TYPHOID AND HOOKWORM.
Dr. A. v ksebIer Pushing the Work and
Much Good Accomplished

Today DR.. A. v. Keebler will admin
lister the third treatment OF typhoid
vaccine to those who report for the
tree treatment Ia Crossville. The
work was done at Crab Orchard and
Pleasant Hill Monday and Tuesday.
Out of 129 cases treated the first
time In Crossville lis reported for the
second treatment. At Grab Orchard
81 out of 65 reported for second treat
ment. At Pleasant Hill all reported
for second treatment. The number
there, however, was smaller than was
expected-only 28.
DR.. Keebler treated AZ new cases at
Crossvlle last week and turned some
persons away because vaccine gave
out. At Crab Orchard he had 30 new
cases and at Pleasant Hill IT, No
more first doses will be administered.
DR.. Keebler is now giving special
attention to Hookworm and he has thus
far found very large percentage of
cases examined infected, but he has
selected most of the cases thus far. In
the future he will examine all comers.
As IN the case OF the typhoid treat.
ment it is free. DR.. Keebler expects
to visit many of the rural schools in
order to make personal inspection for
hookworm. Thus far he has found
some very severe cases and that has
led him to feel that this is very ripe
field in wi lch to push his labors.
This worl seem to be an excellent
time for tuc military company to be
treated for typhoid. 1t may be defer
red until TIE company has been called
to drill hee dquarters for if the treat
ment should be started the company
might be called away before the treat
ment would be completed and by that
means some of the effort become q
wasted one.
The work that DR.. Keebler has done
and is now dong is bearing very rich
fruits for the small investment. The
county court never did a wiser or more
humane thing than to make the neces
sary APPROPRIATION of $500 for this
work.

MAY DEVELOP MINE.
Owners Looking After the Coal DeveI-
opment Near Peavine.

Last week Clinton b. Roe. promi-
nent New York lawyer, arrived at
Peavine and was looking after the
splendid vein of coal recently opened
on the property of MIR. Price.
Mr.. Roe has a large interest in the
cumberland Lumber Company holdings
Of over a, 900 acres and is here relative
to developing the property as coal
proposition as we'll as tor lumber. Mr..
Price has made several openings on his
80 acres and 10 each instance splen.
did vein of coal is shown. From the
lay of the country the coal is thought
to underlie both the property of the
Cumberland Lumber Company and the
holdings of the Phillipsburg Land Com
ppany. 1t Is rumored that Mr.. Coe
and his associates are seeking to pur-
chase the Price land and it Is said the
deal would have been closed before
now but that Mr.. Price holds his 80
acres at $8. 900, which is more than the
Zoe people wish tc pay for 1t IN its
undeVol0peO cOnOlClCn.
It Is probable that the deal may be
closed while Mr.. oe Is here with the
view to making extensive develop
ments. If the property is developed
that will necessitate the building OF
about three miles more of railroad Z.
E. White, as manager for the Cumber-
land Lumber Company. has been turn
ing out many thousand feet of lumber
from the property for the past few
years and it is due to him that the coal
interest was brought to the front. He
has been very much enthused over the
outlook for the development Of splen-
did coal property and has made several
trips to the east to interest his people.
The coming of Mr.. Roe ID an indication
that something of marked Importance
10 liable to result. Should that prove
to be the case. the county will be
greatly benefited by the persistency
and determination with which Mr..
White has hung on to an enterprise
when business conditions were far
from being so favorable as at present.
An oil we'll is now being sunk near
Peavine that Is down nearly 500 feet.
1t is the purpose of the developing
company to 60 to depth OF 1000 feet
or more, If that becomes necessary to
make thorough test of the oil propo-
sition in that region.

ted TO give maximum service during the
war wa told by Fairfax Harrison, chair
man of the Railroad War Board, IN a

The statement covers the first four
months Of the boards existence. II
says:
"All Of the I,75O,OOO persons en-
ployed by the railroads have been
welded into one loyal army. Coordina-

sive use of every mile OF track and
every piece Of equipment in the coun-
try.
"Car shortage on August had been
reduced 20 per cent. Approximately
10000 600 miles Of train service year
has been saved by cutting out all pas

India Seeks Pledge
From Mrs. Besant
Will Recommend Removal Of
Restrictions if Theosophists
Refrain From Political
Agitation

LONDON, Sept. 9.-The Indian gov
eminent has announced that II was
prepared TO recommend the removal o.
the restrictions placed upon the activi-
ties Of Mrs. Annie Besant, head of the
Theosophical Society. and her CO.
workers, II il was satisfied that they
would abstain from unconstitutional
and violent methods OF political agita-
ton during the remainder OF the war,
says an Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Bombay to-day.
1t was stated by Austen Chamberlain,
Secretary for India, in the House OF
Commons, on July ~ last. that the
government Of Madras, whore Mrs.
Besant then was, had made an offer
somewhat similar to that now outlined,
but that Mrs. Besant had declined the
concession, on the ground that II was
impossible TO separate her theosophical
and political work. For alleged preach
ing of revolt in India, Mrs. Besant was
expelled from the Presidency of Bonn
bav last year, forbidden 10 lecture or

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Sept 9.-Presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson made an unex-
pectcd call at this port to-day on board
the Presidential yacht Msyhower,
motored along the picturesque north
shore for two hours with Colonel and
Mrs. +. NJ. House and tonight dincd
on board the yacht with Colonel and
Mrs. House. Colonel House has a sum-
mer home at Coolidge Point, Magnolia.
While the MayAower was familiar in
these waters during the administration
OF President Taft, this is the first visit
here with President Wilson on board,
and his arrival was surprise to the
north shore summer colony. The yacht
slipped into the harbor this afternoon
unostentatiously and dropped anchor
opposite the estate OF John Hays Ham
mond.
In few minutes President and Mrs.
Wilson came ashore in launch at the
public landing, where Colonel and Mrs.
House were on hand to greet them.
There were no other persons near, ex-
cept the caretaker Of the wharf, who
stared in open-mouthed establishment
as he recognized the President, and
furtively rubbed his rough chin as if he
regretted not having taken time to
shave and spruce up.
Three automobiles were in readiness
at the landing, two of them belonging
to Colonel House and the other 10 a

Service men who came ashore with the
President took the third one. The
party went through the city almost un-
recognized. The few persons who did
catch glimpse of the President were
so surprised that there was almost no
demonstration.
The Mayfower came here from New
York, where President and Mrs. Wilson
boarded her yesterday morning. II was
said then that the President had
planned to take cruise OF few days,
keeping in touch with his executive
Offices.
Colonel and Mrs. House came ashore
after a stay of five hours with the
President and Mrs. Wilson. The colo
mel, who is known as a close personal
friend and adviser of Mr.. Wilson, and
whose visit to various European cap
itals some time ago gave rise TO reports
that he had gone abroad in a contiden-
tial capacity for the President, reiter-
sted upon landing that the call was
purely of social nature.
"You may take my unqualified word
for it," he said, that there is abso-
lutely no political or international sig
nificance TO be attached to the Presi-
dents visit at this time. II is merely a
social call The President is taking a
rest, and | am very happy to be given
an opportunity to entertain him. We
