HIGH WAGES CHECKS DISEASE


WASHINGTON.-"Pay the worker
more and he will live better, and his
family will escape much of the dan
ger from disease" said Surgeon Gen
eral Gorgas of the United States army
in an address to churchmen in this
city.
IN the treatment of tropical dis
eases" he said, poverty must always
be considered as one of the most i'm
portant evils to be eradicated. Doub-
ling the wages of workmen in Havana
raised them from their former i'm
pecunious state and enabled them to
live more sanitary than before"
General Gorgas reviewed the work
of his Is years spent in the tropics;
he told how he and his coworkers
eradicated the mosquitoes from the
canal zone; and how before that he
had directed the scientific work that
made the city Of Havana a place in
which to live instead Of one in which
to die
Great sanitation is possible only
where one is able to make the people
understand the necessity of right liv-
ing" he said In my experience I
have found that a higher rate of pay
is the most effective way Of alleviat-
ing their former condition"

HIGHER COST OF BIBLES.
Thin Paper So Expensive, Price is
Shortly To Be Raised.

According to William Foulke of New
York, treasurer of the American Bible
society, the present shortage of thin
paper has literally doubled the cost of
Bibles, says the New York Evening
Post. Paper which last February
brought four and a half cents is now
selling at ten and half cents and even
at this price only very limited amount
can be obtained. Orders placed last
February are still outstanding.
William Thomson, president of
Thomas Nelson & Son, in discussing
the paper situation, claims that as vet
there has been no curtailment in the
output of their Bibles.
However, = he admitted, we shall
shortly be obliged to raise the price.
Under the present demand, the mills
are unable to furnish enough sixty
pound paper, which can be made as
eheaply as the thirty pound variety,
but commands double the price. Conse-
quentlv, only one mill is turning out
paper only thirty pounds to the ream,
and in place of six cents we are paving
that mill fourteen cents per pound. But
even at this rate our orders now stand
ing may remain untitled

. Pastor Russell was one of the
most interesting personalities in the re-
ligious field. While holding at the
same time the pastorates Of the Brook
Ign and London Tabernacles he trav-
eled each year many thousands of
miles i'll a special train with so per-
sonal secretaries to look after his ma
and was said to preach to the larges
congregations in the world, his sermons
being printed weekly in LOO newspa-
pers.
The distinction was also given him bv
his friends that he had written a book
about the Bible which was only sur
passed IN circulation by the Bible it
self, having run into the fourth million
mark at the time of his death.
He entered the independent ministry
in Pittsburg at the age of 26. He al.
ways dlsclalms being the founder of
any religious sect and declared that
his chief message was to interpret the
punishment of the Bible as eternal truth
and not eternal torture.
PASTOR Russell was one of the
first religious speakers to make use of
motion pictures and for several years
he toured the country with an elabo-
rate perturbation of the beginning of
the world, called Creation" which
he showed at free exhibitions.
The possessor of private fortune
he refused to speak at gatherings
where an admission was charged and
his tours were supported by private
contribution. In 1879, he married
Miss Marie Frances and was the faith
er Of two daughters, Mahlen Russell
and Salena Ackerley Russell.

MEDALS OF HONOR
FOR TWO MARINES
Sergeant Winans and Corporal CLOWN
Win Distinction by Action in Do
minican Battle.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-First Ser
Seant Roswell Winans and Corporal
Joseph A. CLOWN of the marine corps
have been commended by Acting Sec
rotary Roosevelt of the navy, awarded
medals of honor, and 800 in cash for
extraordinary valor displayed during
the battle of Guayacanes in the Do
minican republic July 3. The following
account of the incident was made pub
lie yesterday at the navy department:
1.-The reports show that July 3, 1916,
the 2Sth company of marines was en-
gagged with the Dominican armed
forces at the battle of Guayacanes.
During running fight of l,200 yards
our forces reached the enemies in
trenchments and Corporal CLOWN
placed the machine gun of which he
had charge behind large log across
the road and Immediately opened fire
on the trenches. He was struck once,
but continued firing his gun. A mo-
ment later he was again struck and
had to be dragged out of the position
INTO cover.
Sergeant Winans then arrived with
a Colt gun, which he placed in a most
exposed position, cody opened fire on
the trenches, and when the gun
jammed, stood up and repaired it under
fire. All the time CLOWN and Winans
were handling their guns they were
exposed to very heavy fire which
was striking into the logs around the
men, seven men being wounded and
one killed within 90 feet. Sergeant
Winans continued firing his gun until
the enemy had abandoned the
trenches

