DENGUE FEVER PREVAILS
IN LOUISIANA.

|
Owing to the appearance of
Dengue fever at various points
in Louisiana, the State Board of
Health has sent out the follow
ing information about the dis
ease, viz:
! Dengue fever goes by a num-
ber of names, the most common
of which are breakbone or dandy
fever, the former on account of
the severe pains and the latter
because of the gait. 1t is quite
prevalent in tropical countries
and often visits the southern
states. prevailing now in parts Of
Florida and Texas. and just now
appearing in Louisiana.
Definition: 1t is an acute, in
fections disease. accompanied by
severe pain, often an eruption.
and especially a fever curve with
a characteristic remission or in
PERMISSION. The disease is self
limited and is, rarely fatal.
Cause. The etiology of Den
que is unknown. The etiologi-
cal agent is prevalent in the.
blood stream of persons suffer
ing from Dengue.
Transmission: A mosquito Of
the genus Culex has been most
frequently implicated. 1t is also
claimed that species of Aedes
(stegomyia) may also transmit
the disease.
Incubation: The period of in
cubation as determined by ex-
perimental incubation has been
found to be from three to six
days. Longer and shorter peri
ods have been observed.
Communicability: During the
febrile period. probably about
three to five days.
Diagnosis: Dengue must bel
differentiated from influenza and
malaria.
Influenza: Catarrh symptoms
usually absent in Dengue fever.
Pains of influenza less definite
and severe.
Malaria: Eruption, absence of |
chill, and general course togeth- |
er with the absence of the pias-
modia are sufficient to distinguish
Dengue fever from malaria.
Prophylaxis:: CD Recognition
Of disease and isolation of patientl
under mosquito bar or in a well
screened room during the infec-
tious period, which is probably |
as long as the fever lasts.
(2) There is no disinfection
aside from such as may be used
to destroy infected mosquitoes
in the room of the patient. The
period during which mosquitoes
may remain Infectious is not
known, but the incubation period
in the insect is very probably be-
tween three and four days.

The Blues

The "blues" is a subject which de-
serves the biggest attention. I mean
people should give their biggest at
tention to finding a way for getting
rid of this detestibie pest. We come
in contact with many 'blues," and I,
in my own condescending manner,
will let you know a few.
A "blues" common to school chill
dren is the Monday morning %lues."
No one has studied. No one knows
his lessons, but worse still, five more
days before another holiday. This
'tblues" has an insagactous effect on
one, so sleep late Sunday. Another
'blues" is the "crazy blues" very
common among boys. This is caused
by his whole desire, his love, his sup
rene thought, his degenerate fance,
or in plain language his girl gives
him the "high foot" He speaks to
no one. His heart is sad. He has
those "crazy blues.".
HE can't sleep at night,
He can't eat a bite,
For the girl he loves
Don't treat him right"
Beware girls! treat no boy Ill
such a dogmatic fashion.
The next blues on The program is
the "broke blues" When a fellow
gets this 'Tblues," he is broke, busted
and disguised, and he can't even
leave home for fear re will meet
some young lassie, who Graves

BACKWARD TURN BACKWARD

The Hospital Auxiliary will give a
"Get Young" Party Tuesday night
in the vacant store room next to
Mabry's Grocery store. The object of
the party is to raise funds to reduce
the hospital debt, which has been as
sumed by the Auxiliary, and they
propose to give one of the most
unique parties ever given in Able
vile. There will be no entrance
charge, but a supper will be n of
the, features of the evening and a
charge of rs cents a plate will be
made for this. And a charge will be
made if you wish to have your for
tune, told at a booth for this pur-
pose. Aside from all Of this, the skits
will be free, and they will be worth
while.
The Carolina S%yncopators will
furnish the music for the occasion,
and Maj. j. D. Fulp will be toast
master and master Of ceremonies.
Dutch Cleanser girls will serve the
supper. Aunt Jemima will give some
of her stunts and IL brownies will
furnish some entertainment. There
will be various numbers on the pro-
gram Of unusual interest and the
people of Abbeville will make no
mistake if they attend this party.

Eskimo pie" When he gets these
'fblues" he is a bit wrought up with
an unnerved feeling Of downcast
lassitude.
The bluest "blues'' Of all the
"blues' is the 'boI weevl blues"
This blues needs no description, but
for fear some secret millionaire
might reside thither, I will pause a
bit on it. This "blues," which every
body has, is caused by a little bug.
This little bug eats up the cotton.
and the girls for fear they will get
mo clothes, get these "blues." This is
the most melodramatic blues we
have.
But the "blues" we all love are
the wang, Wang" Wabash"
Dangerous" and Railroad"
In conclusion I say for the benefit
of the soda fountain and every
body else, keep those alcoholic
blues in full acceleration."

Character Sketch Of Guinevere

Character Sketch of Guinevere
Guinevere, King Arthur's wife,
loved Lancelot. This shows Guinevere
to be a deceitful, false, misleading,
disappointing, ensnaring, treacher-
Gus, deluding, beguiling, defrauding
and frustrating creature.
Still, a woman like this makes in
teresting reading, she is the life of
the story, she makes it poppy and
snappy. We like to read about wo-
men of this sort even if we wouldn't
like to live their lives.
We could forgive Guinevere, even
if she did hoodwink Arthur. We can
tell from the story that Guinevere
was a nonconformist. She couldn't
stand fixed customs. So, when she
had to live in the eternal goodness,
benevolence, excellence virtue,
kindness, beneficence of Arthur's
Court, she stood it as long as pos
sible and then revofted.
Guinevere is like the girl of to-
day. She beguiles innocent young
sters into taking her as their idol and
after gathering a string Of suckers
fit for a meat market, she leaves
them in the lurch. Of course, Guine-
we're did it on a large scale and fur
nished news for the mistresses over
their cups Of tea and gossip for the
servants over the back fence.

ABBEVILLE TAKES
SECOND CAME
ond Game Wednesday Afternoon
Game Wednesday Afternoon
By Ninth Inning Rally

Fighting valiantly to make a four
run lead hold good from the fourth
inning through the ninth, but fight
ing all in vain, the Greenwood Won
ders went down to defeat before the
Abbevlle boys Wednesday after
noon on Rosenberg ct al. field by a
score Of seven to six.
The Greenwood boys apparently
won the game in the fourth inning
when they tailed four runs on er-
rors such as one base hit being good
for a home run, etc. Some of the Alb
beville fans, not familiar with the
hidden strength of their local high
school team, had left the field when
the ninth inning came about. It was
in this final inning that Abbeville
won the game, making five scores on
hits and errors contributed by
Greenwood's infeld.
Stuart, twirler for Greenwood,
was good, very good, and it was not
his fault that the game was lost. He
received very good support until the
ninth when practically his whole in
field went up, up, up in the air. The
r%oistering rooters for Abbeville can
be given a part of the credit for this
game being won by their team. They
never let up and when the final
chance came to either tie things up,
or win a game, they were there with
the good to produce such psychology
cal effects on the Greenwood players
that they really went up in the air.
Allen Long for Abbeville, off a bit
in his hitting, played mis- usual good
game at first sack making 18 put.
outs during the game. Billy pitched
a very good game to have worked
so much lately and with a sore
arm. Only four clean hits were
made off him, and the rest of the
damage was due to bunglIng errors
Roche actually missed a fly in center
a thing he was never known to dc
before.
Attempts are being made to ar
range a game here next week, but
the attendance of the high schoo,
games is 80 small that the high team
cannot raise sufficient money to pay
a teams expenses to come to Able
vile.
