Hon. Joseph J. Critics of Rolla, well
a nd favorably known in this section
of the state, is now regarded as the
democratic nominee for Lieut..
Governor. MIR. Critics is one of the
ablest lawyers in the state and one of
the cleanest and very best citizens of
Missouri. The press in every section
Of the state is paying him SO far high
compliments and predict his nomina-
ton without opposition. The Pierce
City Leader has the following to say
of Mr.. Critics:
1t is source Of qualification and no
little pride to the editor of this paper,
to note from the press of every section
of the state, especially the unanimous
voice of the press of South Missouri,
the high esteem in which our old
friend, Hon. Joseph J. Critics of Rolla,
is held by the democracy Of Missouri
with reference to his candidacy for
Lieutenant Governor.
Just a year ago when Mr.. Critics was
spoken of as candidate for this
position, we predicted in the columns
Of this paper, his nomination without
opposition, and we are still of that
opinion as the year just ended finds
his candidacy strongly entrenched an d
we'll organized with the democrats of
Missouri and his friends in every sect
ion of the state active in his behalf
and alert to his interests, and SO we
feel sure at this time that when the
filing time comes there will be but
one candidate for this Office and that
will be Mr.. Critics.
Joe Crites is big enough to hold any
office in the gift of this common
wealth. He is capable and square al
ways; his large acquaintance is a
valuable asset. He is good cam
paigner and organizer and will
strengthen the ticket in many ways.
Again he comes from a section of
the state never heretofore recognized
on the state ticket in the nearly one
hundred years of the life of this state.
But over and above, the people who
have known him all his life in his
home and adjoining counties are for
him to man. He ought to and will
receive this nomination. He will not
only be nominated, but his election
is sure,

The Arcadia Summer Assembly
(st. Louis Christian Advocate.

(St. Louis Christian Advocate.
This is to call the attention of the
people to the fact that the program
for the Summer Assembly at Arcadia
is now in the hands of the printers,
and they have promised that we shall
haveit by April /.
Iappeal to our people throughout
the st. Louis Conference, particularly,
that they make their plans to attend
the Assembly this year. We must
have the support of the people if this
venture is a success. Our attendance
is growing from year to year and the
place is growing more and more a
delight to those, who go. The Arcadia
Assembly is no longer on trial. We
are in the field to stay. But we want
more of our people to get the advan-
tages given there.
The program varies just little this
year from those in former years, and
we think the departure will be ap-
preciated.
Among the speakers this year you
will find such as Bishop Mouzon, Drs
Lee and Rice, Hon. Chas. M. Hay
Rev. M. N. Waldrip, DR.. Jno. M
Moore and Mrs. Nellie G. Burger.
Barroll's Orchestra will give us two
concerts. You will travel long way
to find better bunch of musicians
than you will see in this orchestra.
DR.. and Mrs. Henry will assume re-
sponsibility for the dining hall this
year. This will insure wholesome
food and well served. The expenses
will be the very lowest possible. You
good people see that your pastor gets
there. You could well afford to send
him. The inspiration he gets will be
brought back to You and will pay YOU
a thousand fold. Often times We
preachers are dull. We know it. All
the Lords reapers we need something
that will put keen edge on oul
blade. Arcadia will do this for your
pastor. Invest little in it and try 1t
There Wholesome new cottages te
greet US when we go up this year
Let others build. Do not be afraid d
the permanence Of this Assembly. VIZ
cannot afford to quit.

The Prevention Of Scarlet Fever.

The papers say that the worst
epidemic Of scarlet fever in the his
tory Of Kansas is now raging in that
state. The proximity Of Kansas to
Missouri makes the condition serious.
Scarlet fever is justly one Of the
most dreaded diseases of children,
not only because Of the high death
rate, but also on account Of the per-
manent injuries which are often left,
such as diseases of the heart, diseases
OF the kidney, deafness, etc. From
to years Of age is the time at which
ii is most prevalent. After 8 years
the liability declines, and by the age
OF i5 a very marked resistance is OBJ
served. Nevertheless, cases occur in
grown persons. 1t is,more prevalent
In temperate countries than In hot
countries, and In the United States 1t
occurs more in the North than in
the South. It Is mostly seen in the
winter and spring, very few cases oc-
curing during the summer months.
After exposure, there is q period
averaging from twelve to fourteen
days, but sometimes running longer,
before the disease declares itself. The
onset is always abrupt, manifested
BY headache, chillness, slight sore
throat, vomiting, and In young chill
dren frequently COMMISSIONS. Vomit-
ing ID one OF the most constant
symptoms, marking the onset in at
least three -fourtns Of all cases. An
other characteristic symptom is the So
called strawberry tongue, the coated

aYour committee finds that the

tions made to cover the same"
"The total expenses Of the Secre-
tary of States department during the

the receipts during the years 1909 to

GERMAN T0YMAKERS SUFFER.
Nearly Two-thirds Of Business Lost
Because OF War.

BERNIE, Switzerland. Sept. l2.-Per-
haps no single industry In Germany has
suffered SO much from the war as that
Of toy making. In the last peace year
Germ64fy's toy trade aggregated l40,-
900. 900 marks ($35. O00. 000). Of which
more than s25. 900. 900 was export and
the larger part to America. Since the
war this figure has dropped nearly two
thirds. What Is worse still for the Ger
man manufacturers Is the fact that other
countries have taken up this industry
and the Germans will fnd II very hard
to recover their lost markets.
In 1918 the toy exports to tho United
States amounted to nearly $40. 000, 900.
but since then, owing to the British
blockade. the volume OF trade has sunk
to perhaps less than one-fourth of this
sum. The neutral states. Holland. Dem
mark, Sweden and MOI way, have bought
more toys. but their increased trade has
failed to make up the loss OF the trans
atlantic business. Austria Hungary too
has taken moro toys and the home trade
has been much better. But in spite Of
all this the total shrinkage In the annual
turnover IL estimated at between 60 and
20 per cent.
II is said that 1900 kinds Of German
toys are nov being made In England and
, arc being sold Mt the same prices a. the
original articles, In France tho trade Is
being pushed rapidly. and one factory
alone has already made ver u. 900. 900

LOW WAR PRICES IN ITALY.
General Increase Hardly More
Than Ut Per Cent.

ROME, Sept. Son the whole Italy has
suffered less from the war than other
European country. and the latest fig
ures relating TO high cost Of living show
that the general increase IN prices Is
hardly more than II per cent.
Bread has only increased SIS per cent,
flour 5.5 per cent. paste l5.1 per cent,
beef. 37.3 per cent. lard 81 per cent, oil
22 per cent, milk III per cent. During
tho last month prices instead Of increas-
Ing nave fallen of, but only slightly,
about 0.5 per cent, Prices vary In the
cities. Only two Of the forty principal
cities have Increased prices during the
first six months OF this year. There
We're Jumps OF 4.25 and %.07 per cent. re-
spectively at Pavia and Alessandra. In
Rome the prices are $40 per cent less
than they were last January.
When It Is considered that Italy's ex-
port trade Is practically In allegiance, that
imported goods have reached high prices
owing to many causes, principally high
freights and a high rate Of exchange, and
hat new taxes have been levied and old
ones increased owing to the war. tho In
crease in prices OF food is fully justified.
1t Ia surprising that they have been kept
so low.
