type, and there have been very
few deaths.
The law prescribes a penalty j
of not less than $10 nor more
than $100 fine, and thirty days
imprisonment, or both, for the
failure of any physician to re
port communicable diseases to
the proper authorities. The
State Board has just advised a
certain county health officer to
cause the arrest of a physician
who is reported to have been
failing to report such cases.
League Players Coming.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Feb. 18.—West
End park, where many a fast
game of base ball was played
during the years Little Rock
was represented in the Southern
League, will blossom forth with
Southern League players in
June. For a whole week the
Memphis team will take the
part of a home tean^, meeting
two other teams for three games
each. The teams will not be
known until the schedule com
mittee has made its report.
The second w’eek of June is to
be a gala one in Little Rock, a
number of state conventions be
ing held here at that time. As
the crowd is to be a very large
one, Pres. W. M. Kavanaugh
was appealed to, for a crowd
must have baseball. He has
about completed arrangements
to have six Southern league
games transferred to Little
Rock, and as there is no objec
tion on the part of team owners,
who are willing to come to a big
crowd, the games are certain.
Disease Cures Disease.
Probably tbe most important
medical discovery of recent
years is that just announced,
that the germ of tuberculosis
kills the germs of all other dis
eases.
If this should be found to be
universally true, it will trans
form medical opinion and prac
tice. It may even transform
the great white plague into a
blessing. It has now been dem
onstrated that the tuberculosis j
bacilli can be controlled by pure
air and good food; and if it
can be used as an enemy of j
other germs it is not impossible
that the time may come when it j
ivill be cultivated rather than
feared.
It was Dr. Oliver Wendell J
Holmes who said that the sur
est way to live to a healthy old
age wa^to contract some incur
able. -d^ase and then take good
care of yourself.
“Every boil,” according to an
old saying, “is worth five dol
lars.”
Typhoid victims are said to
come out in far better general
health than they enjoyed before
taking.
Who knows but that the med
ical profession may soon be pre
scribing and administering dis
ease germs instead of pills?
Who can Have forgotten the
famous old doctor who threw
his patient, of whatever ail
ment, into fits, because he could
always cure fits?— Memphis

ALL WRONG.

Newport Citizens.
W' —«
Look for the cause of back
ache.
To be cured you must know
the cause.
If it’s weak kidneys
You must set the kidneys
working right.
A resident of this vicinity
shows you how.
Mrs. E. M. Baker, W. Pleas
ant street, Searcy, Arkansas,
says: “Kidney trouble fasten
ed itself upon me in a mysteri
ous way and I ran down so rapid
ly that I was in bad shape be
fore I realized it. I had back
ache and dizzy spells. The kid
ney secretions were also in bad
shape and my joints swelled. I
used Doan’s Kidney Pills and
they soon gave me relief. I will
ingly confirm my former en
dorsement of this remedy.”
Price, 50c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
—get Doan’s Kidney Pills— the
same that Mrs. Baker had. Fos

NEAR DEATH
BY SMOTHERING
Bat Husband, With Aid of Cardui,
Effects Her Deliverance.
Draper, N C.—Mrs. Helen Dalton, ol
this place, says: “I suffered for years,
with pains in my left side, and would
often almost smother to death.
Medicines patched me up for awhile
but then 1 would get worse again. Final
ly, my husband decided he wanted me to
fry Cardui, the wcman’s tonic, so he
bought me a bottle and I began using it
It did me more good than aB the medi
cines 1 had taken.
I have induced many of my friends to
try Cardui, and they all sa/they have
been benefited by its use. There never
has been, and never will be, a medicine
to compare with Cardui. 1 believe it is i
i good medicine for all womanly trou- I
bles.”
For over 50 years, Cardui has been re
lieving woman’s sufferings and building :
weak women up to health and strength.
If you are a woman, give it a fair trial.
It should surely help you, as it has a
million others.
Get a bottle of Cardui to-day.
