STATE PLANS TO
CHECK MALARIA.

The State Board of Health is max
ing malarial survey in West Ten
nessee with the view of doing some
intensive work for the control of ma
laria in that part of the state next
spring.
DR.. DIN West reports a surprising
Indifference on the part of the people
directly concerned in the survey. He
wrote fifteen towns offering to make
the survey and to furnish the super
vision for the necessary control of
the work. He was much disappointed
when he received only two responses.
The work Of the board in rural san
itation is growing big, however. The
board is now working in Madison,
Monroe and Gibson counties, and will
begin work in overton county within
the next ten days. They are meeting
with a fine support in this work. Four
field men administered 1900 doses
of antityphoid vaccine last month

WHAT THE HIGHWAY COMMITS
SION is DOING.
(By the Secretary.)


The recent rains are not only APP
preciate by the farmers, but the road
builders. The work will go on with
much more ease.
]. c. Davis, Supervisor, was at
Stegall and other points Of the old
fifth district last Wednesday. The
people of the vicinity are full of inter-
est and welcome us in their midst.
L. B. Johnson, chairman of the
Commission has been over a part of
the roads of Benton and Corroll coun-
ties this week. He says we have them
skinned a country block for good
roads.
The parts ordered for our road ma
chinery have arrived and will soon be
at work with renewed energy.
Had you noticed that many of our
citizens come to town late in the af-
ternoon, attend to their business, and
are back home for an early supper.
Good roads.
Some of the road overseers have re-
ported to us that few of their men
are reluctant to work. The law asses
es' every man, between the ages of IS
and so years, road duty Of 10 days
work or a Communication tax Of $1,000
in.lieu thereof. If any refuses to work
when legally warned, we will be fore
ed to proceed against them for the
collection Of communication tax. We
are reluctant to believe that any citi-
zen of the good county of Henderson,
will, after due consideration, fail or
refuse to assist in the great road
movement. Many are working twice
their time; men are working who
are under road age; and many above
road age are at work and acting over
seers. Should we permit some to go
along without paying his communal
tion tax--the one shielded will look
upon us with contempt and regard us
as unjust stewards. Let US plead
with every man to do his full duty,
and in the end we will have road
system which will stand to the credit
of Henderson county.

A GOOD MOVEMENT.

1t is proposed by business man
and citizen that a mass meeting Of
the people of Lexington be held in
the courthouse on Wednesday night
of next week, in behalf of the girl OPP
orators of the Cumberland Telephone
& Telegraph Company, who are work
ing for the pittance Of about $1,000
per month, which represents their
board alone. 1t is the purpose of the
gentlemen who suggests the meeting,
that petition be made to the officials
Of the Cumberland Company, asking
that the pay of the local operators be
advanced to at least $4,000 per month.
1t is really a shame that these hard
working girls are not more adequate
" paid and it is hoped that our peo-
pie may be able TO so convince the
company. Make your arrangements
to attend the meeting and to take
part in q eommendable action.

The man who pastured his hogs on
spring oats as long as they lasted and
then put them on field of corn and
all the while fed them a small amount
of some cheap grains, if he turned
them onto a field of soy beans and
corn to finish for the market the cost
was reduced to a minimum. Septem-
Der is the logical time to finish hogs
forthe market-and remember the
break in the market came about one
month sooner than we anticipated.
Next to September is the spring
market. If you are planning to put
your hogs on the market in Deem

chances of low market.

Have you had your teeth X-rayed?
If you have no Photograph picture
of every tooth in your head, then, for
all you know to the contrary, the sap

strongly fortified organs
For the latest of medical discover

Gus ailments. All these ailments, ac-
cerding to the doctors, are Frequency
caused by root infection in the mouth.
And the worst of it is that your
teeth may not hurt you a bit; that
you may never have toothache; that
you may visit your dentist frequently
to keep the first small cavities prop
erly filled; that he may pronounce
your teeth in perfectly sound condi-
tion-and still there may be serious
and dangerous infection in one on
more of them. Often, in the effort to
save" teeth, a dentist puts crown
or bridge work over infected roots,
and thus, unseen and unknown, an
abscess may drain a way through the
bone and tissue until it causes serious
trouble in the body's weakest spot
This type of Infection" Dr. Henry

there are no symptoms which lirect
the patients attention to this con-

when they are told that they have
infected teeth and they must have a
certain number extracted if they wish
to recover from their particular ill

Therefore, says DR.. Cotton, any one
who has ever had any dentistry done
should have his teeth X-Ityed at
once. The dentist can be fooled. but
not the x-ray, In fact IN his eager
fess to keep his patients set of teeth
intact, the dentist not infrequently
preserves teeth with roots which are
literally the roots of disease and
which should be extracted at once
That is one reason why our Spartan
forebears had better teeth than We
because when one offended them they
plucked it out, or had the dentist 90
