HIS WAY OUT A bashful young curate found the young ladies in his parish too helpful. At last it became so em barrassing that he left. Not long afterward he met the curate who had succeeded him. "Well,” he asked, "how do you get on with the ladies?” "Oh, very well, indeed!” said the other beaming. "There is safety in numbers, you know.” "Ah,” came the instant reply, "I only found it in Exodus!” Texas Lady Tells How Black-Draught Laxative Helps All Her Family Here’s how Black-Draught fills the needs of a family laxative in the home of Mrs. J.

O., for the murder of Sheriff Jesse Sarber in October, 1933. Hamilton escaped in September. 1933, from the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City, where he was serving a twenty-five-year term for au tomobile thefts. CHARLES A. FLOYD —Wanted in connection with the murder of Otto Reed, chief of police of McAlester, Okla., and others who were slain in Kansas City in June. 1933, when five per sons died; a prisoner, a Department of Justice agent and other r ^ace officers. Floyd has a long crimthal record, in cluding convictions for highway robbery. I —.1.. - ■ . - HOMER VAN METER —wanted for bank robbery and for ob structing justice in connection with the Dillinger case at St. Paul. He was paroled from the Indiana State Reformatory in May, 1933. Rewards totaling $5,000 are of fered by LIBERTY Magazine for information leadingsTo the arrest or capture of the fivemiad dogs, prin cipal associates of John Dillinger, as yet at large. They are John Ham ilton, Homer Van Meter, “Baby Face” i Nelson, whose real name Is Lester M Gillis, Charles A. “Pretty Boy” Floyd and Richard Tallman Galatas. LIBERTY Magazine, in making the offer of $1,000 reward for the arrest or capture of any one of the five, states: “If you happen to see any one of them, communicate at once with the nearest policeman. If your tip leads to the capture of any one of these men, LIBERTY will pay you the $1 000 regard gladly. LIBERTY is more than willing td pay $5,000 to rid the nation of these five men. “Study their pictures carefully. Read their records. Watch for them. You may not be a policeman; but you will be helping your com munity just the same if you do your part.” “BABY FACE” NELSON, whose real name is Lester M. Gillis, killer and bank robber, is now Public Enemy No. 1 and becomes the government’s “most wanted” man. He is charged with a number of crimes, including the killing at Little Bohemia, Spider Lake, Wis., of W. Carter Baum, a special agent of the Department of Justice, at the time Dillin ger and some of his confederates escaped from the net Federal agents had cast 1 about them there. RICHARD TALLMAN GALATAS, alias Dick Sheridan—wanted in connection with the June, 1933, Kansas City killing and lor other crimes. THIS MORNING A case of "Infantile paralysis” has just left my office. The formid able disease of the spinal cord, pret ty well known over the land be cause cf the experien :e of our presi dent with the same affection. We hr.' ;j of his interest >n the mi ieial spring in the south. wh“rc he goes occa.- onallv for renewed treatment. My patient, a wife aged 50, had ♦he acute attack Ins: January'. Her home—on the farm in Missouri. Her doctor, a skilled ciiaenostician, brought her through the acute stages with remarkab'e judgment. A ci hist had diagnosed the case "neuiitis,” which v/i; vague,— decidedly' inaccurate mistakes in this dfiease are often bn 1 tc rectify after the harm is don:. The good family do .to* "got out of the case with all he could save.” The woman can hobble about a little, with assistance. The febrile stage is gone. It is my business to restore the damaged system as safe ly a,nd as fast as possible. We do not need medicines now, so much as we need warm baths and trained massage; these we shall give the good woman—and it’s going to take time. One thing that is positively dangerous here—at this stage—is, hurtful manipulation of the spine. I shall not permit the masseuse to atempt to "adjust” the vertebrae. . . . I knew of a man in her con dition who took three or four very painful spinal "treatments,”—he never walked again! This woman has had inflamma tion of the spinal cord—one of the great nerve centers of the human system. The inflammation has left the great nerve-trunk weakened and incapable; no amount of ham mering on the bony structures can help us restore normal function. We want hydrotherapy and skilled massage to restore. Says Better Health To Pay South’s Depression Costs Washington.—A public service physician predicted that better health—and consequently increased efficiency—from CWA and federal malaria control work wotuld pay the south’s depression costs within 10 years. Dr. Louis L. Williams, Jr., in charge of malaria investigation for the health service, said he thought his optimistic forecast was true de spite an increase in the disease this I year in several sections. 1 "The efficiency of the popula tion in an area scourged by malaria is reduced approximately one-third by the disease.” Williams said. "Malaria has been costing the south half a billion dol lars a year at least. "I believe the control work done by the CWA and the federal emer-j gency relief administration will cut that loss sufficiency to repay the south for the depression.” Williams, fqr years a student of malaria causes and preventives, esti mated more than 6,000 miles of malaria drainage ditches were con structed by civil works crews, 180,000 men being so engaged at one time. The public works ad ministration allotted $1,000,000 to the public health service to super vise this work and similar projects carried on by federal emergency re lief. State health departments proba bly will supervise the work, Wil liams said, after the $1,000,000 is exhausted. The physician said the malaria border line gradually had been re treating oyer a period of years. States still on the malaria map of the health service include Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida^ Alabama, Louis iana, Oklahoma, Texas, and the southeastern tip of Illinois. Tiny areas are listed also in New Mexico, California and Oregon, and Mary land has few sporadic cases. Gold Hill Rt 1 Items We had a very big rain in our section last Sunday evening, the small streams and creeks filled up vehy rapidly. We are glad to see the good showers come on the crops. i nere was a large crowd at tne funeral of Mr. Willie Reeves at Flat Creek Baptist church last Sat urday. We were all very sorry to • learn of the sudden death of Mr. j Reeves. There were two white men ] came to his house about nine o’- ( clock last Thursday night and said , they were looking for an escaped convict and after getting Mr. | Reeves to the front door they shot iim with a .3 8 cal. uistol and then n fled. We have not learned if the J guilty party have been found yet rr not. We have not found or earned why they wanted to mur ler Mr. Reeves as they did. The Williams boys from up \Torth are visiting their parents for > : while, Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Wil- r< iams. o P. H. Wagoner and family visit- h d his mother, Mrs. W. A.

H. S. Wyatt and family attend 'd the baptizing at Brinkle Ferry, tear High Rock, the other day. Daniel Heglar, near Richfield, risked M. J. Arey Monday. GETTING ACQUAINTED While on the bench one day fudge Daniel called a case for trial, and two lawyers appeared as at torneys for the litigants. "You’re a dirty shyster,” snarled ane of the lawyers to the other, 'and before this case is through I’ll show you up for the crooked ape that you are.” "Sez you”, snapped the other. 'You are a cheat and a lair.” "Come, come,” broke in the judge. Let the case proceed now that the learned counsel have iden tified each other.” All we have to do to curb the wild automobile drivers, is to sta tion a policeman every 100 yards along the streets and roads.