standing, the jury returned verdict of
not guilty by reason of insanity at the
time of the shooting and we shall not
permit him to be at large until satisfied
that this condition of the mind will not
return.
eve clearly instructed the jury that
irresistible impulse or emotional insan-
ity alone was not an excuse for the JUS
LITIGATION of crime unless it was the
product of a diseased mind. Now, then.
either the jury followed instructions and
found that this man s mind was diseased
at the time of the shooting, or else the
jury went contrary to instructions and
the verdict should be set aside. We
have, therefore, decided not to release
Duncan without an examination.

INITIALS ON NEW DIMES.
Treasury Officials Considering Whether
Monogram Is Advertising.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l. = Treasury
officials are considering whether the
initials of the designer of the new dime
put in circulation for the first time shall
be eliminated and coinage suspended
temporarily as was done in the case of
the original Lincoln one-cent piece. On
the face of the dime the initials of the
artist, A. Weiman, appear prominently
IN monogram. When the Lincoln cent
piece was first coined it bore I'M
obstrusively on the base of the bust
small initials of the artist While there
is no law governing the question the
treasury department ordered the letters
off under its ruling that no advertise
ment shall appear upon any coin.
The new dimes were in demand at
the treasury department, but applicants
received only a dollar S worth each. In
all $4,000 in the new coins have been
minted.

TRIBUTE TO MOTHERHOOD.
Sitter Man Pays Eloquent Eulogy to
Revered Memory.

All, the Mother, What world of
meaning in that little word! The first
one that he learned to lisp. The word
that draws all things, animate or in
animate, to itself, whether on the noun
tain top, or in the lowly valley, beside
the babbling brook or on the shores
OF the mighty ocean, among the birds
OF the air, the beasts of the fields or
the creeping reptiles, all cling to her.
Without her nothing could exist.
All would be a nonentity, the world
a barren waste and the Creator would
blush as He looked upon His imperfect
work. She stands alone as the highest
and hottest type untold ages have
evolved, the ideal of her eoarser broth
er, man.
Ny Mother, blessings on her mem
DRY! A loving inspiration to me as the
shadows grow longer and the distant
portals open wider Her love for me
was untiring through all my remissness
IN the many times that | was naughty
boy
She led me upwards along the paths
of good breeding through which runs
the highway of righteousness
Her teachings have followed me
through long journey and will 90 with
me until she again takes me by the
hand to lead me still higher.
The thcologians would not have it
thus unless | bowed to their idol; but
they know not whereof they speak. =
Ny Mother Long years have passed
since thy son has heard thy gentle child
ings and felt thy loving embrace as
you were leading him to higher grounds.
Many years have gone by since the
earth closed thy grave but did not shut
out thy sweet memory, which abideth
forever.-Sifter John in Londonderry

IN BEHALF OF BOYS.

