BOYS DIE OF ANTHRAX

Houston NeSmith, son of Bud NeSmith, died at Bald Knob Sunday of anthrax. He had been bathing about mile south of town in a pond where stock is Watered. As the dis ease has been rife among the stock in that vicinity for some time, it is thought that he con tracted the disease there. A ne- gro boy died with anthrax at the same place several days ago, but it was not definitely decided that he had anthrax until the death of the white boy with the same symptoms established the fact.

SOMETHING FOR NEWARK TO THINK ABOUT

The following editorial from Farm and Ranch applies so forcibly to Newark and this community that we hope every business man and farmer will read and let 1t sink in deep.
 The small town or city that affords q desirable market for crops, livestocks, fruits and vegetables has solved the prob lem of keeping money at home. It is only necessary then tokeep staple trademarked, advertised goods that sell at the least cost, the prices of which are practically the same every where.
 Farmers cannot trade till they sel their products forcash. They cannot employ legal ser vices, patronize the business men of the town, unless the town wants the trade of the farmers bad enough to buy the food products raised at home and sell as cheap as business men of the towns and cities. Business men that buy potatoes canned fruits. butter, eggs, etc, from other and distant markets when farmers near by have an abundance have no claims on local trade.
 Why not get together2Fa mers are in business producing and selling food product, mer- chants and other business men are in business to supply far mers what they do notproduee. To patronize each other is of mutual benefit, to refuse when each sells at market prices means an economic loss.
 Every dollar made on the farm is a dollar more for legiti- mate business and every dol lars worth of goods sold in the town is a dollar more for pro- ducts which farmers raise. Co., operation builds both town and country. Lack of it may in- iure both and build up otherlo- calities.

BOY LOSES LIFE TRYING TO
SAVE HIS PLAYMATE .


Each year the records in the coron-
er's office show a list of boys who
give up their lives in attempts to res
cue their friends from death.
Yesterday Brandon McEIale, IA,
6749 Latin st., gave up his life for a
friend. Martin Hogan, II, was steal
ing a ride in a boat kept in the lagoon
at Marquette park for the recovery of
golf balls. ROxie Xacd, an attendant,
shouted at the boys to Get out of
that boat" Hogan did. He jumped
into the water. It was over his head
and his two playmates looked at his
cOnvulsiVe struggles helplessly.
McHale, who was on shore, waded
and swan to the place where Hogan
went down. He dived. A minute later
some bubbles came to the surface.
The boys in the boat screamed.
The bodies were recovered locked
together an hour later. Oxygen ma
chimes failed to revive them.

know that the act of breathing is in.

Gus system. We need but to recall the
difficulty that nOn-smokers have when
confined in smoke-laden rooms to know
that the act of breathing is influenced
from without. Difficult breathing does
not occur when the lungs get a plenty
of oxygen. When the lungs are unable
to get their supply of oxygen the blood
suffers in like manner. The respiratory
center Of the brain is stimulated to
action by the condition of the blood
circulating through it. Hostile smoke,
gases or fumes cause certain deleteri-
Gus blood changes which inhibit the
action Of the nerves and center con-
trolling the process of breathing. Nor
mally expired air is warmer than in
spired air; breathing warmed air IS
dangerous because it retards the nor
NAL gaseous interchange in the lungs
and devitalizes the blood. Then where

THE LUNGS.

The lungs are two large pinkish,
spongy organs surrounding the heart
and the large blood vessels and filing
up the rest of the chest cavity or en-
closure. The lung tissue is so light
that a piece of a lung, unlike that of
any other structure of the body will
float in water. The right lung occupies
the right side of the chest and the left
lung occupies the left side of the chest.
The right lung has three lobes and is
the larger of the two; the left lung
has only two lobes. Each lobe is COM
posed of smaller parts called lObules,
which is a terminus for the air pas
sages and capillary blood vessels. Each
lung is covered with a smooth delicate
lining which also lines the chest and
it is called the pleura.
Nature has made abundant prepare
tons to protect the delicate lungs and
their accessory air passages and arteri-
oles. The inside. walls of the traehea
or windpipe and bronchial tubes are
lined with a mucous membrane which
secretes a thick, sticky fluid, called
mucous" to keep the passages moist.
The mucous membrane is covered with
microscopic, threadlike processes, called
abroad AK 7-3O Ollerenshaw
Celia" which act like busters to aid
nature to keep the air passages neat
and clean. Through the air passages
the air travels to the innermost reeesses
of the bronehioles, the air saes, there
the oxygen of the air finds its way to
make an exchange with the coz of the
blood. Thus by the process of breath
ing the blood gains the Hfe-giving prin-
eiple called oxygen and loses that dan
gerous gas called carbon dioxide, rep
resented by the symbol coz. b..
The blood laden with oxygen travels
to the left side of the heart and is
pumped out through the arteries to all
the tissues of the body. The tissues
take up the life-giving oxygen and give
up carbon dioxide to the blood. The
oxygen is often stored up by the It's
sues to be used later when needed by
the body economy. During severe ex-
ereise the muscles use up the oxygen
which has been stored in their tissues
