"DoUBTlNG BROWNSVILLE"

It has just been discovered that Doubtina ThomasyilIe Mo, is the locus and situs of the great inter rogatiOn point that has made this commonwealth famous all over the world as the Show Me State Theme radiates the wise skepticism and sophisticated incredulity with which shams must reckon, the penetration before which fraud must quail
 Doubling Thomasyille establishes its claim to universal distinction as the only town on the map that has never bought gold brick, bet on a fake foot race, gone crazy over a boom entertained hippOdromc evangelist or been operated on f0I appendicitis It takes no stock in goosebones. diNining rods, ground hogs, weather prophets mining pros pectors or railway folders. and stump speakers avoid it on campaign tours Doubling Thomasville had the distinction, We are reliably in formed, Of voting against Bryan's Is to l proposition in 1896, and it failed of a single vote for the Bull Moose in 1912 Doubling Thomas vile does no business with cata logue houses, and its editor cut out the patent insides of his paper. Doubling ThomasVille didn't believe in Dr. Cook and it never pays C. o. D. for anything without open ing the package.
 But it's principal distinction con sists in the fact that the luminous editor of the Salem Sun, of Salem Arkansas, the Hon. John Hall him self, originally hailed from there and we cant help wondering wheth- CT he is the living explanation of Thomasvilles skepticism or was it's skepticism the reason for his leav, ing?

Diptheria Scare;
 Riggs Ouarantined

As the result of the diphtheria scare, the home of Thomas Riggs Jr,, member of the Alaskan Engin- eering commission, was placed in quarantine early in the week by the health authorities. MT Riggs little daughter has been sick for several days, and it was thought that she had diphtheria, but such a fact had not been absolutely ascertained, oW ing to the fact that laboratory ia cilities for making examinations of cases of throat trouble are limited here.
 The little girl is now entirely convalescent, according to the state ment of the physician in attendance on the case. The Riggs home however remains in quarantine, al though Commissioner Riggs himself has been released by special or der of the health board in order that he may attend to his official duties here.
 No other cases resembling diph- theria have been reported to the health board. The city council, how ever, has taken the precautionary measure of sending Outside for 1OO,- 900 units of antitoXin in addition to the supply kept continually on hand for emergency purposes. Dr J. A. Sutherland has been named as city physician to serve until after the quarantine on the Riggs home is raised.

Necessity since the war began has been the father and mother of invention. The United States is beginning to find out what it can do to fill the great vacuum, which nature abhors, created by the de mands of war and the iron ring around the German laboratories and factories.
 Announcement was made recently that the forest service laboratories had been successful in producing print paper from eleven kinds of wood that had not been used be- fore. The paper is being used by newspapers in eastern cities, so that there is no question of it's practical success. Hitherto spruce wood has
