DESCRIBES RACE SUICIDE IN
AFRICA.

London. June 16.-Frederick w. H.
Migeod fellow of the Royal Geogra-
phical Society, has Just returned from
two trips across equatorial Africa,
remarkable instance OF race suicide
The Gaboon area" said Migeod "is
becoming a vast graveyard for the
dying races Of Central Africa. For
some time the sands of Sahara have
been advancing southwark and there
has been a steady trek of native tribes
south and west into French territory
There they are held up by more Wig
orous coastal races and settle down
determined to die out

DISEASES OF THE MOUTH
APHTHOUS STOMATITIS

This is varity of catarrhal stom-
atitis characterized by the eruption
(breaking out) of one or more vesi-
cles (bumps) upon the edges of the
tongue, the cheek or lip which rap
idly passes into scores that are
slightly raised and surrounded by
yellowish-white bases with narrow
red borders. This disease Is most
common with children between the
ages of and 6 years but it is also
some time seen in adults. It is
usually seen in the Spring and Aut-
umn but may occur at any season
1t has many causes, among which
are malnutrition, tuberculosis, teeth
hing, persistent and stubborn gas
trio enteric disorders, anemia and a
few others. The exciting causes are
supposed to be certain bacterial or
toxic substances, though no special
parasite has yet been isolated.
The herpetic visIcles (bumps)
soon rupture leaving the ulcers
(sores) as described before. Some
times they are single or there may
be as many as 20 in number in
sizes varying from pin head to peas
size, inside the lips and along the
tongues edge. Sometimes inside the
cheek near the edges of the back
teeth the ulcers are so sore that al
most any motion of the affected parts
cause sharp burning pain which of
course make eating difficult There
is an increase flow of secretion of
the mouth, the breath is affected
but not always offensive. There may
be a slight fever, coated tongue,
or diarrhea, an irritab-
ility, loss of appetite together with
the symptoms of any other disease
that may be had at that time.

ESTIMATES ON
STREET PAVING
City Council and Chamber of
Commerce to Meet and Con-
slider Figures

Submitting estimates on the pro-
posed paving of two blocks on Miner
av.. ON plans and specifications made
two years ago, H. +. French, civil en-
gineer Of BaraboO, who has done work
for the city of Ladysmith, gives the
following figures as the probable cost
of the work. The first column repre-
Scnts cost per square yard, the second
column cost per lineal foot:
CrCOSOte $3.50 S12.5l
Brick, block. finch. SIS. 100
Brick block, 3-mch....-.. 4.20 800
Reinforced concrete. 3.20 1.39
Gin curb and 1S-in. gutter.....-.. 100
Excavation Of Suh-grade go
Based on the above estimates the to-
tai costs of the different pavements
are as follows for the two blocks on
Miner-av., including street intersec-
ton:
CreOSOte block ,OlU
Brick block, 4i-nch. 700
Brick block. 3-inch.. $17 $50
Reinforced concrete ..-..----..-----..--S l3,9OU
The above total costs are exclusive
of the lighting system. but includes the
renewal of the present old curb.
The cost for reinforced concrete is
based upon securing the fine and coarse
aggregate in the city gravel pits, which
appeared suitable to Mr.. French when
he examined the gravel last summer,
with possibly some grading.
County Highway Commissioner Phil
Koehler who conferred with the state
highway commission while in Madison
last week, reported to Mayor Luell
that the commission will take up the
matter of paying part of the cost OF
paving included in the state highway
here with the city council.
The city council and the Ladysmith
Chamber of Commerce will hold joint
meeting next Tuesday evening for fur
ther consideration of the paving ques-
ton.
In letter to e. NJ. WOrden, George
Ashman, Appleton contractor, says
that brick and concrete are the only
paving materials being considered there
at present, and are the best for bus
mess streets in his opinion, though
that city has asphalt and creosofe
block paving besides.
