RUIHVILLE NEWS

It is needless to say that we are
having a rip-roaring old time over
here in Ruthville and vicinity with
the beautiful snow and the exceed
ing cold weather. We feel very
thankful, however, that after eleven
days Of suffering and shivering in q
fourteen-inch snow and zero weather
the news comes to us after count
ing noses blythe city authorities, that
we are all here, and pleading to the
Master for one more Florida breeze
before we lay down and die.
We have had no mail by our car
rier from Friday until the following
Thursday, on account of the deep
snow-drifts, which in some places
were five feet deep. By using a
six-mule team, we made way to
there, took train for Fulton and
Mcconnell and strong men went
brought out mail for the entire city.
Business was at a stand-stlll here for
near a week.
Geo. Boyd has not sent us any
wood yet, but we still have faith in
him.
The patrons plowed road through
the snow-drifts for the children, and
our school lost only one day last
week, as our school rooms are made
comfortable and plenty Of fuel.
We had ur dog killed yesterday,
because he caught, killed and ate
chickens and had tackled a hog.
The way of the transgressor is hard.
We learned that dog or dogs had
killed IL geese for Mrs. Virginia
Brundige one night last week.
It is thought we will soon install
a new telephone central office, as
at a meeting of citizens interested,
a committee was appointed to learn
the cost of switchboard, etc., and re-
port as soon as possible. We now
have to keep up lines to Fulton, eight
miles away.
If you desire a few items of news
in the future, you will have to wait
until the snow, which is yet a foot
deep, melts, so / can get few yards
away from the office.-Country.

a large crowd attending the inter
ment, paying a last tribute of re-

Foreign Printing.

When merchants and business men
patronize foreign printers they have
no right to set up howl if the bal
ance of us patronize the mail order
houses, which, by the way, are sap
ping the very life blood out of the
small town merchant.
Sending away for printing is just
like sending away for dry goods or
anything else, and when the home
printer does printing he always puts
his imprint unless it be office sta
tionery, but if it be large bills, or
anything of that kind, you will find
the home printers imprint at the
bottom of the job. So, those mer-
chants who send out printing with
no imprint advertise to the public
they are patronizing foreign con-
Germs and have no right to complain
at the patronage of mail order hous-
es.

Dear Santa, Care Dresden Enter
prise::-
AS this is time when everybody
is saving everything they can, and
giving everything they save to our
sailors and soldiers to help them whip
the Germans, the Gleason High
School is now going to save the edi-
tor trouble, and also space in his pa
per for other things, by letting one
letter be letter for all Of us to the
man who has visited US each Christ
mas and who everyone is expecting
this Christmas. This man is Santa.
Dear Santa, we would like to ask
you for many things, like we have
received on previous Christmases,
but as we think of the little homeless
and orphan children Of France, Italy,
Russia and other warning nations of
Europe, we cannot ask for so many
things. Santa, come to see our
teachers, Mrs. Matheny, Miss Bates,
Miss Braley;; and Miss Meadows.
Santa, be as good to our principal
as you can, and don't forget his
wife. Now, as for Miss Clement, her
beau in Gleason will bring her plen-
ty. Santa, come to see the ninth
grade, for they have sure been good,
considering what they have had to
put up with. But, my, my, they
sure have had a tough time. Santa,
award each pupil according to his or
her works. Santa, don't forget the
boys at the front, in the army and
Pupil.

Disease That Is Dreaded, Isl
Known By Certain Symp-
toms Here Told
STOP COMMUNITY DISEASES
Publication Recently Issued by Dl1
vision Of Extension, University Of
Tennessee, Tslls About Typhoid and
Now u May Be Prevented or Cured.

When you have headache, and tired,
ach1ng muscles, and spots dancing be-
eOFe your eyes; when you feel stupid,
V0WH back aAhOa. and you are constiI
natod: when your tongue ID flEred and
shSakly coated, and there is some sorOl
ness over your bowels--then, think OF
typhoid fewer. You may be 50 tired
and tagged that you and It quite en-
effort TO move yourself Two or three
weeks Of this condition and your fever
comes on. Then you have typhoid
fever.
This disease is caused by small or
gan1sms, so small that the microscope
Is needed to see them. One of them
rs known as bacillus, but since they
are usually found in great numbers
ehe reader most frequently sees the
plural form OF the word-baoilli.
Typhoid -bacilli may live for long
time outside Of the human body. They
viii live in the soil. They do not hatch
until they are In just the right sur
RoUndings. The hur7an body furnishes
Ehis ideal condition End once they are
m, they multiply very rapidly. In the
lower two feet Of the small intestine
they develop most rapidly, forming in
ahe bowel wall thin fiat sheets OF
patches.
To keep the bacilli out Of the body 10
the problem. Cleanliness, in all that
H means, will help much, for the baciln
may be found on the fingers, are car.
E4ed by flies; and contaminated food
and water are frequent mediums thru
which the bacilli reach the human
body.
When the bacilli get into the body
and get their work started, then the
patient gets the fever.
The rise of temperature, at first, may
be noticed only in the afternoon. It
gradually rises until the patient Is SO
miserable and weak that he is forced
10 take his bed. The fever continues
and usually ranges from 1O2 degrees to
aO6 degrees. The datulency and tens
derness in the bowels are now quite
evident, caused by the irritation and
infection Of the bacilli in the lower
two feet of the small bowel These in
fected patches, in the third week, be-
come infiamed, swollen and begin to
slough, leaving ulcers 1t is during the
sloughing stage that hemorrhages
sometimes occur. Then, again, there
are times when the ulcers slough so
deeply that they perforate the bowel
and its contents escape into the abb
dominal cavity, causing, Of course, a
most serious condition, from which
recovery is extremely rare.
Other symptoms are generally gov,
erned by the amount of infection the
body has absorbed. These are: stupor.
dolirlum, picking at the bedding, hal
fluctuations bordering on insanity: in
some cases, rose spots are found scat.
tered over the trunk Of the body, espei
Oially on the abdomen; the brown
Aurred tongue with the flaming red or
strawberry edge; the excessive accu.
mulation Of coating on the gums and
sseth; and the foul, watery stools.
Let us bear In mind that many Of the
above symptoms, commonly known az
che typical typhoid symptoms, are
often absent. Even in severe cases,
there may be only one or two In evil
d0nns.