To Any Che Interested in Boys:
 What would you take for your boy? How do you want him brought up? What kind of influence do you want thrown around him?
 It is the wish of the Y. M. C. A. of Pine Bluff to employ boys Secre- tary, who shall devote his entire time to the boys of the city, not only the C. A.. but ALL boys, all to be done under the direction and control of the Y. M. c. A. But there should be a special board. to consist of five mem bers, who will have this work direct ly under their supervision, and be re- spcnsible for same. Every business man or woman will unhesitatingly acknowledge that the greatest asset of any city is not it's banks. manufac- turing plants, wholesale houses, or any of its commercial houses. but it is the young men who are soon to take charge of these things, and if they are trained up in the proper manner, they will take care of these things as they should be taken care of. and our city will advance in the proper and substantial manner.
 What is a boy properly trained and brought up. worth to a city. and how much does it cost any community to bring up a. criminal? Not to say any thing about soul saved for life eternal or soul lost forever
 We want to. as stated, employ a man who will give his entire time and thought to the boys. organize and supervise their sports. keep in close touch with them and try and make them strong, physically. mentally. morally and spiritually so they will be fully prepared to take our places in the business and religious world and be better qualified than we are.

PEANUT POLITICS, AGAIN.

Reports from Little Rock have it that an attempt is being made by poli ticians who opposed the nomination of Dr. c. H. Brough for governor to organize clique in the senate for the purpose of defeating Brough's plans for the advancement of the state-measures to which he stands pledged. That the people favor these measures was proved by their selec- tion of Dr. Brough for the governor ship, and if peanut politicians are so small that they think they can make political capital out of attempts to defeat legislative moves for the bet terment of the people of Arkansas, they'll find they've made the same mistake as the little boy who thought he could stop a steam roller with a peanut. And the aforesaid will be in about the same condition as the pea nut after it's contact with the steam roller.

Little Rock Thief Pilfers Time ol
 Gazette Reporters.

Little Rock May 29.-Thieves are
 Eo respectors of persons. neither do they always show reasonable discre- ton in the plying of their trade. The thief who will tackle the task of get ting real money out of newspaper
 reporters is truly man of iron nerve and commendable energy, yet Earl E, Plowman and Ralph Hull, two of the standbys of the Arkansas Gazette, re- gret that such a lawless citizen re- sides in Little Rock. or Sunday morn
 mig made this city his temporary
 resting place.
 The searchers for sensations wend, ed their weary way home after press hour on Sunday morning and were soon resting peacefully as those with
 clear conscience do. They awoke at the regular Sunday morning church hour to find that thief had broken through the locks and stole.
 The sinful one carried away two gold
 watches and perhaps 15 cents. the combined fortune of the journalists. The thief was indeed fortunate; in striking the newspaper barons sons the
 morning after weekly pays day. Sb but they are game young gents, and offer to say nothing about the legal tender. if the villain who crept in as they
 slept will return their valuable time
 pieces. AS neither had g way of tell
 ing the time of day, both missed
 church on Sunday morning.

REPORTS OF
 MARKETS COTTON-GRAIN-LIVESTOCK.

New York, May 29.-The cotton market opened at a decline of 5@8 points today under scattered liquida- tion and local selling. inspired by the continued good weather and the fav- orable character of private crop re- ports. Liverpool was barely up to expectations, but the spot business there was heavier, and the market here steadied right after the call on English buying for long account. July rallied from 12.71c to 12.7Sc, October from 12.S3c to 12.91c and December from 13c to 13.08c before the end of the first hour with active months net unchanged to points higher. A private report made the condition TIA and the increase in acreage 9.3 per cent; while another made the condition 80 and the in- crease 9.s, and third placed the condition at 79 and the increase in acreage at 10.5 per cent.
 Trading was quiet later in the morning and seemed to be largely in the way of evening up small scat tered accounts over the holiday. Fluctuations were narrow and irreg- ular with prices ruling about net unchanged to points higher shortly after midday. Another private re- port, published late in the morning, made the condition 81.1 and pointed to an increase of 9.7 per cent in acreage.
 Still another private crop report published early in the afternoon made the condition 821 and indicated an increase of 7.9 per cent in acreage but none of the figures issued on crop prospects seemed to create any fresh interest and trading continued quiet during the middle of the after noon, with prices ruling about net unchanged to 1 point higher, or around 12.91c for October.
