which was light.
enihe left jab that seldom failed to
connect with Gamers face. Bryant's
brilliant exhibition left no doubt
in the minds of the large number of
spectators that for cleverness both
in the offensive and defensive spar
ring, he is we'll named Dynamo and
belongs in a 3lass with first raters.
On the other hand Camel was not
found wanting in contributing his
full share to the entertainment.
His magnificent physical makeup,
terrific strength and gameness car
ried him through many a bewllder.
ing exchange, and his aptness to
take and smile at punishment and
come on for more would make
"Battling" Nelson ashamed of him
self. While Camel did not land
as often as Bryant, yet his blows at
all times carried terrific force that
kept his shifty adversary on the
alert. At the close everyone pres
ent was fully satisfied with the draw
decision which was announced.
Another remarkable and praiseworth
feature Of the event was the great
good feeling shown to exist between
these two young men at the close.
1t is evident that each had a deep
admiration for the other and this
aspect was evidenced by the fact that
Bryant is now engaged to tram and
fit Camel for his next ring contest
to take place with Virgil Burrls of
Puxico, at Reyno on June 4th next.
Bryants various contests with Gam
el have led him to make the open
prediction that with proper training
Camel is fit to aspire for champion
ship honors in his class and weight.

COUNTY NORMAL
IS GREAT SUCCESS

4 The normal which is being con-
" ted by Professors 4. K. Hulen
and r. A. Mock at Pocahontas is
7oertainly furnishing very excellent
work for two classes Of teachers
FIRST those who are seeking for bet
ter methods of teaching and second
those who are more interested in a
general review of the text books.
There are 81 pupils enrolled; six
p. II. S. graduates, several public
school graduates and also a few
teachers who are not preparing to
take a test.
Every student seems to be very
much interested and their prompt
meas aud punotuallity are to be com
mended. Much attention is being
given to the formation Of good
habits, because a teacher Is the sum
and total Of all his experiences and
many boys and girls in the rural
schools are going TO take up the
habits Of their teachers whether
they are good or bad.
Various kinds Of games are being
introduced for the benefit of the
public school teachers as well as
for recreation during the normal.
The following are the pupils at
tending: Misses Grace and Agnes
Danford, Della Bowers, Ethel
johnson, Dorcas Douglas, Eta
Lewis, Blanche Jones, Pearl Stub
blefeld, Ruth Finny, Cleo Shaver,
Pearl and Ethel Dunn, Loretta
Holland, Nina Owen, Lucille Carter

Mesdames Mock, James and Chorioe'
and Messrs. Wesley Brown, Arthur
Bennett, Lehman Rice, Herbert
and Marvin Price, Claude Mock,
Burlie Hooton, John Deen, Ostis

Any teacher desiring to be better
prepared to teach school and to pass
an examination should not hesitate
tc investigate this school. There
are three more weeks normal and
