treatment, first tried in Arkansas
when the present epidemic of anthrax
was discovered June 10 in Chicot
county. Dr.. Cow said Tuesday it was
proving very effective. One of the
difficulties in stemming its advance
is the usually rapid spread into wide
ly separated districts and failure in
some instances of reports being made
of mysterious deaths of cattle, mules,
horses and other livestock to the state
veterinarians office.
Such deaths, particularly where live
stock is found dead in low, marshy or
even bottom lands, should be reported
Immediately, DR.. Cow said, SO that
early steps to prevent a wide spread
of the disease in such districts can be
taken. 1t is more prevalent in low
country than elsewhere, and spreads
much more rapidly in such districts.
Cattle die almost instantly from an
thrax, but horses and mules, as we'll as
humans, show symptoms in local
swellings and fever. Without serum
treatment, death is almost certain
within four days.

Combining quality and price, Pine
Bluff merchants can compete with any
mail-order house. A merchant who
comes into personal contact with his
customers must first of all offer them
quality goods. 1t is an intimate, per-
sonal matter, not PARKWAY transac-
ton by which anything can be "put
across" Every merchant in Pine
Bluff must of necessity sell goods
that give lasting satisfaction; it is
not case of merely making a SALE
but satisfying a customer so much
that he will remember the transaction
with pleasure.
Let the ads in The Graphic be your
catalog, and come to town, talk over
crops and other things with your
neighbors and others living in remote
parts of the county; and thus gather
many valuable pointers in addition to
enjoying the benefits of bargains set
before you by live merchants.

It is natural in hot weather to seek
relief by plunging into cold bath,
or the cold water of stream, lake OF
sea beach. But medical authorities
point out that the practice is not with
out it's dangers.
Many of the drownings reported in
such numbers throughout the sum-
mer are caused by heart failure due
to the sudden shock of the warm body,
weakened by sultry heat, coming into
sudden contact with the chill water.
Many other cases are due to cramps,
resulting from the same cause. And
death or serious injury has often
been known to occur from merely
pumping into a bath tub filled with
very cold water, or turning on cold
shower when the body is glowing and
physical resistance is at low ebb.
The value of the shock incident to a
morning plunge, in the tub or ANY
where else, has been exaggerated.
Even when the weather and the
plunger's health are both normal, the
effects may be bad. In the summer
particularly it is wise to avoid eX-
tremely cold water, OF at least to cool
off the body gradually so as to ac-
custom it to the low temperature with
out shock.
Most swimmers consider a sudden
plunge or dive the only legitimate way
to enter the water. 1t may be less
heroic to wade in slowly, and wet one
self gradually, but it is far more
sensible. And it is likewise sensible
to leave the water just as soon as one
begins 70 feel chilled. If blue finger
nails and chattering teeth were re-
garded in Juvenile circles as evidence
Of folly--which they are-rather than
heroic endurance, there would be
fewer drownings.

TRADING BY MAIL OR IN
PINE BLUFF.

Catalog houses are said to get more
than half the business of the rural
districts. They do not get anywhere
near that much from the towns hav-
ing good, progressive and aggressive
stores.
The reason for the difference seems
obvious. 1t looks convenient to the
rural resident to make a choice from
catalog instead of coming to Pine
Bluff.
It is the duty of local merchants
to convince the residents within trad
ing radius of Pine Bluff that thei,
best interest lies in buying their neces
sites in Pine Bluff.
There are many reasons, and among
them are that every time dollar il
sent to Chicago instead of being spen
in Pine Bluff its usefulness in thi;
county lis gone.
|, And sthe less money spent in Pin
Huff the less of IA trading center i
is the less advantages and attrac
tions it possesses for those livini
hereabouts, the less it can help to i'm
prove the county through taxes and i
ofh1r numerous ways, and the less
90 aid in raising farm values.

The Republican platform condemns
the rural credit bill framed by the
Democrats, and when it was voted on
the Democrats insisted on roll call
and put the Republican congressman
on record, and only 10 had the gall 10
vote against it, so it passed by 80
to 10, thus showing that the Repub-
lican party is made up of hypocrites
or towards. Well, every Republican
congressman from farming districts
knew if he voted against this patriotic
measure, he would give way this fail
to Democratic successor" Many
of them will, anyway.

