The Treatment of
Influenza orLa Crime

1t is quite refreshing these days to read of
a clearly defined treatment for Influenza or
La Grippe. In an article in the Lancet
Clinic" DR.. James Bell, of New YORK City,
says he is convinced that too much medica-
ton is both unnecessary and injurious.
When called to Il case OF la grippe, the
patient is usually seen when the fever is
present, as the chill which occasionally
ushers in the disease, has generally passed
away. DR.. Bell then orders that the bowels
be opened freely with salts, "Actoids" or
citrate OF magnesia. For the high fever,
severe headache, pain and general soreness,
one Anti-kamnia Tablet every three hours
Is quickly followed by complete relief.
Ask for AK Tablets. They are also unex-
celled for headache, neuralgia and all pains

OKLAHOMA CITY. April THE
court Of Impeachment in the case Of
4. l.. Welch, insurance commissioner,
today departed from the regular or
der in which the articles were ar
ranged and investigated the charge
Of the ninth article which alleges
that Welch, through his office as
insurance commissioner attempted
to force the American Central Life
Insurance company of indianapolis,
Ind. To purchase certain loans from
him.
Charles B. Woolver, representing
that company. testified concerning
the transaction He said that Welch
with Kelly Roach, the latter then
representing the company in Okla
hOma, sought. to secure a loan from
the American Life company some
time in 1911, for a church Organiza-
ton in Clinton, the loan being $4,000
\ contract for loan was drawn up
and agreed to by the insurance COM
pany. Later, Mr.. WOolver, as attor-
ney for the company thought that
there might be some objection to
completing the loan. He was of the
impression that similar law existed
in Oklahoma as in Pennsylvania in
which such loan might be illegal
because OF the fact that members Of
the congregation of the church i'm
question might be insured by the
same company and the "inducement'
feature might cause the loan to be
held Illegal.
Didn't Make Loans.
This matter was, however, taken up
with the attorney general and all par
ties assured that there was no such
danger here. However, Mr. Woolver
stated that he advised his company
not TO make the loan and they did not

that inasmuch as "A contract had once
been signed, and then the company
concluded not to carry it out, that in
a way they were morally obligated to
do as they finally did.
Woolver said they had never been
favored by Welch after he became in
surance commissioner. He told Of
having come to Oklahoma at one time
to look up other matters with the
company They were having some
trouble with policyholders near
Weatherford. Notes coming due there
were not paid and Woolver took the
matter up with the commissioner. He
said that Welch told him that he
(Welch) would have TO hear both
sides Of the matter. Nothing else was
said concerning this matter in court.
The American Life company did
make some farm loans with the Pur-
cell Bank & Trust Co. while Welch
was connected With that concern, but

they were not inquired into, as these
transactions not questioned. Woolver
said, however, that it seemed that
Welch and Roach thought the COM
pany was making the loans with the
Purcell Bank N Trust Co for the
Clinton church and that the company
took the position they were simply
making farm loans for the bank. This
difference of opinion continued for

Woolver stated that Welch had not
favored his company at any time more
than usual; that he considered it of
an advantage to be on friendly terms
with all insurance commissioners.
Ed Cook, president of the state
National bank, was recalled and
showed amounts running from SO to
$50 a month interest that had been
paid by the State National bank on

 DEMOCRAT.

The School and Civic Club takes this opportunity to thank MT. F. E. Robins, owner and manager of the Log Cabin Democrat, for his generos- ity, patience and courtesy in publish ing this edition of the paper.
 He has been most liberal, receiving nothing for himself except the ex- pense of printing the paper. We deeply appreciate his public spirited ness and the Log Cabin Democrat can always depend upon the School and Civic Club.
 We also desire to thank the Log Cabin force for their cooperation.
 Publicity is indispensable in civic work and we are fortunate indeed to have daily paper which has the best interests of the city at heart, and al ways ready to give space to any mat ter which makes for civic betterment. The Log Cabin Democrat is a good citizen and we are proud of the spirit it shows.
 Again we thank you.

And in return the women of Conway are just as will ing to freely give their aid in every way possible toward making our city and our homes beautiful and attrac- tive, for no real happiness or content ment can prevail without the harmo- nious surroundings of the beautiful.

World Wide War Is Proclaimed
BY Dr. c. w. GARRISON State Healh Officer.

