The Pulaskian., 1921-06-02

 board again commencing July l, when she will teach her fifth term of school at Holly Springs. Miss Fletcher is lady of some literary attainments. She wrote the famous Nimrod correspondence of the Fourche River Valley News for her father and 1 would not be surprised if after July first some more of her interesting letters appear in the Pu- Iaskian. She is a great admirer of Zane Grey's stories, and as she did not want to wait whole year to read his latest she gave me her subscrip- ton for the Country Gentleman to be sent to Ferndale for her.
 I looked into the mail box of Lawyer J. W. Gates as I passed and saw therein birds nest with three pretty blue eggs in it.
 I took dinner with Mrs. C. M. White and family. When l was there before, they were fixing up box of things for Miss Florence, who mar ried soldier and is now living in San Antonio, Tex. They got a let tier from her while l was there, ac- knowledging receipt of the box. She said it was almost impossible for her to keep her soldier husband from eat ing the peaches, preserves and other goodies right then, but she said, No, we will keep them awhile longer, but we will eat the butter" It was as fresh as when made, she said, and s.Oh, how good" but she said they could not buy any such butter there. They would subscribe for the Pulas- kian, but he is expecting a discharge right away, and they don't know where they will be. I'll bet that box of good things to eat will bring them back to old Arkansas, where good things to eat grow wild in the woods.
 Miss Sarah will be home Tuesday, June 9th.
 The grass on the range looks like the fall of a drouthy year. It is short and dry and Drowned by the numerous late frosts.
 Dr. Mason, superintendent of the County Hospital, says that tubercu- losis is as catching as the measles or the whooping cough, and that if a consumptive coughs in your face two or three feet away you are liable to catch 1t from him, for when he coughs he expels millions of the germs in the air. You are also in great danger of catching it if you drink out of the same dipper or glass after him. Yet though the state takes care of few of the curable cases at Bonneville, old, advanced and dan gerous cases from which most of the contagion is spread are left uncared for to roam at large and spread the disease to thousands of others. l be- lieve l saw a statement in a daily paper few days ago to the effect that there are 30,000 deaths year in Arkansas from this dread disease. If something is not done to stop its ravages you may be one of the vic tlms next year.
 Dr. Thames, city health officer, said should not have used such strong language about the bed bugs last week as 1 did. He said health authorities only accuse it of carrying one disease to its victims, and that is tuberculosis, or consumption. We'll, said, then you ought to do some thing to rid Little Rock hotels of the yermin. There is no danger there, he said, for consumptives are not all lowed to stop at the hotels, and be- sides have no authority to enter a hotel room and search it for the yer min.
 Dr. Garrison, state health officer. said he had the authority to examine the hotel rooms and close them if encessary to get rid of bed bugs, but that the last legislature took away from him his only hotel inspector so he can do nothing until the nexl legislature meets and makes an ap propriation for hotel inspection Truly, nice state of affairs. Should n't the lives of the people come frs with the law makers? Isn't that what we have government for, to protec our lives first and cur property next? Or IS government only for the graft CTS?