PRESS COMMENT.
JOYS OF PEDESTRIANISM.

With the progress of civilization and
the perfection of mechanical means of
getting from one point to another, the
art of pedestrianism-iti is hardly too
much to call it an arts in danger Of
being lost. Few walk nowadays, COM
pared with the number who walked so
years ago. At moments when our
grandfathers would have stepped
lightly off without a thought of the
difficulties and dangers of walking 10
or Is city blocks, we wait pantingly
for some means Of conveyance. This
is the worse for us, because walking
is one of the best exercises there is,
and not walking is one of the worst
exercises.
Walking improves the digestion,
stimulates the circulation of the blood,
exercises muscles which are otherwise
in danger of becoming flabby, soothes
the mind, relieves tense nerves, and,
in fact, does everything but cure the
incurable and soothe the unsoothable.
One may walk away from an unde
sirable emotion, or tire desirable
emotion to the point where it can be
used One should walk when one is
angry or worried or disappointed
Health and happiness lie over the hills
and far away, if we will but walk to
them, but if we are artificially con-
veyed thither they fade away, like the
pot of gold at the rainbow's end.
Though one walk no more than a
few city blocks there is tonic in it.
Whether one wants company or not en-
walk depends on the mood. It is q
safe rule not to walk alone all the
time nor in company all the time. Two
though more may add occasional va
riety. One or more bands are some

GASOLINE PRICE
IN ARKANSAS CUT

A reduction of one cent in the price
of tank-wagon gasoline and half
cent on barreled gasoline, effective
Wednesday morning, was announced
for all Arkansas stations by the Stan
dard Oil company of Louisiana, which
operates in this state, says the Little
Rock Democrat Of Wednesday.
The reduction cuts the price to con-
sumers from 211a to 2O1a cents a
gallon.
Other oil companies in the city
probably will meet the reduction
though none of them could give def
mite information Wednesday morn
ing. They received the first word OF
the Standard company's cut when
called by the Democrat, and said
statements would be made later.
The cut follows and probably is due
to a reduction in the price of crude
oil announced by the same. company
/ from Shreveport, La, in dispatches te
! the Democrat Tuesday. All grades
of crude oil, save Crichton, which has
| been reduced in price three times since
May II, went down 10 cents a barrel
The change in price announced by
the Standard company through Man
ager r. C. Dalton in Little Rock Wed
nesday is the first change in the las
70 days. He said it applies to al
points in Arkansas where the com
pany has stations, which means virtu
ally reduction in all the larger town:
in the state. The price asked unit

consumers, is the highest price thu
Standard has quoted. The increas;
started within the last year, will

months.

FIGHTING PARALYSIS.

Little Rock. July 26.-The medical
department of the University of Ar
kansas has issued a circular on in
fantile paralysis in which it urges
renewed hostihties on the mosquito,
the fly and their breeding places. The
medical profession has not yet de-
termined the cause of this dread dis
ease. nor has a cure been discovered,
so the physicians recommend caution,
and the best manner of being cau-
tious is to keep, flies away from in
fants, for it isl known that the dis
ease IS communicable and flies are
supposed to be the best agency for its
transmission. Cats are also given
as excellent carriers and are to be
avoided.

SERUM AIDS men
Who CONTRACTED
DEADLY ANTHRAX
No New Cases Among HUI
mans Reported to the
State Veterinarian.

