MALARIAL DISEASES
How to Avoid Them and the Se-
rious Consequences of Neg-
lect
Fir me up something to knock the
malaria doctor remarked a sallow
faced sickly looking man entering a
prominent physicians office the other
ay The doctor stepped to his medicine
case took down a couple of bottles mixed
a preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
shake well and follow directions and
resumed his seat
Such cases are frequent replied the
doctor in answer to a question The
warm days and damp chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach liver and bowels in
good condition Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives and it is from this class
that typhoidfever pneumonia Brights
Disease small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis-
eases are prevalent
The proper way to guard against the
malarial germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good condi-
tion by taking a reliable remedy that
will keep the bowels clear and the liver
healthy and to continue with it at fre-
quent intervals during the sickly season
A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or
four times a week will do all of this be
sides stimulating the digestion improv-
ing the appetite and keeping the bodily
energy at the highest pitch
Prickly Ash Bitters is known every-
where as a system tonic and bowel regu-
lator It not only removes all traces of
malarial poison from the system but
tones up the vital organs gives new
strength and vigor makes the body
strong and the brain active
Prlctly Ash Bitters is the best allaround
medicine for the family I ever used During the
past ten years I have always kept it in my house
Whenever any of my family ahowsigns of mala-
ria kidney trouble indigestion or constipation
a few doses is all that is needed to make them
well and hearty again W H McWilliams

Albany N Y May 12 At least
twenty men were killed today by a
premature blast of dynamite in a
stone quarry operated by the Callanan
Road Improvement company near
South Bethlehem eleven miles south
west of Albany Among the dead are
John Hoyt Callanan vice president
and general manager of the company
Charles D Callanan a brother of
the general manager
Leroy McMillan assistant superin-
tendent
One thousand pounds of dynamite
exploded and the bodies of the victims
were hurled hundreds of feet and so
badly mutilated as to be almost be
yond recognition As daikness was
falling a wagon drew up to the engine
house loaded with bodies that had
been picked up back of the quarry
hillThe
The Callanan Road Improvement
company furnished crushed stone for
road building The preparations for
todays blast had been going on for
six weeks Thirtyfive holes six feet
deep had been drilled at points about
twenty feet back from the face of
the big quarry and the explosion of
the dynamite with which they were
to be loaded was expected to displace
forty thousand pounds of rock Over
eight thousand pounds of dynamite
was to have been used The workmen
placed five hundred charges in six of
the holes and were working on the
sixth when a percussion cap was pre
maturely discharged A terrific ex-
plosion followed which hurled tons of
rock into the air and threw the bodies
in all directions
CONSTITUTION IS VIOLATED
Court of Criminal Appeals Rejects the
New Abandonment Law
Austin Texas May 12 The court
of criminal appeals today held uncon-
stitutional and totally invalid the act
of the Thirtieth legislature providing
for prosecution of a man for wife or
child abandonment
The court held that the act in nu
merous particulars is repugnant to
the constitution This decision was
reached in the case of Ex Parte Frank
A Smythe from Harris county where
in the relator was discharged
The court says We do not deem
it necessary to stave BenaumiuViii
stances upon which the relator predi-
cates his release in this case but suf-
ficient to say that all of his positions
raised the question as to the consti-
tutionality and validity of the aban-
donment of wife or child statute to
be found in the acts of the Thirtieth
legislature page 133 We hold that
aid act is totally invalid
Continuing the court holds as to
the provision requiring the defendant
to pay a fine to the wife or children
abandoned However beneficent the
purpose of this legislation all of which
we really and cheerfully concede yet
we must hold that no penal statue can
be passed in this state in the light of
the provisions of the constitution
which statute permits the fine after
collection to be paid to an individual
whoever that individual may be

Masterful Sermon By Rev Smith Last
Night on The Wages of Sin Is
Death Interest Grows
The meeting at Grace church grows
in interest from day to day Yester-
day the morning and evening services
were very fine The congregation of
yesterday morning was some larger
than usual and much interest was
manifested Bro Smiths subject was
Disinterested Friendship Not a-
more thoughtful sermon has been de-
livered since the morning services be-
gan An invitation was made for
those who had not given themselves
to religious living to do so two re-
sponded and gave up the world for
Christ
The evening service was more
largely attended than usual and the
congregation was very enthusiastic in
song and prayer Brother Smith
called upon the congregation for a
short testimonial service many men
and women who have been trying to
live a religious life for twenty thirty
and thirtyfive years spoke very en-
couragingly to those who were young-
er Indeed this was a very heplful
part of the senice Prof Galloway
rendered a very beautiful solo e
titled Tell Mother Ill Be There
The congregation is very much
pleased with him as a chorus leader
as are they with him as a soloist
Few choir leaders succeed in getting
more people to sing in both choir and
congregation than he
Brother Smiths text for the eve-
ning was The Wages of Sin is
Death The sermon was a master-
piece in fact a stronger argument
for the turning of people to God has
not been made at any time during the
meeting Seemingly there were men
women girls and hoys and especially
the men and women who realized
that their time to reecive the wages
of sin was almost here When the in
vitation was made for those who de-
sired to change their place from a
jjesearner of sin to a giftreceiver of
eternal life eight accepted the oppor-
tunity and joined the church There
was much Tejoicing for the fact that
people were hearing the gospel and
heeding it
The services will begin at 10 a m
and 745 p m and will continue
throughout the week All are invited
to attend Hear the gospel through a
great choir Reporter
