Article by It. F. Alciatorr Declares Clim.it
Has Nothing to Do With Disease.
H. F. Alciatore. section directo
of the weather bureau, has pre
pared an exhaustive article for ;
special bulletin to be issued by the
Little Rock Board of Trade or
‘‘The Climatology of Malaria.'
which dissipates the belief of man;
that malaria is a climatic disease
"The geographical distributer
of this disease is wider than s?bm<
people think for," says Mr. Alcia
tore, "as malaria is found in por
tions of New England, New Jersey
Indiana. Illinois and Missouri, a;
well as in the Southern states.
Prof. L. 0. Howard of Washing
ton, D. C., chief entomologist o
the department of agriculture, ha;
stated that "the disease known a;
malaria, or fever and ague, or chill;
and fever, or swamp fever, and the
varieties called intermittent, remit
tent and pernicious fevers, are
caused by parasites in the the
blood, which feed upon the rec
blood cells and destroy them. Mill
ions upon millions of them may ex
ist in the blood. By subdivision
the parasites produce 'spores,' and
it is when these spores escape
from the red blood cells that the
fever begins. The fever is caused
by a little poison which escapes
from each parasite with the
spores."
"The malaria parasites are not
found in air, water or food. says
Mr. Alciatore. "There is but one
way known to science in which a
person may contract malaria, viz.
by being bitten by an infected fe
male Anopheles mosquito. Aboui
30 species of mosquitoes have
been found, only one of which is
known to transmit malaria."
Mr. Alciatore relates the follow
ing as an example of popular ig
norance on this subject:
"A few days ago a Chicago trav
eling man remarked in my pres
ence that he contracted chills anc
fever every time he came South
This remark struck me as being sc
unreasonable and unfair that m\
sence of justice prompted me tc
say: 'My friend, you are wrong
As a matter of fact, you do nol
have chills and fever because yot
come South, but because whenevei
you come South you do not know
enough, or care enough to protect
yourself from the malarial mos
quito. Furthermore, if you travel
ing men would compel hotel keep
ers to furnish you with screenec
rooms, or if you carried portable
mosquito nets and made use o
them, you would never contrac
the disease."
There are regions in the Unitec
States, he says, that are warme
and more moist than Arkansas
where malaria is unknown.

Senator J. T. Robertson, of Le
county, is strongly urging th
adoption of Amendment No. 11
Lee county is in the black belt an
Senator Robertson is sending up
plea that should appeal to all me
everywhere, In a recent speec
on this subject he said:
“And 1 ask any of you fror
South and East Arkansas, who ma
oppose this amendment, what wi
you do with the negro vote afte
the elections are consolidated?
The fear of consolidation has been
, a nightmare in the black belt fot
a-generation, and at every session
of the, legislature it almost be
comes a law. Now that we have
been warned that consolidation
may be expected, and the black
1 belt left on an equal footing with
1 other sections, with no local power
! to check the encroachment of
negro domination, I beg you peo
ple from these sections to think
twice before you oppose this
1 amendment.”
! The above plea is no idle words.
The consolidation of elections is
1 coming. South and East Arkan
■ sas can’t hold out much longer in
; opposition to North and North
west Arkansas in their determina
tion to pass this law. It was only
by a narrow margin that it was
'defeated in the legislature last
year, and it was defeated only
after the members from South and
East Arkansas had promised to
support Amendment No.l 1 and re-,
1 move the negro from politics. We
believe state and national elections
will be consolidated by the next
legislature whether Amendment
No. 11 is defeated or not. It will
then take but t*vo years, if it is
defeated, for the people to see
their mistake. And if South and
East Arkansas does not support it
they will have no further excuses
! to offer against consolidation. It
up to YOU! Stephens News.

American Grm Output.
American mines in 1911 yielded i
$2,700 worth o* diamonds. $9,500 |
'worth of emeralds, $215,313
worth of sapphires, and $44,751
worth of turquoise according to
| figures just compiled by the United
' I States Geological Survey. The
; total output of precious stones in
the United States last year was
valued.at $343,692: the produc
tion in 1 910 was valued at $295.
:1 380.
Most of the American diamonds
come from Arkansas and Califor
i nia, although accounts have ap
peared in newspapers of the dis
covery of these gems in Illinois and
Texas. The most important find
of the year in Arkansas was an 8’8
carat white diamond the largest
diamond so far found in the state.
Another white diamond, of 3.44
64 carats, was also found.
Thr World's I.irgrst Building.
The first day of July the topmost
piece of steel work was riveted in
place on the Wool worth building in
New York. This structure is
notable as being the loftiest build
ing devoted to business purposes in
the world. From the sidewalk to
the top of the cupola is 750 feet,
5 which is 50 feet more than the
? Metropolitan building in that city.
. and 1 58 feet more than the Singer
1 building tower, also in New York.
i The builing contains fifty-five sto
i ries in the tower. It is of the
i standard steel column and ficor
beam construction; but in order to
i take care of the enormous dead
1 load and the great wind load, the
l columns are necessarily of unpre
r cedented size.
Miss Nipper fntertalns.
Miss Lucile Nipper entertainer
twenty couples at the Union hotr
from 8 to 1 1 :30 o'clock las'
Thursday evening in honor of M;
and Mrs. J. B. Calvert who lef
Sunday for their future home ii
Harrodsburg. Ky. An interestinp
contest of words ending in ice anc
ise was the cause of much amuse
ment. Progressive high-five and
rook were also played. Cream ana
cake was served and Mr. Bodine
rendered several vocal selections
which were pleasing. Miss Nipper
proved herself an excellent enter
tainer, being ably assisted by Mrs.
F. T. Wood and Miss Lulu Harring