| Little Rock, July 26.-No further
reports of persons contracting anthrax
had been made at the offices Of State
Veterinarian R. NJ. Cow at the old
statehouse Wednesday, The three
patients in Monroe county, at last re-
ports, were getting along well. DR..
Cow left Wednesday morning for
GAINESVILLE, Johnson county, to look
after state business there, but whether
a new outbreak of the dread disease
called him there other attaches of the
department did not know
Veterinarians are working night and
day in an effort to stem advance of
the disease in Desha, Chicot, Arkansas
and Monroe counties. They have
plenty of serum now, after difficulty
in getting it several weeks ago.
The three farmers who were attack
ed by the disease in Monroe county
are the first and only ones known to
have suffered this year. Two boys
contracted the disease in swimming
hole near Bald Knob last year and
died. Serum treatment saved the
Monroe county men, who were found
affected in time for the serum to
check the death-dealing infection.
First symptoms were noticed in
one of the men in a small blister some
thing like water blister on his
thumb. The place got sore, turnee
black and became very ugly looking
Then a streak of black appeared or
his forearm and was spreading wher
we visited him." said DR.. Cow. "The
serum was injected and almost imme
diately there was change in the ap
pearance of the spots. The mark OF
the forearm left soon, and the patient
after failing to sleep for two nights
got good rest. The others improved
in the same way One of them hat
contracted the disease from skinnins
an animal that died of anthrax. a
small wound where briar hat
scratched him afforded an entry plac'
for the germs"
| DR.. Cow did not administer tn
serum himself to the patients, but saw
them, and said the improvement afte
they had been treated was marked
and declared that it undoubtedly ha
saved their lives.
/ Burn Carcasses.
Farmers are being urged to bur
carcasses of dead animals immediatel
after death. Great danger come
from letting the bodies decay nea
streams of water, which carry the dis
ease for miles. Flies, buzzards an
animals also spread it, which necessi
tates immediate and complete destruc
ton of the bodies. This work and tn
treating of animals in infected dis
ltricts in the four counties, both to pre-
vent them from being afflicted and
cure those afflicted, is taking the tim
of deputies in each of the countie

BETTING ODDS CHANGES.

Soon after the nominations were
made in June, when it became known
that Teddy would endorse Hughes, the
Republicans offered a few small bets
at two to one in favor of Hughes,
which were promptly taken up. But
last week $25 900 was offered on Will
son in New York at odds of two to
one and no Republican takers at that.
The outlook is glorious.

Vivian Resin8s to
Work for Carlson

Denver. July 19.-John F. Vivian,
secretary of the Republican state cen
tral committee. yesterday resigned as
secretary in order to devote his time
to the work of securing Governor Geo.
Carlson's denomination. Mr.. Vivian
feels that inasmuch as there are three
candidates seeking the nomination for
the gubernational candidacy on the
Republican ticket, he should not be
secretary so long as he intends to de-
vote his attention to working for the
governor. In other words, officials are
expected to remain neutral and he pre-
ferred to work for Carlson than to re-
main neutral. His letter of resigna-
ton was forwarded to Chairman p. b.
Stewart last night. II says:
Two years ago Governor Carlson
did the unprecedented when he car
ried "a out of SO counties in Colorado
by n plurality of almost 10000, not
withstnnding the fact that the Progress
sive's candidate received $4,000 votes,
! am fully convinced that n vast ma
jority OF the Republicans of the state
endorse his splendid administration
and favor his denomination, which has
been Justly earned. Believing that II
is my duty to prepare at this time TO
help carry out the will of the majority
and to the end that other candidates
cannot complain of my action in work
ing in the governors behalf, | hereby
tender my resignation as secretary of
the Republican state central COM
mittee to take effect Immediately.

from Major John B. Goodman, the

Through Col. A. F. Reeves, of Mont
rose, the people of that city have sent
to me, by contribution, the sum of
s163 for our company fund. l impart-
ed knowledge of this to the men dur
ing the ceremony of retreat, and un-
able to restrain themselves, they
rules, but they could not be blamed
for it under the circumstances.
In order to make up company fund
we have started a company store at
which we sell tobacco, candies, ice
cream, pop, and other articles, the
profits going into the company fund.
This fund is used to buy little things
for the men that age not issued by the
government, and to help on the "eats''
when the army chaw gets short. The
Montrose contribution came as a great
help. and it is the only help we have
had
Despite all rumors to the contrary,
the Colorado troops are going to the
border. The delay in this camp is
due to Capt. W. T. Bates. o. S. muster
ing officer. who desires every man in
good condition before he announces
that the men are ready. To this end,
every officer and man must take the
anti-typhoid innoculation and small
pox vaccination. Thirty days are re-
quired to complete the treatment, at
the end of which, the troops are ready.
The COLORADO boys are now going
through. in their own state, what the
other troops must go through at the
border. and it is infinitely to their
advantage.
When other eliminations have been
made, especially the married men,
will need about 10 or IL more to fill
up the ranks, and would like to get
them from the Western Slope.
All mayzrest assured that the boys
are all well, in good hands. well
treated and fed. satisfied and con-
tented-naturally.
