INFLUENZA and
PNEUMONIA NOT
TO Be FEARED
Speaker at A. M. A. Meet Tells
of Success in Treating
Influenza.

New York, June 17.-1nfluenza and
pneumonia are no more to be feared
than a boil on the back of the neck,
according to DR.. Chas. H. Duncan, one
Of the founders of the volunteer hos
pital, who, in an address here before
the convention of the Allied Medical
association of America, described his
method Of combating Spanish influ-
enxa by means of "immunizing pat
lent to his own poison" Upon 246
patients i'll with pneumonia and influ-
enxa last winter, DR.. Duncan said he
said he had used the treatment with
out single death or any complica-
tons"
"A Briefly" the physician said, 81
take one drachm of mucous from the
infected area and pasteurize it in one
ounce of filtered water where it re-
mains several hours. One cubic cen
trimetre of this toxin, injected subcu-
taneously, will effect spontaneous
cure of Spanish influenza, pneumon-
ia, catarrh, or any similar localized
Infection. 1t will stop any cough,
except tuberculosis, inside Of "a
hours"
The doctor said he had been using
the method, which he calls "autother-
apy," for about 10 years and that it
now was widely accepted by allo-
paths, home-opaths and eclectic ply
sicians although it has not been au-
tl.orized by the American medical
association. He said it had been sue
cessfully tested on 5000 persons in
the New York in the street cleaning
department.
DR.. George F. Laidlaw, professor OF
the history of medicine and diagnosis
at Flower hospital, in discussing the
Duncan method, said that the dis
coverer 'has solved problem that
has been terminating in medicine for
two thousand years. DIR. Duncan's
work marks the conclusion of pasteur,
Koch and Wright and is decided
step forward in the regular develop
Ment of bacterial therapy."
DR.. Duncan said that by taking
the poison from boil and subjecting
it to his process, and injecting the
sterilzed product into a patient s
body lie not only cured him of the
boil, but rendered him immune against
q repetition of such Affections.
Similar results, he said had been OBJ
tanned in cases of mastoiditis, Eczema
and cer.am types of local veneral
diseases,

PORTUGUESE QUIT u. S.

Mexico City, Officials here have
been advised by the Mexican consulate
in San Francisco, Cal, that numer-
Gus Portuguese residents of the
United States, especially those in
California, are seeking admission to
Mexico where they hope to find work.
The Portuguese are skilled in vine
culture and in the manufacture of
wines and other beverages, but de-
mand for their services will cease
when prohibition goes into effect in
the United States.
Officials here point out that at
the present time there are more than
$4,000 Portuguese in the United
States and that is proposed to plant
colonies in the state of Durango,
Sinaloa and Navarit.

The HUN AT The
GAME OF SPYING

Washington, June 17.-Germany's
plan to place a spy with every unit OF
the tn American army failed chiefly be-
cause of the prompt action of the de;
partment of justice in arresting and
interning German aliens, the senate
military committee was told today by
BRIG. Gen. Marlborough Churchlll,
chief of the department of military
intelligence.
Explaining the work of his depart,

been sent into Germany through The
Hague and other points, as well as
directly through the German lines.
The army received much valuable
information from them, he added.

ONE REASON WHY WE NEED
A THEATRE BUILDING.

One of the reasons why there
should be erected in Pine Bluff a
theatre building sufficiently large to
bring to the citw some of the big
road attractions is this as
Pine Bluff owes it to the people
residing in the city and in the Pine
Bluff territory, as well as to those
who visit the city on business or
pleasure, to provide them with the
opportunity of witnessing the very
best theatrical productions presented
to theatre-goers of the progressive
cities.
This is just one reason. There arc
many others. About these more
anon.
In the meantime, every encourage
ments should be given the Chamber
of Commerce project for NEW thea
tire building.

HOW DRAGS MAINTAIN ROADS
Simple and inexpensive Device Well
Adapted for Producing Smooth
and Uniform Surface.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture1
The drag is a simple and inexpen-
sive device for maintaining certain
types of roads which when wet become
rutted under traffic and which become
firm on drying out. 1t is also well
adapted for producing smooth and
uniform surface on newly constructed
roads in which the material used for
surfacing Is earth, earthly gravel or
some similar material. 1t is essential
ly maintenance implement and its
use in construction is distinctly sec
ondary. Roads which are very rocky
or very sandy cannot be materially inn
proved by it's use.
Properly used at the right time the
road drag performs four distinct Of
fees. First, by moving at an angle TO
the travelled way 1t tends to produce or
preserve a crowned cross section. Sec
Ond, if used when the material of the
surface is not compact and hard, it
tends to reduce ruts and other irregu-
larities in the road by moving material

Third, when used after rain 1t ac-
CELEBRATES the drying out of the road
by spreading out puddles of water and
thus increasing the surfaces exposed
to evaporation. Fourth. If the surface
material is in slightly plastic state,
dragging smears over and partially
seals the so-called pores which nat
urally occur in earthly material. and
thus makes the road surface more or
less impervious to water. The advan-
tage of this smearing action of the
drag will be more readily understood
If sample of ordinary earth is ex-
amined under magnifying glass. Such
an examination will show that the
earth closely resembles a sponge or
honeycomb in structure, and the de-
STABILITY of closing the open pores
will be readily apparent.
If used improperly or at the wrong
time, the drag may do actual injury to
road. Dragging very dry road, for
example, serves to increase the guam
tity Of dust and may do additional

her from the grove. Solemnly he
danced with her.
Four times, with not the slightest
encouragement. she brought him
favor: four times in succession.
When the fourth came, "Look herel"
said George huskily "You going to
keep this up all night? What do you
mean by it?'
For an instant she seemed con-
fused. "That's what cotilIions are
for, aren't they?" she murmured.
"What do you mean: what they're
for?"

didn't feel terribly hurt with you for
getting angry about that!"
"Was there any other reason? Did
my telling you liked you have any
thing to do with it?"
She looked up gently and as George
met her eyes something exquisitely
touching yet queerly delightful gave
him catch in the throat. She looked
instantly away, and, turning, ran out
from the palm grove, where they
stood, to the dancing floor.
"Come on!" she cried. 'Lets

He followed her.
"See here-I-I-" he stammered.
"You mean Do you"
mo, no" she laughed. 'Let's
dancel"
He put his arm about her almost
TREMENDOUSLY and they began to waltz.
1t was happy dance for both of
them.
Christmas day is the children's, but
the holidays are youths dancing
time. The holidays belong to the
early twenties and the teens, home
from school and college. 1t Is the
livelfest time in life, the happiest of
the irresponsible times\in life. Moth
ers echo its happiness-nothing is
like mother who has a son home
from college, except another mother
with son home from college. Yet
they give up their sons to the daugh-
ters Of other mothers, and find it
proud rapture enough to be allowed
to sit and watch.
Thus Isabel watched George and
Lucy dancing as together they danced
away the holidays OF that year into
the past.
"They seem to get along better than
they did at first, those two children"
Fanny Minafer said, sittin. beside
her at the Sharons dance a week
after the Assembly. "They seemed to

some sort at first. At least George

on the other hand. the road is very wet

rather than diminished by dragging.