The windows should be screened their entire length as the joint made with the middle sash when the lower half only is screened will surely furnish an opening. At least sixteen mesh | (sixteen strands each way to the jinch) should be used. The anopheles mosquito has the peculiar faculty of dancing over screen and if there is single entrance she will find it in an incredibly short time Houses should be so constructed as to permit plenty of air and sunshine, as they are natures disinfectants.
 Drainage. The question of drain age around Conway is not a difficult one. Every person should be required to keep his or her own premises free from standing water that may become the breeding place for mosquitoes. If water is impounded in a barrel or other receptacle for domestic use, proper screen should be devised to protect it.
 The city fathers are confronted with more difficult task as ditches and low places must be drained. The large ditch parellelling the railroad is most serious menace and insight ly. By all means is should be tiled or storm sewer put in within the next sixty days. There are possibly a few other ditches that would require tiling, but if the weeds and grass are cut out and all fills cleared away, it would not take great deal of super vision to keep them dry.
 Conway has made many substantial improvements and has greatly inn proved civic conditions, but much re- mains to be done. With its various colleges and schools it has already be- come one of the educational centers of the state. One of the greatest as- sets to any city is it's high sanitary and civic standard and low mortal ity and morbidity rate. And there is no city of like size in the state that can more easily possess this asset.
 Remember:
 The home is the unit,
 Cooperation the watch word,
 Achievement the goal.

A Word From
 Mayor Jones

l appreciate very much the ready response to the call and the liberal support given by almost every citizen m the cleanup campaign just closed. Nearly 100 loads of refuse was hauled away by the city wagons and today l believe we can boast of the cleanest little city in Arkansas.
 Mr. Chapman the expert sanitarian, who has done so much work in Texas, Mississippi and Arkansas compliment ed Us highly upon the manner in which our lawns, yards and vacant lots were kept. They were unusually clean He found some dirty places all right, and was equally loud in conforming them as he was in his praise of clean liness.
 Now a word of warning, eternal vigilance. While We are clean and dressed up let us try to stay that way. l am sure that every citizen interest ed in this work and loves to see every thing neat and well kept, but we are so prone to become careless and in- different that we must watch lest we forget our duty along this line.
 The ladies School and Civic League is doing great work for our town and should have every encouragement from you; your city officials are anx- ious to serve your best interest and ask your hearty cooperation; your health officers are devoting much of their time, without pay, for the pre- vention of diseases, and believe the entire citizenship have now set a higher standard for cleanliness and better sanitation. Surely every loyal citizen will join in the movement to make Conway the best and cleanest town in the state of Arkansas.

IMPURE ICE CREAM
 AND CANDIES BY DR. c. H. DICKERsoN, City Health Officer.
BY DR. c.

The question of the purity or i'm purity of any food-stuff, or things eaten in general, whether for actual nourlshment or not is important in so far as it relates to our physical well-being. Candies and ice cream might, and do, contain impurities and adulterations which render them wholly unfit for food and still do not make them unpalatable. Large quan- titles of ice cream are consumed dur ing the summer months and few of us stop to think about the quality of our cream.
 We should be most critical about what we eat. Milk may be contami- mated in many ways. It may come from COW with active tuberculosis. It may be handled by dairyman whose whole family has tuberculosis or typhoid and it could contain thou sands of the germs of either of those diseases and others and still look clean. Taken into the stomach these bacteria have chance to become ac- tive and multiply and it is easy to understand why there is an increase of digestive troubles, especially in children during the hot weather. Our typhoid cases increase right along with our demand for cold drinks and ice cream and many of them result from the ingestion of dirty, infected cream. Our ice cream is sometimes served in unsanitary braces. Recent ly 1 was served some cream in a store that had just been swept and the dust was so heavy it was difficult to breathe. We are too careless about we should demand pure, clean food and drink and not take any other kind.
 The question of candies is also of great importance.
 Much is being done abroad and in this country to prevent the sale of cheap candies. Many convictions have been secured against Ten Cent Stores for adulterated and impure candies and vigorous campaign should be carried on against the sale VI iiiPuiS SaiuieS, eSPeCldlly tO CHll- dren. The coloring for ice cream and candies is often poisonous and posi- lively injurious to the mucous mem- brane of the stomach. Candies often contain dirt and grit and these solid particles may do organic injury to the surface of the stomach or bowels, re- sulting in the formation of ulcers. These may be a source of pain and disturb our digestion for long peri ods of time or they may heal and leave sears which in later years undergo cancerous degenration. So, eating impure foods may result not only in a sever stomach trouble" but it may do destructive and irreparable damage to our tissues.
 Sanitation is cutting down oul deathrate and so long as failing health before old age is as common as it is, we can not be too exacting in our demand about the cleanliness of our food and drink. The grocer or confectioner who will sell a child cheap, poisonous, or adulterated can dy or ice cream ought to be convicted land not allowed to escape by the pay ment of nominal fine.
