MOST VALUABLE BOOK

The Medico Laurentian Museum
of Florence, Italy, has in it's posses
sion what is said to be the most
valuable book in the world. This
book is called the Codex Amiatinus
and is pronounced by some scholars
to be the oldest and by all odds the
best ancient Latin manuscript of the
Bible. The work is believed to have
been copied from the translation by
st. Jerome, which he made direct
from the early Greek and Hebrew
scripts. Its origin is placed in the
Ninth century, and is thought to
have been the handiwork of English
priests.
Only recently has the true char
acter of this book become known,
For many years 1t was owned by
the Monte Amiati Convent, without
anyone being aware of its true value.
OF course, it was known to be of
great antiquity and was highly priced
on that account. But it remained for
Italian scholars to discover its real
significance. The work is now price
less. 1t can only be examined by
virtue of a special permit from the
highest Italian authority.

GERMS OF TETANUS
FOUND in VACCINE
MEMPHIS HEALTH DEPARTMENT
NOTIFIES GOVERNMENT OFFIC-
iALS-GENERAL WARNING is
ISSUED

Memphis, Oct 31-The Memphis
department of health, after an in
vestigation which has covered more
than two weeks, yesterday issued a
warning against the use of any vac
cine points now in Memphis drug
stores
There have been five deaths from
tetanus, or lockjaw, in Memphis with
in the past six weeks.
The infection of tetanus in two of
these cases has been positively trac-
ed to vaccine for smallpox.
The facts discovered by DR.. j. l..
Andrews, head of the department of
health, and DIR. Mantell the city
bacteriologist. have been reported to
government officials at Washington
and officers of b the Public Health
Service and secret service men have
already begun an investigation in an
effort to trace the origin of the vac
cine points and discover the source
from which they were infected with
the germs of the deadly tetanus.
The situation is considered so
serious that the health department
has notified all physicians in Memphis
and Shelby county not to vaccinate
any person for smallpox prevention
for the present or until further or
ders are issued
All druggists have been ordered
not to sell single vaccine point
from the stock now on hand and
manufacturers from whom the points
were purchased by the local druggists
have been notified that no more of
hn T.
Memphis until the government COM
pletes it's investigation.
Dr. Andrews yesterday could not
hazard an opinion as to the source
of the tetanus germs found in some
of the vaccine points on sale in the
city.
1t may be surmised that alien
enemies of this country have en-
deavored to send death in a fearful
form to thousands of the soldiers
who are in the army camps in this
country as all of the men now in
the cantonements are vaccinated for
the prevention of smallpox and in
noculated with typhoid serum soon
after they arrive in their camps.
1t seems scarcely conceivable that
the tetanus germs could have come
In contact with the vaccine in the
drug manufacturing plants by acct
dent.
Dr. Andrews considers the situa-
ton so serious. indeed, that he has
directed all physicians who have
vaccinated any persons within the
past three weeks to at once see
that such persons are innoculated
with an antitetanus serum.
He announced yesterday that the
city health department will innocu-
late any person with the serum who
is unable to pay the cost of having
it done by their family physician.
Well authenticated stories have
been printed showing that the Ger
mans abroad have attempted to
poison whole communities; that they
have deliberately exposed British and
French prisoners to infection of tu-
berculosis in their prison camps.
1t has also been stated that a United
States consulate was once used in
neutral country for the storing of
tubes containing poisonous baccili
These stories have been doubted
generally in this country, but this
discovery tends to show that there
may have been some truth in them

LUCY H. REPORTED
SAVED At TER WRECK

That the schooner Lucy H. of PEN
sacola has been salvaged and taken
to a port in the West Indies was the
report received in Pensacola yester-
day, which, though unofficial, is be-
lieved to beauthentic. The schooner,
it will be remembered was wrecked
some time ago, on her initial voyage,
after being repaired subsequent to
damage received in the October
storm.
Unusual interest attaches to the
activity of the vessel for during the
past year she has been the center of
one of the most complicated legal
proceedings ever to come before the
federal court for this district. Charg-
ed with violation of neutrality, the
owners of the ship and the captain
were arrested, and the vessel confis-
Gated by the United States.
The owners and captain pleaded
guilty to the criminal charge, and
the United States won in the civil ac-
ton. About the time that the civil
case was settled, the vessel was
wrecked and the entire claim dis
missed for 5000, which was believed
to be a just valuation on the ship in
her damaged condition.

CANNING CLUBS TO

Pensacola, will meet Friday night at
Z o'clock to organize their patrol and
to prepare for the summer activities.
Last Friday night the troop adopt
ed constitution and bylaws for the
troop, which will enable the troop to
do a more successful work than in
the past.
Several of the scouts of the old or
ganization are coming back as active
scouts. With these old and exper
enced scouts back into the work, the
troop should grow rapidly in all lines
of scout work. The scout master
hopes in a week or two to announce
a demonstration team 20 be com
posed of the scouts that make the
best showing in scout work. 1t is
considered an honor to be placed on

METROPOLITAN
SHOWS ENDS
QUARTERS HERE

At ten o'clock yesterday morning
in a special train of ten cars, the
Metropolitan shows left Pensacola
for an engagement in Mobile during
the carnival celebration in that city.
After showing in Mobile the aggre-
cation will go to Meridian for a short
engagement.
Since early last fall the shows have
been in winter quarters in the Mel
lin warehouse in Pensacola, and it is
understood that the managers are
well pleased with Pensacola as an
ideal place to spend the cold months,
when the shows are obliged to aban-
don the road.
The coming of the Metropolitan
shows increases Pensacola's claim as
wintering place, where the mild
climate makes the danger to the ami
mails of little moment. When the
Sheesley shows selected Pensacola
for the winter of 1916, and again in
1917 this popularity as an asset i'm
mediately became apparent.
During their stay in the city the
Metropolitan shows attracted much
favorable attention. New equipment
was purchased during the stay of the
shows in Pensacola and the outfit
was renovated thoroughly before
starting another season.

Temporary relief from the bad con-
dition of the sidewalk on the south
side of Gregory street at the corner
of Gregory and Palafox streets is be-
ing made by digging shallow ditch
along one side and covering it with
woodwork so as to prevent anyone
stepping into it. The slope Of the
walk will allow the water which has
hitherto made the walk impossible, to
drain off Immediately.
A slight accident occurred Thurs
day morning at the corner of Chase
and Palafox streets when the front
axle of a wood wagon suddenly broke,
spraddling the wheels, and listing the
cart down by the head. No one was
hurt, though a great load of wood
nearly feel over the driver, who was
sitting Immediately in front.
Citizens who may leave their
homes to mingle with the crowds
during the next several days are
cautioned by the police department
to see that all doors are carefully
locked and windows securely fasten-
ed on account of the probable activity
of burglars and sneak thieves. The
fire department also suggests that, in
leaving houses, care should be taken
that all CRATES are carefully guard
ed, as many a residence is lost be-
cause of this type of carelessness.

about four hours late, or at 9:5E
o'clock.
All trains arriving in the city yes
terday brought large numbers to re-
main for the carnival festivities. Tht
platforms at the passenger depots
were crowded with incoming friend:
and their entertainers upon the arriv'
al of every train. The crowds give
promise of equalling those of any

It's simply glorious. Ali how COM

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so &C
tive as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles,
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to the bowels. The bowels
must be kept active. This is import
ant at all ages, but never so much as
at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug store
