Explains Turtle Serum.
New York, July 10.—Dr. R.
0. Ramband of New York city,
medical director of the institute
operating the Friedmann pro
cess for the treatment of tuber
culosis, announced today that
the “vacine consists of a homo
geneous emulsion of live and vir
ulent tuberculosis germs in dis
tilled water.
The germ was isolated several
years ago from a turtle and
maintained ever since by trans
planting on culture media, ac
cording to the usual procedure.
The vacine is administered to
patients in doses of from cubic
centimeters, 0.10 to cubic centi
meters 0.150 at intervals of trom
four to six weeks.
“Injections are made intra
venously in the case of joint tu
berculosis,” he says. “Any phy
sician in good standing is wel
come to familiarize himself with
the details concerning the ad
ministration of the treatment,
that he may be able to use it
principally on his own patients.”
Savior Of Lives Modest Hero.
Little Rock, July 10.—A mod
est young hero is W. M. Mc
cloy, the Argenta man who on
the Fourth of July, at the risk
of his own life, saved a Renton
mail from drowning in the Sa
line river near Benton. This
was the third person he has
saved from drowning and his
friends say they will bring the
matter to the attention of the
Carnegie Hero Commission.
“There wasn’t, anything to it,”
■-aid Mr. McCloy yesterday,when
a Gazette reporter sought to get
the young hero to tell the story
of the drowning. “I just saw the
man in the water and there did
not seem to be anyone else go
ing to help him. I’m a good
swimmer and you know I could
not stand still on the bank and
see him drown. So I jumped in
and pulled him out. That is all
there was to it. Anyone would
do the same thing.”
Incidentally Mr. McCloy, who
has been a resident of Argenta
for years, changed his base of
operations yesterday. Since he
was a young boy he has been in
the employ of E. O. Manees. who
conducts a dry goods store in
1 Argenta. Yesterday he began

< Guarding Against Smallpox.
. At a meeting Wednesday
mo ruing the city hoard of health
ssi ied an order to Manager Lan
s of the Gem Theater order
ing him to close up his show
place temporarily, until danger
of the spread of smallpox is pass- ,
ed, and the order will be com-j
plied with.
There will be no show tonight
and it may be a week before
there is another picture show in
Batesville. It might be longer1
than that, but a member of the
board of health said this morn
ing that he thought if there were
no new eases within the next
week or ten days there would be
no reason to longer keep the a
musement house closed.
It has been exactly seven days
since a new case of smallpox !
has been reported, and all those
who have it, or who are known
to have been exposed to it. are
quarantined.—Batesville Guard.

CHARM HARD TO ANALYZE

that charm sometimes drifts down, ,
unawares, a thing ephemeral, a gift

but I’ve never been able to say Just 1

LESSON FROM THE PROFESSOR
Old Gentleman Waa Perfectly Con
vinced That the Youngster Was
Competent to Qtve It.
*n>e old gentleman wondered where
the young couple had got to. for Ik
was getting lata. Ha rather suspaot

garden, eo he wended hla steps ta
feat direction. He soon oame aeroea
fee young people, aad found them la
U moot interesting attitude. The
young man had the fair girt clasped
In both his arms, and was kissing her
as If ho hadn't tasted such a dainty
for at least Are minutes.
The old gentleman watched the
eeeulatory performance to the finish—•
which he found to be somewhat weary
work—and then made his presence
known.
“Isn't It very late for you young
people to be out?" he said.
“It Is—Is rather, pa,” faltered the
fair girl; “but—but Mr. Popple has
been glv—giving me a lesson In as—
astronomy.”
"My stars!” ejaculated the old gen
tleman. "He has, and no mistake! I
myself saw him teaching you how the

Then the young couple looked 90

Poet’s Memory Lives.
The saying “Christmas comes bat
enee a year” Is attributed to Thomas
Tusser, a medieval poet (1624-1680),
who sepm* to have been strong on
epigrams. The same idea may bare
occurred to others, bnt Tueear gave
H expression. He was ctaaeed as an
agricultural poet, partly because he
had not much education end partly
because he treated utmpie tfcemee.
still he andereteed tn a plain and
■^T*. way. Tueper had an ear tor
music, and served fa order as chor
ister in aosne churches of hts day.
Hie first publication was entitled “A
Hundred Good Points of Husband
rle." and later he published “A Hun
dred Good Points of Hnabandrt* Irate
ly Married Unto a Hundred Good
Points of Housewtfery,” and still latet
this was amplified Into “Tlve Hun
dred Good Points of Husbandry Unlb
ed to as Many of Good Housewifery,v
Reprints of ftiese boks are still e»
taut with an autobiography of the an

critical poet, characterized Tusser as
“a good, honest, homely, useful old
rhymster.” Some of Tusser's phrases
liave passed into proverbs.
Looking to the Future.
The beautiful lady consulted her
ittorney, and was received with bows
uid smiles.
“I am glad to tell you.” said the
egal gentleman, ' that your breach

"That »uits me,” declared the beau

Learning How to Write.

“My little boy tired very quickly
when I tried to teach him to write, so
I gave him a cap, n bag and whistle
and told him to play letter carrier.

ro Check March of Boll Weevil, j j
Washington, Mo., July 9.—In 1
i desperate effort to stop the on- i
ward march of the cotton boll
weevil, Senator Smith of Caro-j
lina has, devised a plan whereby
die federal government will out
line to the farmers of the South |
certain territory which must not;
be planted in the coming year ,
and the federal treasury will j
see to it that the farmers sus- (
tain no pecuniary losses by rea
son of the order.
Senator Smith’s plan is said to ,
have received the endorsement
of Senator Kern, the majority j
leader. i]
The boll weevil migration is ;j
slow, the pests spreading from |
field to cotton field and virtually ']
touching no other vegetation. ;
By the interposition of a territo
ry barren of cotton, Senator ;
Smith believes the advance
could lie checked.
The weevil is said already to
have swept over Texas, Louis
iana, Oklahoma and Arkansas,
and now is threatening to in
vade Alabama, Florida, the two
Carolinas and Virginia. The
neutral strip, scientifically laid
out in the path of progress of
the pests, would effectually pro
tect these states, in Senator
Smith’s opinion. Congress prob
ably will be asked to take action
this session.

SEVERE PUNISHMENT
” I
Of Mrs. Cbapp;13, of Five Years’
Standing. Relieved bj Cardui. j
Mt. A;ry, N. C.—Mrs. Sarah M. Chap
pell of this town, says: “1 suffered for
five years with womanly troubles, also
stomach troubles, and my punishment
was more than any one could tell.
I tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.
I read one day about Cardui, the wo
man's tonic, and I decided to try it. I
had not taken but about six bottles until
i was almost cured. It did me more
good than all the other medicines 1 had
tried, put together.
My friends began asking me why I
looked so well, and I tola them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it.”
Do you, lady reader, suffer from any
of the ailments due to womanly trouble,
such as headache, backache, sideache,
sleeplessness, and that everlastingly tired
feeling?
If so, let us urge you to give Cardui a
trial. We feel confident it will help you,
just as it has a million other women in
the past half century.
Begin taking Cardui to-day. Youi
won’t regret it. All druggists.
