Keitt-McDaniel-


| On Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 31st,
at five p. m, Mr.. J. G. Keitt of Hub
bard City and Miss Carribel Nc
Daniel, the only daughter of Mr..
w. r. Mcdaniel. of Milford, were
married at the home of the bride,
Rev. j. l.. Bell, d. d., of Dallas. Of
ficiating. If there is anything more
beautiful than day in June it was
this perfect. golden day, October 81,
| 1916. The bride chose the. birthday
of her mother for the wedding day,
and tears were mingled with the
smiles of many there that day for
the memory of her loneliness is still
fragrant in the hearts OF all who
knew her.
The beautiful altar before which
the couple took Their VOWS was the
conception and handiwork of the
brides great uncle, Mr. r. f. Black.
White plume crysanthemums. white
Killarney roses, white carnations
and tube roses were used in its
decorations; the white dove of peace
giving the finishing touch and a
benediction. The soft light of a
myriad of white candles, gave the
appropriate setting for this colonial
home. Just preceding the ceremony,
Miss Davis of Texas Presbyterian
College, accompanied by Miss Evans,
sang 20 Promise Me-" while the
sweet strains OF Traurneri were play
cd during the ceremony. The bride
was gowned in creation of white
TITLE and silver lace hung over duch-
esse satin, her veil being caught in
eoronet fashion with wreath of
pearls and orange blossoms. She
carried an arm bouquet of white cry
santhemums and came to the altar on
the arm of her father, Mr.. w. r.
Mcdaniel. In her youthful beauty
and charm she made rare picture
rot soon to be forgotten.
The groom, whose sterling quail
ties of character have won for him
such substantial success and so
many friends, locked indeed the
sturdy oak upon whom she might
lean in perfect safety
Just after the ceremony the
brides cake was cut and wedding
dainties served in the dining room.
The brides cake, which was iced In
lilies Of the valley and roses, was
surrounded by a wreath of pink
Killarney roses and lilies of the
valley: cut glass candelabras hold
ing pink tapers furnishing the ta-
BILE decorating. The appointments
of the dining room were fashioned
by the loving hands of her aunt, Mrs,
e. ]. Gibson, of Dallas.
About sixty guests were present,
| consisting of the relatives of the con-
tracing parties and few intimate
| friends. House guests for the oc-
| casion were DR.. and Mrs. ]. l.. Bell
of Dallas, Miss Julia Mclean OF
Itasca, Miss Daisy Lee Woodail OF
| HiIlsboro, Miss Clyde Daniels or
| Kerens and Mrs. E. ]. Gibson and
| daughter, Mary Anna, of Dallas.
| Immediately after the ceremony
the bride and groom left for waco,
where they took the Katy Flyer go
ing west. After month spent in
| California and on the Pacific coast,
they will be at home in Hubbard CITY.
They were the recipients OF many
handsome presents.-Milford News.

Another way in which mother
nature tries to do her very-best
for her stricken offspring is to in
crease the size of the blood cells
which remain undiseased; such
cells are called megalocytes.
In the blood of such sufferers are
seen also corpuscles Of remarkably
irregular form; from being coin
shaped, as they should be normally,
they become almost rod shaped, as
If they were trying to stretch out

first the patient is nervous, but later
becomes apathetic. The physician
detects heart murmurs over the
chest wall; there is visible pulsa-
ton of the arteries in the neck; the
superficial veins are prominent.
The outlook is, indeed, bad; death
is likely to come within twelve
months. Yet of late years the
proportion of cases of at least tenn
porary recovery has increased.
One patient was in good health six
years. another four years after the
onset of this disease. In many cases
there are alternate periods of gain
or losss- People whose digestive dis
turbances are marked do badly.
Such patients are treated by
being put to bed for weeks or even
months if possible in the open air;
they are given all the nutritious
food they can possibly digest;
arsenic Is given them in one or
another form, as Fowler's solution
or sodium cacodylate or atoxyl.
There are oil 1nunctions. And bone
marrow is given; this latter feature
of the treatment being as old as
Galen, Nero's physician, who pre-
scribed 1t twenty centuries ago.
Besides such measures as wa
have noted blood TRANSMISSION is
done. Hard to state, however, the
course of pernicious anemia has
not been found to be much modi-
fed by this measure, one never
without peril, In any case, to either
patient or donor.
A special reason why such trans
fusion is likely to be ineffective
here is that the very hemolysis
which 1t Is sought to combat has
been found to result from that
operation. And this by reason

