Headache of any kind is caused by
Observation-Disclosures means self
poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests in the smaller arteries
and veins of the head producing vio-
lent, throbbing pain and distress called
headache. You become nervous, de-
spondent, sick, feverish and miserable,
your meals sour and almost nauseate
you. Then you resort to acetanilide,
aspirin or the bromides which temper
arily relieve but do not rid the blood of
these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in it drank
before breakfast for awhile, will not
OILY wash these poisons from your sys-
TEN and cure you of headache but will
cleanse, purify and freshen the entire
alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for quarter
pound of limestone phosphate. 1t is in

most tasteless, except for sourish
twinge which is not unpleasant.

THE DOCTOR BY THE YEAR.

That the physician of the future will work under a contract system predicted by speaker at the re convention of the Ohio State Medical Association He explained what he thought ideal system Each individual would pay a yearly tax for "sckness insur- lnce," and the doctors would be remunerated by the state stage preceding this will probably be the hir ng of physicians by individuals and families nyearly contracts The physician will be paid much year or month to keep the ~atient well. No dimiunon will be allowed during health, increase during sickness.
 It's very unlike the Chinese system by which the physician paid during the health of the patient but his ices stopped upon the approach of illness.
 This would put stop the abuses of the fee system The doctor wouldn't starve if his people we'll would he be kept coming unnecessarily would leccary operations be advised
 This plan is growing in favor among medical Dr. Otto " Huffman advised it before a convention in Chi this winter and bill for compulsory health insus is be introduced into the Ohio legislature next winter.

New Folder Will Enable Force
To Get Paper Out On
Time Each Week

A better paper every week,
has been the aim of The Partisan
for several months.
In order to accomplish this it
has become necessary that the
already large floor space be ex-
tended, and before next weeks
issue reaches its subscribers The
Partisan will be occupying the
entire first and second floors of
The Partisan building on Wash
ington street.
In addition to this increase
in floor space and in order that
the force may be enabled to get
or the paper on time each week,
a new folder has been purchased.
This will cut down the time re-
quired in folding and mailing the
papers.
Under the new arrangement
The Parisian's office and press
room will occupy the first floor
of the building, as in the past,
but the composing room and
ad. alley will be located on the
second floor.
During the past week or ten
days many Improvements have
been made on The Partisan build
ing and an inside stairway has
been put in, connecting the first
and second floors.
With the new machinery that
has been purchased and the
addition of floor space, The Pari-
sian will be easily enabled to
issue the only Metropolitan

HIS MAN

Deputy Sheriff Hardin, of
Robertson county. arrived in
Paris Wednesday morning and a
few minutes after reaching this
city placed under arrest a man
named Alley, wanted at Cedar
Hill on a charge of disposing of
mortgaged property.
Alley was turned over to Chief
of Police A. N. Lindsey, who
locked him up at the police sta
tion until Wednesday afternoon,
when Hardin returned with him
to Cedar Hill.
Iti is said that Alley, who is a
man with good family ccnnec-
tons in Robertson county. ran
away from Cedar Hill with a
woman named Graper and the
latter's daughters, who had been
notified to leave that place. The
women are understood to be
living a few miles from Paris at
present. Alley and the women
arrived in Paris Saturday after
noon.

Primary For Representative Is
Likely Following Committee

CHAIRMAN GARDNER CALLS
COUNTY COMMITTEE CONFAB
Gen. ]. w. Lewis Mentioned
For Member Of Platform
Committee Place

Plans for the election of dele.
gates to the state Democratic
convention and for the nomina-
tion of a Democratic candidate
for Representative will be dis
cussed and adopted at meeting
of the Henry County Democratic
Executive Committee, which has
been called to be held in the
county court room Saturday af-
ternoon, March IL at l o'clock,
by I. B. Gardner, chairman of
the committee.
Under the ruling of the state
committee notice of at least
ten days must be given between
the date of the committee meet
ing and the selection of delegates
to the state convention, and it is
considered probable that the
Henry county committee will
order a mass convention to be
held at an early date, and proba-
bly, Saturday March rs, for the
selection of these delegates.
Those who favor the primary
plan for the nomination of a
candidate for Representative,
point out that the committee is
already committed, in a way,
to this method, as a resolution
was adopted at the meeting
which rescinded the October pri-
mary for Representative, declar-
Ing that a primary would be
ordered at the proper time.
Two years ago the primary
for Representative was held on
the same date as the regular
election in August and this pre-
cedent is likely to be followed
this year, it is said. Whether
or not a run-off will be ordered
is not known. In fact, the COM
mittee is likely to be governed
largely by the desires of the
and prospective can
didates for Representative, who
will probably attend the commit
tee meeting Saturday and make
known their wishes.
An interesting bit of political
gossip which is going the rounds
is that friends of Gen. J. w.
Lewis would like to see him
made a member of the platform
committee at the state conven-
tion, which will be held at Nash
Vile May II. The delegates
from each congressional district
name a member of the platform
committee, and if Gen. Lewis
The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1916-03-10

are being prosecuted by those
desiring them out of the way for
political reasons.
A committee of Memphis law
yers investigated the charges
against them. The Memphis
bar recommended that Judge
Edgington be tried, but that
charges against Gen. Estes be
dropped. The extra session will
hear charges against both, how
ever, it is said.

SONGS ON CITY STREET

Monday afternoon = which

men were seen practicing
songs from a hymn book, prob
ably purchased that day, while
sitting on the steps at the en-
trance to the city hall.
The young men were very
much interested in their song
book, and while not singing in
q very loud voice, their notes
were plainly audible to passers
along the crowded sidewalk.
AS stated, they had probably
just bought the book from
some local firm and could not
wait until they reached home
to try some of the songs.

On several occasions the tele-