Niagara Strong as 130,000,000 Men.
United States army engineers, in
a recent report on Niagara Falls,
estimate the force of the cataract
at 5,000.000 horse power, or
150.000,000 man power. If one
undertook to develop this energy
for only a single day by hiring men
at $9. each, it would cost $300.
000.000. or enough to build an
other Panama Canal. Besides that
it would be necessary to scour the
world for laborers, as the total
able bodied male population of the
United States is only about a tenth
of the working force that would be
required.
Freezing Ice Cream by Electricity.
Ice cream used to be considered
a luxury of special delicacy, but
now it is being used more and more
as a food. In the last five years
the consumtion of commercial ice
cream in this country has doubled,
according to the census figures.
The usual method of making ice
cream by using a freezing mixture
of ice and salt is very wasteful. To
make 10 gallons of ice cream
takes about 300 pounds of ice and
80 pounds of salt. The salt is
altogether lost and much of the
cold in the ice is also dissipated.
Electricity is now being introduced
for producing artificial refrigeration
more economically and before long
you will be eating “electric-made"
ice cream as a regular thing.
Organizing Negroes.
It seems that there are a number
of low designing whites going
through the county organizing a
labor negro union among the ne
groes. They collect a fee of $ 1.50
and 50 a month as dues. It is
strange the negro has so little
sense as to allow such low down
whites, who care nothing for him
except for his money, to lead them
into such trouble. It surely means
future trouble^or the negro as it
has always meant to be influenced
by such characters. Our advice
to the negro is to carefully avoid
such whites as these. They are a
much great danger to the negro
than the much feared “ax man,"
that has created such excitement
around here recently. —El Dorado
Times.
Our advice to the negroes around
Huttig is the same as the above,
should any of these organizers
show up here, and we believe our
negroes will heed it and have noth
ing to do with them.
Homans' Home Mission Meet.
The Womans’ Home Mission So
ciety met Monday at the church
with eight members present arid
Mrs. Watson as a visitor, and as
usual a very interesting and profit
able meeting enjoyed. Taking as
our scripture lesson the "July Pro
gram” in the Missionary Voice,
■ Scripture 5th chapter of Matthew,
Glad to h.ve Mrs. Watson
present and so many members this
warm weather. Visitors cordially
invited. We meet at the church
every Monday at 3 o'clock p. m.,
iexceptthe 1st Monday of each
month which is held at some mem
ber's home.
Woodrow Wilson, the next presi
dent of the United St ites. has a
favorite story. H< i • it is: A
Southern negro dasheu m.% '■ into
his mastei's house one evcnin;. and
iaid a man chased him with a knife
ind then shot at h:m. "Did he hit
you?" asked the master. "Mighty
near it. sah. replied the negro
"He just missed me an inch." "Did
you hear the bullet?" "Yes. sir. I
heard it twice: onct when it. passed
me and onct when I passed it."

The production of coal in Arkan
sas in 191 ] was 2.106.789 short
tons, valued at $3,396,849, ac
cording to Edwa-d W. Parker, in a
statement made public by the
United States Geological Survey.
Compared with 1910 the output
showed an increase of 200.831
short tons in quantity and of
$41 7.636 in value, but was 270.
| 000 tons less than the output of
' 1909 and nearly 500,000 tons
less than that of 1907. Although
the 1911 production wis about
i 30.000 tons more than that of

How to
Remit Money
B;ink Money Orders make the best form of remittance
better than postoffice or express money orders. They cost
less. You don t have to fill out a complicated "application
blank." If a bank money order is lost or stolen you get your
money back without trouble, red tape or delay. Another
thing: If the party you send the money to claims he did not
receive it. you can come to the bank and get the records and
document; to prove that you sent it. A $100 Bank Money
Order costs only 25 cents just half as much as postoffice or
express orders.