anemia appear to have been orig
mated during collaborating or DUR
ing confinement; others by reason
OF chronic gastric atrophy, the
gradual shrinking up, as 1t we're, OF
the stomach walls; others to para

others because of emotional shock
or worry; In others toxins gen.
Grated in the digestive tract, by rea-
son of imperfect digestion, pass In
to the blood, p isoning thus the
precious red blood cells upon which
the maintenance of life and of our
vitality depends.
And yet, as have noted, there
are many cases of pernicious ane-
mia In which there has been no
hemorrhage or chlorosis, or malig-
nancy or any other discoverable
predisposition.
Pernicious anemia is unhappily
not rare; 1t Is, In fact, a widely
distributed disease, very common
In the United States, of frequent
occurrence in Switzerland. 1t af-
fects men more than women and
generally the middle aged; though
children have suffered thus.
The essential characteristic of
this disease is degeneration Of the
blood with destruction especially
of the red blood cells. Doctors
call this hemolysis.
The liver and spleen of sufferers
who have died are found to contain
enormous increase of iron, an eIe-
ment necessary to the body's up
building and maintenance, but
which has evidently not been utli-
lied for Its proper purposes, and
has been sifted by those organs out
OF the broken down blood elements.
The red blood cells Tor CORPUS
cles) fall far below their normal
numbers. In health there should
be 5000, 900 of them to a cubic CEN
tfmeter (one-twenty-fifth of an inch)
OF blood. In this disease, however,
the number falls to below one-fifth;
In some cases only one-twentieth
the normal number have remained.
Yet Nature, here, as In all dis-
eased states, does the very best
she can for the poor sufferer. And

THE disease with which Mrs.
Inez Milholland Boissevain
was suddenly stricken in Los
Angeles was described by the press
dispatches as "a form of blood poi
soning.s So severe were its raw
ages that this charming and tai
ented woman--who, when student
at Vassar, won fame as an athlete
and had long been famous for her
mental and physical vigor-became
greatly weakened, and her physi-
clans were forced to resort to blood
TRANSMISSION to sustain her strength.
The description of Mrs. Boisse-
vain's condition and of the methods
employed to alleviate 1t make It
seem probable that her disease was
what is known to medical science
as pernicious misunderstanding
which nobody yet fully understands
and for which no certain cure Is
known.
Anemia in itself is a disease the
main feature of which is either that
the volume of blood in the body is
reduced to below what 1t should be
in health, or that one or more of the
various blood elements are so i'm
poverished or destroyed as to COCA
sion sickness.
Thus there Is chlorosis or green
sickness, suffered mostly by young
girls In whose family there may
have been tuberculosis cases, or
girls who may have been made
susceptible to the anemia by reason
of poor food, or confinement In close
rooms, or inconsistencies, or one of
a number OF other causes. This
chlorosis is generally durable.
Then there Is the secondary
anemia which results from bad
hemorrhage, as from profuse and
frequent nosebleeds; or from In
digestion, due simply to dyspepsia
or to cancer OF the stomach or
other grave gastric disease; or. in
workers at dangerous trades, from
chronic lead. mercury, phosphorus.
or copper poisoning. Anemia is
also secondary to such diseases as
typhoid fever. rheumatism, malaria
and kidney trouble. II the cause
can be removed, or the diseases on
which the secondary anemia de-
ponds can be cured, then such
anemia also is successfully COM
hated.
But pernicious anemia is grave
matter indeed. IT Is well called by
doctors idiopathic-that is. arising,
so to speak. out OF itself and with
out discoverable cause. They speak
of il also as progressive anemia,
because its tendency is to grow
worse; though such is not the in
variable rule. Yet, If there are
periods of improvement there are
also likely 10 be relapses or recur-
rences, each more serious than its
predecessor.
Some cases OF this form of
