LATEST MAN FOUND
A Case Where Everybody Works But
Father.

Frank Snyder, city commissioner of
streets, claims to have encountered the
champion lazy man.
He came along when large tree,
which had blown down, was being re-
moved from the street." Snyder re-
lates. with him was an understood
tweIve-year- boy"
Mister, can L have that tree?" he
inquired.
'.Sure, you can have it for getting
it out of the way Snyder informed
him. a..
Instead of getting a saw and divid-
ing the trunk into pieces which could
be split, he began carrying away the
small branches which had broken
loose when the tree fell, and he had
his little son carry the big, heavy
ends of the limbs, while he carried the
lighter ends.
Il told him he should be ashamed
to make the little boy do the heavy
work, and he told me the boy should
be glad he had a father who would
help him. says Snyder. THE fellow
told me he did not want the trunk
of the tree at all. IF 1 take the
small limbs home. my wife can chop
them into stove wood, but 1 have no
use for the big trunk. It's too big.
L can't carry it home, and my wife
can not saw it in two, and 1 will not
do it :"

FOOD TO NEWPORT
Aid by Rail and Boat to Arkan-
SaS Flood Victims.
People Still Kept on Second
Floors by High Water.

Little Rock. Ark, Aug. 25.-FOod
and money will be sent from Little
Rock to aid the flood refugees at New
port who still are living on the second
floors OF their homes as the result of
the recent rise in White river. A car
load of canned goods and bread left
Little Rock yesterday afternoon. Iron
Mountain officials said the train could
proceed only to Bra afford where it is
expected Newport citizens will meet
the train with boats and transport the
food the remainder of the distance.
Reports from Newport today indi-
cate conditions are unchanged. Resi-
dents of Newport fear floods in the
upper White river near Springfield,
may cause a further rise at Newport
within the next two days.
The streets of Newport are covered
with water varying in depth from
three to twelve eject. The sewerage
system has been destroyed, the water,
electric light and gas plants are out
of commission, and railroad commu-
nication with the outside world still
is cut off.
Reports at noon from Newport stat
ed that train service with points
north had been resumed. Fifteen
hundred rations from Little Rock
reached Newport today. A statewide
appeal for aid has been issued.
Governor George w. Hays today de-
tailed two squads of state militia to
report to Newport officials at once
with large quantities of tents and
blankets for the use of the sufferers.

A PHTHISIS CURE
Plague Treated by Chemical
Means. Not SerumS.
French PHYSICIANS Announce
ment Stirs Paris Doctors.

Paris, Aug. 25.-Dr. Louis Renon, a
physician connected with the Necker
hospital and a MEMBER of the medical
faculty of the University of Paris, has
announced to the Therapeutic society
that he is ready to prove that tuber-
culosis, contrary to the generally ac-
cepted theory, must be treated by
chemical means and not by serums.
His paper caused considerable stir in
medical circles. where it is claimed he
has opened new path in the cure of
the white plague.
DR.. Renon says his endeavors have
been directed toward finding a sub
stance which will kill bacilli in an
animal without injuring the elements
of that organization. AS a beginning
he established list of antiseptics
which arrest the development of
bacilli in cultures. He also found
substances with which bacilli cannot
develop. These, he said. are potas-
SUM, sulphur, phosphates, iron and
magnesium.
Thus he claims therapeutic action
can be obtained by adding certain
substances to an animal organism and
also by withdrawing by means of die
tary other substances necessary to the
growth of bacilIi.

keep his office open only three days
in the week and limit his compensa-

w. E. Atchison, county attorney, from
a vacation trip. Robert d. Carver,
assistant county attorney, today made
formal application for the opinions in
a letter to s. y. Hawkes., assistant at
torney general.
The request for the opinions which
is made by Carver at the requests OF
Hugh MacFarland, probate judge, and
j. A. Campbell, county surveyor, Is
regarded as back explosion from

upon sweeping economy moves to
cover a $1,000 deficit in county
finances.

..This office as been asked for
opinions constituting section p, chap
ter 1917. of the fee and salary law OF

OF 1913, to order the county surveyor
to keep his office open only three days

.'InaSmuch as this office is alSO al
fected by orders of the county com

the county attorney and his assistants
materially reduced, we feel some hes

disinterested in the matter. TO give us
an opinion covering the points re-
ferred to us.

he has prepared in reply to the speech
before the reichstag last week of the
German chancellor, DIR. Won Beth

The German chancellor was quoted
as having told the reichstag that Sir

about to depart at the beginning OF
the war, that it might be possible for
England at the conclusion of peace,
to render more valuable services to
Germany than would have been the
case had England remained neutral.

EMERGENCY KIT
The City Has Purchased One for
Police Headquarters.

Owing to the present lack of such
facilities, a medical and surgery emer-
gency kit will be installed at the city
Jail The emergency kit, consisting of
instruments, medicine and numerous
other articles, was purchased under
the supervision of DR.. c. c. Luu,
county physician, by the city.
The kit will be placed under the
care of the jailer. The move will
add to the efficiency in treating emer-
gency cases "a great DEAL says DR..
LulI. Every time a call is turned in
from the station it means quick work
and many times in the past the physi-
clan called has arrived on the scene
without proper equipment"
IL the absence of a city physician
to do the work at the station, DR.. Lull
continues to give his services, gratis,
so far as has been ascertained. At
any rate he has received no payment
from either county or city for his
time. However, the city is paying for
the emergency equipment.

IT LEADS The STATE
MaHkatO Has More Registered Ba-
bies Than Any Other Town.

Mankato. Kan, leads the state in
registered babies. Today forty GER
tificates of health were sent to as
many babies in Mankato by the di
vision of child hygiene of the state
board of health. The babies were eX-
amined and rated according to the
score card of the American Medical
association. There are 10000 babies
born every year in Kansas and it is
the plan of the child hygiene depart
ment to have every one of these ba bies
registered if il is possible.
The babies will not be able to col
lect any insurance upon their certfi-
Gates but those who keep up with the
procession and have their certifica ties
renewed each year will know where
they stand in a health way.
The Jewell w. c. T. L. held a meet
ing last week at Mankato and started
the babies on the proper health ca
reer. 1t does not cost the parents
anything to have the babies registered.

snake had crawled back on the log
and had curled up over the section
which had been severed, placing his
wound so that the disconnected piece
could grow back where it belonged"
That's nothing replied Prof. Frank
Snow, instructor in Industrious
Journalism at the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college. Il saw hoop snake
swallow a pan of condensed milk in
Rhodesia. South Africa. The snake
then stuck his tail in his mouth and
rolled like a hoop down the main
street. he struck an incline so steep
he skidden against a white way pole
and had a blow OUT and there on
the walk beside the punctured re-
mains we picked up a pan of butter"
